  • NSFW on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Yes, but there are no (cannot be) any content rules that apply to the entire fediverse, the admins of each instance determine what experience their users will have.

    Not everyone is seeing the same posts you are seeing, and your instance has no rules on the topic. You could have more luck enacting change by messaging your admins or making a meta post in your instance's meta community.

  • Nobody really seems to be pointing out that you are on an instance that does not require the behavior you are requesting.

  • Ah ok, so ignoring Calibre for a moment, what's the difference between Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web Automated? The ReadMe does not contain a list of the differences.

  • This is explaining the difference between Calibre and Calibre-Web.

    The person you replied to asked what the connection is between "Calibre-Web" and "Calibre-Web Automated"

  • Lemmy and Piefed are much more 1:1 reddit replacements. Mbin is it's own thing, which is very high quality, but has less out of the box appeal to someone looking for "fediverse reddit".

    There is a federation problem on Programming.dev

  • What's going on? Why does this offtopic comment have 14 upvotes and no upvotes?

    EDIT: Dead internet theory here in full force. This post is about Lemmy. The only thing that has to do with Substack is the example post that OP highlighted to demonstrate issues with Lemmy federation. And yet the top comment (and replies to my comment) is going on as if this post is about Substack, almost as if it was written by a technology that cannot understand context.

  • That alt text is just TOO real

  • The Future is NOT Self-Hosted

    Jump

  • The LinkedIn-styled writing here is hard for me to get through, but I think the general gist is that for profit platforms are easier to onboard which I agree with. This line stands out:

    And what do we get in return? A worse experience than cloud-based services.

    I have to disagree somewhat, it's a different experience that is absolutely more difficult in many ways, but for those of us who value privacy, control over our data, and don't like ads, the trade-off is worth it. Also it goes without saying that the usability of selfhosted apps has exploded in the past few years and it will likely become less and less of an issue.

  • I love Lemmy

    Jump

  • Fortunately "groupthink" on the fediverse isn't a structural problem since nobody controls all instances and every instance has different moderation styles.

  • missing lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • I love the idea of an instance for a whole metro area, then each neighborhood could have it's own community.

  • How come Lemmy rarely shows up in internet search results?

    Jump

  • I also noticed that when Lemmy links do appear it's often to a random federated instance, not the original source.

  • Please, FOSS world, we need something like ChromeOS

    Jump

  • Eh, I would have agreed a few years ago. But now default Ubuntu boots up basically looking like MacOS with the browser (firefox by default, not Chrome) right there in your face ready to launch. For someone truly not aware how to use a computer beyond a browser it couldn't be much easier (except booting directly into the browser). The only thing preventing that from catching on is that those people don't even know what an operating system is, let alone that it could be changed.

  • Please, FOSS world, we need something like ChromeOS

    Jump

  • The idea of ChromeOS is simple: it's just enough Linux to get you online. It turns a PC into something akin to a tablet, with a full-screen icon-based app launcher. The desktop is very simple and vaguely Windows-like: there's a taskbar at the bottom, a file manager, drivers enough common hardware that most things just work out of the box, including a bunch of common GPUs, networking including Wi-Fi. In terms of apps, there's a built-in Google Drive client, and of course the Chrome web browser.

    This is more or less describing one of the many immutable distros that only run programs with flatpaks. It's entirely feasible if someone wanted to make a distro with even less functionality, but why?

  • Eh, I think you're projecting. He literally owned his instance. He was playing with his own ball at his own house and you got "butthurt" because he didn't want to play with you.

    It's no secret that a lot of people are attracted to Lemmy because they felt Reddit mods were too overbearing, but some of us like Lemmy because we didn't think Reddit mods were doing enough about the overbearing users.

  • He said "this" experiment, not "the fediverse" which I interpreted to mean his instance (or perhaps Lemmy).

    That said, I'm honestly curious what do you care about his "toxicty" if he's not an admin of your instance? You don't seriously believe you have a right to dictate what he does with his own hardware do you?

  • What did you interpret the premise to be? I read the post when it was up, and it read to me like OP was saying essentially that too many toxic users and not enough admins willing to stand up to them make the overall experience not fun.

    EDIT: Which is accurate in my mind at least when it comes to Lemmy
