On top of that, it’s apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.
Isn’t that kind of perfect though

TL;DR: Articles on mastodon will now automatically link to the author’s fediverse handle.
Seems like an essential feature to me. Curious to see if it’ll be in the beta.
I’m also watching the open book project.
If it just had epub support it’d be perfect
Unmanic to optimize your library in the background. Encoding things to x265 can buy you a huge amount of space.
Edit: Reading again i see that you’re on a pi. Not at all sure what the video encoding performance is on those.
Seems to me the most likely explanation is they got caught and fixed it.
This is super exciting. I think one of the things a lot of people are missing here is the potential for small wikis to augment existing fediverse communities. Reddit’s killer feature has always been the massive treasure trove of information for hobbyists and niche interests. There is huge potential in the fediverse to take advantage of that sort of natural collaborative knowledge building process.
I think the big reason that nobody’s mentioned yet is simply that they were earlier. Back when projects like Tox and Matrix were first starting to pop up, telegram was already fully formed. Signal didn’t come until at least a year later and didn’t have feature parity until several years later. Telegram by contrast was a much closer experience to WhatsApp and Messenger, making the transition much easier, particularly for low-tech knowledge users.
Worth noting, they have since publicly apologized

I don’t think it’s fair to write off the entire medium like that. They all share a common ancestor in Twitter and I think it’s fair to say the toxicity is inherited from there.
The biggest problem with traditional forums is the fact that participation requires yet another account. This is the most significant thing that discord has going for it, nearly everybody already has a discord account. Federated forums mostly solve this issue tho
This is some toxic lemmy culture bullshit.
That is for the fediverse overall. Most of that comes from Mastodon. I personally have a little more faith in fedidb.org and their numbers. Also, worth noting the criteria for active users on Lemmy was recently changed to include votes, whereas before it only counted comments and posts.
mastodon, bluesky, and lemmy are just going to be footnotes in history
Only if they squander their lead. So long as they innovate in ways befitting the fediverse form, they will probably maintain their position. That said, it seems to me like modular systems like bonfire will probably leapfrog the existing platforms pretty quickly.
Absolutely wild that this is a group of minors.
This is a particularly silly opinion because Lemmy is an algorithmic social media platform. It’s just an algorithm that you happen to have access to documentation for. Almost certainly, any fediverse algorithm would have to work on the same principles as Lemmy (open and based on public interactions). Likes and upvotes are king. User similarity ranking is wildly inefficient on the fediverse due to its distributed nature and keyword systems are easily gamed (although some hybrid is possible).
This has always been the killer feature of the fediverse. Open non-exploitative content algorithms. So weird to see people against it for no reason.
Posted elsewhere: Really I mean anything more advanced than keyword filters and grouped feeds. Performance friendly NLP has come a long way since the advent of RSS
Ok but for real tho. The average American severely underestimates how far you can get on rice, beans, lentils and chickpeas.
