I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

fediverse platform for a schools community network

I am looking to host a fediverse platform for a community of non-tech people. These people use mostly ig and some still fb. These people are from a network of schools which are ideologically aligned with libre software and decentralisation. It will include adults and also teenagers, who mostly use IG. This is part of a plan of a...

otter,

I think updates like that would do well on Mastodon, it’s the most popular right now so it has a wider reach / support. Similar to what would have been posted to Twitter before

otter,

Oh I didn’t know there was a new app coming out, is the original one being rebuilt?

otter,

There were a few episodes I didn’t like (first one, explovid19, space king), but that’s the case with any season

otter,

Just saw it, came back to delete this one lol

otter,

Thank you :)))

otter, (edited )

In the meantime, congrats for making this community the most active one!

I like this one 😊 Nice work on getting it going!

I agree that it’s silly to remove comments offering alternatives.

  • It will make people worry about if the decision is a fair one / one that the rest of the community agrees with
  • Other people are likely thinking the same thing, but they won’t see the explanation for why it’s not being pursued. That’s not as productive as openly explaining why

It’s totally fine to not want to merge, but responding in the thread would be better

otter,

We can celebrate it today :)

    Thank you, it’s been added to both!

    Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar

    otter,

    If there is a growing community that should be in this list, please comment it below.

    If you think a category should / should not be in this list, let us know. There are so many amazing communities, but we also don’t want this list to feel overwhelming.

    otter,

    Where abouts in the world was the little guy? That might help narrow things down too

    otter,

    A lot of it might come down to individual tasks or personal preference.

    Personally I liked Claude better than GTP3.5 for general queries, and I have yet to explore the other two

    Should we have a Star Wars instance?

    I previously posted this topic on the main Star Wars community, but it was removed for being too meta. Which is fair enough but it does leave is in a Catch 22 situation as you can’t exactly get a SW instance started if you can’t discuss starting one. Fortunately, @Blaze was kind enough to suggest this instance would be a...

    otter,

    I like topic specific instances, and it’s a cool way to organize the content. I’m almost always in support of new ones, and the few considerations I have for them are

    • who is running the instance
    • how can the instance build confidence that it will stick around

    The first point speaks to moderation practices and guidelines. If for example it’s being run by a fan community, then this could be really cool. If it’s run by the brand / owner of the IP, then they might remove criticism of the topic. The instance should also have some solid guidelines to prevent future issues.

    The second point is important for communities to grow on the instance. Lemmy.film was really cool and had potential, but it didn’t work out in the long run. No shame there, running an instance can be difficult/ time consuming. Some long term planning would inspire confidence, and that includes things like finances, team size, and how the team is structured.

    Dealing with those two areas would give the instance a solid foundation. Star Wars specifically has so much content that could be organized into communities

    otter,

    See if you can find a friend who owns a particular model and is comfortable letting you try it on. How it fits is the most important thing IMO.

    Samsung ones seem reliable, but one big downside is that the app (Galaxy Wearable), has a number of required permissions. The app does not function without them, even if you don’t need those features. I’m not sure what the workarounds are, and maybe you can make do without the app, but here is the list:

    • Calendar
    • Call logs
    • Contacts
    • Nearby Devices
    • Phone
    • SMS

    I didn’t want to promote any paid tool in the post. I’m currently paying for one of the more well known models, but I want to shop around. My plan right now is to find a pay as you go tool, so that I can use different models depending on what task each one is good at.

    If I’m going to pay for something, I want to vote with my wallet and go with the option that’s better for consumers

    otter,

    The way it’s standing ♥️

    otter,

    Yea I’d prefer to wait until it’s on fdroid proper

    otter,

    Hard to believe anyone makes apps for iOS, considering the hoops you have to jump through just to make it available to download.

    This is something I’ve heard, and assume is the case, but I don’t know the specifics of. What kind of hoops are there?
