  • A platform for posting (or searching) user-created RSS feeds - Does this exist?

    Jump

  • I alluded in my post to why a blog would not work, but I will describe more clearly here:

    • if this is done via blog, the searchability issue is not addressed. I want it possible to search through all of these feeds
    • This creates large friction. I want it to be possible for the user to publish a feed without the complexity of hosting

  • While I love the idea, many RSS users may not use Lemmy, and I would not want to restrict the use of this to lemmy users only. But for now, this seems to be the best existing option. Thank you!

  • Developing a Lemmy client to have a Facebook-like experience? (Personal profile, groups, pages, etc)

  • My issue with Friendica is it consumes more resources, making it much more expensive to host, especially at scale.

  • Ideally, what would "discovery" look like on a social network?

  • It's sort of like creating your own hand-curated feed for other people to see

  • A unified fediverse search service would be awesome, and its something I may try to tackle in the future. Part of why I'm asking this question here!

  • If I'm in, let's say, memes@lemmy.world, I'd like to also have my feed show content from memes@fedia.io, or lemm.ee, or whatever other threadiverse instances that my chosen instance is federating with.

    When you say "feed" you mean your general news feed?

    What if I only liked memes from memes@fedia.com, and other meme communities were too normie or boring for me? You're going back to the issue with big tech social media, where they push on you what you didn't sign up for, and you don't necessarily like it!

    I'm not against a recommendation engine, but it needs to be a lot more intentional from the user, and more transparent. I really dislike the "were just gonna push content you didn't ask for here, but we think you'll like it!". No user choice, no transparency.

    Btw, you should look into Quiblr. It's a lemmy client that does sort of what you want. It has a built in recommendation engine, and it watches your engagement metrics to determine what you'll like more of. The only thing it may not have is recommending you communities that aren't visible to your instance (because no one on your instance follows it).

  • Yes, I was speaking about what would be ideal, and not what is possible today in the fediverse.

    A search service could solve this issue.

  • It's available? Where and how? Lemmy doesn't seem to have a solid search, although it does have something.

  • Uses for a SBC (When You Already Have an x86 Mini-PC?)

    Jump

  • Which x86 SBC is that? I'm interested!

  • How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy?

    Jump

  • If the community doesn't exist, have you tried creating one?

    If it does exist, have you tried posting there?

    Believe me or not that's how it starts.

  • Niche Communities won't be able to reach their true potential until lemmy adds a sort that takes engagement into account.

  • I haven't tried it, but I think it's on android. Might be a PWA, not sure.

  • Try Quiblr. It's a lemmy client with exactly the features you ask for. It checks your engagement, and filters and sorts your feed based on what it learned from your habits.

  • Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Your mental breakdown is reeking of self esteem issues. Go be a lunatic somewhere else and stop wasting my time.

  • Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I mean if a centralized social media is what you want just join threads and cut the chase. The complaint they made, bluesky's federation does not solve. It is only not apparent because they have only one instance right now, similar to threads and Twitter.

  • Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky

    Jump

  • Certainly some will say that, and even more would do if your environment is privileged (such as a safe neighborhood in the west or USA). You have to look at aggregate data, not anecdotes.

  • How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Which communities? I personally find most of my favorite communities to be better in lemmy than on Reddit, with a few exceptions.
