    My Deep Thoughts

    Jump
  • Sir, this is a Wendy’s

  • Is it full of spam because it’s unmoderated or is it just empty. If it’s just empty but has a good amount of subs just start posting. A lot of times the community can police itself and if you need a moderator if it becomes more active then reach out the the instance admins that the community is hosted on.

  • At least the mask is off. Apple, Google, Meta. None of them care about anything but profit and there isn’t a value they aren’t willing to compromise on if it makes the line go up.

  • If it weren’t for social media, humanity would find another technology to lie and manipulate people for money and power.

    Money and Power are what corrupts, not technology

  • Apollo was the best Reddit app on iPhone. Voyager continues its legacy

  • voyager is available as a web app if you’d rather use your browser vger.app

  • If people can’t understand what federation is then just send them directly to .world or lemm.ee or another big instance. If they have common sense then send them to join-lemmy and let them pick an instance. If someone is unable or unwilling to learn a very basic concept then they probably are not going to be a very good neighbor to have on the fediverse.

    I agree that the discoverability of communities needs improvement. I think that most instances should add starter pack like features with the most popular communities for people to choose to subscribe to when onboarding new users.

    In my opinion, finding the right and active communities to subscribe to is the biggest onboarding hurdle, not picking an instance. If picking an instance is a hurdle, that person wasn’t willing to try another site in the first place

  • If you are looking for an app, Voyager is the best in my opinion. It’s totally feature complete afaik

  • The people who aren’t here are making excuses to not be here. Otherwise they’d be here.

    That being said the feud between world and ml users is pretty noticeable

  • The fediverse is ran by volunteers. Engagement is organic and isn’t trying to sell you something. Everything you see is there because someone thought it was worth sharing

  • Really anything is better than the default UI. The default Lemmy-ui is functional but not elegant.

  • I can’t tell you how to on-boarding process is these days but the UX of using Lemmy via Voyager is even better than using Reddit. In fact Reddit killing Apollo (the app Voyager is based off of) is the whole reason I’m here

  • Likely yes, but everyone has a right to a trial by a jury of their peers and, who knows?

    Political discourse is really poor in this country and they need all 12 to convict.

  • !cfb@fanaticus.social is the more active ncaa football community, so if someone is looking for a replacement for /r/cfb I would direct them there

  • Facebook stole from sites without the means to defend themselves. Schwartz stole from an organization with the means to financially ruin him and lock him up.

    Sadly lady justice’s scales only tips for the side of money

  • On mastodon I follow a lot of hashtags and so I will mute foreign language accounts so they don’t show up in my home feed. Thankfully I’ve never had to block an entire instance but I chalk that up to troublesome instances already being defederated from my instance

  • Haven’t tried self hosting Pixelfed. Just mostly been trying it out on the main instance. I’m really shocked that it’s a mess to deploy with docker if it’s on PHP/Laravel.

    I hate PHP these days for dev purposes but I think laravel ought to be able to scale enough to run most Pixelfed instances. Facebook ran PHP when it was much larger than Pixelfed.

  • I pay for a YouTube premium family plan. It’s probably a rip off but my kids enjoy content on YouTube more than any other platform but YouTube is not safe for children with ads enabled (and YouTube kids is a joke)

    Soggy cereal made a video about how YouTube ads are unsafe a few weeks ago and that was exactly my experience before I started paying for yt premium, look that up if you are curious

  • The Pixelfed app isn’t very good right now compared to instagram was when it wasn’t terrible. Hope that Dan hires an actual UX designer to update the app with his kickstarter money. And that he can integrate loops with it as well.
