Think you would need Movie { title: "Star Wars".to_owned(), .. }, the .. is mandatory.

Doesn’t change the fact that Lemmy does not support posts outside of communities.

Okay, sure you could have apps open links to external posts, as the app would know that it would need to fetch the post by searching the URL (switched with a HTTPS scheme). I can kinda see the point of that. I’m not sure the fediverse and ActivityPub is really super mature enough for that yet. For instance you can’t fetch Mastodon posts from Lemmy.

By “claiming addresses” you mean domains? Or what?

You mean because the address in the fediverse scheme would be domain-independent? How in the world would that work? How would it know what to connect to? You’re proposing something completely different than ActivityPub at least.

Changing the scheme doesn’t really make any difference if it’s still just HTTP underneath. The scheme is just for indicating a protocol. So what’s the different protocol you’d actually propose?

Well there are in fact other options than Lemmy already, like Mbin and Piefed. This is good - more options means users have more choices and they all still interoperate so everyone can choose what they want without being separated.

Wow, language truly is amazing
