Always has been

Currently, Lemmy communities appear as group accounts on mastodon which boost every post or comment posted to/in a community. This is effectively useless except for extremely low traffic communities maybe.

It’s not clear to me whether this is a Lemmy or Mastodon issue.

That’s cool but are the videos on Pixelfed long enough for WebP2P to work? I imagine the median video length on Pixelfed would be seconds rather than minutes as it would be on Peertube.

The link you posted is a post by a mod announcing that they will enforce the policy given to them by the LW admins.

From the modlog I can tell that (presumably) you posted a text post to !politics@lemmy.world about the policy that was then removed.

If you’re posting to !politics@lemmy.world, such posts would obviously be removed because that’s A. not on topic (that’d be a topic for !lemmyworld@lemmy.world. ) and B. not a link to an article. The latter is also the reason given for the removal.

Stirring up drama over absolutely nothing usually ends up hurting someone. Could you not?

I can’t remember the last time I saw a graph starting at a non-zero value where it showed anything other than noise whereas they almost always skew my initial impression of the data. If there’s no point in doing it but a major downside, I see no point in having them for any reason other than to mislead people.

Indeed the right sides of the graph start at 0. The left side does not.

Note that 2000/h (10^3) aren’t all that significant when there’s already 14000000 (10^7) users present.

What a terrible graph. That “huge” spike is a mere 0.5% increase. That might as well be noise.

Don’t believe any graph whose y-axis starts at any value but 0 people.

I was being a bit unclear here, what I meant was that replies mentioning a hashtag shouldn’t show up as posts in its pseudo-community; only posts. Replies to a post with a hashtag would show up regardless of content.

I’d see this to be implemented in Lemmy itself. Hashtags are a global thing, not instance-specific, and should already be available to Lemmy via AP.

Lemmy would “just” need the ability to display a hashtag as a “community” containing posts made under that hashtag. Question is what to do with replies but given Lemmys design, they could probably simply be left out because, if it’s truly on-topic, the post will likely contain the hashtag too and therefore land in the hashtag “community”.

I don’t know what you’re getting excited about here; this is all publicly available information which Facebook could scrape at any time they wanted (federated or not), even right this very second.

I thought it’d be issue/MR discussions because that’d be a fairly obvious application of AP but it’s actually for MRs themselves? Wow.

Git forges are the only remaining non-federated social platforms that I still heavily use.

With AP, we might finally be able to build a forge network that could become a viable public hosting alternative to GitHub.

For me it says @strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz, not @null. Clicking on your comment’s Fediverse button to take me to your instance still shows the same.

Looks like a hash, so it’s likely using a content-addressed-store here. How else are they supposed to ID images?

I don’t see how cellphones or CGNAT play into this. If you can send real-time voice data in a web call P2P in your browser (webrtc), you can send semi-real-time video data P2P aswell.

Why would I do that when paperless already does OCR through ocrmypdf internally?

My problem is not the steps before or after the conversion to PDF but the conversion to PDF itself. Getting an image into a PDF isn’t a trivial manner from the technical side, especially if you care about preserving its content.

I’ve got a USB scanner that (presumably) just sends a bitmap. It’s up to the software instructing the scanner to convert that bitmap into other formats.

Even if it did do that itself, how would it encode the images inside the PDFs? It’s the same issue, just that I wouldn’t get to choose.

I also get my bank statements digitally; those are trivial to handle.

This is about scans of physical paper.

How do you handle multiple pages?
