Male 18-year-old FOSS and GNU/Linux activist and user
As many others have already said, Lemmy is fully indexable by search engines. In fact, in this very community there have been posts about Lemmy content being above other results from more prominent sites like Reddit for certain topics.
What? There is no “Fediverse objection” to indexing by search engines. Who told you that? Lemmy is actively being indexed and is showing up when you search for posts.
I don’t think that “live chat” is fitting for Lemmy. It is an aggregator in the first place. There are already other FOSS services for live chatting, such as Matrix. IMHO, adding such a feature to Lemmy would be out of the scope of the project and probably result in a bad and dysfunctional implementation.
P2P? How is that supposed to work? You cannot expect every user that uploads a video to even have remotely enough uptime for any arbitrary interested person to successfully watch their video
That would then mean that small instances would have to prove themselves before being accepted in the wider network of instances and just end up centralizing the fediverse.
Most of us want the Fediverse to eternally decentralise. Imho, this would be the optimal scenario. Whitelists would be a major obstacle to the décentralisation effort.
But if we want people on Lemmy who don’t know what Linux is, then we need to avoid that massive barrier of asking users to pick an instance. And the second massive barrier of registration applications.
How so? Those things do not have anything to do with each other. The concept of Lemmy instances can literally be explained in less than a minute.
I’d call that a win
Principally it is possible if you can iterate over all the posts and comments and inject them into the database of their new home.
I agree completely. Blocked the instance only now despite them becoming more and more annoying each month.
What a stupid line of argumentation. You will obviously always lose if you don’t push back
What do you mean by “extremists”? Not all issues, maybe even close to none, can actually have a reasonable moderate position. An example: If there are people who are in favour of abortion and people who want to outlaw abortion, a moderate position must necessarily not support full abortion rights and therefore is immoral. I think that we actually need more (good) extremism, because in many cases, a compromise is simply unacceptable.
Who says that Meta is not already harvesting our data? Lemmy really is about moving control out of corporate hands and decentralisation advantages, but profiling is insanely easy on the Fediverse, and it really cannot be different because of its inherent interconnectedness. It makes no sense to migrate from conventional social media to Fediverse equivalents if all one cares about is privacy.
A more powerful front page sorting algorithm that drives engagement in a more organic manner and that increases the exposure of users to content that they’re likely to interact with.
Where did you get that from? Why should Lemmy be hostile to that? We often get posts about donating to valuable projects and such.
