There's a multitude of proposed improvements and changes being made to lemmy, so it's something.

I'm trying my best to start up lemmyloves.art and it seems to be going pretty good so far

That’s nice grandpa let’s get you back to bed

https://fedi.buzz is one for hashtags (might break soon) https://feditrends.com/ is one for articles https://mastodon.social/@TrendingBot <- extremely useful if you are on a small hosted instance

theres also https://fedi.directory/ that provides info

the biggest thing when it comes to the fediverse though is that it's absent of an algorithm. thats the intention. you populate the content you see. so the key is to follow every single hashtag that interests you and itll start to populate it for you. if you are on a smaller instance there are also a.gup.pe groups which collect stuff for you

why is this radiating "Mom said its my turn on the xbox!" energy

I want to see it again in theaters tbh it was an experience

I am very hopeful it fails and gets enough push back.

damn I didn't know that they turned into the male equivalent of MLM boss babes

Oh wow no wonder I've gotten quite a few sign ups! Thank you for the boost! It's seriously appreciated :)

The transparency is appreciated.

Next time the lemmy join page needs to be improved so people can spread and don't try to centralize into a single instance and break the purpose of lemmy in the first place.

I don't think it has more or less drama compared to other social networks, I think it's more so that it's just easier to pick up on drama that normally gets lost throughout all the noise on bigger platforms. r/subredditdrama and r/drama are GIANT and really difficult to keep up with. There reaches a point where all the drama on a social media site it just blends into all the noise most of the time unless it affects the entire site. It takes alot to truly fuck shit up, like poor business decisions (ahem...) or major inter community strife.

Alongside that in comparison to centralized social media, if an instance is a hot bed for drama and toxicity? It might be time to move to a different one.

The issue most have people have is with privacy concerns, so since the data doesn't show usernames it should potentially be OK? I'm unsure, but I personally feel that its likely fine since there really aren't any "local only" communities in lemmy yet.

Libby, freaking love audiobooks.

Yeah having the ability to properly interact with book/writing communities from this instance would be nice. As well as being able to interact well with mastodon.art from lemmyloves.art and vice versa.

That and or account relays to be able to follow accounts on masto from lemmy at least would be nice

oh hey yeah i never got notified of this LOL

I didn’t take it personally. It was just really aggressive and rude hence why I pointed it out as such. Saying that I have something in common with book banners was just not needed.

@JackbyDev@programming.dev was more than capable of doing so without being a condescending asshole, so it’s possible.

Chill out the hell out and stop being so condescending. We aren’t bringing that shit over from Reddit. And no, I didn’t think you were someone else.
