  • My feedback after one weekish on piefed.

    Jump

  • I also am not a fan of the topic grouping feature but it seems that most people on piefed love it.

  • Substack open source rival Ghost is now connected to the fediverse

    Jump

  • Substack is newsletter focused, subscriptions are for individual substack writers' newsletters (you can't access all substack newsletters with a single subscription) and it has a recommendation feature that writers like because it can help them grow their subscribers and therefore grow their revenue.

  • Deleted

    Learning Lemmy and the posts are both there and not there?

    Jump

  • I forgot about that. The developers haven't addressed so many things.

  • Sorry, everyone's favorite fediverse chick is now being filtered… soon

    Jump

  • Thanks

  • The 200+ Sites an ICE Surveillance Contractor is Monitoring | ShadowDragon sources data from all over the web and lets government analysts easily search it and draw connections between people

  • Mastodon is not currently on the list

  • Why Isn't the "All" Feed Different for Each Instance?

    Jump

  • The problem I see with this idea is that I have no idea who most people are on "my" instance or what sort of content they're interested in. Even for a topic based instance like https://startrek.website/, outside of Star Trek, what are the chances that the interests of the members align?

    The Lemmy developers were working on making user defined custom feeds. If that ever get implemented, I'd certainly give many ideas a try. But the Lemmy devs don't have any new feed options on their priority list and I doubt they will anytime soon.

    The main dev (only dev?) of piefed seems much more likely to implement new ideas. For example, I had mentioned that only votes from a community's subscribers should be counted on posts to said community by default with the owner of the community given an option to count all votes. It was implemented within days.

    Jump

  • They're going to events and taking nice pictures and releasing them to the public domain.

    Jump

  • They could also pay for good pictures to be released to the public domain themselves.

    But if someone wants to spend their time to do this uncompensated, they aren't doing any harm.

  • What about AT protocol?

    Jump

  • LOL I should have reread that one.

  • What about AT protocol?

    Jump

  • The data is not centralized, but everyone is using the same aggravation aggregation service (indexer) to access the data.

  • Removed

    So, after using Lemmy for 1.5 Years. You are telling I am not even allowed to use Lemmy?

    Jump

  • No. All of your direct interactions are with your instance which federates with others.

  • Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option.

    Jump

  • Don't trust him based on his prior comments

  • Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option.

    Jump

  • I'm not a fan of Kagi's founder, so I generally don't use it.

  • Saying "Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed" is too long, just Lemmy is reductive, "Threadiverse" doesn't really roll off the tongue,we are only a subset of the Fediverse. What would you call us? Horrible names allowed

    Jump

  • That's the result of referring to Lemmy as a service instead of Lemmy as a project. It was cleared up when people stopped doing that.

    Jump

  • Seems the confusion was the many people referring to Lemmy the project as Lemmy the service. And it was cleared up when the discussion moved to instance as the service and apps for the service.

    Jump

  • I think this is a great illustration of my point. I like the culture beehaw.org has established more than what lemmy.blahaj.zone has encouraged. And I don't particularly care about "the fediverse". I care about the online communities I engage with.

    Everyone is different and I make my recommendation based on what I think the person I'm making recommendations to would like most.

    Jump

  • I generally don't. I don't find it to be a useful grouping to reference or discuss.

    Try piefed.socialTry Discuss.onlineTry beehaw.orgTry programming.dev I'm always referring to one, never the group.

  • Of what benefit is this for a bank? Why would they choose to offer it?
