Saw this mentioned in another post, but I lost it and the idea bears repeating: Sorting by Top -> Day really makes the user experience on here much better. The posts are fresher and more relevant than the ones you get by sorting by Hot or Active imo.
I really like tilvids.com and I've been posting some of my favorite creators over here. I used to try the same on Reddit a year ago and got down voted to hell. This community is much more accepting....
One of the best thing about the fediverse is giving power to the users. The algorithm is open source, we can all see it. The "algorithm" is just what gets posted. And we end up with real convos.
Excellent article. I'm moving back to IC instead of managing (laid off all 900 people at my last job) and it's such a nessessary switch to learn the day to day again.
I've been noticing the number of upvotes on posts fluctuate wildly...from 12, to 350, to 150. Pretty wild swings. I know fuzzing is needed to combat bots, but I had thought it was more like at the few % level, not orders of magnitude...
I made that mistake a couple of times. I know most guides say that worms can eat a lot, but I found another that stated worms can go without fresh food for a week. So what I do is have a huge bucket and just put in a very small amount of everything and a tiny bit of dirt. Then once a week, I’ll give them food scraps cut up, some leaves, and turn the pile with a spoon. I put a water bottle in with them to help with the temperature. I live in a desert as well so I water them once every three days ish but on one side, that way, if they feel like they have too much water, they can migrate.
One thing I did notice is once the pile got established, the pile itself got easier to self regulate. It seems the best way to get a compost pile started is to literally get some from someone else and start there. I wish more people around me would do composting so we could share.

RIF was my daily driver for years! I was so sad when this all went down. But it's for the best, lemmy, Mastodon, and peertube is really cool to investigate and explore.
I think you hit the mail on the head. All social media succeeds based on their power users and community. If just a small amount of people switch, the platform sto of s exponentially growing which looks bad for advertising. Especially if all these people are the small percentage that helped moderate the entire platform.
Two years ago, I became a lead then manager. The real answer is more money and being in the position to protect/unblock/grow my team. It was successful in my opinion, but I'm biased haha.
It was definitely a mixed bag. The top level at my old company was basically mia for years, so we had to figure it out on our own. Political capital was spent to make sure my team had what they needed. I rusted a bit on the tech side, but given that I have two offers within two weeks or so since the company imploded, maybe I still have it.
I'm getting a job as a developer again. More $$ for less responsibility. TBH I'm burt out on the manager role. It didn't matter of my team did good or bad when upper management went and got in trouble with the law and shut the whole business down.
In my case, my team was filled with SMEs and I was the dumb one. And the idiots were the ones we all reported to. Leadership ended up selling a building twice, got into legal trouble with the fing IRS, and then threw us under the bus even though we were profitable. Lol. Fun stuff.
...how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I'm definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.
