i mean you can already put a link to your blog in your user profile on lemmy. in fact many people do it. (i don’t do it myself because i don’t have a good website to link to)

yeah, exactly. for example, in the sidebar (community description) of lemmy communities.

or in your personal profile description

yeah making content is a lot of work. i can’t blame them.

we need

• links from fediverse instances to other fediverse instances
• maybe tools like https://fediversemap.com/ to find fediverse instances that are physically close to you, to connect to people irl and organize irl events
• prefer to post content on already existing instances so you get better exposure

i’m too young for that :D

password protection means you’ll have 0 visitors. it’s better to do proof-of-work instead. which means, the visitor’s computer solves some cryptographic puzzle to prove that it has spent energy and therefore money to visit the website. that makes scraping millions or billions of websites practically too expensive to do, while if you only visit a single website, it’s still reasonably cheap to do.

there’s at least 3 layers of finding stuff:

• you already know the full URL
• you only know the exact article title
• you don’t know the article, but are interested in things of a specific topic

i think search engines are … tricky

i always prefer lists and indexes over search engines because search engines feels a bit like voodoo magic to me, it has unpredictable outcomes. for example, sometimes you need just the right keyword for search engines to give you meaningful results, and otherwise it will just not return anything. and that is a lot like chatgpt … you ask it something and it might give you a meaningful response. or it might completely miss the point. when there’s an actual list of communities that is small and complete, then i can go through it manually to check where it might be.

everything is an echo chamber

can you name a single thing that’s not an echo chamber of some sorts?

the side bars for each community can effectively be a webring. i’m talking about these things here:

(example is the sidebar of the /c/selfhosted@lemmy.word community)

nice, not too bot-infested, privacy-respecting, free, distributed and federated platform

nice, mediocrely bot-infested, publicly readable, donation-funded, distributed and federated platform

ftfy

I think making your articles on the fediverse is better than building your blog website from scratch.

Instead of https://thisismywebsite.com/blog/
instead do https://mylemmyinstance.com/c/myblog

This way, it better integrates with fediverse mechanics such as follow, like, comment. Also people can discover your stuff through the “all” feed, even though unlikely, maybe one day we’ll get more interesting recommendation algorithms for the fediverse.

i think they took a list of all publicly accessible fediverse instances and then just looked up the IP address for each of them, and then the geographic location for each IP address. most of this process could be automated somehow, but you still need to create the website and the hella cool intro :D

different fediverse services

xD

in theory systemd is faster because it can do things in parallel

they’d give up leverage if they did it now. you know, you can only bomb a datacenter once. so they want to do it as a response when they get attacked next time, as a deterrence against the actual attack.

Yeah and these goggles will also save you from oil drops flying around and into your eyes when you fry some fish in the pan.

I agree. If AI becomes outlawed, it will simply be used without other people knowing about it.

This approach, at least, means that people will label AI-generated code as such.

They don’t know that either.
