Lemmy needs to mature on a technical basis. The Lemmy service itself is still lacking significantly. But it it progressing.
Outside of technical limitations, focus on communities. A few good ones are better than many mediocre ones.
I hope they start supporting people who want to run an indexer. Right now they just point to their source code and say, "if you can get this largely undocumented complex service running on your own, you can run a indexer, but don't ask us for any help".
I'm not entirely confident that it will happen before their only funding source decides to cut off the cash flow.
The Justice Department’s lawsuit filings say the states violated long-standing federal law that prevents eligible voters from being removed from the voting rolls within 90 days of a federal election.
The law and order party doesn't like following the law.
Interesting comments there. Thanks for the pointer!
This is great! Thanks!
there are distinct cultures between different instances and it is a strength of the Fediverse that instances are not just faceless pieces of infrastructure, i.e. pipes to content, but rather thriving communities with real people behind them.
Yeah, that deserves emphasis.
That instances are the interconnected nodes that make up the network.
I would even just use the word "parts" instead of "nodes".
A bot shilling for Musk or a person shilling for Musk because they bought the hype are basically the same thing.
It's the scale that changes. One bot can be replicated much easier than a human shill.
That's not how it works on Android phones. Different Android phones will work differently based on the manufacturer and customization of the installed OS.
That certainly doesn't seem sustainable at all. You need to take care of yourself and I think you're making a good decision.
That's my motivation for many of my posts on Lemmy communities.
Accounts in which authentication has been provided seems like a better measure.
Seems like a severe undercounting
How does that site count active accounts?
!fountainpens@lemmy.world is fun.
I took my first moderation action and I'm not sure if it was too heavy handed, but I'm erroring on the side of keeping the communities I moderate a place were people feel that they won't be verbally attacked, harassed, or insulted.
Not air tight enough for extended storage purposes, too air tight for cooling in the fridge. It's all relative as your examples demonstrate.
Discord and Reddit also had uniquely improved their UIs over the existing options.
I wanted to understand their perspective. But that doesn't seem to be something they are willing to share in any more detail.
There was no implication being made.
What measure of difficulty of content discovery are you using to determine that it is difficult? What would not difficult content discovery be? What content is there is desired to be discovered What do you mean by, 'there is no "why" here'?
I have many questions about how people perceive the current state of things and what they view as potential areas for improvement.
You've made an awful lot of bad assumptions about me based on a single question that you haven't answered.
Hit-making songwriters and producers reveal the ways they are tailoring tracks to fit a musical landscape dominated by streaming.

> Throughout the history of recorded music, formats have helped shape what we hear. Our ideas about how long a single should be date back to what could fit on a 45 RPM 7" vinyl record. AM radio meant mono recordings, rather than stereo, and producer Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound—with its cavernous echo and massed instruments—was built for it, offering plenty of depth through a single speaker. Video killed the radio star. Ringtones birthed the quick-hit digital chirps of snap music. The requirements for American Top 40 FM radio, in particular, grew so byzantine by the early 2010s, when blaring, mathematically precise hits reigned supreme, that an industrial-strength supply chain of super-producers and songwriters emerged to fulfill them. > > And now, streaming’s promise for listeners is also a gauntlet thrown down for creators. With tens of millions of songs just a few taps away, artists must compete or be skipped. The unprecedented wealth of data that streaming services use to curate their increasingly influential playlists gives the industry real-time feedback on what’s working, but this instant data-fication in turn risks feeding back on itself. While streaming has undoubtedly coincided with a shift in the pop charts away from the caffeinated bravado of several years ago, streaming-era hits appear to be as rigidly defined and formulaic as ever—if not more so.
