It doesnt have to be a federated “wikipedia” it can be a federated wiki. Look at the fandom controversy right now where a bunch of games are now moving to their own wikis. A federated wiki software would let all those game wiki host their own wikis but still contribute to eachother without making an account on each wiki.

I want to subscribe to the minecraft and the terraria wikis from my garrys mod wiki account to get notifications on new pages and i want to contribute to them without making an account on each. Federated wikis would be cool

Also i DEFINITELY want a full fledged wiki page available on lemmy so each community can have a wiki with multiple pages and nice linking and a WYSISWYG editor like wikipedia

Because it is new probably. Why do you use Imgur? You can upload pictures to comments

Marketing Company Claims That It Actually Is Listening to Your Phone and Smart Speakers to Target Ads (www.404media.co)

A marketing team within media giant Cox Media Group (CMG) claims it has the capability to listen to ambient conversations of consumers through embedded microphones in smartphones, smart TVs, and other devices to gather data and use it to target ads, according to a review of CMG marketing materials by 404 Media and details from a...

What phone do you hve? What computer? What shoes? What milk do you buy? Ads dont work by showing up and making you go buy it like a drone. You see the ads a thousand times and then you start believing its better than other products

If someone calls you and theres a missed call notification can they just click it to call back without unlocking the phone?

Oh i didnt notice they went through other apps. Maybe they were watching you and saw you input your pin and then stole it and checked your stuff to see if they can get something useful and then returned it?

New extensions you’ll love now available on Firefox for Android (blog.mozilla.org)

Today, Mozilla announced more than 450 new extensions (software that adds new features or functionality to the browser) to users on Firefox for Android at Mozilla’s AMO Android page. This milestone marks the launch of a new open extension ecosystem on mobile where developers are now free to create and publish extensions and...

Can someone test this extension i dont have android but curious to know if it works on mobile. It lets your see Lemmy comments on any website …mozilla.org/…/reddit-comments-for-youtube/

:( wonder what makes that possible

Its not personalized though it’s a list of news websites they chose instead of content based on your follow and likes.

Doesnt seem to be active yet, looks like that feature is still closed beta.

I really hope they include an option to customize the For You feed. I don’t want pure recommendations I want a chronological feed with every 3rd post be a recommended one. I don’t understand how zero platforms/apps have a merged feed to have the best of both in one feed

They’re working on what? Codeberg comments on fdroid?

Really glad they’re making an official app. Interested in seeing what the potential redesign will look like.

As weird as it might sound I want to join an instance thats focused on or only short form content. I love getting Blender tutorials on tiktok and them being straight to the point with no intro/outro, like and subscribe, memes, etc. Which youtubers use so videos can have midroll ads and longer watch times. Blender tutorials on TikTok are just a minute or two explaining the cool feature or trick in blender and its done and then a video reply to a comment asking to get more in depth about a specific node or segment.

His first post was him saying someone looks like a monkey which looking at his account seems like got deleted. Easy block

Oh, so is the progress bar just an image or is it code that can update the progress based on the manually inputted values?

Seems like something that could be automated using SVGs

Thats awesome! it would be great if you could make a post about it so instance admins would be aware of it and know they can implement it on their homepage so users can ensure their instance is sustainably funded

This is my most wanted feature but sadly it’s not a thing yet. Maybe until lemmy introduces it, apps can implement rss since rss works on threads out of the box iirc

How did Lemmy World become the default instance?

World was already the biggest by far when I first started lurking back in July, and it’s just getting more dominant. Before, there was quite some diversity in the distribution of generic communities, but nowadays the vast majority of posts that reach the top are from over there....

Apple Music isnt much better and giving even more power to such a huge corporation sucks. Regardless though, there’s this thing thats been understood with services/products where most people don’t switch unless the competition is 10x better.

Why would collateral be required? You don’t need collateral for books and people who need to borrow tools might not have stuff to leave as collateral

Other than that, cool idea!

Updated the OP to include a description of the extension. I want to be able to browse Lemmy threads/comments on any YouTube video (ideally any website). The extension in the picture is called Reddit comments for youtube and it shows you the comments of threads that have the same link of the youtube video you’re on

nix,
@nix@merv.news avatar

When you’re on YouTube/piped it automatically embeds the comments under the description. I think it’s obvious why that’s better than manually searching all of lemmy for each thread that has the same link

nix,
@nix@merv.news avatar

Because I don’t have time to learn to code. I can donate some money

Its not working on a project “for me” or “for nothing” its for the lemmy/fediverse community as a whole. Like every other lemmy open source extension, most clients, lemmy itself.

After some searching it looks like Lemmy api info is here join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/04-api.html

Someone also shared an api login script here lemmy.world/post/1179663

And a php api with some documentation as well github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyApi

Here’s the source code for the reddit for youtube extension github.com/Xyl-AU/Reddit-Comments-for-YouTube

The developer said they don’t have much time so they’re not sure they can do it for now but they’ll try to when they have free time and that if anyone sends a PR they’ll merge it. github.com/Xyl-AU/…/2#issuecomment-1811783026

The extension is to embed reddit/lemmy comments on a youtube video

nix,
@nix@merv.news avatar

Why would I want to see lemmy comments on a video instead of youtube comments? Because the quality of lemmy comments are way better?

nix,
@nix@merv.news avatar

I dont think you’re understanding what the post is about. Try looking at the extension. Its to replace youtube comments with Lemmy comments

The developer added Lemmy compatibility :)

cover reveal for solarpunk mystery novel (slrpnk.net)

I’m dancing-on-photons happy to reveal the cover by Rita Fei for my upcoming solarpunk novel, Murder in the Tool Library. You can pre-order it on this site as well as on some more mainstream ones. The paperbook will be available on Barnes and Noble closer to the release date on Dec 8th.

Looks great! What does Murder in the Tool Library mean?

What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

Up: more people should read this

I doubt thats the only video. My entire feed is 80% videos about israel committing war crimes, history of palestine, how israel is funded by the US for its interests in the middle east and to build a canal to no longer rely on egypt

Still sucks you will need a phone number to use it though. Hopefully they adopt meshnet type technology similar to berty.tech so people can communicate even when the internet is shut off across all platforms with end to end encryption

This is definitely an issue with AI and is why it shouldn’t be used to replace people.

The real value of AI in my opinion is for a non coder like myself to be able to use it to quickly create a blender addon in python to help me do small things like delete keyframes on every other frame or add a button to the ui that automatically adds a shrinkwrap modifier to the object I have selected. Small things that are really convenient to have but not worth the effort of learning python and the blender codebase to do.

I havent noticed any liberapay support on peertube channels. I can’t find any information on liberapay on peertube either, could you share some links?
