The website is either brilliant or atrocious. No middle ground.

Have you read the docs? https://join-lemmy.org/docs/index.html

I do 🥺

Does that Late Show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver have a presence in the Fediverse?

https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/blob/main/recommended-instances.json

Probably a pull request on that

Isn’t Lemmy the perfect chance to create a non-toxic community?

All this said, there have also been some suggestions to make onboarding easier by directing new users to a hardcoded default instance. This may sound like a good idea at first but won’t work well in practice. Running such an instance would take significant time for administration and moderation, but we maintainers are already too busy. Besides it would be impossible to reach an agreement who this default instance should federate with or how exactly it should be moderated. So if you want to get nontechnical users to Lemmy, the solution is to link them directly to a specific instance based on their interests.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. Also people should get use to taking responsibility for their online experiences. Corporations have made people stupid to the point they reject autonomy.

As @[email protected] points out, it’s a different article, but the same subject matter. It’s not a duplicate post.

That was the one. Oh well, I’m outta ideas then. The Fediverse in general is a very trans safe community.

What about the one with that privacy community that got vetoed?

I really like this. This is how monetisation should work.

True, which is why so many instances employ the seeder things when starting out.

This one million times.

The “All” Feed Syndrome

Has anyone else noticed how painfully similar the “All” feed looks across different Lemmy instances? It’s like we’re browsing the same curated content, just with different window dressings. The posts, upvotes, and discussions feel increasingly uniform - a far cry from the diverse, decentralized dream we signed up for.

It’s called All for a reason?!

Live Video Chat should probably come from a dedicated app. Once the next generation of instant messenger is sorted out, video chat will probably quickly follow. I wouldn’t be surprised to see live streams become popular once Dansup implements it in loops.

Thanks for pointing this out. I’m guessing part of this is why so many messengers either create a new protocol or choose XMPP

Wall of text? I provided information requested and then went back and provided more information to clear up a claim I got wrong. Let’s not focus on how we get the information, but rather what the information is. If it’s not for you personally, just move on.

From what I’ve read, it’s been deemed quite expensive and so it’s not feasible within the current database design.

I feel like I’m wasting my time replying to all these because it seems you didn’t even take the time to read them yourself.

I’m here trying to learn about Delta Chat and why you think it’s a good app given the drawbacks of the approach they’ve taken. Over the years there’s been an incredible amount of messengers pop up, 90 million from Google alone and none have opted for SMTP. There’s surely a reason for that. From what I’ve learned, mostly thanks to Gemini, because holy fuck the Delta Chat website feels like something from 20 years ago and is purposely vague, the solution that Delta has gone for is just to add more layers. Again, something that the world has repeatedly opted against. I’m trying to understand why it’s considered a good idea in this case and why so many teams and startups have decided not to use this methodology until now?

Jesus Christ, being curious shouldn’t feel like a chore.
