Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.

People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is… something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.

This is current problem in society that we don’t tolerate different opinion.

We learned to hate “algorithm” but those can actually be good if creator wants to help us insted of manipulate us.

Without a friendly algorithm to help us, we have no chance in finding our way around all this information around us.

I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.

I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn’t want me to read their article I will not do it.

But… they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.

Than there is problem with I don’t trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.

Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.

While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.

If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month… or a year).

I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.

Thank you for mentioning Pie Fed, I neverd heard of it until now, but looks great. Clean code, intro video for developers, db structure exolained. Really friendly for new contributors, quite refreshing.

If those options are functional, otherwise focus on making some of them functional.

I agree with all points, thanks for writting them down. Current UI is great for me.

even lemmynsfw defederated them, lol 🤣 why?

I donated 12 usd, to make it 1 usd per month, without even knowing I am so close to some real value.

It will be interesting in a year to see the costs instances have.

Recommendation from app developer is to use web interface until your instance uptates to 0.18, and probably to 0.18.1 since than will captcha be back.

They had to do it since they changed from using websockets to http calls in 0.18. Maybe downgrading is of jerboa is possible.

I think this kind of analysis can help a lot, sadly I don’t see anyone interacting on your post.

Please do keep pushing for it and writing down your discoveries and explanations might help others understand the importance.

Howto with real world data (like you are doing) is helping and is quite interesting.

Exactly, I don’t care about user count but posts and comments.

Looks like Reddit wants to become more like TikTok.

True, I also think lemmy is the main star of fediverse (peertube too) because they don’t need network effect qnd milions of users.

Problem with reddit is it got too big l, similar like youtube, it always recommending me videos with milions of views and I don’t like them - they are professionally done and trying to sell me something.

I just want to watch random people sharing their thoughts and hobbies.

Right now we don’t have that part of the internet, but looks like it is comming back.

Stack Overflow. It is such an obvious one that we are missing, different communities need q&a forum type of thing adding federation to it would be pretty nice.
