Oh neat!

I’ve done this with my pixelfed/Mastodon to post on lemmy for easier image hosting. I still can’t get over how cool it is that you can essentially “post to ‘reddit’ from your ‘twitter’ or ‘instagram’”

the Fediverse is fuckin neat lol

Thank you for the additional context, I’ve heard peoples criticisms of substack but hadn’t heard any of this additional info

Ghost still seems cool though :)

There’s a Foss dating app called alovoa, I think I saw something on the subreddit when I was taking a look at it again a while back about potentially implementing activitypub

Neat!! Thanks for sharing 😊

Works in brave too!

I use !gi a lot because brave image search sucks lol

That may be true but in practice adding friction to a given interaction makes it happen less, and that makes a big difference at scale. You don’t need to prevent anyone from doing it, you need to change the dynamics that result in it happening in a group large enough to cause a problem

If you put them up for sale somewhere I’d love to know about it!

Hope you have a lovely day ☺️

This might potentially be a worthwhile submission for the internet is beautiful comm :)

Just checked and the comm on .ee seems to be the only one really active

I mean I also hate generative ai, but the answer is because you can reformat it into a new potentially more useful interface for a given usecase 😅

An article and an interactive timeline are different things, and having access to both is neat.

I’ll probably stick to articles, at least in part because that works much better on mobile, but it’s still nice to get a visualized timeline you can move through, one key event at a time

Is that a sticker we can get? That looks dope

If you want to potentially sidestep some of people’s frustrations you might consider just using the credibility rating and focusing on whether a group provides factual reporting, rather than left or right of center

You can also create a user experience that more carefully manages expectations of the feature by having it be opt in, but presenting the option to users when it becomes available. That gives you the opportunity to give a short blurb acknowledging its imperfections and also highlighting its potential value

As someone fairly to the left wing myself, the fact that lemmy is so left wing is both a blessing and a curse. I don’t see Nazis around, but being in an echo chamber isn’t great for your ability to engage with perspectives other than your own, and makes you succeptible to narratives that reinforce your existing views regardless of whether they’re accurate

I’d love this feature, in spite of its flaws, but it does definitely have them. Its based on the US overton window, which will frustrate folks from other parts of the world who may already feel lemmy sometimes forgets the world beyond the US exists. And the US overton window is changing as a product of the trump administration which may warp mbfc results, which could honestly be really dangerous.

Focussing on the factuality and credibility might help you sidestep those problems and make a feature people would find less frustrating, potentially even to the point that you could make it opt out.

Generally I appreciate efforts to build healthier, less echo chambery discourse, thanks for the work you’re doing ❤️

Is he a creep because of the google data privacy stuff or something else?

Not quite the same thing but the thought that comes to mind-

I fondly remember this one day in particular from when I was working in a woodshop, it was cold out and the garage I worked out of wasn’t insulated. I was stopping to take my lunch break.

It was a stressful job, learning tons of new skills, many completely unrelated to woodworking, my boss wasn’t always pleasant to me, but this day I was content with myself, and I just remember drinking hot water with lemon juice out of my insulated water bottle, eating my ham and cheese sandwich, and watching the world out the open garage door as a song I loved by Emanicpator played from my phone speaker

And I just felt at peace with myself and the world. Content with the moment I was existing in.

It’s a feeling I reminisce about periodically. Sometimes I find that place, at the most trivial of times, and its kinda magical :)

Huh, that’s super cool!!

Thanks!

Fascinating… 😅

Thank you for the context!

What does being technological competent enough to use lemmy have to do with knowing about the fuckin maple syrup and batteries meme…? 😂

Op gave me context and now I feel like I need context for why you expect I’d have to be familiar with this specific nonesensical meme format based on being capable of using lemmy 😅

If anyone from lemmings.world could report this I’d appreciate it, I’m not exactly sure who reports go to, so I’m not sure if my report will end up in front of the mod of the instance this account is on

Can someone explain this to me?

What’s the baby oil about…? I’m very out of the loop lol
