Love this idea. I think we should also make sure that we are keeping broader fediverse compatibility in mind. Particularly kbin and mastodon.

Some interest specific instances that I haven’t seen here so far:
slrpnk.net
fanaticus.social
mander.xyz
There’s also a brand new currently unfederated instance for legal professionals at links.esq.social
As an example. This is the sort of post I’m talking about: https://tech.lgbt/@spaduf/110941439731236455
@bookstodon Not sure if this is anybody’s cup of tea but there’s a new Lemmy instance dedicated to books and writing over at: https://literature.cafe
The best part is you can participate from your existing fediverse account. Communities on Lemmy can be followed like users and have similar functionality to a.gup.pe groups!
Try following @fiction as an example but remember that federation doesn’t backfill.
More communities can be found here: https://literature.cafe/communities
Already sitting at about 8 boosts and several favorites from some folks with a fairly large follower count. That means potentially thousands of eyes. I went ahead and put together a dedicated user as I think that may be more appropriate than spam posting Lemmy communities/instances on my personal account. Not sure when I’ll have time to flesh it out and make it active but I’ve already got a list of communities/instances and what groups I think would be interested in them. Find it here:

The Lemmy devs honestly probably need a significant change in priorities or even a fork. They also seem to be ignoring relatively simple performance fixes that would have huge effects on the cost of instance hosting. If you think about it 60k users really shouldn’t cost that much to host. See @RoundSparrow’s thread about it here: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2971578
What’s the alternative? It honestly seems like a worthwhile way to do it for me. I really think there’s only value in following niche communities from Mastodon. Discourse like that found on politics and news is pretty plentiful (and often higher quality) on Mastodon as is, but the gardening communities make up an important part of my Mastodon feed.
Very true. Following hashtags is a pretty essential feature.
Groups boost posts from all users that mention them. https://a.gup.pe/ is one implementation of groups with mastodon (and other federated microblogging platforms) in mind, but lemmy communities actually work the same way when followed from mastodon. I believe other fediverse platforms implement groups in similar ways under the hood. This means that everything is more or less interoperable between platforms.
EDIT: Try it yourself! Follow technology@lemmy.world from Mastodon to see what I mean. Although I don’t know that I would stay a follower of a community that large unless I wanted significant impacts on my feed. A smaller, potentially more useful, addition to your feed are things like gardening communities.
Those are actually not groups.

Not a great look here overall. Was definitely hoping they would take a little bit more accountability. The solution seems simple. Spend less money on egregiously expensive equipment and spend more money on making sure things are accurate before they go out the door.
Some apps do have a thread view. Phanpy comes to mind and I want to say fedilab does too?
This is a really weird thing to post here to be honest and yet I think I’ve already seen this thread like five times. In so far as there is a Lemmy circle jerk this is definitely part of it.
The way to solve this is still largely through more focus on the provided context as the space of “facts” from which to operate. This combined with well thought out domain-specific context engines should still get the average user an absolutely enormous amount of utility. All that said I am not sure if OpenAI’s business model will get us that sort of application of the technology. I am looking forward to improvements in the open source space as I think advancement there is necessary for further development of the technology.
I see posts on the daily talking about better sort options than hot. I think it is you who is less familiar with the diversity of the fediverse. Remember, my original comment was:
Everybody’s subscribe page is different
Do you know then that hot is still pretty broken?
Bro you’re on kbin. How do you know how or why people do things on Lemmy?
Tags with mods having tag powers feels like the best option long term. Any sorting system can be applied without worrying about compatibility.
Everybody’s subscribe page is different. It will get bumped in active and new comments on Lemmy as I understand them. This feels like the intended use case for those sorts.
Holy shit this literally killed place
The Germans have won it seems.
I think the big question here is still where we land. It could easily be somewhere in the 20-30k range.
