    New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports."

  • Would you agree that a post written by a LLM is "low effort"?

  • What to study to be able to host a site?

    Jump

  • Hosting a fediverse instance is at the higher end of the scale when it comes to hosting. There tend to be a lot of moving parts as it's complex software.

    Host a static site first, just a bunch of plain HTML files.

    Then host a Wordpress site.

    Then host a fediverse thing.

  • How do you feel about the current state of Lemmy?

  • How do you feel about the current state of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Yes there is. Check this out - https://join.piefed.social/2024/06/22/piefed-features-for-growing-healthy-communities/

    It's up to the instance admins to make use of those but I certainly have on https://piefed.social/. I have no qualms about banning negative, bad-faith or douchy losers to save people from blocking them. And if a community is bad enough, I'll ban the whole community.

    Also by deciding what to include in the starter-packs used during onboarding the admin can encourage people to join good communities while leaving toxic ones harder to find.

    Thousands of disinfo websites are blocked out of the box and I've manually added warnings onto dozens more that are frequently posted on Lemmy.

    There's more, way more. But you get the idea.

  • Back to the future - Interacting with threadiverse communities through Usenet / NNTP

    Jump

  • Oh god no, that howling abyss needs to stay lost and forgotten. Usenet is a disaster zone, the only way to do it these days is with a private server, disconnected from all the others.

    A few months ago I signed up for https://www.eternal-september.org/ and had a poke around. It was utter trash, just mountains of spam and insane people and insane spam.

  • No, but a PR that adds that would be very welcome. You can increase the chances of that happening by making an issue about this in our codeberg.

    It was caused by an overly strict anti-scraper configuration.

  • huh, TIL. Thanks!

    So it's just 17 times more likely to burn you to death than average cars.

  • It was full of antivax bullshit during the pandemic so I feel really angry about it. Fuck Odysee.

  • The recent downtrend was 1 month since the big upswing - many people make an account, try it for a few minutes and then don't come back. But these stats are monthly active users so people like that stay in the stats for a long time and don't get removed from the count until 1 month later.

    Halfway through that cycle https://fedinsfw.app/ was launched and that's the second wave of growth.
