Hmm, how would that work?

I assume if an ad is just trying to track what websites you visit often, this would not work 100% of the time, as they would still get your IP if a request went towards the advertiser, or am I misunderstanding how it works.

This is a stunning experience, and teaches you something at the same time.

Works perfectly fine on mobile, too!

People still want to see people.

And, of course, you can make more money when you force everyone to come in.

Thank you! Had the domain for a while, and now found the perfect use case for it :D

I feel like PeerTube only makes sense in the case of “I have the technical knowledge to host my own instance”

As indeed, I find it difficult to believe that any single “community”-instance will survive once it starts getting some traction. Hosting, maintaining and moderating such a platform would be extremely expensive if you have to do it for not only your own content.

Ease of access and user experience. A single platform beats that, as you don’t have to choose where to signup and everything will be available without effort.

However, Lemmy is getting better with that and hopefully the user base continues growing. It doesn’t need to have a billion users to be an awesome experience.

Ever since advertising became extremely intrusive, it’s been game over for them. I’d rather put effort into hiding the ads (Adblocker), switching browser if necessary (Chrome v3 bs) and switching platforms (Lemmy) then seeing them again.

Perfect idea!

Let’s improve the character building by requiring people to first setup their own Lemmy instance before they can join a larger one.

That surely will improve the amount of users here 😇

I completely agree!

Posting/commenting on Reddit largely feels like a waste of time to me if it’s not something big and attention grabbing. I would get zero people to interact for days, while on Lemmy I usually get a reply within a few hours if I have a question about a post.

Of course this isn’t evidence of anything, but I feel that it’s because Lemmy hasn’t been flooded with bots (yet? Hopefully never).

Didn’t we go through this already, and it just started telling fiction constantly?

Fixed! Now I noticed that the phone app doesn’t properly show the red squiggly lines 😅

It is awesome to see how the environment affects electronics, and this is a prime example of such.

It’s also funny that this is impacting speed runners lol, imagine having an advantage/disadvantage based on the age of your console.

Makes me happy to see it, a future for a platform that is not locked by a single large player. Instead, I can have my own profile that I actually own and do not “lend”.

Their products require their app, would this effectively turn their devices useless when the servers die?

I know it supports a single button to start cleaning, but I wonder if that will work properly without being able to call home.

Might be time for people to look for alternatives.

Hopefully our AI overlord will be benevolent

Maybe, but I was on the internet as a teen and that went fine, being careful is a general thing in life.

But more importantly: adults have a phone and use it during work ALL the time. So I’m not so sure about the average age of the people commenting on here.

Interesting report. Might give Mastodon a try someday, I quit Twitter a little bit before the acquisition.

Sounds like a good solution for people who are on larger instances, my instance does not host any communities sadly.

I like that view, and it made me think of a possible “implementation”/“fix” as well:

1. Combine the post somehow (Based on attachment/title/something else?)
2. Filter/categorize the comments by instance that the comment was originally posted towards (Not by user, as that would be awful)

The largest issue here that I can see, how do we treat “new” comments to a post?

My annoyance is primarily with the fact that I see the same image 3x in a row, on a fairly regular basis. I might unsub from a few communities that share the same content.

One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.

However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary ‘Reddit’-needs.
