Previous comments are spot on.

One thing I would add is that Lemmy is a particularly sensitive case, because we really want to encourage activity and growth at this stage. It pains me when communities without much activity get a meme post or something that makes it into /all and the mods remove it for being off-topic.

Overly strict moderation is one of the fastest ways to drive people away from a platform. Just follow your natural instincts and let people post what they want as long as it’s not harming anyone.

Wow, that’s a crazy experience. Somebody jumped in and saved you?

It seems they deleted their account. But yeah that thread was really funny, the responses were good too

ATProto is what Bluesky uses, right? It’d be nice if someone could give a quick summary of the features and what differentiates it compared to ActivityPub.

It seems like it would be a pretty big task to switch from ActivityPub, because each fediverse project would have to implement that independently.

I’ll never stop wondering why this guy was trying to not poop for 3 days.

That mystery still keeps me up at night sometimes. Looks like that account got deleted so it will probably remain unanswered.

Lol damn that’s a heck of a hike. They also have other stickers that say “This hiker climbed Mt. Washington”. Much more impressive.

The wind gusts on that mountain are pretty crazy.

I was only making a joke…

It’s all about the marketing. They probably wanted German audiences to know its a romantic comedy and not just an action movie

That one. Glen Powell actually showed some serious acting chops in that movie, I really enjoyed it.

DM me, I’ll hook you up 😇

I got you

Idk if admins need to manually approve registration applications for Mbin. Many smaller Lemmy instances are set up that way, so it may also be the case for Mbin.

Regardless, whether the registration is reviewed manually or automatically, the admin is the one who will be able to help you.

Water? On cereal? God help us

This guy mosquitoes.

Mama we made it

Interesting to see Lemmy from the perspective of a Mastodon user. I never used Twitter and I have no interest in Mastodon, but it certainly seems like a tremendous advantage to be able to cross pollinate with them, given their sizeable userbase. There is definitely more work to be done on streamlining federation between platforms, but its an inherently tricky problem so I’m not surprised.

Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin are still at the stage where they are trying to complete their own core features, so there hasn’t been as much focus on bridging to the rest of the fediverse. Mastodon is a more mature software so they probably had more time to work on extra features like cross-platform federation.

A) It’s not literally every post

B) Stop using reddit. Problem solved.

I was going to edit my previous comment but I’ll just put it here.

I understand your point, but I’m saying that private/public is not a binary concept. It’s a spectrum, and making votes visible on the Lemmy UI shifts the position much closer to the public side. It will have a noticeable effect on people’s behavior.

But I agree that it’s probably possible to correlate the voting profiles in theory. Could potentially be prevented by randomizing the profile for each vote maybe.

You should check out the PieFed concept that I linked. That seems to provide a layer of privacy managed by the local instance admin. I’m curious if you can see any obvious way it might be bypassed or exploited, because I know you have a greater technical acumen than myself.
