  • What would you like to see on the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Lobsters and hackernews.

    Lemmy and piefed can be deviated into being used as a single sub instance as an alternative but it's just not the same.

    Other than this, we are pretty fine with the basics, it would be nice to have more people working towards letting mods be mods with proper tools without involving CLI.

    Also some combo like local first acting as a PDS being able to be written by different softwares. (Basically atproto or solid yes)(yes silverpill and holos are working on this but 2 different people working on 2 different implementation of the hardest thing in the fedi doesn't seem optimal for a network made of devs lol)

  • Anyone with experience using anubis on their lemmy server, have a good config?

    Jump

  • Thread on /r/BuyFromEU about how to improve Lemmy

    Jump

  • I think people are retreating more and more into chat groups. Those people are not on reddit anymore, they are probably in discord related to certain products hobbies etc.

    I really wonder how long until we will start seeing the effects of not having more updated general knowledge in the public web, but oh well 🤷

    On a side note, after all, the web always had a bias and a lot of fields never had easily available public discussions...

  • [Help Design Lemmy] How to describe Lemmy in a single Sentence?

    Jump

  • I would rework the other stuff, like the whole branding because all that hacker green doesn't help in feeling the communities. And the images for the same reason... Also there are some features that are worthless listing like "you can have an avatar"

    Also the censorship thing...

    Let's say that the homepage kinda reflects the state of lemmy people as a group right now and it's not so nice imo

    Focussing on being a clean forum with nested answers and human curated algorithm and idk, just pointing some low hanging fruits

    On a side note I wonder if having the page as onboarding for users instead of explaining the software is the right target. Ideally it should be communities trying to outreach to have people on their servers, not the software asking to join people who use the software (?)

    But I digress.

    On a marketing level point of view, while we are clearly the small fish, it's not bad to leverage being enemies of Reddit. Like in the past we've seen much more Apple vs Microsoft while now they ignore each other.

    "Reddit if was not owned by venture capitalists who keep ruining your life" lol (too long)

    Anyway, is there any kind of data to know if people actually join lemmy by joinlemmy site?

    A community poll for Lemmy users would be good.

  • Featured

    List of RSS feeds distributed by each software on Fediverse

    Jump

  • Mastodon also got the rss for user's media, useful to follow artists

  • Not having admins spamming would already solve half of that issue lol

  • To use bonfire, to be even more local (me and the other admin actually live in the same province) and because apparently my social circles are too attached to telegram to post in the open web questions that they can make in our shared groups

    Oh and because the main community that should have moved changed idea, so no more being the focal point for political organization in the Italian landscape

    Also there is a bug in my ear that keeps repeating that we should just embrace this dark forest internet moment and hide in chat groups like everyone else

  • missing lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • AniSocial got the same issues as EuropePub: ton of noise, 0 purposes and discussion.

    Even just having the thread to discuss latest one piece chapter would be enough

    I made a telegram group to have similar results but it’s still a bit annoying that no one in the open social world wants to fight the trend of hiding into chat groups e-e

    Jump

  • yep, we have tons of news posting but few discussion i agree

  • Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse

    Other similar servers yes, more themed ones i don't think so...

    what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse

    Ye that's a problem. Marketing as in market of mental space not as in ''buy this one''

    someone jumped the gun on community creation

    Yep, exactly why i feel hesitant partecipating in some subs :o

    You are right that problably there is not enough interest, but not that someone shouldn't try anyway u.u

  • missing lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • Kinda agree but I’m not so sure about the egg or the chicken first

    Belonging is very important and there is clearly a dominant techie culture in generalistic instances right now

  • missing lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • slrpnk is a themed instance 😃 (also lemmini, even tho we may close it soon and then make a very local one)

    I made the list for “hey look there are opportunities if you want the threadiverse to shine”

    No pressure

  • missing lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • No but forums work (or don’t if not shared enough) because they have a purpose

    With too many generalistic instances you get:

    • login paralysis not knowing where to sign up
    • bad “””marketing””” because it’s harder to differentiate
    • kinda flat culture? I mean every generalistic instance right now it’s mostly techies…
    • centralization
    • lack of curation because no sense of ownership and belonging

    Lemmy federation improvement regarding names and communities

  • lightweight blog ?

    Jump

  • In order from little to bigger:

    • any ssg like Zola or pelican
    • mataroa.blog
    • writefreely
    • ghost
    • lemmy :)

  • Which non-US domain registrar to use?

    Jump

  • Gandi got sold 2 times

    Basically the company went from “no bullshit” to “just another asset for some capitalist fund who only cares about extracting as much value as possible”

    It would be so good to have a no profit owned or cooperative European domain seller

  • Looking for a good RSS Reader

    Jump

  • The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days

    I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works

    Has anyone been hosting Lemmy on yunohost for some time?

  • Using Rust since beginning of 2023

    Jump

  • just to be clear, i talked about ''symbols'' and not syntax because i understand that the expressiveness is a feature not an opinion in rust

    but having {} as code blocks instead of keywords is a choice, right?

    also the old thing that on non us keyboard { is harder than [ or ( and that it was an old choice dictated by the keyboards used when making unix or c i guess

    i don't mind syntax per se :)

  • Using Rust since beginning of 2023

    Jump

  • Are you talking about rust or toml? Because if rust, just out of curiosity, would you still like it with keywords instead of symbols?

  • Using Rust since beginning of 2023

    Jump

  • I’ll never understand how the rust community loves TOML (like me) but also loves Rust syntax (totally not like me)

    I feel like they are opposite: rust syntax is full of symbols, toml is super minimal and square parentheses are just less “noisy” than curly ones…

  • How specific communities should be?

    Jump

  • The broader you make a community, harder it will be to feel like you can make a very specific question and it will also be harder to find so we will never have niche content

    Pick your poison, I’d go for the slow but steady usefulness
