I apologize if anyone has posted this before, or if I'm missing an entire community for this purpose. But if not, what communities have you made and what are they intended for?

my list was private, just my team and I. We decided to share our curated list and share the new links we found using our rules in classic reddit fashion. Resulted in a list of very high quality links. We could have not shared, kept it all on teams.

Now we are selfish for wanting our content on a platform that we can use.

Sure. Fuck us right?

https://www.reddit.com/r/integratedai/comments/14gb33s/the_mods_are_the_sole_content_producers_for_this/

quick overview - sub was created in the true spirit of reddit as a curated link list, less than 1% participation in posts or comments by anyone other than the mods operating the list. This is effectively a mailing list.

we have been told to re-open or lose our sub. this sub is a project of mine and im not going to let them take names we are just trying to establish.

We want to share our work with people and provide them the same resources we use to advance our knowledge in ai in our own way on our own schedule.

We are now told we MUST produce for reddit.

r/integratedai Is not a dedicated AI meme sub. Mems about AI or mems made with AI are all welcome! If you have any issues LMK!

Note to users of https://lemmy.intai.tech

We are aware of the issue, it is network wide. Growing pains.

Thank you for your patience.

Just noticed because I went directly to a community on lemmy.world/c/... instead of sh.itjust.works/lemmy.world/c...

Quite many comments that were over an hour old were missing. I guess there's a problem with the federation. Is anybody else experiencing something similar?

We are looking for help moderating and adding content to these communities. Each has been created to fill gaps in the Fediverse in one way or another but I have no desire to control these entirely.

If you are interested in being a part of the team helping provide a home for users of intai.tech post here and let us know!

It probably goes against the philosophy or whatever of FOSS or Lemmy itself, but why not be a little evil so that you can actually sustain yourself? Donations can bring us far, but small non-intrusive ads can be a bliss in the skies for the people actually hosting the instance. Especially if there are millions of users uploading thousands of images and videos. This is extremely expensive.

Is running ads really that taboo?

EDIT: some people seem not to get the point of "millions of users", which presumably includes non-techies that do not use adblockers. I mean that without ads (or mining?), no instance would be able to scale to the point where it can compete with Reddit for example. If you were to want that.

*tl;dr if you joined us here are intai.tech then you made the right move, smaller instances are less likely to have issues, will often be faster and wont often be banned as we will produce SFW content. *

Regarding Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, this post goes into detail on the why and the philosophy behind that decision. Additionally, there is an update specific to sh.itjust.works here.

For now, let's talk about what federation is and what defederation means for members of Beehaw or the above two communities interacting with each other, as well as the broader fediverse.

Federation is not something new on the internet. Most users use federated services every day (for instance, the url used to access instances uses a federated service known as DNS, and email is another system that functions through federation.) Just like those services, you elect to use a service provider that allows you to communicate with the rest of the world. That service provider is your window to work with others.

When you federate, you mutually agree to share your content. This means that posting something to a site can be seen by another and all comments are shared. Even users from other sites can post to your site.

Now when you defederate, this results in content to be no longer shared. It didn't reverse any previous sharing or posts, it just stops the information from flowing with the selected instance. This only impacts the site's that are called out.

What this means to you is when a user within one instance (e.g. Beehaw) that's chosen to defederate with another (e.g. lemmy.world), they can no longer interact with content on another instance, and vice versa. Other instances can still see the content of both servers as though nothing has happened.

  • A user is not limited on how many instances they can join (technically at least - some instance have more stringent requirements for joining than others do)
  • A user can interact with Lemmy content without being a user of any Lemmy instance - e.g. Mastadon (UI for doing so is limited, but it is still possible.)

Considering the above, it is important to understand just how much autonomy we, as users have. For example, as the larger instances are flooded with users and their respective admins and mods try to keep up, there are plenty of smaller instances (and even single user instances - I have one for just myself!) The act of defederation does not serve to lock individual users out of anything as there are multiple avenues to constantly maintain access to, if you want it, the entirety of the unfiltered fediverse.

On that last point, another consideration, at the individual level, is simply - what do you want out of Lemmy? Do you want to find and connect with like-minded people, share information, and connect at a social and community level? Do you want to casually browse content and not really interact with anyone? These questions and the questions that they lead to are critical. There is no direct benefit to being on the biggest instance. In fact, as we all deal with this mass influx, figure out what that means for our own instances and interactions with others, I would argue that a smaller instance is actually much better suited for those who just want to casually browse everything.

Lastly, and tangential, another concern I have seen related to this conversation is people feeling afraid of being locked out of the content and conversation from the "main" communities around big topics starting to form across the Lemmiverse (think memes, gaming, tech, politics, news, etc.) Over time, certain communities will certainly become a default for some people just given the community size (there will *always *be a biggest or most active - it's just a numbers game.) This, again though, all comes down to personal preference and what each individual is looking to get from their Lemmy experience. While there may, eventually, be a โ€œmainโ€ sub for (again, by the numbers), there will also always be quite a few other options for targeted discussions on , within different communities, on different instances, each with their own culture and vibe. This can certainly feel overwhelming and daunting (and at the moment, honestly it is.) Reddit and other non-federated platforms provided the illusion of choice, but this is what actual choice looks and feels like.

I've just recently moved to Lemmy, and so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit. However, I've been thinking about the privacy issues whe DMing someone here.

Since this is a federated service, when you DM someone you have to trust both your server's admin, as well as the recipient's. Not that I particularly trusted reddit, but at least it was 1 corporation with (hopefully) some solid security procedures in place, and potential penalties for data breaches. Whereas in Lemmy, it might just be 2 random guys.

I've added an age key to my profile, in the hopes to make people more aware of this issue. As well as giving people an option, if they wish to contact me privately.

I know, it's not user friendly. But it's the only way I could think of that wouldn't rely on email + GPG. Does anyone know of a better solution?

I have a lot of subscriptions, of which don't appear to be up to date.

Some communities, I see hardly no comments, and the vote counters never go up.

My assumption is the instance hosting the community is completely overloaded.

My instance, has gigabit symmetrical internet, 128G of assigned ram, and an entire E5-2697a v4 processor allocated to it (16 cores, 32 threads)

The worker count is turned up, but, in terms of my instance, it is basically sitting "near" idle, with a load average of < 0.30

There- anyway to speed up federation other then the instances hosting the communities upgrading their servers?

use an nsfw flag if you're posting porn, please

i, and probably many others as well would not like porn to randomly appear on our homepage, this is nothing personal, but forcing porn on people is not right, I understand that many are new to lemmy/kbin so they might not have seen the option to flag posts as NSFW, but please edit your posts now that you know and apply it

Thank you

How do i do this?

tick that tickbox
