  • Growing content diversity and entertainment on the fediverse - we can do it together!

    Jump

  • That's essentially what I was doing with the "Community Ambassador" feature on fediverser. They could define all types of RSS feeds as sources of content, and there is a button that lets them select and easily create posts on the Lemmy communities.

  • The problem with relying on bots for that is that if they post too much content they end overwhelming the members and bringing "organic" output down. Any bot would have to be set up so that it never gets to post more than any "real" member.

  • Don't think of these efforts as some form of central planning, but as a simple catalyst.

  • I've tried that with the "Community Ambassadors" idea where people could get content from different sources to help bring content to the curated communities on fediverser. It went largely ignored.

    I'm more than willing to try again, however I am tired of instance drama and the tribal mentality that makes people associate a community to "their" instance. So I am not interested in supporting this in any instance that does not have a specific topic or interest group behind.

  • I measured 107 Lemmy communities: if you post there, does anyone answer? Median 73.9% — and the data contradicted my own prediction

  • You did not need to disclose AI usage. The writing style sucks so bad, one can tell it's AI from the headline.

    Now, can you tell me why the person running you decided would be a good idea to have this type of analysis? Did they reveal their motivations behind these instructions?

  • [AI] vutuv - a Fediverse alternative to LinkedIn

    Jump

  • Of course it does. You just need to change your resume to say you are looking for a software architect position. Chances are you are going to end making even more money.

  • [AI] vutuv - a Fediverse alternative to LinkedIn

    Jump

  • Look, I really want LinkedIn to disappear. But please, please, please don't focus on building/porting another "platform" to ActivityPub. A client application that can interact with C2S servers would be a thousand more times more interesting, for users and companies alike.

    ActivityPub already has an API. Let's just use it.

  • Thank you! At least I don´t feel so alone now. :)

    we’re way past the point where reorganization into a structure like that is feasible

    I am still optimistic about it. It will be impossible to make one huge push in this direction, but slowly people will come to realize that this is the most sensible approach. For example, I've noticed that !nba@nba.space started to get more activity because !nba@lemmy.world is considering moving out of LW, but are spending a lot of time debating over a lateral move. If only they had accepted when I first invited them to join as mods from the topic-specific instance, this would've never been an issue.

  • Tips on getting started on a small instance?

    Jump

  • Look into tags.pub. You can follow hashtags and lets you find things according to the topics that interest them.

  • When will the Fediverse deal with the undisclosed self promo that is happening here, before it turns Piefed/Lemmy into sloppy spam links discussion platform?

    Jump

  • Vote it down and move on? Help fund the development of a client that can deal with these things for you? Run your own instance where you can set your own blockloats?

    You have agency. If something bothers you, take initiative instead of putting the responsibility.on others.

  • Beyond CAPTCHAs: How do we keep human‑pretending bots out of the fediverse?

    Jump

  • f AI gets to the point where it’s all pervasive (...) I’d honestly probably just stop participating socially in public internet spaces

    I think you are missing what I am trying to say: there is a significant probability we already are at this point, and I don't think we can beat this cat-and-mouse game. If you are serious about you mean, then the only reasonable course of action is to get out of the race entirely. If more people think like you, then the scale will tip even further in favor of the bots.

    All of this to say, if we are so AI averse that the mere possibility of having AI around should be enough for all of us to drop this whole thing here and go back to connection only in the physical world. In a way, I wouldn't be against the idea (maybe because I look at the internet as a source of utility and not to fulfill any emotional/social need) but on the other hand it would suck precisely because the internet can be quite useful as a tool, but its utility depends on having people around participating.

  • Survivorship bias. How do you guarantee that you don't have a few dozen accounts that were set up by a human who then collected the credentials and setup an automated OpenClaw-like thing system?

  • any suggestion for a mbin instance?

  • The source code is open and they are highly dependent on funding from users and NLNet. Lemmy's API is easy to replicate, so even if it's not so easy to say "just fork it", it would be pretty straightforward to have other projects implementing compatibility layers.

  • Should we move away from the question: "What do you want to do?"

    Jump

  • These siloed platforms are created to favor the companies, not the users. The web is open. We don't need one different browser to read long articles, write a trip blog, or to read movie reviews.

    The app-iification of the web is something that we should be eschewing away, not trying to replicate it because this generation grew up not knowing any better.

  • Discord Fediverse Bridge

    Jump

  • Well, yes, but a bridge to Discord could be bringing traffic from order of magnitude more people than we currently have, and we do not have the infrastructure for it yet.

  • Multidomain ActivtyPub Servers

    Jump

  • There is a fork called Incarnator which sees some occasional commits, but I think it's more of a maintenance project that an attempt to continue bringing innovation. I believe that my ADAPT project has learned all the lessons from Takahe and will manage to bring more exciting features.

    Jump

  • Short of pruning the data every once in a while (and losing all history) there is nothing that can be done to optimize it. It may work as a proof-of-concept or if you want to run on your own, but I really don't think it is a good idea to promote it.

  • Discord Fediverse Bridge

    Jump

  • The latter. Any instance that has at least one user following the bridge will have to process and store every message coming from the bridge discord room.
