For example, Threads supports audio posts, a feature not currently supported within ActivityPub, so Meta is experimenting with “federating” a text transcription of the original post instead of the audio version.
Personally, I’ve done some rounds of unsubscribing from tech and politics subs on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, and when I’ve done that my amount of toxic content and interactions went way down.
Maybe that’s a recommendation we should make to everyone
That, and the fact that simply there isn’t enough good discussion to begin with. This community kind of has movement because it’s a meta-topic, but for everything else it’s mostly "let’s pretend we are superior than redditors because we found our way here and “let’s pretend we are not in Reddit for all the other niche communities that we are still interested.”
That’s a real issue. Hopefully it will get better over time, but sometimes at the moment it feels like shouting into the void.
As you are on Lemmyworld, the link is pinned in your sidebar: p.lemmy.world
I agree that the default frontend can be improved, but there is only so much work the devs can do at the same time. There were rumours about a new frontend at some point, let’s see how it goes.
I did a search from shitjustworks for “reddit die” and did not find lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a “ping” sent out to notify all other federated instances....
This is a chance for any users, admins, or developers to ask anything they’d like to myself, @nutomic , SleeplessOne , or @phiresky about Lemmy, its future, and wider issues about the social media landscape today....
I just had an issue that might be interesting in your case. You can read it up on !newcommunities, but long story short, the mod of a community wasn’t happy with the way I wanted to bring some meta discussion into the community.
The main difference in this kind of situation between Lemmy and Reddit is that
the modlog (lemm.ee/modlog/408863) is public, allowing everyone to see what the mod did
it’s very easy to open another community, explain what went wrong with the other one, and keep things going.

New community for learning rust and lemmy

What are your thoughts on Lemmy's current search functionality?
Do you think it works okay, at least so far as local/federated communities go? What are some adjustments you might like to see to it?...
Update to 0.19.3?
Hello everyone,...
Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance.
I did a search from shitjustworks for “reddit die” and did not find lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a “ping” sent out to notify all other federated instances....
0.19.3 is now the most installed version (fedidb.org)
Good to see that most of the instances have caught up...
