No, but there will be recordings (ugh, hah). Actually had enough interest from those that missed it that I’m doing the session again tomorrow.

A single user Lemmy instance is pretty low overhead if you don’t mind the All feed being the same as your Subscriptions feed.

I’m betting on the Fediverse, just like I did on Reddit all those years ago.

But, you are currently in a hype machine since you are on Lemmy. As someone who develops with ActivityPub now, there is not a big market for it at the moment.

I expect it will grow, especially as identity management standardizes (I’m actually presenting about this at a conference a bit later today), but it will likely take time.

Is there any way to see older data?

Nothing specific, just knowledge from those closer, and not likely they’ll publicize ad spend, but uptick was seen. Bluesky ads started around April when they had the big influx after the first suspension. Overview, but not a reference: https://www.bbc.com/portuguese/articles/cm2nkdkypk7o

1. Is bigger than the rest.

Take Brazil. Blusky saw the writing on the wall with Twitter, so they threw a ton of money into media. Guess where everyone went.

Thunder 100%. Super active dev community, constant releases, and if there’s something that does cause a problem, post it as an issue and it typically gets resolved quickly.

SO is dancing around singing “Sunshine Toast!”. Must be a British thing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sunshine Toast: https://www.google.com/search?q=sunshine toast

13 million results. Your poll is flawed.

Well, this is an interesting new kind of ad.

Yea, another user has suggested passing along the request to other instances when API limits are hit. That sounds like a better model for SearXNG specifically.

Hah, could be.

This is close to what I was thinking, but rather than crawling independently, leverage the API results from queries to build a list of sites (and then perhaps crawl). Potentialy a tag index of sorts. I’m not solid on any idea as I haven’t investigated SearNGX enough to see how it works under the hood, but yes, on the same plane of thought.

Well, I am, including products in the Fediverse. And I never said federate the search queries.

Trying to build an index of the web by querying other search engines is not an efficient or sensible way to do things.

Never made this suggestion.

On the other hand a distributed web crawler that puts its results in a free and decentralized database

Now you’re getting there.

This is why I made Lemmy Post Purger (LPP).

Keeping messages is a recipe for backdoors. There’s a reason signal does not store DMs long term.

Highly unlikely, too generic.

This is interesting, but have you considered porting to Usenet? It’s basically a shared inbox thats whole intent is threaded conversation. Sound familiar?

Whenever I’m on a work call and mention something I found, I casually mention “on Lemmy.”

DIDs are a way.
