Every time I try to access this community, ther’s some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it’s almost all orange/red. The problem aren’t DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don’t you move this community to a different server instance? I’m...
Because you could go to another instance and the people who like it here would stay on this instance. You sound like you have an agenda but none of us have slightest idea of what that would be.
DEF CON Infosec super-band the Cult of the Dead Cow has released Veilid (pronounced vay-lid), an open source project applications can use to connect up clients and transfer information in a peer-to-peer decentralized manner....
What I don’t understand about these projects is why can’t we both have them and protect the children (child porn, child trafficking, etc.)? Is there a way to self police like the fediverse is starting to do by kicking those people out of the instance or no one will connect with them? I would love the privacy from corporations, not places where really shitty people can do really shitty things.
Oh boy, the next few months are going to get exciting.
Initially, the government also claimed that another reason to keep the warrant a secret from Trump was the risk that he might flee the country, but the government later retracted that reason, saying it had been mistakenly included. Tellingly, the court agreed with this reason, as well, before the prosecutors retracted it as a mistake.
Oh for sure, but if the judge thinks it’s a possibility he could flee, that’s interesting to me. I hope Smith gets that January court date and we’ll know soon enough if he evades his secret service, lol.
I’m sorry, I’m not really understanding since I’m not techy. Are you saying it counts how many are added or removed, not the total amount? I don’t understand the difference or why that would be easier to pull info from.
Getting the total number of all comments may be very resource heavy if there is a lot of comments.
Fourth paragraph:
It’s way faster if instead of all of that, the computer kept track of a number of all comments and simply adjust it when comment is added or removed. It does not have to get all the comments and count how many are there, just simply return the number and you are done.
Okay, I swear I almost have it. Where does the stock number come from? Does it regularly pull a number instead of counting, is that the difference? I think what you’re saying is, instead of it checking live, it has a total number taken every so often. Yes?
Edit: Okay I get it, except for where my initial count comes from. I guess it starts at 0?
First way, constantly checking the number of comments and just goes off of that.
Second way, stores the number 0 at first and then only updates when a comment is added or removed.
Am I ready for my certificate yet? Yikes. Thanks for going slow, lol.
So each instance within the fediverse can communicate with each other, but how do things like the feeds work? Since there’s no algorithm is everything from Lemmy.world only going to show up on the popular feed (if I’m on that instance) or can other things like lemmy.ee or whatever also show up?
There is an algorithm and they’re adjusting it to try and keep it interesting currently. It depends on whether the instance had contacted the other instance (through a search) or not as to whether they show up on the front page. Also, each instance owner says what to seed their front page with, that’s why lemmy.world probably looks different than a niche instance. Someone just explained this to me.
And can I comment on posts from a different instance or does that vary per instance?
It varies between lemmy vs mastodon vs kbin, etc. Each one reads and expresses their info differently.
Sorry, last one. I noticed there are things like music streaming and video sharing instances within the fediverse, so could Lemmy theoretically allow content from those instances to be cross-posted here?
Yes but I think there are people who have to develop it. Someone more knowledgeable has to answer this one.
Basically to me this feels like a super modular super media platform that has tons of parts that can plop in and out of the system as needed.
I think you’re right but basically it’s all in the beginning stages, volunteers coding it, and they’re still putting out fires from the reddit migration. It will take a bit.
So I mean, most of us knew this beforehand and being on the fediverse we probably do not really care, but what was always on the horizon has no happened, the owner of Squabblr finally had enough having to be a decent person and has decided that his site is now “free speech purism”, so he gets to continue to insult LGBTQ...
Probably not, because it’s not explained that succinctly on the front page. That’s why we all help others come here and get people to join the way I did.
High winds from a hurricane fed fires in Maui, HI. A fire swept through Lahaina Town. Once the capital of Hawaii this place was really popular with tourists and locals. I can’t believe the amount of destruction that happened in less than 12 hours.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately , but money does not make any sense , it is just an ideology or an idea in a paper form and still we value everything in form of that idea!
I’m on Lemmy world laptop and I wondered if that was an issue. See if this works, look at the bottom of the about section of the community you’re in. That’s how it is on Liftoff. You have to look for it though.
Apple acts really shady with small business people, I have direct experience with this. I trust the little guy. I’m sure if they lose in court, they would count it as paying for it to begin with. They’re taking a chance and may or may not “win.” How many other people are they doing this to?
The first half of the article completely lost me but then I understood in the second half. It’s a movement and it will only get better and I like it more than reddit already.
Mastodon, Lemmy and their many peers are all uniquely part of the same interoperable network of loosely coordinated builders, intrinsically motivated by the daily experiencing of their self-made spaces. Far better than your regular social-engagement network, the fediverse is a movement. And unlike the walled silos whose only metrics are captive users & clicks, the success of a movement is measured in its ability to inspire change and drive coordinated action.
Communities on different instances about the same topic should have the option to essentially federate so a post on one appears on all of them and opening any of them shows you the comments from all of them. This way when lemmy.world is down its not a big deal because posting to any news community federates to all of the...
I asked the Lemmy devs about multi-reddits type subscribing and they said that it’s on their list but they need help developing it because they have a huge list. I like the multiereddits way because then the user decides and there isn’t extra mods (managers) sprinkled in.
I’ve been trying to find a smaller instance and I tried a couple, they see waaaaaay different things. I can’t even see lemmy.world on one of them. I might have to keep all of the instances and just jump around.
That makes sense, thanks for explaining. I couldn’t find a lot of instances in their search though either. Can the instance person make it so they have to approve each instance or something? This is a very simple one and I can’t believe they would be defederated.
That is great information, thank you for explaining it to me. That explains why I’ve had issues trying to find my favorite communities on the smaller instances. I think it’s misleading when they say that you can pick any instance then, it really matters for what kind of admin you get and what you can see overall. I can’t see world on this super small instance but I can see beehaw. On world, I can’t see beehaw but I can see everything else the small instance can’t. I’m starting to see why people are confused when they join if they join a small instance.
Yeah, that’s a nah from me for that very reason. Those people should be shouting that stuff in their bathroom, not in a place where others have to hear it.
I did that, that’s what I mean where it wouldn’t work. I’ve done it for tons of communities from world where they didn’t have it but it didn’t work on this small instance.
I tried 3 different ways and three different times for the search way thinking it was me. It has me confused too, my guess is that the admin didn’t want world clogging up their all page so they bounced it or something.
It’s not the fixing part, it’s the theory behind it. When the instance makes this a major selling point, it usually is trying to attract and actually attracts a certain crowd.

I think one of the issues at Reddit was that if you said thanks to someone or thought they had a good idea, it was bad reddiquette. Here that culture isn’t as prevalent and I it adds to the pleasantness. Maybe encourage meaningful thank yous or I agrees while adding on why you’re saying thank you or I agree instead of “K” or “same.” But don’t shit on people that do that in the future.
edit: really bad grammar fix, still not sure. lol.
I’ve always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I’m just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.
When I’ve tried it at home, I just slather it on all over it and maybe add some honey sometimes right before cooking. Then do a second coat witha brush 10 minutes in.

On the future of Lemmy vs reddit
Please indulge a few shower thoughts I had:...
Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites?
I’ve always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I’m just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.
A little history on Reddit. From the politics subreddit with just 85,678 users in 2008 to 500 million active users today. Lemmy/Kbin will follow the same path.
This is going to be a short and sweet little history of Reddit. Reddit was founded in 2005....
Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users (lemm.ee)
Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source
