I mean, it’s installed, I’m logged in, and notifications are enabled. I don’t actually watch anything with it tho; I watch on the browser where I have an adblocker.

To comment on the way the algorithm works:

So, I like Sam O’Nella. It’s not that I am not interested in the channel, the channel literally does not post for months at a time. Most of the channels I set up to notify me of new uploads are like this, hence why I’d like to be notified of new uploads. It should probably take shit like that into account.

It’s in the text body part of the post…

Don’t you hate it when you get push notifications for channels you subscribe to…

No. In fact, I hate that I never get push notifications about new uploads ever. Not to subscriptions or for things I have set to notify me. Shit even on the desktop site, I only ever end up having it show me new notifications after I’ve already found the new video “in the wild.”

The element of style is the most well read element.

The fediverse is more like the evolution of those old school forums, but diversified into more than just forums. Decentralized, user ran shit that could be a forum, a microblog, a YouTube alternative, a Discord/IRC alternative, an image host, etc. And then they could possibly share content with each other directly, but that’s kinda up to the individual app/site.

Barely any content is created on Reddit. It’s an aggregate site where 90% of the posts are links to other sites, just like Lemmy. Even most of the memes/image macros are unoriginal and taken from somewhere else.

Lemmy is as indexable as Reddit, if not more so.

Every forum I used before Reddit even existed is still active (hell, PHPBB was updated as recently as November!) and new platforms, like Lemmy, pop up all the time . IDK what the fuck these articles are talking about. Maybe they just don’t know how to actually find anything on the web? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I never really liked the microblog ecosystem in general, and some of these terrible design ideas are copied by the Twitter clones, such as how a conversation is presented in a way that is not actually in a chronological order making it hard to tell who is responding to what.

It feels like it wasn’t intended for actual engagement and discussion. It’s made so you can blast your thoughts out into the net and then get the feel good brain chemicals seeing a number next to it go up. We certainly didn’t need an entirely new system for that, since there was already plenty of places to say stupid shit and seek validation.

I up voted this from Lemmy, assuming it was posted from Mastodon so you tell me. (It shows 2 rn on my end)

If all they can get is an IP address I don’t know why they need this ruse or what good it would do. Very few people are going to be coming from an IP that resolves to their actual residency, even if they’re not using VPNs or proxies.

Perhaps two pigeons could carry the hard drive on a string. I’ve heard tell of swallows that have done this with coconuts.

Friends I know IRL: Thumbdrives.

Friends I only know via the Internet: Torrents or IRC filesharing.

Though knowing that a homing pigeon with a thumb drive is actually faster than the fastest Internet network on the planet, maybe I should simply invest in a coop and some pigeons. 🤔

This is a feature available on most apps for Lemmy I’ve tried.

It doesn’t have karma in the sense that there is a publicly displayed total of every post and comment you made so you can point at your profile and be like “look how much karma I have!”

The biggest issue with merging communities is how are rules and moderation handled? There’s no consensus on what the solution to that is.

Because “All” is everything, from every instance? You can already do what you want with “Local.”

Lemmy and Matrix. And I don’t use Matrix a helluva lot.

My media server is called “The_Nexus.”

My phone when I host anything on it is “The Hackinator 9000” because I think it would be funny for a normie to see and freak out.
