Yeah that means PyLova copied a lot of features from PieFed lol, that’s how forking works.

It does suck if it’s not all compatible though, I hope that gets figured out

I’m looking at https://normals.me/communities

I noticed these aren’t communities in the Lemmy sense, I can’t follow them from here because they pull from multiple sources. So what happens if one of your users posts to them? Where does that post go? How can a Lemmy user see that post and comment on it? Some of these say “Mirror of <a Lemmy community>” so those make sense, but not all of them have it.

Also this post https://normals.me/c/technology/01a1d122-a483-79c4-8a4a-37322d775c14/postgresql-sees-new-releases-for-52-security-vulnerabilities-140-bug-fixes

Your website shows 0 comments and it says “View on lemmy.world”, when I view on lemmy.world there’s 1 comment.

That won’t work because casual users don’t want to do anything. The 90/9/1 rule says that 90% of users don’t want to do anything, every extra click required scares them away.

That’s a good example. Or another example, if the fuckcars community brigaded the cars community’s moderator voting and voted in the worst moderators lol

Don’t like the mods at World?

That’s admins not moderators. Admins are for instances, moderators are for communities.

Go make your own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers. But that’s not sufficient. It takes years to build up a community to have enough people for meaningful discussion to happen, and nearly all communities or instances fail.

Define “fail”? Niche communities will have a limited audience of course, but if the moderators of a big community suck then people will move. It doesn’t take years to saturate the Threadiverse audience, the people are either here or they aren’t, but the people that are here and interested will join your community pretty quickly.

Elections should happen on a schedule and, if a community is particularly upset with a mod, a vote of no confidence can be taken.

Voting is really not much different from moving to a different community. Vote with your feet.

Careful, you could get banned saying stuff like that around here!

I had to laugh when you mentioned Linux as if it’s a requirement to use the Fediverse. It’s funny how everyone here loves Linux (including me).

When you make a Mastodon post, put @berlin@feddit.org at the bottom and that will do what you want

If that happens then maybe its users will switch to Lemmy or PieFed when they realize it’s the same network

Even if it was completely vibecoded, who cares? It’s another funnel to bring people into the Fediverse. You don’t need to use it yourself, just be glad that there’s more ways to get people in here. It’s a different design with different UX, there’s always the chance that this will hook people who didn’t enjoy Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin/etc. The more the merrier.

Hello from RetroLemmy! Always fun to see a new platform join in

they could include the link preview data as part of the federation

For a community, we already have !fedigrow@lemmy.zip (for growing communities) and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com (for growing the Fediverse)

Also if we’re focusing on growing a specific community we should probably also try to let people outside of Lemmy know about it (Reddit/Discord/Twitter…)

I didn’t mean to suggest it would be the only point of backup. If you plug it in and it works then it saves a lot of time downloading from some off-site backup.

You could just use it as cold storage. Put a bunch of stuff on there as backup and then put it in a closet.

Lemmy eventually plans on having an invite system, you could maybe use that when it comes out

(You can also do this manually with the application questionnaire field and a spreadsheet)

meanwhile on the Dell website

EDIT: $100 of that difference comes from Win11 requiring an SSD upgrade from 512GB to 1TB

What they do care about though is algorithms and low barrier to entry - and neither need is fulfilled by the Fedi.

Well there is https://quiblr.com/

Not sure if something similar exists for microblogging platforms. I can’t believe someone hasn’t made a Mastodon app/frontend that does this, or a fork of Misskey/Sharkey with an algorithm built in. Are the microblogging platforms even trying to build features to bring in new users? Lol

!fedilytics@piefed.zip does posts for community growth
