It seems interesting! But like, it’s $43 to get the URL to watch it on my computer?

Didn’t they have a fundraiser a few months ago where they got 130000 CAD? Not saying it’s wrong to have more fundraisers, but what happened with that?
Edit: it was pixelfed, not peertube

That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?

3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.

Is it not working well? What is it lacking?

If the money is freely given as a donation, then I’m with you. If lack of money is what is stopping someone from making things that others are willing to pay to see more of, then sure. But if the only way to do it is to have ads or selling our data etc, then I don’t want that.

I’d rather have one unix surrealism than a thousand influencers with lots of followers. These days, I want to be among people who interact as equals, who share ideas, who cooperate in a genuine way. If we try a shortcut to more users through money, what is the point?

Where does Honk fit into this? https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk

Isn’t this the dilemma? Each type of fediverse project has its own focus, presenting posts in different ways. If we increase interoperability to the point where everything can be presented fully on any service, will each service be able to keep their focus? Would there be a point in having pixelfed when mastodon exists?

How well do the hashtags work in practice on mastodon? Are they used as intended and actually useful?

They get an urge to install Linux on an old ThinkPad while wearing colourful long socks?

Glad midsommar! Hade ni något regn med?

thread as in threaded posts as opposed to other parts of the fediverse with another layout. it’s not about the instance Threads, but the type of fediverse service allowing a lemmy/kbin type of conversation.

The difference, and the best part of the fediverse imho, is that if you’re not happy with someone elses rules you can become your own admin and set your own rules. The more we centralize power the further we go against that idea.

Things you can do in finland: tango, fight with knives, computer stuff.

I couldn’t connect either on my phone, but after updating my browser it works.

It didn’t happen in one big exodus, no. But maybe in the future someone will find those old posts and decide to make a new post instead of just concluding there’s nothing and not doing anything.

There might be a significant number of users here waiting for everyone else to switch over to lemmy. If you start a niche community, it’s a little easier for someone else to be like “It’s kind of empty, but it exists on lemmy too.” What you need is a critical mass of people. It usually takes time and effort to reach that, and someone must be first.
