  • Does #hashtags works on Lemmy or other Fediverse socials?

    Jump

  • Sort-of-not-really for Lemmy. Posts you make show up in the Fediverse with a hashtag set to the community name, e.g. my posts in !loops@midwest.social show up on Mastodon under the #loops hashtag. You can't really follow or interact with hashtags from Lemmy, though 1.0 is bringing some ability to tag things, so maybe it'll start working better? You can also somehow post from Mastodon using tags so that it shows up in a Lemmy community, but I don't see people using that too often.

  • You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.

  • The userbase is small enough that hashing would be easy cracked by a determined person. Even with salting, iterating through the entire userbase and hashing each username+salt to check for a match would probably not take long

  • Do you consider the right to be forgotten a human right? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • It's too broad of a question. The right to be forgotten in the sense of "Google can't data-mine the shit out of you and track your poop schedule", yes. In the sense of "Musk wants to delete videos of him doing a Nazi salute because he's facing the consequences for being a piece of shit", no. A better term might be a "right to privacy", which gets less applicable as you become more of a public figure or affect the public at large.

  • hexbear.net comically loses its domain name

  • Over on the linked page? They've got custom "emojis", which are just pictures uploaded by an admin. Lemmy has that feature in general, but it's not used much on other instances. If it's enabled on your instance, you can type : to select from all regular emojis plus custom ones.

  • Tumblr to join fediverse

  • Tumblr doesn't really strike me as leftist, so much as having a low signal:noise ratio

  • DNS is neoliberalism incarnate 😂

    DNS is the most neoliberal shit system that too many have just accepted as how computers work and always worked to the point where I have heard actual landlord arguments deployed to defend it

  • Are there any Reddit level shitposts here on Lemmy?

  • There was also something recently about potash that I never looked into but was wondering what it's all about

  • US Lemmings: I need help selling my car and I have no idea what I am doing anymore.

    Thoughts on bringing sportbots.xyz to Lemmy?

  • I think there has to be some level of curation. I set up a queue to post loops to !loops@midwest.social, but I didn't just write a script that posts everything. I use Loops myself and add things I think are interesting to the queue to be posted. It's a lot of manual work, but I'm happy to do it for now to help grow the Fediverse, and I enjoy watching the loops anyways.

    You could accomplish this with more automatic curation, such as automatically reposting stuff that's highly upvoted or has some other signal that it's interesting. I didn't do that for Loops because there's a lot of stuff that's highly-upvoted and is just stuff scraped from TikTok and I don't care for those. I would probably use this approach if I didn't want to wade through myself to find signal.

  • Musk threatens to fire federal employees who leak information during DOGE purge

  • Ken Martin is the establishment and is not going to change anything about the grift. The DNC is a lost cause.

  • Is catbox down?

  • Seems to be working fine for me

  • It wouldn't surprise me at all. Pixelfed got mainstream notice, and there's always someone willing to give you money. Pretty much every popular Firefox/Chrome addon developer gets emails about buying it, but those are usually just shady companies looking to push malware onto the existing install base.

    Even apart from those, it wouldn't really surprise me to see some VC interest when Pixelfed hit #1 on the play store. They love the idea of glomming onto something that looks like a rocket and trying to ride it to the moon

  • Looks like skeleton code to me? I don't see how that could be what the site/app are running on

  • It does technically federate a little, @dansup@loops.video exists. Not real federation, but I enjoy being technically correct 🤓 I do wish dansup open sourced it already so people could get a better picture of what's going on with it, but he did say he's actively working on federation this weekend.

    It does allow third party apps like Loopy, where are you seeing that it doesn't?

  • Is there a counter like this but for Fediverse projects?

  • Why does the Fediverse even matter?

    Jump

  • Some thoughts from this Loops user on why the Fediverse matters. I've seen some people push back on the idea of "It's like email, but for X", but that way of explaining it really makes sense to me.

    I agree with the thesis that centralization is bad. Centralization breeds concentration of power, and power corrupts, or something like that

  • In general, I think communities shouldn't splinter until there's a need. IMO both efforts should just use !fedigrow@lemm.ee, and title posts in a way that makes the distinction clear. They're both about growing the Fediverse in the end. If and when it becomes too much to keep in the same comm, then you'd split it up. That's just my opinion as an internet rando though 🤷
