No, let’s say you’re subscribed to 2 communities. One is very active and the other one is not too much. In that case the popular one would always dominate the feed. But there could be an option to mark a community as “important” so you see more of it.
Exactly this. My specific issue is memes vs my city. My city gets’ about a post a day where memes get’s like 20-30. I really care about the 1 post per day with my city and I care enough about memes to subscribe but not enough to see all 20.
Honestly I’m more of a Sync guy, but I have tried Apollo when I switched to iOS for a little bit. While I did enjoy it I actually enjoyed Slide more because I liked the gestures a little better. iPhones are pretty popular (at least here in the states), and Apollo is the the most popular 3rd part app, so it make sense that it’ll be the one you hear about the most.
To differentiate from people who are talking about multireddits, because what I think you’re really after is an open content algorithm. The answer is not yet but I think it’s only a matter of time. This is the real killer feature of the fediverse that hasn’t been talked about yet.
It would be good, but I'm not sure if the expected Multireddit-style behaviour will ever appear on the threadiverse - at least not in the way I use them (I don't subscribe to any sub in a multireddit) - for the same reason that Lists are limited in value on Mastodon: there appears to be a "safety and privacy" policy in place that prevents you from adding accounts to a List that you're not subscribed to.
The only reason I use them is to remove their noise from my feed/timeline. Looking at you, Cory Doctorow... 👀
Maybe it will change, or maybe it will be different here (threadiverse) compared to Mastodon. I guess we'll see.
Social media sites used to be a revolving door but for a while the big ones have been pretty locked in. They’re getting overconfident and forgetting how easy it is to leave a website
It can happen here over time too. If the people running their instances somehow all get replaced with corpo instances. So we still need to watch out. It would just take a vast amount of effort and is highly unlikely.
If anything I’d say it’s far more likely on a platform still establishing itself. Of course, the fediverse has a solid failsafe against stupid corporations actively trying to ruin it. But at this stage anything that scares users away will kill the platform real quick
I would have to agree. Though in the fediverse we can just move instances and pick back up on unaffected communities like nothing happened. Hopefully this means we can avoid enshitification and future mass exodus because a CEO wanted his product to be savory to investors.
Slide has multireddit and, I presume, this would be a feature for Lemmy too.once it’s up and running. It’s still in an alpha release state.at the moment.
I believe this will increase the fediverse population, but ultimately I see a new centralized service emerging soon. Though, I do hope the fediverse becomes the prominent place for social content!
A lot of people seem to be going to blue sky, but I don’t really see what the point is of moving to something else that’s run by a single company again. Mastodon seems better when it comes to future proofing.
Their resistance to anything that resembles a discovery algorithm kind of sucks tho. I know they can be bad in the wrong hands, but it would be nice to see who else is on there and what everyone is talking about.
I don’t see how it doesn’t. I think the scenario in which Twitter survives through the end of the year is pretty much impossible at this point without significant outside financial intervention.
For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.
Library file stuff:
Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
Sonarr for TV
Lidarr for music
Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
Jackett
deluge+openVPN
For library frontend stuff:
Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader
Haven’t set up yet:
flaresolverr
unpackerr
audiobookshelf
Doesn’t exist yet/wishlist:
*arr app for emulator ROMs (I’ll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)
The problem with Mastodon is that they don’t have very many major entities actively making posts. The main thing I track on twitter is OSINT and US politics, and that community basically doesn’t exist on Mastodon right now
Indeed. That’s one of the gratifying things about the deaths of all the billionaire-owned sites. It’s giving room to breathe for those of us who don’t want their vision of a future of humanity on their knees before them servicing them.
I follow some major news sources on Mastodon (Reuters, NYT, WaPo, Guardian, and more). Im in NYC so I also follow transit alerts, one of the main reasons I had previously used Twitter.
As a self-hoster, I attempted installs of both. They both had somewhat broken installation guides for Docker installs. Spent a night failing to get kbin running and pivoted and for Lemmy working in a couple of hours. Wish I had some big fancy reason, but kbin was just shortly more of a pain to sort.
