@thecam This link struggled to load and did so incompletely.
Here is an archive.org cap someone made yesterday: https://web.archive.org/web/20230809182416/https://lemmy.world/post/2923697
I can’t wait til people start working on more tools to interface with lemmy/kbin. Soon the package managers will be full of clients, libraries, interfaces, scripts etc.
not at all meaning to be discouraging, but to solve anything at scale it will all have to be available in a browser or mobile client somehow. luckily with open source different people can work from different angles. :)
@Blaze as I understand it, if you are user on a small server, you only see content from communities that others on your sever have previously subbed to previously, or if you do so yourself. And then you only seen content from the moment of subscription on. There is no way to see back prior.
So if you want to use a community like !fediverse it’s OK because its popular and there will be prior subs. but if you are interested in !rockingchairrepair you will miss all prior discussion. Am I incorrect?
Also in practice, from my experiments, there seem to be inconsistencies in how even this works.
when I start writing this comment, the post is 47 minutes old. if I understand the linked page properly, lemmy.world has been functional (all green checkmarks) for the past 10 minutes which is the furthest back the data goes. All the other instances are all green except for lemmy.one which is all red. I am assuming that 47 minutes ago, lemmy.world had red boxes?
Maybe a different link would have explained the point better but I don’t really see how a 30 minute (??) server outage during an upgrade is compelling to avoid a large instance. Are you suggesting it’s better to use a server whos admins don’t upgrade? If not, is there really any size of server that would meaningfully avoid this kind of occasional disruption? Seems to me that the dynamism of the environment will inevitably lead to various problems. That’s part of the experience. TBH threadiverse uptime on the whole is pretty impressive for such a ragtag groups of admins and devs.
I have accounts on some smaller servers but they have their drawbacks too. Using a bigger server is more convenient because the people and content is already there. It’s easier. I didn’t plan to use lemmy.world but I ended up making account there to use sometimes.
I think in a year or so the situation might be different. I see the ideological point and I would like it to be true. Maybe the technology will catch up. I think it would be nice to be able to programmatically seed content, but maybe that would be obnoxious to admins.
In just two days, researchers found 112 instances of known CSAM across 325,000 posts
“We got more photoDNA hits in a two-day period than we’ve probably had in the entire history of our organization of doing any kind of social media analysis, and it’s not even close,”
In the whole history of this group they have found less than 112 pieces of CSAM? It’s Stanford University. Why not drop in on a few of Jeffery Epstein’s friends and fans. They can tell you were to look.
“Fediverse: alternative social media”
Or something
Make it somewhat findable and discernable. Including to the 99.9999999999% of people who dont get the jokes.
