Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%
Isn’t the entire point of classic to get off p2w private servers that can and do just shut down randomly destroying your progress?
SOM servers seemed like an absolute godsend.
I’ve played since vanilla and even went back and did all of classic again when it first came out again a few years ago. My only private server experiences were not good by any means.
Is there something I’m missing or is it just about saving the monthly sub cost
Nobody is going to be able to give you a walkthrough in a post. There are a lot of concepts at play which are all going to require you get on google and start learning. You’ll inevitably run into issues that can be specifically asked about and answered but this is so general how would we even begin to give a walkthrough.
If I had to give a spot to start I’d say look into interacting with the apis (or any apis in general) first in your desired language and then figure out some things you can do with the data you’re getting back from the calls.
I guess maybe the thought with pip and npm is they’re very specialized and the others are much more general. Why bloat a package manager with repositories that many will never need when you can download a specialized one for a specific need. No reason to even have access to npm if you don’t code in js or same with pip and python.
That said a way to add those repositories to other package managers would be nice and maybe possible. I’ve never really researched it.
But it’s like anything else, get people into your ecosystem rather than someone else’s
Why do the people you grow up loving for their music make you hate them for their politics. It’s literally free for them all to just stfu
That makes sense if it were to become circular. The way I was thinking of it is like
B gets C’s content making C’s part of B’s. so because C’s is a part of B then A gets it.
But I guess C’s content isn’t really B’s its only there through federation? Trying to wrap my head around all this, appreciate the reply.
That’s a great article thanks for linking it.
I’m curious how many other tools have been silently killed like that or destroyed that we’ll never know about.
I’m still shocked about the mastodon integration… “free” services make users the product so how does allowing anyone without an account to interact with your platform make sense monetarily if you don’t have some nefarious long game in mind.
I lurked reddit for more than a decade and maybe posted 5 times. I hit that my first day here I think. Not sure what the difference is… I guess the smaller user base makes me feel like I can actually engage in a conversation with someone rather than just have my post disappear into the thousands already on a post
Yup all makes sense. Appreciate the insight into how things work.
I know its probably frustrating to have people come in and go “well reddit does XYZ” all the time, so its nice to get an explanation. Truthfully, I think a lot of us just needed a little kick start to get off that site to something new.
Itll take some time to get comfy and learn how it all works, but so far things seem great. Enjoy your day.
I guess maybe the way to think about it is that each instance is like a “mini reddit” with its own content, admins, mods, userbase etc.
You still have access through your instance to any others that exist and can participate in those others as well. But, your home base is where you registered. At least thats my understanding so far
They are gone, just like normal forums, except for copies stored in instances federated to yours.
So once an instance is federated by another, those posts also live in the 2nd instance as sort of a backup?
Part of what I enjoyed about reddit was that I could find things that are 10 years old with a quick google search and still expect them to be there 10 years from now. If all this can go away at any moment, it sort of just feels like a chat room or something. Im not saying that is a bad thing, it just makes it difficult to build long term communities and a strong user base long term if its possible.
Do most people browse within their “local” or “all?” When browsing “all” I see some duplicate content from communities in other instances which I guess is to be expected. Again, not a bad thing - but if I have to search 15 other “news” to see discussion on something I am interested in, isnt that kind of cumbersome?
Enjoying the site so far, dont take my comments as criticism. Just doing my best to learn how to use this type of site and get the most out of it I can. Appreciate the replies from you all.
Appreciate the post. A fellow refugee with some questions…
So I have chosen Lemmy.world. I know I can browse cross instance and post wherever but I have some confusion with this too.
Each instance will have its own let’s say “news.” Some will be more popular than others of course but will likely have similar content. I then sub to “news” on whatever instance. But there’s still hundreds of other “news” out there with potentially different, but likely similar content. Isn’t this fragmentation bad for community?
Also, let’s say I am in instance xyz and that’s where I’ve registered my account. All of a sudden the admins no longer want to run things and shut it down. All those communities are gone? What happens to my user account?
I think federated content is great, but this is my first interaction with a service using it. Please help me understand what this ultimately looks like long term.
Edit: sorry this triple posted. I kept getting errors so I hit submit again… and then again. Deleted the duplicates
Love that idea actually
