Slightly off-topic but recently I saw a bunch of these under the rayshader tag on mastodon, seems like https://fosstodon.org/@terence posts a lot of them if you want to check some out (edit: I might want to clarify that they are likely generated based on data rather than photos from space, though)
To get an impression of the direction they will be taking, their Lemmy post discussing the archetypes of people who might use PostFreely.
This sentence sort of reads like there was a link expected to be in it, but I could be mistaken. I think I found it here.
I would sort of expect it to be the stuff we struggle to get rid of, like fungi and weeds. So maybe mushrooms and dandelions? This is just a wild guess, and obviously you couldn’t live off them forever.
To add to scytale’s description, it’s a fork of misskey that was formerly known as calckey
Maybe it’s a focal length difference? Example
I found this which has registrations and posts for mastodon / fediverse over hour / day / week / month but it breaks it out by instances so can be a bit difficult to tell overall. Here’s mastodon in the last 7 days for example.
Wait, what? I need more information. You probably mean loose leaf but I guess you could just cut open a used bag? But surely that’s like, one bag a month or something. I drink like 6 cups of tea a day, how long does it take before you can add more? (I had this problem with composting when I learned I could add like a small peel per week and I was like… I generate 10x that per day.)
One thing I’ve been told in the past is that with public voting records you at least get an idea of if brigading is happening, where it’s coming from etc. Though maybe that’s just a giant list of randomly generated usernames but if it’s coming from a single instance there are at least actions to take from that.
Definitely curious to see if we experience waves similar to how mastodon does every time elon says something stupid. I’m not sure we will, though. With the entire reddit gold thing I was expecting people to throw their arms up about the reversal of stuff people paid money for but it seems like they just accepted it and moved on. Perhaps the people that remain will stay there no matter what. Regardless I think how things are going here are still promising.
I do think your heart is in the right place trying to find and discuss engagement issues in the threadiverse. That’s obviously been a common complaint people have posted about and I can see you believe strongly about this.
I think I just disagree with the issue at hand, or at least that there is a single one and that this solves it. To give an anecdotal example: I make a post around every day on kbin.social that gets 0 likes, 0 dislikes, and 0 comments, in other words no engagement. You might say this is due to it being difficult to find! Well, it actually is! So much so because it doesn’t even federate out to lemmy.world, lemm.ee, fedia.io, etc. I check remote instances and my posts never federate anywhere. If you look at my profile from your instance, lemmy.world, it would seem I barely have any posts, but on my home one I have quite a few.
This is just one example of course, but from my perspective, the major issues we have right now are technical ones, and I’d like to see those fixed before trying to focus on social ones.
Mastodon solved this with an Explore-Feed, which consolidates the Local- and All-Feed
Can you please explain what that means for non-mastodon users. As far as I know about lemmy, which granted isn’t much, local posts are not hidden from all, meaning it already is a consolidated local and all feed.
Personally, I didn’t agree with your previous post and I don’t agree with this. I believe instance owners can run their instance however they wish, they’re the ones paying and maintaining it. If it’s not suited to your tastes, there are other places to look at. If an instance wants to federate with no one or hide all remote posts or anything, that is their choice to run the software that way. People aren’t locked in jail cells making decisions with no information of the outside world. Nor are the defaults they set locked either, I just bookmark “hot” and “sub” and go to those every time, regardless of what the homepage has set.
