atypicaloddity,

I think I read something about how when you block a domain, it only blocks content hosted on that domain. But a text post, for instance, gets copied over to your instance and served from there, so it's still visible. That's why there's so many posts from "kbin.social" that are actually from Lemmy.

If that's the case here, then better blocking is needed.

OC Question: Why are some instances defederating instances which don't sign the fedipact?

Something I don't understand currently about the whole Meta/Threads debacle is why I'm seeing talk about instances which choose to federate with Threads themselves being defederated. I have an account on mastodon.social, one of the instances which has not signed the fedipact, and I've had people from other instances warn me that...

atypicaloddity,

What frustrates me is that it makes total sense for people who want their own corner of the fediverse to defederate liberally and keep their community small. Not every instance is trying to be Reddit; some are basically a special-interests messageboard.

But the fedipact is not a group of people building their own more private network, it's just culture war and bullying. Instead of being a positive, it's all negative.

atypicaloddity,

30mil users already, as per Zuck himself on Threads.

Careful, he's a hero

atypicaloddity,

I've made this 3 times and every time I can't get the sauce to emulsify. I've heard asking extra starch can help.

How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you?

I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

atypicaloddity,

Still full time remote here. Actually, I'm in the office today for a going-away party for a coworker, but I generally go in once a month or so for town hall meetings and that's it.

"Antiwoke" magazin on kbin.social posting bullshit like "how to end Wokeness" and "Time to reject the extrem trans lobby harming our society" How to report ? he is the moderator of that magazin. (calckey.social)

@ernest how do I report a Magazin on kbin.social ? There is a usere called "ps" who is posting to his own "antiwoke" Magazin on kbin.social. Please remove this and dont give them a chance to etablish them self on kbin.social. When I report his stuff it will go to him because he is the moderator of the magazin? Seems like a...

atypicaloddity,

Agreed, that's part of my problem with generalist instances. They're so broad that they serve multiple communities with differing expectations, and it forces admins to take sides.

atypicaloddity,

Fair, but this isn't just free money for grocery stores -- it's no-strings-attached cash that will be spent where people most need it. Which, yes, will be groceries for a lot of people.

I don't like the handling of grocery gouging, but this specific rebate is not the problem.

atypicaloddity,

I think it was the polling. Once it came down to the wire, a lot of anyone-but-Chow voters backed the person most likely to beat her.

atypicaloddity,

My wife and I's first date was at a boardgame cafe. We haven't had a chance to check out any of the cafes in our new city yet, though.

You might want to add some more tags to this magazine -- it will help pull in more content. For instance,

atypicaloddity,

That's actually pretty funny

atypicaloddity,

I recently found pickled radishes at a farmer's market. So good!

atypicaloddity,

I think part of the issue is that all the different Lemmy and kbin instances are trying to be Reddit themselves. By which I mean there are a bunch of instances with no focus. They're all "kitchen sink" instances, each with their own Politics, Tech, Cats, etc.

Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, kbin.social, fedia.io. All of them are generic reddit alternatives, but the real reddit alternative is the amalgamation of subscriptions from multiple more focused instances.

Startrek.website is a great example of the opposite: it's an instance focused on one topic, where some people will want to sign up as a user and others will want to just subscribe to one of their three (!) boards from their own instance. They don't need their own Politics topic, users on the site that care about it will subscribe to a politics topic from another instance. The startrek admins and mods only have to care about their one focus.

My ideal fediverse feed would be pulling individual topics from a few dozen more focused instances instead of one generalist instance. I think that's what's going to end up happening.

atypicaloddity,

You don't need more than one account. You just decide which instance you want an account on, then subscribe to all the topics you care about across multiple instances. I just think that generalist instances with thousands of local topics are unnecessary.

atypicaloddity,

You don't have to sign up on multiple sites, you just subscribe to specific channels you care about from the site you signed up for. For instance, signing up to lemmy.ml's Politics, Lemmy.world's Tech, and fedia.io's Cats.

For instance, here's a link to !startrek that you can interact with and subscribe to from your Lemmy.ml account: https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek@startrek.website

atypicaloddity,

Comment whenever you want, but based on Reddit I wouldn't expect a reply after a thread is more than ~2 days old. That may end up being different here.

atypicaloddity,

The reason I'm on kbin right now is that it supports Mastodon etc in its Microblog sections -- if Lemmy did as well I'd probably move there.

atypicaloddity,

I wouldn't trust her opinion on what's funny.

atypicaloddity,

It happened a while back and is just popping up again now because they're capitalizing on the Reddit drama. So I don't really have an opinion on them -- hacking bad, etc but I don't really care.

atypicaloddity,

A post to fediverse@lemmy.world exists on lemmy.world and is mirrored to other sites, where users can see it and comment on it (and those comments are also visible on lemmy.world.

But it wouldn't appear as a post in fediverse@lemmy.ml.

atypicaloddity,

And that's fine. If I make my own kbin instance for my friends and make a magazine called startrek filled with longform erotic roleplay about Picard, our posts shouldn't be automatically bundled into startrek@startrek.website's. Magazines with the same name on different instances don't necessarily cover the same topics.

If you're on kbin and want to be part of the startrek.website community, just subscribe to their magazine instead: https://kbin.social/m/startrek@startrek.website

atypicaloddity,

I mean Reddit itself started as a content aggregator. It wasn't until it had built up enough of a userbase that it started creating its own content.

But it definitely feels a bit weird to be so focused on another site's content.

atypicaloddity,
