    Thoughts on bringing sportbots.xyz to Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I think Blaze's point still is relevant: if you are posting a lot on communities that large instances dont even know about, then your efforts will be harder. Ideally one could change something about that, for example use a user account on such a big instance to pull in those communities into federation.

  • Instances.social surfaces some of the server rules into a nice UI for mastodon instances but yeah, those things you mention would also be nice.

  • Reposting based on a signal sounds like the best idea.

    Because we kinda have the alternative in place: lemmit chose the way of replicating reddit posts onto a committed instance. That means that someone still has to manually go, look at - for example the F1 - lemmit, choose an interesting post there and cross-post it to the relevant lemmy community.

    If the repost into a relevant lemmy community happened automatically based on a signal, that would take off work from users.

    Could that signal be the number of interactions in activitypub for a sportsbots post? Or would it be the Twitter interactions?

  • Why would you "not want sports in Lemmy"? Like, how is a sports community (like those that already exist on here) hurting you?

  • "Unfortunately, from a scientific point of view, we can't really evaluate what was in the documentary because they offered no data from the analysis whatsoever," former director of Spain's National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences, Antonio Alonso, told Manuel Ansede and Nuño Domínguez at the Spanish news service, El País.

  • How should I be accessing the fediverse to get the most "federated" experience

    Jump

  • The point is that the more users you have on an instance and the more different and varied accounts/communities they follow, that means more content being pulled into that instance.

    Or alternatively the instance might be subscribed to some relay in order to "see" more. But thats probably something that only the admin knows.

  • Is fedia.io federating well with the "flagship" servers in the fediverse (pixelfed.social, mastodon.social, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml)? Because the thing that seems important to me if looking at interconnectivity is whether the subscring to a tag on a server actually makes me see what people post under that tag, and hopefully not omit a lot of posts because my instance doesnt know about them existing?

  • Problem being that any instance only displays those posts under a hashtag that it knows about. Currently, if I follow #formula1 from my home instance, I'm seeing different posts than if I follow #formula1 from a certain other instance.

    Will probably get better with developments in that aspect in the next few years.

  • Surph_ninja is definitely right with one thing though: previously Meta used a pre-selected group of organizers who were able to fact check. Meta are now switching to a model where everyone can "fact check" (the former Twitter "community notes" system).

  • I take it that you missed the whole WordPress situation that developed over the last couple of months?

    It's about control over the intellectual property (trademarks, copyright) as well as control over the company which pays the developers. One does definitely not want a single person in control of these things, otherwise they can hold the whole project hostage (like Mullenweg is accused of, in the case of WordPress).

    Additionally, the change also gives them a preferable tax status than the previous arrangement.

  • The point isnt money. The point is the "benevolent dictator" model, see Matt Mullenweg and the current WordPress controversy. The whole future of that software depends on this guy because he controls the most important assets (like the trademarks) personally.

    Eugen and the whole Mastodon development team want to avoid a situation like that.
