  • So is twitter not social media if you just use it to read hashtags, and get clarity and insight from the comments?

    Other social media sites can very much be topic centered

  • I would definitely call a forum or IRC channel social media.

    I wouldn't consider blogs social media unless they had a very active comments section.

  • I made this because I hate Instagram, but there's still lots of valid reasons to use it.

  • What would you define social media as?

    Oxford says.

    websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

    That definition certainly matches Lemmy.

  • I would like to add RSS, I don't think it's feasible https://cadence.moe/blog/2022-09-01-discontinuing-bibliogram

    A much-requested feature I added early on was RSS feeds. This ended up getting quickly turned off for the main instance, because RSS usage was dwarfing interactive usage. Many of these feeds had been added to people's readers and forgotten about. Even today I still receive a decent number of forgotten requests for feeds — these forgotten feeds haven't returned useful data for more than two years. Feed requests aren't free. Bibliogram needs to make an outgoing web request, wait for it, and convert the response data. This also uses up a piece of Bibliogram's rate limit to Instagram, even if nobody's there to see the feed that Bibliogram generates.

    I could add it, but have it disabled by default, so anyone hosting a personal instance can enable it.

  • I've already read that article, the situation on Instagram has changed a bit, which makes scraping easier.

    Ratelimits are still a problem if you don't have a residential IP, but I have a workaround for that (which I'm hesitant to share publicly).

  • ‘It’s such poor quality software’: GOG owner criticises Windows, says it will support Linux better in the future | VGC

  • I would really like GOG galaxy on linux because stardew valley requires either galaxy or steam to use the invite code system for multiplayer, and I bought the game through gog, so to use the invite thing I'd either have to use windows and gog galaxy, or buy the game on steam again.

  • There's another relay: https://atproto.africa/ .

    Relays don't index posts, they collect them from different servers, and provide a "firehouse" of events.

    You can crawl pdses directly, akin to the fediverse. AppViewLite does this (and is lightweight enough to run on a phone).

    You don't need a relay or appview with https://reddwarf.app/ .

    The fediverse also has relays.
