Either marketing itself, i.e. make the company seem more approachable by openly asking for feedback, but then mostly ignoring it. Or genuine attempt at optimising their process to improve customer satisfaction.

It’s difficult and painful. You will feel lonely many days, but can’t act upon it because you promised yourself to someone else.

Think how long you will be long distance. Do you really want to live like this for that long?

He was the former building manager, but retired and still lived in the same building complex.

He would simply stand at his window facing one of the entrances to the complex every day when it was warm enough and angrily shout nonsensical things at anyone passing through. Fun times, luckily I lived there only for a year.

I always thought content warnings in mastodon were implemented by abusing some title field of activitiypub. Wouldn’t Lemmy use that same title field for storing post titles?

I think that’s a Lemmy problem not a jerboa problem. I get the same issue on the mobile web interface sometimes. Interestingly, at least once posts of a community that was “pending” still appeared in my “subscribed” feed.

Still the same thing. The law may see value in the curation of content that Reddit provides, even though they don’t produce the content themselves. But if that is an issue is something only a lawyer can tell you.

If you automate it, you are possibly taking some risk: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/179700

Thanks for diving into the details!

I saw you locked one off-topic post. It would be nice if you would also add a comment to such posts why it was locked. Otherwise if people randomly stumble upon such posts, it may leave the impression that the mods ban random things.

It may happen that the computational power required to run Lemmy increases superlinearly in the number of users. Then the amount that each user needs to donate would increase as well. But I’d expect if every user donates a euro a year, then server costs should be covered in any case.

Maybe someone on !main@lemmy.ca can help? It’s a general community for Canada.

This about formula 1? If yes you may wanna try !formula1@lemmy.ml, or make a general racing community yourself 😉

Recently found litterboxcomics. Works best if you are a parent.

That is a great approach! I think if you manage to set it up yourself, the project may benefit from a pull request with a dev setup guide 😉

If you want to start contributing to a complex open source project, there are different approaches depending on how well prepared the project is for new contributors.

Some projects label some issues as “good first issue.” If you find those, go ahead and comment into the issue that you are interested in resolving it. It helps to discuss first what you want to change, and especially ask if the issue is still relevant and the text in the issue still up to date. You may then even get some help and some pointers what to watch out for when implementing, which help you understand the code better.

If there are no such issues but you have some ideas anyways, you could create an issue and discuss the idea.

If you don’t have any own ideas, you can make an issue asking what issues are good for first timers.

But in the end, always communicate, and sometimes also don’t fear to create a prototype if the community around a project does not seem to know well what they want for certain issues.

Twitter is interesting when you follow people that are central to something, who keep their feeds clean. For example, someone posting about their three different hobbies and their job and family is very annoying if you are only interested in one of that.

Twitter alleviates that a bit by promoting posts that they classify as “interesting”, which I think are those that get a lot of interaction. Maybe also other things. This way, you can follow a heap of people but you will see updates from the more interesting ones first.

Mastodon on the other hand just gives you a raw stream. Which is pretty boring because people tend to talk about all kinds of topics, and only few actually curate their content. And even if you follow just the curated content, it is very easy to miss some interesting stuff if you happen to not read every single post in your timeline.

Mastodon alleviates that by boosting, which puts a pushes a post on top of your timeline again. But then you only see it if you are looking at the timeline while someone is boosting. There is also some sort of a trending page being developed on there, but it is only for posts that get boosted at least five times or so, and it is not necessarily related to your interests. A bit like Reddits “all” community.

Reddit and Lemmy seem to combine the best of both worlds. Posts are sorted into communities that revolve around certain topics. So you can choose which topic to follow. And you never need to weigh following a person because they post about interesting thing A, but also boring thing B. You can choose to share only your common interests with that person by participating in the same community. Much like friendships work in real life.

On top of that, Reddit and Lemmy employ a voting mechanism to present the topics that appear most interesting to most users first. This is great, because even within a topical community, there are various subtopics to discuss, and not all are most relevant all the time. Also, naturally people say sometimes more interesting things, and sometimes less interesting things. And sometimes people spend more effort on a post and sometimes less. All totally natural things, but things that make participating into a larger community hard. Voting alleviates that, because people don’t need to think if what they post is interesting to the community at the moment, but the community decides that democratically.

Reddit and Lemmy also allow following users (not sure if Lemmy already does), so one can still follow that one cool rock star or that one CEO or that one journalist that posts only interesting things about various topics.

Lemmy bans just like reddit does?
