I guess the thing I'm trying to describe is browsing. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5GggiXMaqDE
word clouds will find when a corpus of hashtags is similar in meaning. If you use only hashtags, that's like experiencing a grocery store or farmers market via an ambassador who cannot see the serendipitous shops that are nearby, the things frequently seen together. It's like shopping in an app and never visiting the grocery store itself. Having a precision following list means you can't experience going to a library and browsing shelves until something catches your eye - serendipitous search is fundimentally different from subscribed/reposted delivery, or even keyword search.
computers and digital space don't natively have the metric for which hashtags are closer, so they have to crunch the numbers to help figure out which books are closer to other books. Otherwise it's like entirely separate universes that you'll never ever find, like if you never knew a word that would lead you to a community of much more words and concepts and free thought.
Didn't they file a complaint with the labor board and were reinstated with back pay?
If by panic you mean AI hype, then maybe.
For example, this post is just as sensationalist.
If only restic deduplicated... But other than that it does okay.
Unfortunately that's only a kbin thing.
upvoting things on the main lemmy.ml page spins forever.
Their UX sucks
Karma is useful on things like discourse or mattermost as a spam prevention feature, you gradually expose features to people who aren't being spammy. The same thing is true of a user joining a new community on the same site.
Interview with an Emacs Enthusiast in 2023
Here's a meme about emacs :)
instance picker - more... tame instances front and center?
Okay - Lemmy is cool, and is experiencing a boost...
It would be important (while there's lots of eyes looking on it, especially the folks who will look on June 12-13th) for the instance picker to look presentable.
Something that doesn't look like a monoculture of one political ideology..
Right now, it starts off with Marxist / communist stuff right at the top (if that's your cup of tea, and you won't read, just down vote and move on).
However - I would argue the viability of a reddit alternative is one that starts off as a neutral pallet cleanser: just the tame instance descriptions on page one. If you want a themed instance you'll most certainly pick that tag or category while browsing.
I don't want it vanishing into obscurity because people write it off as a fringe gab-like offshoot that got kicked out of other places.
The software itself shouldn't spiral into only one sort of person using it, while driving away others.
Gotta have some way to slowly turn people socialist :) b
