The Living Web: Will there eventually be a protocol on top of (or as a part of) ActivityPub to run distributed LLMs on instances, with the LLMs feeding on the data generated by the Fediverse? (lemmy.world)
Last year, the corporate-dominated web came alive, much thanks to the help of corporate-owned social media platforms - how long will it take until the open sections of the web do so?...

What are your favorite Lemmy instances?
Recommended Pixelfed Instance?
I want to create a Pixelfed account but I’m not sure which instance to choose. I’m in the US, so I was just going to pick the default and largest option, but I know spreading out the instances is one advantage to the federated network, so it then makes sense to choose a smaller one....
Any chance to have a separated [PORN] tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts?
Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???
Group Convergence (blog.erlend.sh)
Groups as both a formal ActivityPub spec and general concept deeply invigorate me. I previously wrote about group-to-group following (FEP-d36d) as the missing glue layer to successfully transition /r/rust to the threadiverse....

Would running a Lemmy/kbin instance on your phone be feasible?
Libp2p or similar stack could be used to provide the phone instance an address, caching could be distributed among peers. Of course, as long as other servers also support libp2p....

Instance Assistant v1.2.5 released: You can now generate posts for Lemmy/Kbin, search for posts, and redirect posts from foreign instances
Hi everyone, I’m excited to announce one more release before I take a short break. I have some other stuff starting up, so I won’t be pushing out new features as fast, but I’ll still be around to manage the project. (more at the end)...
New communities and flooding the feed
What I mean is someone sets up a new community, blasts it with a bunch of content to get things started, or sets up a new community bot that makes 20 posts and every other post in my feed is that community. Usually with 1 or 2 votes each and no comments. No matter what way I sort I see this....
Why is the default setting for the startpage's feed "Local" and not "All"
I think this has negative effects on the threadiverse because it tends to keep user’s focus at lemmy.world and in general keeps users to stay in their bubbles
Deleting lemmy emojis
I tried to add a bunch of emojis, and none of them worked. When I try to click any of them, it says “Undefined” in the post. Since none of my added emojis have ever worked, I would like to delete them all and try adding them with new shortcodes. How do I do this, and what should be the format of a shortcode(as what I was...
What is a feasibility to implement IPFS for lemmys image hosting?
We have a bunch of instances hosting basically the same images multiple times. Using IPFS we could increase the availability of images for users with almost no cost to instances. I have heard rumors that pict-rs can’t be easily scaled up due file system based storage and would need a rewrite....
What are your Lemmy predictions? What do you think Lemmy will be like in the future?
lemmy.hjson gmail working email configuration block?
Hi. I got a new instance of Lemmy up on my server, but outgoing emails aren’t working with Gmail. I have a paid account with Gmail, and previously have used outgoing mail with other services(like phpbb and Mastodon), and they worked. If you can provide some help, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Looks like the stories feature for Pixelfed is currently rolling out on the flagship instance

Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way (chrlschn.medium.com)
In many ways, Mastodon feels like rewinding the clock on social media back to the early days of Twitter and Facebook. On the consume side, that means that your home feed has no algorithm (this can be disorienting at first)....

Would you agree to algorithm-generated timelines if there were sufficient tools to check whether the timeline on an instance work as promised?
I think a big problem behind the reluctance of alternatives to the strictly chronical timeline on Mastodon is that people fear that too much power is taken out of their hands if they are introduced. But the fact is: it is already the case that we put a lot of trust in administrators to put the correct software in place. A...

Is Mastodon’s strictly chronological news feed based on a wrong assumption?
The assumption is that centrally managed social media is bad because their algorithm is bad. But actually, they are bad because they are centrally managed and force one algorithm onto you. I’m not even advocating algorithm-by-choice. Even instance-specific algorithms would already work and would make the whole experience much...
