  • Is lemmy slow for anyone else?

    Jump

  • I rarely see any performance issues. Maybe once a month or so the main page won’t load for a couple hours.

    I comment and browse a lot, but not obsessively so. I can’t say I’ve ever had an issue with performance with .world

  • Defense of the internet (from billionaires) according to Cory Doctorow

    Jump

  • Doctorow lays out the technical challenges of ATProto and why it really isn’t really feasibly federated or decentralized, and why he supports Free Our Feeds. He’s pragmatic and is primarily concerned with stopping enshittification, not concerned with being married to ActivityPub.

    Is your internet speed rigged? They want us consuming, not participating!

    Jump

  • That’s most likely due to the fact that docsis dedicates most of the spectrum on the cable for download not upload since that’s what most users want. Now if those are fiber speeds maybe you have a different argument but cable networks are designed to give the most people the best experience and dedicating spectrum to upload would be a waste.

    If you want to pay more, I’m sure your cable provider would give you a symmetrical cable plan for $400 a month

  • The X Everything App will launch this year, aiming to compete with Apple Pay

    Jump

  • If someone tries to send me money with X Pay or whatever, it will at least be a easy sign I should cut all ties with them

  • If you could improve PeerTube, what would you improve?

    Jump

  • Improve cross instance search and for more creators to move from other platforms

  • Threads is offically getting ads

    Jump

  • You’d think the trans hate and nazi love would be enough for everyone to defederate with them.

  • A few Lemmy.world users have been complaining that the website is slow for them, what is your experience?

    Jump

  • I wonder if it has something to do with the default Lemmy front end. I don’t have any slowness using Voyager on mobile or m.lemmy.world on desktop

  • Removed Locked

    Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Leftists famously hate other leftists

  • Removed Locked

    Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Lemmy world is probably the most centerist instance that hasn’t been defederated. Lemm.ee are sh.it.just.works are probably good replacements if she thinks it is just to far left wing but it’s probably that she is seeing .ml or one of the other various socialist instances.

    She will need to utilize her block list to block tankie users and communities if she doesn’t want to see them. A lot of entrenched users are here because they realized that mainstream platforms were enshittified a lot earlier because they of their anti capitalist views

  • Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

    Jump

  • Loops is made by the same developer as Pixelfed but I have no idea what he intends for loops

  • Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

    Jump

  • At the very least though, at least the algorithms are open source so we know exactly how hot, rising, and scaled are sorted in Lemmy at least and so people who want those algorithms can choose if they wish and those who don’t want them don’t have to have them.

    We should train people to mindfully find content. Content discovery algorithms just encourage shitposting. Just put the top posts by favorites or boosts or whatever they are called on Pixelfed in a special trending feed and then just sort your follows by chronological and local by chronological. But as long as their is options, I won’t complain.

  • Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

    Jump

  • I think you are just seeing people repost loops to Lemmy as Loops isn’t federated yet

  • Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

    Jump

  • I mean people like mastodon and it’s full of the same takes. But on mastodon if you post a pro capitalist post to your timeline, people just ignore. Unlike on Lemmy where you have to post it on a post that’s likely to garner a response

  • Lots of people asking questions about the fediverse over at /r/fediverse

    Jump

  • Joining the fediverse isn’t hard. If you can’t figure out the onboarding process, it’s because you were looking for a reason to not join.

  • Let's discuss how to efficiently promote Lemmy to potential new joiners

    Jump

  • I’ve promoted it and it has plenty of subscribers, it just doesn’t have a lot of regular activity. It’s not my community anyway, I’ve just been trying to steward it the last two seasons. I think it’s more just become more of a place to chat about fantasy football than an active place ask for and give advice for fantasy football. I’m fine with that as well.

    Jump

  • I don’t know if @GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world has a bot that automatically posts news from a feed or is just a diligent poster but he is always posting relevant news to the NFL community.

    For college football, @g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world and @ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social do a great job modding and make sure that community has content.

    The CFB community has really active game threads and even a community poll, the NFL community is more for news but it’s very helpful for me to follow the news in the league and most posts get at least a few comments.

    Jump

  • I get the frustration with not having a lot of active posters in a community despite diligence in posting and promotion on !newcommunities@lemmy.world. I’ve had the same frustration trying to operate !fantasyfootball@lemmy.world the last two seasons. I am not going to keep it up this offseason

  • I’m for the sink or swim mentality. Point them here and if they come up with an excuse to not be here then they probably weren’t going to be a good contributor anyway.

    I’m fine with being selective. There is no reason we need 1M+ MAU for the sake of the network, we aren’t trying to turn a profit

  • Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy

    Jump

  • Instances that don’t vet users sufficiently get defederated for spam. Users then leave for instances that don’t get blocked. If instances are too heavy handed in their moderation then users leave those instances for more open ones and the market of the fediverse will balance itself out to what the users want.
