Wrong community?

I remember when imgur used to be good.

lemmy-ui actually groups them together. It all depends on the app / frontend implementation that you’re using.

actor_id is just the full url of an user. It has the username at the end. That’s why I have censored it.

In case anyone’s wondering this is what we instance admins can see in the database. In this case it’s an obvious example, but this can be used to detect patterns of vote manipulation.

No need to make all federation under a whitelist. It’s enough to ignore votes from suspicious instances or reduce their weight.

This. It’s only a matter of time until we can automatically detected vote manipulation. Furthermore, there’s a possibility that in future versions we can decrease the weight of votes coming from certain instances that might be suspicious.

There’s hundreds of different Lemmy instances. On which one did you try to sign up? Lemmy.world?

I don’t think my phone ever asked me about health data or religion. That’s why I find this so confusing.

How tf would a phone even have a way to provide that data to an app? Anyone know how exactly this works?

I only see *******

At this rate we’ll extinguish ourselves before Meta even gets to the third E.

That’s exactly my point. I myself don’t care but there’s people who get triggered about certain content on their ALL timelines.

My biggest problem is that lemmy posts with images don’t show up with images on Mastodon.

Excellent article and it’s of course a very serious concern regarding Meta’s Project 92.

I want to use this thread to share one other concern that I’ve seen coming up constantly on Mastodon: overzealous instance admins that take things personally.

“You said X about me, I’ll block your whole instance”.

“I don’t like a particular nuanced view that instance staff holds, #Fediblock now”.

“Users of X instance reported me. I’ll block the whole instance”.

A few of these things happened in the last couple of days. We can’t have instance admins defederating because of trivial petty stuff. The only thing this does is drive users to larger instances, among which there might be corporate interests.

Thank you very much <3

They’re not because you should assume that everything you say is public and can’t be deleted as a remote server may have a copy of what you said.

The key here is to not use identifiable information. Use a pseudonym.

Welcome! It’s pretty easy actually.

Everyone with a little bit of technical knowledge can set up their owner server, also called an “instance”.

Users sign up for a instance and get access to the communities created on the instance they signed up for but also to the communities of other servers because they can communicate with each other.

The big advantage is that it’s not a walled garden. Unlike reddit where one company controls everything, if someone here we’re to pull a “Spez” (what Reddit did) they would be laughed out of the room because each server is owned independently.

Currently there’s two popular softwares to run these servers: Lemmy and Kbin. But that’s just a program that server owners run. I believe there’s currently over 300 servers that are running one of these softwares to create this distributed social network.

I might be wrong, It’s not like measuring blood science is rocket science. You can have an analog bracelet and pump, or for cheap buy an electronic one that you can operate with a single button.

I’m sure this will have its uses for people who are on the go a lot, but measuring at home has always been an option. If anything the advantage here is to measure on the go.

It is useful but I don’t think they’re equivalents. There’s probably multiple technology subreddit alternatives that I enjoy, none of them being a sole replacement.
