You are allowed to discuss piracy. You aren’t allowed to facilitate piracy (I.e. providing links to pirated content). It is illegal in the country where this instance is hosted.

Not really - it isn’t prediction, it is early detection. Interpretive AI (finding and interpreting patterns) is way ahead of generative AI.

Like I said - there is a small vocal group who few that Lemmy as a whole should be boycotted due to the developers’ political views.

The Protestant Work Ethic equated Christian values with material success.

I think having a 300 year life span would tend to select for darker skin and possibly other traits that would better survive 300 years of exposure - enough to distinguish it from any existing ethnicity.

Some people are excessively sensitive to software developer political views.

Lemmy isn’t Kbin and Kbin isn’t Lemmy. Both are software participants in the fediverse. It is like saying nginx isn’t Apache: of course isn’t, but that doesn’t make them any less web servers.

People of the United States. Some take exception to calling them Americans when the entire continent is named "North America"

Bots that don’t identify as such count towards active users. There have been a number of bot purges.

Pro-tip: if you are trying to figure out if a website has a feature, try the default web interface first.

Someone mentioned there is a bug in the Hot algorithm that - if I remember correctly- judges hot based on the average upvotes for the community, so the first post of any new community is always hot.

 

This is particularly infuriating:

I’m editing a (often lengthy), and I’ll switch to the browser to look something up or get a link to something I want to reference. When I return to the app, it does a force reload and returns to the home feed, losing not only my place, but the content of what I typed.

 

Hello!

I was wondering if lemmy.world has any bot restrictions / throttling behavior? I have a bot (ported from reddit) that is performing the same activities on lemmy.world and fanaticus.social, but I'm seeing different behavior: on LW posts aren't being featured correctly and comments aren't being added. I'm not seeing any significant configuration differences, and they are running the same code - Is there a server side explanation for this?

If you have any other suggestions for good bot lemmetiquette, I'd definitely like to hear them!

 
  • If I select Home/Posts/All/Hot, new posts are appearing every few seconds. These posts don't have any upvotes, so I don't understand how they could be "Hot"
  • Broadly, it isn't ok for new feed items to keep moving around existing feed items. For example, I click on the image preview and I start to look at it, then it moves off my screen because new posts have been added to the top of the feed. When I scroll down to the post, the preview is collapsed.
  • Since top doesn't seem to have the same auto-update issue, I think a top/hour sort would be useful.
