Ye I was not finding it but it’s probably because maybe without federation the setting doesn’t pop up :)

Yes… But where u.u

In order from little to bigger:

• any ssg like Zola or pelican
• mataroa.blog
• writefreely
• ghost
• lemmy :)

Gandi got sold 2 times

Basically the company went from “no bullshit” to “just another asset for some capitalist fund who only cares about extracting as much value as possible”

It would be so good to have a no profit owned or cooperative European domain seller

Wow these were a lot of questions :D

Ahah, y e s

Thank you for the answers, I’ll avoid answering back to not make a mess u.u

I already hide them and my ego is already not touched by downvotes :P

I explained in another comment why I think they are deleterious nonetheless

It’s not about me, it’s about social dynamics :)

It expresses dissatisfaction with peoples cringe bad takes

I wish this was real. In those cases the right button should be the report button anyway…

Having one vote to incentivize hive mind and another to punish a different opinion is just much more polarizing than having just the incentive only

It’s not rare to see people downvoting someone who wants an honest discussion and bringing their ideas to the table. (to be clear I’m not talking about people wanting to justify their racism or shit like that lol)

everyone freaked out that the communist devs were controlling the narrative or some shit

I must have forgotten 🫨

Hi! As you might remember, i’ve been pushing for this platform for quite some time so i’ll just dump ideas in a pretty annoying way, hope you’ll spare me :3

• do you realize that the power of the threadiverse is that a forum can even fully exist alone and the federation between them is a plus while for microblogging it’s kinda a shit to not have the big reach? basically, are you going to bring lemmy in a ‘‘more forum’’ direction or a ‘‘more social’’ direction?
• will you ever take into consideration to eliminate downvotes? it’s clear that the reddit effect is already here and people are not incentivized to read the article and comment on point or discuss less agreable stuff just because posts gets downvoted?
• if on my instance downvotes are deactivated, do they still influence my home when I browse subs from other instances that have downvotes?
• more UI mod tools! they are never enough because a community manager has not to be also a sysadmin or a linux poweruser just to take care of the community; stuff like subscribing to blocklists and allowlists, stuff like deleting cached media and so on
• how is the plugin stuff going?
• wouldn’t it be better to drop the android client and the federated wiki to fully focus on making lemmy the best federated threadiverse software? now that nodebb has federation the competition is existent (mbin and piefed were never enough e.e) and other frontends are generally cooler (voyager basically brought me back on being active here)
• can we have a lemmy-first approach regarding comunication and contributions? basically i don’t want to make a github account to push some opinions and it seems like they kinda get ignored when on the lemmy community about lemmy
• ability to merge communities having them mirrored in a basic way i guess it’s already on his way
• would be cool to have tags/flairs but i understand that it is not easy (tags could also become a way to follow stuff on par with communities, with their pros and cons obv)
• would be cool to have lists to be able to browse lemmy from lemmy in a more rss way: for example there are communities i want to check once in a while but totally don’t want em in my home and having lists would help
• changing ‘‘favorite’’ posts into ‘‘bookmarks’’/‘‘saved’’
• would be cool to have the possibility to have a favorite users list to check what your friends are up to
• any other suggestion would basically be ‘‘can this thing that forums have also be ported to lemmy?’’, i just think that lemmy has to evolve into a forum first with a link aggregator ui; it’s kinda easy to use discourse as a bug tracker and feature request tracker for example (observation made because of the previous question of using lemmy instead of github for non code stuff)
• would be nice to have word filters and user notes
• also lobste.rs invite tree would be nice
• have you taken into account that maybe offering a service of lemmy hosting managed by you could help?
• dulcis in fundo, always about empowering non tech people, what about having lemmy on yunohost as one of the curated methods by the devs?

alright i think it’s enough lol; now one very big appreciation: thank you for the rss first approach, having rss for basically everything like it was on reddit (well still miss some query rss but i understand it’s harder to do) it’s really so fucking useful and cool and i really hope that lemmy will make niche communities shine again

but wakest was answering to that comment, so i think it’s right to not be federated on lemmy if the parent is not

The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days

I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works

Ok i took the time to write from my masto under that post and it did show also on Lemmy

I’d say it’s something about either lemmy.ml or mastodon.social or both

The mastodon instance I use is on 4.3.5, mastodon stable looks 4.3.6 and mastodon.social is on 4.4.0-nightly…

deleted by creator

I love software, it also works for me now :D

To not let this pass as a random problem of my instance, yesterday night i also did a test with opening the feed in the browser itself and also addind the feed to reeder (the ios app) without using freshrss

So i don’t think it was on my end, unless it was something bigger like routing (i did not try via vpn, didn’t think it was necessary)

I don’t force any user agent so idk which one is the default (it’s freshrss on Debian on a raspberry in my house)

Idk if this is still possible but 2 years ago I was blocked by a person that I was trying to mod and so the only thing I could do was deleting the whole convo+post lol (obviously they went on mastodon to shit-talk the whole server)

Try to be informed about the stuff you can have an impact on

For example on my rss feed I just wiped out most of the non EU stuff. It’s ok to know that there are wildfires somewhere in the world but being overexposed is really just toxic

I can organize here in Italy, not even the whole of it but my region and the cities I spend time in. It’s much better to know what my little city council is discussing about rather than any even major event but so far from me.

Unluckily, social media doesn’t help too much with curating the feeds but as others said try to work more on mutes and filters. Don’t forget that getting informed is just one tool for change, do not get too high on it :)

Edit and P.S. : it’s also much easier that on social networks driven by engagement algorithms the posts that travel the most are the ones that cause hate/rage and sex or generally emotions easier to exploit online. Newspapers themselves tend to post more negative stuff. It’s just a human bias, take it into account and watch around yourself to find the positive stuff of life

Just avoid following climate and collapse x)

I myself do not follow them lol

yes, hence why i used a dot before it. i guess it’s not clear and i should edit

tell me if it’s better now :)

After the API exodus sure got worse but I don’t see much difference from the reddit-before-that

Also, there are still a looot of power users still on reddit. So yes quality got worse there but it’s not like the bests came here anyway

Sad tho.
