Not having admins spamming would already solve half of that issue lol

AniSocial got the same issues as EuropePub: ton of noise, 0 purposes and discussion.

Even just having the thread to discuss latest one piece chapter would be enough

I made a telegram group to have similar results but it’s still a bit annoying that no one in the open social world wants to fight the trend of hiding into chat groups e-e

Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse

Other similar servers yes, more themed ones i don’t think so…

what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse

Ye that’s a problem. Marketing as in market of mental space not as in ‘‘buy this one’’

someone jumped the gun on community creation

Yep, exactly why i feel hesitant partecipating in some subs :o

You are right that problably there is not enough interest, but not that someone shouldn’t try anyway u.u

Kinda agree but I’m not so sure about the egg or the chicken first

Belonging is very important and there is clearly a dominant techie culture in generalistic instances right now

slrpnk is a themed instance 😃 (also lemmini, even tho we may close it soon and then make a very local one)

I made the list for “hey look there are opportunities if you want the threadiverse to shine”

No pressure

No but forums work (or don’t if not shared enough) because they have a purpose

With too many generalistic instances you get:

• login paralysis not knowing where to sign up
• bad “””marketing””” because it’s harder to differentiate
• kinda flat culture? I mean every generalistic instance right now it’s mostly techies…
• centralization
• lack of curation because no sense of ownership and belonging

Yes… But where u.u

I’m gonna quote myself from another comment

In order from little to bigger:

• any ssg like Zola or Pelican
• mataroa.blog
• writefreely
• ghost
• gotosocial
• 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…

We can agree to disagree for the tweets but I’m not sure that I agree on the part about throwing a good organization built on solid principles because of one person tbh. Yes he is not a random employee but on the foundation board there are also people like Tim Berners Lee…

Ye and if they owned servers they would need to pay electricity and internet connections to some capitalistic operators

If they had even solar panels they’d still buy them from capitalistic companies

If they even owned solar panel production they’d still buy materials from capitalistic mines

If they’d also buy the mines they’d now need some form of army to defend them or they’d need to pay some capitalistic mercenaries company

You understand that we have to start somewhere, right?

the second they don’t have enough donations to pay the bills the messenger will seize working

It’s a bit like worrying about donations to Wikipedia or the internet archive honestly. They are so big that probably a lot of people would stop them from failing.
