If you’re here, there’s still hope for the internet
Don’t let it fall
That’s good, I didn’t know about that. Although the problem does still seem to exist with
different software
and different frontends
It is and search engines do treat them separately, which is problematic, as seeing the same content on multiple domains may be seen as spammy and lead to downranking.
https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search tried to fix this, but was put on hold due to some perf issues with a lemmy update.
Kagi recently added a fediverse filter, though I barely use it because there are rarely good results. Just isn’t much content worth searching on lemmy yet
I don’t know OP’s specific background but english is taught in most of the subcontinent and is the primary language for business and formal matters, so I wouldn’t expect any issues with it
I meant the cost per user. You can’t really compare total costs
It’s lower than every other number I’ve seen in this thread by far
that’s quite low. There must be a lot of barely active users
Reading still requires distributing media
It would just federate comments I think, you’d still need to go to the site for the media
yo, this is straight fire
who came up with this name, and why?
Is that table going under the sidebar and off the page for anyone else or just me? (on web)
This has got to be the slowest site I’ve ever visited. Gave up after it took a minute just to “build interface (100%)”. And that’s step 1 of 5!
One reason is reddit is still much lower in the public consciousness, compared to Instagram, which is effectively the biggest social media nowadays.
Wow this dweb is a whole rabbit hole
lemmy is pretty decent for reading long form content, haven’t found any good blog to test it with yet though
I wonder in enough platforms outside of mastodon decided to follow the spec instead of whatever mastodon does, maybe we could peer pressure it back into normalcy?
Stream’s discovery queue is a good counterexample: optional, doesn’t manipulate you or waste your time, and each item indicates why it’s been recommended (though in my case it all seems to be because they’re popular).
I may get flamed for this, but having having algorithmic recommendations would be good. The ones we’re used to suck because they’re designed to maximize metrics like engagement for advertisers, but it is entirely possible to have one that’s user focused and can be turned on/off as users wish. And it doesn’t have to be some super complicated thing out of the box
At most they suppress them, no shadowbanning. There’s a whole lemmy subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Lemmy/ and it gets mentioned on r/RedditAlternatives all the time
pretty brief paper though ngl, it doesn’t do much
