I also may boost posts I make with alts, but I'm mainly here so that should be rare.

  • Wondering if running a single user Lemmy is an overkill

  • Also on the images issue pointed by another user, maybe also see if Lemmy now has a solution for it, or if any of the alternatives do.

  • Maybe there's a way to import contents through federation? Just, if both run on the same hardware when doing it (possibly the new instance on a subdomain), both would run way slower.

    Jump

  • Directly compatible with Lemmy, there's Friendica (Facebook-like; also compatible with Twitter-like posts e.g. from Mastodon), Mbin (simplified/cleaner UI; also hybrid like Friendica), and PieFed (apparently more Reddit-like than Lemmy from what I read, in a technical sense).

    Dunno which are better/worse to run, but I remember seeing hardware requirements on the docs of each of them.

    Also it's not uncommon to see single user instances from my experience. But if you feel it's a waste of domain/resources, you could also create some dedicated community or something to give further use for it.

  • Found somewhat recently an Android program, Musicolet, which does count how many times you played a given music file. It's on Google Play and as an APK through the devs' site.

  • This appears to be the whole article:

  • Why You Should Never Use Pixelation To Hide Sensitive Text

    Jump

  • Checked the user's account. In lack of more info, it looks suspicious, as it only has a handful of posts, all article links, and no comments to show it's an actual human. Perhaps it is a bot grinding trust more slowly, to not be burned too quickly. Or maybe it's just an user that seldom logs in here.

    And borrowing this comment to opinate on the article itself, it still sounds relevant as the technologies the article's OP proposes only got more powerful. Bet now we can even use LLMs to do that, no coding or research needed on the attacker's side.

  • Throwing ideas out for lemmy

  • Sorry. I guess the miserable part sounded different than what I meant. I some times mix the meanings and usage of words, even in my mother language. That part was meant as an extension of the "be nice" part from a previous comment.

  • About size, Lemmy and Kbin (RIP) were pretty slow 2~3 years ago. Now, even though I block most generalist, region-specific and news communities, I still struggle to keep track of my feed.

    And if someone tries to build something good as a job, I don't think this job of his should be turned miserable either.

    Jump

  • Also an idea that requires more patience, share posts from here to your contacts elsewhere. That's specially practical if it's some image post (like memes) and the platform has good link preview display.

    Also also, not ideal and much more of a slow process, but if someone from your contacts is on Threads or Bluesky, respectively suggest to him/her to activate ActivityPub integration, and suggest to follow Fedi Bridgy. Both would be microblogging-oriented, but there should be some degree of propagation from threaded posts over to microblogging platforms.

    Also³, as I suggested in a separated comment, integration between ActivityPub-compatible platforms varies depending on each engine involved, so in Lemmy for example, if something is seen as a channel, maybe people could seek to follow and interact with it too?

  • By the by, Peertube channels are treated as communities on the threadiverse, and iirc Wordpress blogs too (though I'd need to confirm that one), so maybe people could subscribe to such communities through their threadiverse accounts to help with engagement?

  • Throwing ideas out for lemmy

    Jump

  • Places like Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin and Friendica, the "threadiverse", from my understanding are slower to grow, as their community system is meant for specific niches.

    Places for microblogging (e.g. Mastodon) and for videos (Peertube, Loops) should be steadier to grow, the former for being more engagement oriented, and the latter as most popular video platforms end up being discount-Youtube or TikTok, or even those two themselves, and specially for Youtube, it seems every few months there's a blunder there that could incentivize migration.

    Also the amount of options to join in can be rather off-putting. Even if the person is hellbent on joining some server, if he/she stops to check the rules of each potential server instead of picking the biggest one, he/she's in for a long read.

    And about sharing Reddit content, a tip, Old Reddit has open RSS for communities and profiles and you could see if the Lemmit or Ibbit administrators would be willing to track more feeds on their instances.

  • What is the best way to link to a podcast episode on the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • If your podcasts have an RSS feed, you can set a bot to share them. Apparently you can configure that natively on Friendica for thread-based posts, and on Mastodon you can ping @birb@rss-parrot.net with the feed link for it to create a bot account for that feed.

  • Mozilla situation

    Jump

  • Possibly. Also about Waterfox, they also have a portable version for Linux, which for me is pretty important.

  • Firefox forks seem decent. Besides the aforementioned Waterfox, Fennec so far seems good too, people seem to like LibreWolf, and likely I'm forgetting some other fork.

  • Mozilla situation

    Jump

  • Now I'm not sure so will have to check. But even if so, they still kept gradually advancing in their support for Mozilla.

  • From what I've been noticing, they're going downhill since they started being supported by their competitor and monopoly. Could they be suffering from sabotage, I wonder...
