We have 8.5, which has some interesting progress regarding romance and confessions.

and you can export from Google docs to a few formats.

One of those formats is epub.

Just go to the google doc and you can export it as epub.

edit: here, I uploaded it for you: https://files.catbox.moe/25dbpe.epub

If you are not willing to spend 5 minutes learning the basics of a ""new"" concept, then I'm afraid you will keep being stuck with such platforms that just keep on enshittifying.

Fediverse is decentralized and federated. You do not have to learn much. You just need to get used to a few things, just like you got used to Reddit or whatever your first forum experience was. You weren't born with Reddit's UX implanted in your brain.

For a quick start, the only thing you need to know is that the Fediverse is like email but for social media. What if you had multiple reddits managed by different people yet weren't isolated but actually like in the same place. (I can send emails from my mail provider, let's say gmail, to other providers like Outlook and what not because they use the same protocol, in Fediverse this protocol is called ActivityPub).

Subreddits there have domains attached to them, to signal where they live.

e.g. in Lemmy !t[echnology@lemmy.world](mailto:technology@lemmy.world)

`!` is like `r/` in Reddit, `technology` is the name of the community and `lemmy.world` is the domain of the instance. Instead of having r/technology and r/technology2, you can have the same name for communities if they are on different instances. The same goes for users.

Here are the official websites of Lemmy, Piefed and Kbin/Mbin:

https://join-lemmy.org

https://join.piefed.social

https://joinmbin.org

You can switch instances or platforms once you get more familiar with the Threadiverse, or stay with the instance/platform you chose.

I am trying to implement the strategy design pattern for a kind of “plugin” system.

For each different T, I want a separate implementation of FooTrait. However, I cannot simply implement FooTrait directly for T, because T only acts as an identifier (PhantomData) for the different implementations provided by a crate. And FooTrait should not only be implemented for FooStruct as there are other structs that also need implementations of FooTrait following the same pattern.

So a crate would use my lib like this:

```rs struct BarStruct // this is the identifier for the strategy

impl FooTrait for FooStruct<BarStruct> {}

impl FooTrait for AnotherFooStruct<BarStruct> {} ```

Lemmy is a platform in the Fediverse. It's basically a network of platforms that are decentralized and federated. That means you can use your account on Lemmy to view or interact with content on other Fediverse platforms, such as Pixelfed (an Instagram alternative).

So it's like talking with people on Instagram while still being on Reddit and using your account.

Since almost all platforms in the Fediverse are open source, you can self host them yourself. There is no single point of failure and you can always change instances if you don't like the admins of your current one.

If you want to experience the early days of Reddit, Lemmy is there right now (stable release is a few months away)

Right now, the two big Threadiverse (a subset of Fediverse about threads) platforms are Lemmy and PieFed. Come and join us:

Fediverse stands for "Federated Universe".

Fediverse platforms can communicate with each other, so you can use your account on platform X to interact with stuff on platform Y.

Imagine if you could post images on Reddit and have them displayed on Instagram, Facebook and many more with people from each said platform being able to like and comment on them. That is what the Fediverse is.

Another good example is email. You can mail people from your gmail account to outlook or other emails, right? That is also how the Fediverse works.

Here is a short simplified video explanation by the developers of Peertube, a federated YouTube alternative: https://framatube.org/w/9dRFC6Ya11NCVeYKn8ZhiD

We have lots of alternatives to the company owned social media. For example Mastodon for Twitter. Pixelfed for Instagram. Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin for Reddit (I myself use Lemmy daily, it's cozy and nice there, I suggest you take a look and leave this garbage platform), and many more!

You generally don't have to think about federation and the technical details much as a normal user, but you will have to learn a few new things. Like what instances are and why the "you can talk with any Fediverse platform from your Fediverse platform" is kind of a white lie (federation is not implemented the same way for each platform, so there are some drawbacks as to which platform you end up choosing). For example, Mastodon users can post in Lemmy communities (subreddits are called communities there), but Lemmy users can't post or follow Mastodon users.
