I really like Lemmy but it is true that it does have some issues attracting active contributors or commentators. I think some of this might be because it’s a little more explicitly political as a project. Some of it is because it’s newer I think. Some of it is because less people use stuff like reddit to begin with, so it’s kind of a niche audience.
There’s been issues with troll brigading in the past which I think makes the community a little more insular by default.
Ranger is great. Similar to Mc.
Also like warp door which basically is bookmarks for your file directory.
And jump is great it’s like a fuzzy finder for locations in your directory.
It’s for all generated art. So neural network stuff but also algorithmic, simulated, 3d, interactive installations, and electronic hardware stuff too!
Check out /c/techart if you like techart
True but what if I don’t want to mute them completely, I jist want to lower the torrent of posts?
I think opt-in algorithmic/viral design would be nice. Sometimes I like having a neural network tell me what posts I might be interested in.
A decade ago I was on rss feeds all the way. But over time I followed so many people it became very hard to get through all the content in a day. Having an algo help push stuff tk the top was a value add for me. Yes advertisers distort this stuff which is why it should be opt in and should have extensive levers for the user to control.
I think for federation to take off we need to figure out a more robust federated identity. Maybe something like Solid by Tim Berner-Lee?
I think discourse hubs is the mobile client though it’s pretty threadbare last I checked.
I think this problem with spam arises from the design of email as you indicate and I think it’s a pretty serious problem. Kids these days don’t use email and they use it less and less because in part messaging platforms have features that email doesn’t. Businesses turn increasingly towards things like slack for similar reasons. Want to hold a group conversation by email? It’s a mess. Maybe you don’t want to be part of the email chain. Too bad! You can’t leave someone clicking reply all.
Spam and the inability to really properly block is another issue.
Maybe friendica which is sorta like Facebook.
That has a Twitter layout.
Any cute cat communities you’d recommend?
Honestly don’t get why the devs don’t just write some bots to auto clone content from reddit.
Yeah I think lack of content and engagement is a problem.
I agree in many ways with the politics of the devs but I think it means that lemmy instances generally attract a pretty narrow range of people. Want to talk politics and tech? Lemmy isn’t bad. Want to see cute pictures of cats? Not much here.
I think it also doesn’t help that the native app for it isn’t great. I can’t get jerboa to login and lemmur has some seriosy ux issues.
What do you mean? Can you expand your question a little?
Important to distinguish between “do you own your body” and “ought you own your body?”.
Also “own” needs to be defined.
Plato thought that all apples got their essence from an eternal platonic magic Apple. I’d say he was pretty wrong on that.
he gets credit for being less wrong than Plato though.
What exactly is braxman? My dad started showing me his stuff and he struck me as a scammer.
