I'm actually working on this haha.
It's definitely a v2 feature, but it's in the works
It's weird to think about, but data has a shelf life. Software needs to grow and be pruned regularly, or it dies.
Social media is both - the data dump is useless without an ecosystem of tools around it, and if the data itself stops interacting with the zeitgeist of the parent society, it basically becomes an old journal. It's interesting to a very specific group of people, and literally no one else wants to see it (aside from a few gems picked out and cleaned up for public consumption)
At any point we could go back to Reddits explosion after the digg migration. We could pull up posts that mirror exactly what's happening now. It'd be interesting for sure, and there's days of then-now posts that people could be making...but instead we just have people telling us about their memories of that process.
Why? Because that data is old and stale. You'd have to hunt it down with tools not intended for it, filter out the best of it, fix broken links, and probably put it through a slur filter
Probably something with sundials. ~6am going up to 12 at noon, then going 1-6pm if night and day are equal (I've never actually seen a sundial and I'm sure people got clever with them as time went on)
I mean a sundial doesn't even track hours so much as daylight before and after noon
Nah, that's not quite right.
Tiny federates with huge - nothing happens, they just exchange metadata. Dancer@tiny subs to something on huge - now you have one community, with a lot of updates, coming at tiny. Maybe it drops some. Still not an issue
Hugo@huge subs to something on tiny - now something@tiny is cached on huge, still not a problem.
Now something@tiny is in the feed on huge. A million people comment. This is a problem... For huge mostly. Over at little, people are commenting on something@tiny. They might see doubled up comments or orphaned comments, but mostly they just don't see most of the stuff from huge
So generally, it's not an issue. In certain situations, there will be hiccups, but it will keep chugging along
That's certainly what the companies believe, is it actually true though? Musk said everyone but the bots came crawling back... Without showing numbers
I think tech CEOs badly want to believe this is true, because it would be an easy solution to all their problems. And with everyone doing something similar, there's no competitor for them to jump to
I think they're about to realize no one has to go to them, entry were just the convenient choice. Once they're no longer convenient, people will turn elsewhere

What in an account? It's not the name or karma, because we have display names and no karma (I think it should be per community, but discussions on if we even want it are ongoing, maybe someone will come up with a really clever idea)
If it's your subs, saved posts/settings, and even getting notifications for responses to your posts/comments I'm building all that into an app. The only thing you obviously couldn't do is edit - but an account migration method in the federation spec is in the works
But I love decentralization, I think it's the answer to everything, and it needs to go further.
All important data should live on your device and be updated, and can be applied to a different account (even on a different server)
You should be able to talk to multiple servers at the same time. This one has me stuck in refactoring... But I'm pretty sure I've got it down, I just need sleep.
You should be able to do not just filtering, but sorting and discovery at the device level - I've got custom filters working, someone asked for a keyword filter, and I thought "that sounds like a bad idea, let's try it out". You can also go server by server and do searches, then if you like something, you hit subscribe and it'll tell your server to start pulling it in
I've also got plans to use voting to look at what communities and users you like most, and show you what they like. All without the data leaving your phone.
Centralization makes everything way easier, so it's a constant temptation. But we'll get more and more decentralized as time goes on.. I'll drag the fediverse in that direction kicking and screaming myself if I have to... This is too important to just let it become just
Luckily, a lot of the devs building for Lemmy feel that way - at every layer, we're asking what we can do to take it further q

I think he announces things before he's even spoken to the team. He took a lot from trump's playbook when they started hanging out

There's also a way to add matrix usernames to Lemmy accounts, so it's possible to make an app that ties the two together. Is that a feature people would care about?
