Tilde.news – A Link Aggregator for the Tildeverse
- snapplebobapple 4y agoWhat is the tildeverse?

- softskunk 4y agonetworks of pubnixes, servers on which you can have shell access and host webpages at URLs like example.com/~alice https://tildeverse.org/ https://tildeverse.org/
- corobo 4y agoLooks like the link is rickrolling when you come in via HN referrer if anyone's confused. Also might explain the downvotes on the parent comment if you know the URL to be legit. Copy paste the link to save a minor annoyance. It's a bit persistent as they used a 301 permo redirect, open incognito if you've already clicked it.
- pluc 4y agoThat's kinda funny
- DanAtC 4y agoNot as funny as a nut in an egg cup
- crazygringo 4y agoOK, guess I'll be the one to ask then -- why does the tildeverse hate HN and not want anyone visiting from it...?
- tedunangst 4y agoYour link might get popular on HN, and inevitably someone will comment "well that's stupid", and you will read it and feel bad. Not reading HN comments is apparently not an option.
- snapplebobapple 4y agoWell, that's stupid.....
- beepbooptheory 4y agoWell there can also be quite a lot of bigotry and hate around here, don't blame people wanting to block traffic from here, especially when your trying to create something sweet and pure like this.
- throwanem 4y agoI'm pretty sure JWZ is the OG for redirecting HN referrers, and whatever else you care to say about the man, if you tell me he does this so's not to get his fee-fees hurt, I will laugh in your face.
- pengaru 4y agoThat's JWZ though. When I last explored the tildeverse it was rife with easily triggered precious snowflakes actively searching for reasons to be offended. It wouldn't surprise me if the fee-fees protection comment had at least a grain of truth to it...
- throwanem 4y agoIt may be simply that HN commenters, taken in the large, far less frequently have anything nearly so novel or worthwhile to say as the mean participant here believes himself able to contribute. This alone strikes me as sufficient reason both for referrer redirects as a mild but not ineffective deterrent, and also for the general - and generally low - opinion of this site which is held in many other quarters. Prior experience strongly suggests your next move, or someone's, will be to ask why I stay here myself, if I have such a low opinion of the place. The question is pointless, and has two answers. One is for the opportunity to indulge my own love for needless pettifogging and disputation, a flaw in my character I have never managed fully to extirpate. The other is that once in a blue moon, at a rate slightly in excess of that I've seen most other places, someone here does actually say something worth taking seriously. Perhaps this thread will surprise me in that regard.

- BLKNSLVR 4y agoAnd pubnix: Public Access Unix Systems Public Access Unix Systems are shared computers that people share and log on to.
- zelphirkalt 4y agoLike really Unix systems, or were they so uninformed, that they meased up their name? I mean it is in the name of GNU/Linux, that it is not Unix ...
- stonogo 4y agoSDF, arguably the largest pubnix provider, runs NetBSD, which is a Unix. They also offer Linux, TOPS-20, Plan 9, and other Unix derivatives, but their core systems are all Unix.
- hidelooktropic 4y agoThanks for the link. I now understand the tildeverse really well. I love the way it explains it so easily and didn't take much reading or time to understand.
- wizerno 4y agohttps://tilde.wiki/wiki/Main_Page https://tilde.wiki/wiki/Main_Page
- wkat4242 4y agoIt's mainly a place for a curious cross-section of the technical and arts community. Very nice place IMO. They offer public access Unix, chats, hosting and various other services. Very different from other pubnixes like SDF, because at tilde the public systems are really a basis for a community, whereas users on other pubnixes tend to just do their own thing.
- paulpauper 4y agoCool. here is an automated rss aggregator for substack : https://pubstack.site/ https://pubstack.site/ (warning may be political)
- O1111OOO 4y agofyi: though not apparent on the page itself, there is an RSS feed: https://tilde.news/rss https://tilde.news/rss (activity itself is very light so a feed helps)
- simongray 4y agoThank you! That is a nice addition to my lists of feeds.
- schemescape 4y agoCan someone clarify where the links are sourced from? My very limited understanding is that the tildeverse is a network of public *nix servers where people have accounts. It seems like people host tiny home pages and those are publicly accessible. Do these people submit links to the aggregator? Is it like Hacker News, just with a different audience?
- mariusor 4y agoThis looks like a deployment of the code behind lobste.rs. I can understand that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but this is a little blatant, they didn't even "tilderize" their user profiles to give it a local spin.
- b3n 4y agoWhat is "blatant"? I don't think sister sites[1] are frowned upon. The code is released under a permissive license, after all. [1] https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/wiki#sister-sites https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/wiki#sister-sites
- mariusor 4y agoOK, let's say "not acknowledged", and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the tildeverse except for the statement in the about page. At least I can claim that https://littr.me https://littr.me is part of the tildeverse because it uses ~username as a way to reach its users' profiles.
- uni_rule 4y agoFor a moment I had this confused with Tildes.net
- ZacnyLos 4y agoIs it connected with the rest of Fediverse? If not, I'm not interested, Lemmys instances are much better cause they are interoperable.
