Hell yeah!

Burritos. Like most burritos.

Not much we can do if a mod decides to do it…

Personally, I think a sweet spot would be to ask users when they sign up what kind of experience they want. Let them decide and make it easy to change later.

“Do you want your posts to be followed by Mastodon/Fediverse?” Yes/No/I dunno (No/I dunno are the same with a bit more info). Something like that. Then if they have it on, have a button like mastodon that makes it easy to follow outside the network.

The current way of having both accounts follow a certain account is difficult enough that most dont do it.

Its all good! Lemmy isnt going to downvote you to hell for repeating something a year old. We are not reddit ;)

How does the wordpress integration work? I haven’t seen much articles talking about it lately. Can I post from mastodon to a wordpress?

Just FYI, this is an old article.

There is some interesting tools that have come out because of this:

• https://lifehacker.com/tech/best-bluesky-clients-are-for-mastodon
• https://openvibe.social/

From my experience, its been very hard to find people that use the bridge both from bluesky and mastodon. But it does work. Im still looking for a browser extension that makes the process of following a bluesky account from mastodon easier. Its not very user friendly ATM.

Yep everyone can post everywhere. As long as its fedi!

Yep the closest you will get is a server will fail to reach out to another server because of a technical issue. But the very nature of activityhub means that it will likely reach out again. Plus it will probably not just be your post that doesn’t make it’s way, it will be a whole collection.

The real answer.

Librewolf is basically that. It’s pretty good ngl. I don’t have to spend a half hour reconfiguring Firefox like I do in new setups.

We don’t use real names on the internet for a reason. CEOs that use their own names as platforms should have a department (or at least a publicist) take a look at their posts as it can effect a company.

People are leaving the platform now because of something pretty avoidable.

Interesting. I hope so.

I cant find GotoSocial so I cant check the above server I used as an example. However I do have a couple of servers. Let me see if they show up.

EDIT: Looks like its MUCH more accurate on one of the servers I maintain. However im seeing a couple of servers not showing up:

1. The # of active members is correct on the mastodon server.
2. Peertube server is correct as well.
3. Pixelfed is correct.
4. Lemmy.world has 17.8K users / month on the sidebar and the website states: 17841 users. So that also looks correct.
5. However the GoToSocial site that is my families is not showing up. And its definitely federated.
6. s.scintilla.social also does not show up on the site. Again leading me to believe it might be something to do with GoToSocial here.

So it might still be having issues with GoToSocial OR GoToSocial might be the odd one out. It is much better though.

I usually just show them videos/videos without the Algorithm and a couple come on over. We also have [email protected] and that helps.

Instead of trying to sell the Fediverse, I just sell the site without any ads. Quite a few are interested. Then I post on discord on different sources. A couple have come around. They technically dont know they are on the fedi.

Petty sure the data brokers have lol.

It’s still BS of course.

You joke but, while LLMs are a money maker, the real money will come from those who can provide up to date info! Like Lexas Nexas or other data brokers. The biggest issue for these LLMs is that their training data is no where near what it needs to be. And its quite obvious they only trained on non-corporate public data + whatever slop they could get from reddit.

The biggest issue isnt the quantity of data, its the quality! Ironic because they are literally flooding the internet with slightly more wrong detail on how to do things.

As a software dev, the thing that llms provide is an easy way to get started. For the really simple stuff, it’s 90% correct so worth it if your saving time. It can make you a simple hello world, a form, heck even a good rest API.

BUT you MUST take a look at what it’s creating. It will hallucinate aka lie to get you an answer. And context is lost on it. And most models are trained on really old PUBLIC data. That means any very specific knowledge that may be industry standard that is not necessarily in the model when it was trained. It’s going to make mistakes much worse than a jr dev. You also get the issue of maintaining that code it generated. It’s going to look like a hack to be honest.

It’s a great tool to get you started and maybe save you time, but it’s just a tool in the tool belt.

Its a fun little game! I played it years ago.

Wish I did! I know lemmy has https://lemmyverse.net/ which seems accurate. Maybe others can chime in?

Ive been keeping my eye on fedidb for a time, after they stated we had over 12 million users…then it dropped off to 11 almost overnight. It did some retroactive counting. I then looked at software in general and found they are not counting things correctly. Some things overestimating wildly (like the example above) and some its not indexing at all.

Just FYI, fedidb is wildly wrong on the numbers lately. You may want a different source.

For example, there are instances on GoToSocial that have 2-3 users showing up with thousands on fedidb EX: https://fedidb.org/network/instance/s.scintilla.social. And some lemmy servers show up multiple times on their statistics.
