Maybe turning mastodon and pixelfed tags into communities and figuring out how to better integrate there would provide more and interesting content

yeah, i’ve been thinking about the same thing. how to properly embed mastodon content into Lemmy? Maybe one community for each poster? Is that the right approach?

Or should one Mastodon hashtag turn into one Lemmy community?

mostly these

Reddit’s algo

in fact i have been asking for a better Lemmy content recommendation system here

my take is that 1. you don’t need equal supply year-through because big consumers should be able to sleep and reduce their energy intake in the winter. yes i know that is complicated, but sleep is also complicated in nature and evolution still pulled through with it because it does pay off in the long term.

secondly, storage can also be renewable biomass. i have some napkin math sitting around somewhere on my disk that says that about 5% of the yearly energy demand can be covered with basically non-cost “waste” biomass that’s basically being burned to get rid of it today. I actually wanted to write a longer post about it in the !bathtubthoughts@discuss.tchncs.de community, i just couldn’t figure out how to properly present my calculations yet.

i am still surprised that 800 people commented. i never saw 800 people under a single post so it must be pretty dang important to people

It was never about not having gatekeepers, it’s about being able to choose who the gatekeeper(s) is/are.

I really feel you. I recently started aggressively blocking all politics-related communities. It does help a lot. Feed is much emptier, obviously, but it’s still the right move i guess.

i don’t know

ooh, SoftestSapphic, i remember seeing your memes :) i liked them

I have thought the same thing but i don’t think the distinctions will be so clear after all because even today, there’s people from China connecting to western internet via VPN. i have some in a chat group i’m in btw.

So yeah, i think some proximity metric would help people to find stuff “near them” - either geographically or content-wise. Like, i’d actually like there to be an easy way to find communities and people near me geographically. It would probably help me make friends and find people that i can be in contact with IRL.

That’s why i run the !mars@discuss.tchncs.de community. It’s a very niche interest topic but i found no other good-quality community discussing martian settlement so i made my own. And i figure if the quality is good enough, it might be enough to bring in other users from other platforms simply to have good discussions.

I have checked the mars subreddit on Reddit but it’s full of idiots and people who are just generic naysayers or people who saw 1 youtube video and now think they’re experts or sth.

Maybe you could share a screenshot that includes the address bar instead? 🤣️

What do you think of a content filter setup when you register the account like this:

Effectively, when you click “no politics”, it blocks the !News@lemmy.world, !politics@lemmy.world, !politicalmemes@lemmy.world, !pravda_news@news.abolish.capital communities and such.

Ok, so from a user’s perspective, where would Mastodon content appear in your Lemmy feed?

the only way to not have an echo chamber where people vote with their emotions is to have an enlightened gnosticism user-base which is obviously very difficult to get and nurture but i’m trying :)

the best way to do this is to cultivate an atmosphere of discussion and in-depth thought regularly, which you can do by engaging with these discussions and seeking enlightenment yourself.

Technically, there’s only two sources of energy in the universe: nuclear energy and the expansion of the cosmos.

Like, solar is fusion, ofc, the light coming from the sun. So is wind and water and bioenergy (indirectly). Geothermal is fission (heat comes from radioactive decay inside Earth).

But then there’s another source of energy that nobody ever talks about: tidal power It works by converting the rise and fall of water with the tides into electrical energy. This energy ultimately comes from the moon orbiting around Earth, more precisely, its mechanical energy: The fact that the moon is distant from Earth is only because the universe expanded after the big bang. Had it not done this, the moon and earth would be located at the same location, and there would be no “orbiting” to extract energy out of :P

I just made a post about this here

it was more a joke about the “free guitar lessons” - well, now i only need a guitar to begin :P

so you are saying that each author should represent their own community that they populate with posts each time they post something
