Will people come?

yeah, that’s kind of an issue. Many communities exist more than once on multiple instances. Then again, this can also be a benefit. Maybe one of them isn’t to your liking -> choose another one. Or one of them goes down -> there’s a backup.

I mean, are companies really paying attention to user needs? Lol

Look, the user needs to see stuff that keeps them engaged. That keeps them coming back for more. Algos are designed to achieve exactly that. Your self chosen bubble of followings and interests may not be optimized for engagement and addiction.

No, the companies don’t pay attention to user needs, they pay attention to the bottom line.

sometimes I miss giving awards like on Reddit…

well, that’s going to change as soon as Threads will be available for federation. Then you can use Mastodon and be in direct contact with all the folks from the Meta-verse.

How is this legally binding? I still remember when people posted similar stuff all over Facebook. It means nothing.

Yes, those are good points!

I like this answer. Thanks!

How do you feel about people joking about and using 404 far off from HTTP?

Also: yay, AMAs have finally arrived. Who’s gonna verify your identity, though?

Yeah, it not being saturated yet kind of invites more active participation IMO.

To piggyback on that Linux analogy: if ActivityPub becomes as essential of a backbone to the internet as we know it as Linux servers are then the transformation has happened IMO.

I don’t really have an opinion right now 🤷‍♂️

Karma can be played and it has been extensively on Reddit. Best not to repeat that mistake!

I see where you’re coming from but to me anything related to programming goes.

If you don’t want that then point people to the right communities and delete unfitting posts. I guess that’s the only way to keep it clean. As a side effect, this may actually help other more specific communities in the long run.

Oh, yes, totally forgot about windows93! 😃

I’ve limited the resources available to Lemmy and pictrs and will see if it helps.

Sounds more like it, yes. I’ll keep an eye on it.

Maybe we should create a post in the support community?

I’m having similar issues with my instance where I’m the only one on it. I allocated more RAM to it now to see if it does anything.
