Fediverse

I was looking for some collection of posts earlier about Proton Mail and the whole controversy with the CEO, and I opened a post the lemmy instance that was suggested was lemmy.zip but the community and the poster were from lemmy.world so that made me ask myself a bunch of questions. Reference link

Note: I used duckduckgo

Here are some questions I have:

• How does the search engine decide which instance to link you to as you could in theory show every instance for the same post?
• Could you get a result where all the results are the same post just different instances?
• Do you think that could deter new people finding out about lemmy through search results?
• How can an instance make themselves more visible in the search results (for exposure)?
• I did not get any results from lemmy clients such as vger.app the only results were direct instances, will this always be the case?

I remember learning about search engines a while back but I don't know how relevant that information is any more. Having crawlers and the more a website is linked in other websites the higher up in the search result will be and the whole robot.txt thing.

I know if I wanted to search for something specific in lemmy I could just use its own search function, but what about people who ask general questions and that happens to be answered in a lemmy post. I wanted to know how exposed we are/ will be to people who don't yet know about lemmy.

For anyone who wants an invitation to join mastodon.online, let me know! Like mastodon.social, it is one of the two official communities run by the Mastodon non-profit. The difference is that mastodon.online is invite-only.

Joining an invite-only server helps keep out spammers who target mastodon.social and lets someone be part of a more exclusive community. This can help someone have a better-quality mastodon experience, overall.

Of course, to keep out scammers, the invitation isn't open to just anyone who asks, they will have to have a posting history of some sort.

Given the different way they apps are structured I don't even know if it's a sensible question, but is there a way to subscribe to something on a Madison server?

The server as a community, or a tag as a community? Does mastodon have some other concept that I could subscribe to?

Mastodon dms are just posts with limited visibility, and a mention to the person recieving it. They don't seem to be compatible with lemmy.

I'm asking myself if exist something inside the fediverse where you can list your profiles and other people can Send you a message throw your most used app/profile without needing an sccount on that service, unify conversations throw different platforms and notify you if one person you follow in A service has a new profile in B service.

Something like a federated meeting point compatible with all ActivityPub developments. Does it exist?

Thanks!

I feel like everyone suggests following hashtags, but depending on the hashtag, I find the content that's being posted quite overwhelming when it comes to the amount of toots, and that it's hard to get an overview. Anyone that relates?

At the time of writing Summit for Lemmy should be completely open source.

After a lot of contemplation I've decided to open source the app. There are still some changes that probably need to happen before it can be considered "FOSS" but this is a huge step I think.

As I'm voiced my opinions on this previously, the main repository for Summit will not be to the public for PRs. If you encounter bugs or have any feature requests please continue to send them through the proper channels (ideally to this community).

Enjoy~~

Some notes on Sharkey-Lemmy interoperation

Sharkey-Lemmy Interoperation Notes

These are some as-I-went observations and notes, so not to be taken as comprehensive. For the most part I think it's pretty similar to Mastodon-Lemmy interactions, but others can chip in with anything different or that I may not have encountered.

Thought it'd be a good use of Sharkey's page feature to share like this. Pass it along if you find it helpful, or copy and improve and share your own variation!

Ok, this might be a dumb question, but is it really technically possible in any way - even a convoluted one, like manually downloading HTML pages from Facebook? - to mass import posts from one's Facebook into Mastodon or Friendica instead of painstakingly copying them one by one? I've got a 10+ year archive to port and it's a daunting task to go through them...

please help me, i want to post my art and some coding stuff i think some people might find interesting, but i don't want to flood or make it look like i'm spamming posts on a lemmy group!! and you can't post things on your profile. what other websites are there?? that are also fediverse? please. if not fediverse, then what other websites come to mind? thank you

The chat is open to all even without a user account!

How It Works

1. enter a command into chat
2. closets command to the 4 second check will get executed
3. Multiple viewers' inputs create chaotic and unpredictable gameplay

@fediverse Dumb question but do "likes" on #Mastodon automatically create up-votes on a #Lemmy post? I want to get a good grasp on the #Fediverse.

I made a Lemmy instance with a custom algorithm that keeps only the top 20% most unique (=interesting?) posts. It does this by calculating a similarity score between every post on my instance and all posts that came before it. The top 80% of posts with the highest self-similarity get removed instantly.

The idea would be that this allows me to cut through the noise that's running through the communities, similar to how xkcd-signal attempted to do 20 years ago.

The instance is mostly meant for reading, not posting. So it has a very open federation policy (for now).

If anything, this is experimental. So please let me know what you think! You can see the type of stuff that gets removed in the modlog (https://lemmy.coffee/modlog).
