BOT! KILL IT!

That’s why they’re talking about the next generation.

With AI you can easily generate 100 different ways to say the same thing. And it’s hard to distinguish a bot that’s parroting someone else from a person who’s repeating something they heard.

That’s promising :/ I really like the shape of that mouse, and the custom weights. What did you end up buying instead?

I still have a ~10 year old Logitech G500 that has finally started to go bad. I’ve been looking around, and it seems that Logitech’s quality has been going down the drain - apparently sometimes clicks get registered as double clicks on recent models?

Can you (or anyone else who has one) comment on their experience with that?

How many password managers have you been trying out this week?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Lemmys tokens have no expiration, right? So they are effectively username and password combined.

Which table/columns am I looking at here?

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that tool. Thanks for all the stuff that you do!

In my experience people only follow people to new networks when enough other people have made the switch. Try convincing people to use signal or telegram instead of WhatsApp, for example.

To move off twitter, one person will make the journey, find out that most of the people they want to follow (or be followed by) aren’t on mastodon, and go back to twitter.

People don’t actively seek out content on Lemmy (yet). But if they do check it out, they will be more likely to stick around if they feel they don’t miss out on stuff they were used to on reddit.

For some things like text posts and questions, comments / discussion is great. For other, more content based posts like photos, game discounts or adult content, I don’t mind one bit not seeing other people’s comments.

Lemmit is meant to become obsolete in the long run, but it can help prime the network with content that makes it easier to switch over.

Actually I’d say it’s the other way around. It’s hard to switch a social network, since it only makes sense to switch if the people you want to follow are also on the new network (The Network Effect).

However, for sites like reddit, it matters less. I don’t care who posts the cute kittens in !aww@lemmy.world, as long as they’re there. Much lower barrier to join. Once a network is primed with good content, the people will come.

More inline with OP: it also helps that there was already a huge exodus from twitter to mastodon a few years back, so they’ve got a bit of a head start.

Might be an idea to make your lemmy home on an instance that doesn’t allow down votes (those exist). People on other servers might still downvote it, but you won’t notice.

In fact, I think I’ll go do that myself.

1. I started out with the og Lemmy.ml. 2.Then created my own instance/bot Lemmit.
2. Thought Lemmy.ml was to slow/unstable, so created an account on Lemmy.world
3. Gotta have a separate account for grown up stuff, so signed up on LemmyNSFW.com
4. Gee… Lemmy.world is kinda slow/unstable… Better sign up on lemm.ee…

I’ll probably retire the lemmy.ml and world accounts though.

🤔 The server spits out html when it cannot reach the backend. So one could argue it’s a configuration issue because the admin didn’t provide enough capacity / didn’t set up a proper generic json error for backend failures.

FWIW, Liftoff doesn’t handle these super gracefully either.

At any rate I think it’s kinda awesome that we get to witness these kinds of infancy problems.

Side note: even after deferating, these activities still show up in activity table. (I’m on version 0.17.4).

The thing is (correct me if I’m wrong), if other instances federate with you, they’ll be hosting a copy of the data you store. For images this is manageable (although animated images are basically video), but it will quickly run into the gigabytes range.

In a way this is the opposite of what you’re asking, but this is kind of the reason I set up https://lemmit.online - To allow people to get quality content like !itookapicture@lemmit.online automatically onto Lemmy.

Anyone can request subs to be synced, and admittedly, not all of those requests make sense, since it doesn’t sync comments. But the goal is to bootstrap content creation / combat people returning to reddit because they miss content there.

Shameless plug: have you seen !requests@lemmit.online @lemmit.online?

It’s not entirely what you asked for, but I haven’t seen anything that’s like it either.
