Oh neat!

I’ve done this with my pixelfed/Mastodon to post on lemmy for easier image hosting. I still can’t get over how cool it is that you can essentially “post to ‘reddit’ from your ‘twitter’ or ‘instagram’”

the Fediverse is fuckin neat lol

Thank you for the additional context, I’ve heard peoples criticisms of substack but hadn’t heard any of this additional info

Ghost still seems cool though :)

There’s a Foss dating app called alovoa, I think I saw something on the subreddit when I was taking a look at it again a while back about potentially implementing activitypub

Neat!! Thanks for sharing 😊

Works in brave too!

I use !gi a lot because brave image search sucks lol

That may be true but in practice adding friction to a given interaction makes it happen less, and that makes a big difference at scale. You don’t need to prevent anyone from doing it, you need to change the dynamics that result in it happening in a group large enough to cause a problem

If you put them up for sale somewhere I’d love to know about it!

Hope you have a lovely day ☺️

Is that a sticker we can get? That looks dope

If you want to potentially sidestep some of people’s frustrations you might consider just using the credibility rating and focusing on whether a group provides factual reporting, rather than left or right of center

You can also create a user experience that more carefully manages expectations of the feature by having it be opt in, but presenting the option to users when it becomes available. That gives you the opportunity to give a short blurb acknowledging its imperfections and also highlighting its potential value

As someone fairly to the left wing myself, the fact that lemmy is so left wing is both a blessing and a curse. I don’t see Nazis around, but being in an echo chamber isn’t great for your ability to engage with perspectives other than your own, and makes you succeptible to narratives that reinforce your existing views regardless of whether they’re accurate

I’d love this feature, in spite of its flaws, but it does definitely have them. Its based on the US overton window, which will frustrate folks from other parts of the world who may already feel lemmy sometimes forgets the world beyond the US exists. And the US overton window is changing as a product of the trump administration which may warp mbfc results, which could honestly be really dangerous.

Focussing on the factuality and credibility might help you sidestep those problems and make a feature people would find less frustrating, potentially even to the point that you could make it opt out.

Generally I appreciate efforts to build healthier, less echo chambery discourse, thanks for the work you’re doing ❤️

Huh, that’s super cool!!

If anyone from lemmings.world could report this I’d appreciate it, I’m not exactly sure who reports go to, so I’m not sure if my report will end up in front of the mod of the instance this account is on

Oh neat, I’d never seen that before

It is, and somehow that escaped me… 😅

I mean there’s the Lemmy mouse mascot guy, but yeah instances are already pretty established

Oh neat! I wouldn’t have caught that, thanks!

There are a lot of other good answers, but it seems worth remembering lots of poor powerless folks hate trans folks too.

Part of the reason they’re coming after trans people is because it’s human nature to hate or fear those you don’t understand and who are different. A dark, and sad part of human nature, but part of human nature nonetheless

All the other stuff folks are talking about is also a true, but it’s not like they’re unique in their contempt for people who are different

I didn’t know that, that definitely helps

Yeah, I agree.

When it comes to building a fediverse service there’s a really delicate balance to find with making it unambiguous you’re engaging with multiple services, vs creating a singular and cohesive enough user experience, and it seems like the peertube devs just learn reaaally far towards the former at the expense of the latter.

Its a bit frustrating.

Edit: I learned from another user on this thread that sepia search can be enabled by an instance as their search functionality. That definitely helps
