  • Interestingly each community shows up kind of like a user in Mastodon.

    I think hashtags should be communities but I can see from an ActivityPub POV that would be difficult to dynamically create. Worth while though.

    It also makes sense that a mastodon user should kind of look like a community or a maybe user in Lemmy but I personally don't like following people and much rather follow topics.

  • I think it is kind of a mistake that Lemmy tries to replicate or replace Reddit. If you want your "niche" content (which I can never figure out what people mean but this but I digress), it requires the network effect of Reddit. Reddit still exists and both Lemmy instances and Reddit are websites. You can easily have two tabs or like both apps on your phone so I'm not sure why it has to be all or nothing.

    I think a better use of Lemmy is to provide things that don't work and don't exist on Reddit. A good example is https://crazypeople.online/c/eternalplaylist where we post whatever we're listening to and then sometimes comment on what other people are rocking at the time. I started https://crazypeople.online/c/streamingmovies just to post whatever bullshit I'm watching, maybe if you stream something from https://fmhy.net/ post it and we can all watch it.

    I think the people using lemmy as a personal blog are more like what the platform excels at like https://lemmygrad.ml/c/spacedogschronicles and https://crazypeople.online/c/bitofarambler which became https://crazypeople.online/c/travel

    Lastly I think the real win for Lemmy as a whole would be to figure out how to better interact with other fedi software. Maybe turning mastodon and pixelfed tags into communities and figuring out how to better integrate there would provide more and interesting content but in a scenario i find much easier to follow than subscribe to poster type twitter style microblogging.

    TL;DR being Reddit 2 won't ever happen until Lemmy has a reason to exist that isn't being Reddit. Some people are building that and this is still early in the game.

  • They're websites, one can use two websites. Such a weird take.

  • You are insane dude, it is about another account. The admins are running this at their own cost for their own purposes. If you don't like it, set up your own instance. I used to run Vegan Theory Club and it got super annoying dealing with people like you so now I use my friends instance. No issues. We don't even have downvotes enabled here.

    Sounds like you have a problem that won't ever be resolved reasonably. You are upset that you don't have authority, too bad. Set up an instance and communities and do your own thing if that is what you want.

    Jump

  • I'm still not seeing the insane levels of power. You can just make another account on another instance or launch your own on your own computer. If you're worried about .world there are entire Lemmy bubbles that don't interact with .world at all like Hexbear even if you were to not have access to communities on lemmy.world any more. In all cases on the internet someone needs to have the administrative power but it isn't insane, it is over a resource that person literally pays for and all their actions are documented in clear text on the modlog which also federates. There is no shadowbanning or anything else like that.

  • What light-hearted communities do you enjoy here on Lemmy?

  • How is that insane levels of power? They don't want you sending messages to their server instance they own and pay for. It only effects other people on Lemmy.zip and the only effect on you is that you can't interact with the communities hosted there. You're still free to participate and use communities on any other instance. Lemmy is not a centralized service like reddit. It is a web of small instances and you send email like messages in the activitypub format to each one. If you have a shitty opinion and someone who owns and pays for a server doesn't want your shitty opinion to contaminate their server, that is their right.

  • Today in “Google Broke Email”

    Jump

  • "Google removes functionality from their email client" not "Google broke email"

    Just use a real email client or roundcube if yo u want a web client. Trusting google for your business is an obviously bad decision.

  • TIL 95% of Americans don't get the minimum recommended amount of fiber

    Jump

  • except they aren't gatekeeping fiber, iceberg lettuce doesn't have a significant amount of fiber in it at all. In fact, it has a similar amount of fiber as french fries. To meet fiber goals you really need to be eating beans and whole grains.
