On top of that, it’s apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.

Isn’t that kind of perfect though

TL;DR: Articles on mastodon will now automatically link to the author’s fediverse handle.

Seems like an essential feature to me. Curious to see if it’ll be in the beta.

Having moderation work in an expected and consistent way is hardly the same thing as moderation tooling.

This is super exciting. I think one of the things a lot of people are missing here is the potential for small wikis to augment existing fediverse communities. Reddit’s killer feature has always been the massive treasure trove of information for hobbyists and niche interests. There is huge potential in the fediverse to take advantage of that sort of natural collaborative knowledge building process.

Looks like we’ve been making this stuff since 2006 and at decent enough volumes since then.

About 10 km of REBCO was delivered by SuperPower that year in the world’s first manufacturing demonstration to construct a 30 m long power transmission cable that was installed in the power grid

Worth noting, they have since publicly apologized

I don’t think it’s fair to write off the entire medium like that. They all share a common ancestor in Twitter and I think it’s fair to say the toxicity is inherited from there.

mastodon, bluesky, and lemmy are just going to be footnotes in history

Only if they squander their lead. So long as they innovate in ways befitting the fediverse form, they will probably maintain their position. That said, it seems to me like modular systems like bonfire will probably leapfrog the existing platforms pretty quickly.

Absolutely wild that this is a group of minors.

This is a particularly silly opinion because Lemmy is an algorithmic social media platform. It’s just an algorithm that you happen to have access to documentation for. Almost certainly, any fediverse algorithm would have to work on the same principles as Lemmy (open and based on public interactions). Likes and upvotes are king. User similarity ranking is wildly inefficient on the fediverse due to its distributed nature and keyword systems are easily gamed (although some hybrid is possible).

This has always been the killer feature of the fediverse. Open non-exploitative content algorithms. So weird to see people against it for no reason.

This is a great project and I’m surprised by the tone of the response here. I think most folks are forgetting that most of the people dealing with configuration are not programmers by trade. They just need to setup a tool for their use case. To that end, the gap between the existing configuration paradigm and extending their software is practically insurmountable. This language bridges that gap in a robust and purpose built way and that is going to make a lot of people’s lives and jobs easier.

Think about homeassistant and how much less fidly it’d be to get advanced functionality or interfaces if the gap between programming and configuration were closed? There is an absolute fuckton of enterprise and scientific software that will improve in the same way.

Yeah, doesn’t seem like a ban was at all justified. This part stuck out to me:

I believe the best way to moderate a small community such as this in order to facilitate it’s growth is to be as hands-off as possible.

Except as it relates to meta-posts, huh? That’s a strange choice for a supposedly community driven model.

All that said, I am very much in favor of some of the things you suggest (particularly dedicated threads for discussion on each new movie) and I think it would probably go a long way towards improving the real-world value of the community. I think this is particularly true as it seems unlikely that with 1.1k subscribers the community has properly filled their niche.

Do you think there is any way the mod of !moviesandtv@lemm.ee would consider some sort of deal wherein you moderate and run this spinoff community with more structured discussion, while they link to and officially endorse the community (of course contingent on ongoing good relations)? Mentioning @Djinn@lemm.ee

Some other groups from guppe:
!histodons@a.gup.pe
!nfl@a.gup.pe
!academicchatter@a.gup.pe
!knitting@a.gup.pe
!folklore@a.gup.pe

I think one thing you’re missing here is that under such a system the defaults would likely become your locally hosted /c/books rather than the largest one. Even still you’d probably see posts from the largest books communities because /c/books@your_instance follows multiple /c/books@big_instance. Community blocking would likely still work as it currently does so any books communities that you were not fond of could still be blocked.

There is still the issue of where do you post and I think the answer looks something like:

• Post in /c/books@your_instance if you want to talk to your neighbors
• Post in /c/books@big_instances if you want to talk to everybody

Which is more or less how most people would decide where to post book stuff anyway.

I really don’t hate this idea from a lemmy centric UX perspective but how do you handle federation with other platforms?

Really like your protocol handlers contribution here. Seems tough to square with multiple accounts though.

Yup that’d be sick
