Empty input Or input of exactly 1 character Or input of at least 2 characters, followed by at least 1 something (idk what \1 matches)

Did I get it (almost)?

You'll be lucky to get a couple up votes.

It's like streaming with no viewers, only the activity you've doing isn't something fun you'd be doing anyways, eg gaming

How about no, that sounds super depressing

Why would I do that? That doesn't get anyone what they want

I like it, but that's not the model Lemmy was built around.

It'd be neat if, instead of posting to a community you posted to your instance and tagged your post with a topic, and then instances could contain topic aggregators with moderators that moderated their local view of the topic.

But even that comes with challenges around protection at-risk people like kids, where nobody is fully able to control the discourse around them.

Exactly

Someone has already created my niche community, and there are 2 people in it, and it hasn't grown since I joined, and that makes the conversations in it boring af

There are lots of reasons to want alternatives to social media mega-corps, and the people with those reasons have varied likes and hobbies.
Even amongst the people who care about privacy, decentralization, etc, people still have varied interests. All you have to do is look at the popularity of Tiktok content about privacy, security, programming, etc.

Dude is a basement dweller, and just assumed that was the norm for everyone who shared an interest with him.

I have my own thoughts about hurdles that loops will face, but "fediverse is for snobs" isn't it.

Lamest flex in history

Because the constraints make it interesting
I want the length limits.

Yeah, the fediverse would be much better place without narcissistic gatekeeps like you here to bring the mood down all the time.

What an absolute neckbeard take

I'm interested, and I hope it's successful.

I'm not sure how they're going to attract creators, when Tiktok already has the same features, has a larger audience, and pays... But I hope they can because I'd love to dump Tiktok for something open source.

I wonder how their FYP will work, because honestly that's a huge part of what makes Tiktok good.
