  • Oh I didn’t thing about access points. With something like ZigBee, the switches add to the network range. But for WiFi, each switch will need to be in range of an access point. We have pretty decent coverage but the benefit of using ZigBee is other devices can take advantage of the extended network.

    Others have talked about Zwave, I’m not sure which camp they sit in.















  • Yes sorry, I know there is more complexity than what I implied. I think it came from a position of frustration that Kbin has been DDoSing lemmy instances for months due to some bug causing junk activities to be sent in huge numbers, in addition to Kbin being the primary source of spam for lemmy. I’ll remove my comment as I can’t stand behind it.


  • Dave@lemmy.nztoFediverse@lemmy.worldCan someone take over KBin?

    I like the idea of Sublinks for this reason. They wanted to create a Lemmy alternative, but they are maintaining Lemmy API compatibility. That way they build one piece at a time. The Lemmy frontend Tesseract was forked from Photon, and then became the Sublinks front end. But it’s still also a Lemmy frontend because they work with the same API structure.

    In addition, Lemmy apps all work with Sublinks as well.

    This way, they could focus on just the backend component, and rely on Lemmy components for the other pieces until they are able to get everything in house. Though they have a plan to keep Lemmy API compatibility, so there will always be this big pile of apps and web frontends that can be used with both.
