A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/[email protected])

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

looks at community rules

This community is for discussing Trek, not you or your business/website/etc.

I assume copy-paste error?

lol, oops!

fixed!

Cool just subbed

[–] fer0n 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It’s not yet available, even in beta, right?

[–] EleventhHour -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This seems to work, even on my 14 Pro.

[–] fer0n 5 points 5 months ago

Are you talking about asking Siri about bedtime stories? Because that has been a thing for a while. Apple said that AI stuff was coming later this summer with a waitlist, so none of the new stuff should be there yet.

[–] simplejack 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How are you generating stories with Apple Intelligence? When I ask Siri to “tell me story,” Siri pulls from a small library of canned stories. They’re the same on iOS 17 and 18. They’re not generative and I can’t say “tell me a story about dinosaurs who where top hats.”

I’m a little off-put by how aggressive you’re being, but let’s consider what you’ve said:

Siri pulls from a small library of canned stories.

I’d appreciate a citation. Although, since this seems weird to prove without an official statement AND because Apple might just try this— I’ll consider a preponderance of evidence in lieu of some academic (or journalistic) study in the matter. It had better be good.

I also am very much aware of 2 important things re: your argument:

  1. I am able to produce the stories from Siri prompts on my iPhone 14 Pro (running iOS 18 DB1), a device that has been listed, even before the iOS 18 announcement, as not being able to support any of the AI features.
  2. I never summoned a “bedtime story” before, but I find them eminently amusing. I still think that weird and good ones should be posted here. I will adjust the requirements for the Community accordingly.
  3. Even if you are correct in everything you said, the point of this community is for people who enjoy these stories to share them and enjoy them. Regardless of a few technical inaccuracies on my part, Don don’t yuck our Yum. Thx

PS: if you wish to (and for those also reading this) — I encourage everyone to share your weird and funny generated stories anyway. If Apple intelligence is able to make these stories better in the future, all the better. Please share those as well!

It wasn’t my intention to come across as aggressive. Not trying to pick a fight here.

I’m honestly just curious about how some gen AI features are showing for you. If you are able to access them, I would love to reproduce what you did so that I could fiddle with the AI as well. I’m seeing the same bedtime stories on my iOS 17 / 18 devices and my Ventura Mac.

When ask iOS 18 Siri to tell me a story, I get the same handful of stories over and over. Mouse college friends, a spider with the spindly legs, ground squirrels, etc. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not sure what to tell you other than: don’t yuk other peoples’ yum.

If you don’t like it, move on. That just means this place isn’t for you. It does not mean that it’s for you to judge.
