I have an account that I use to read, but I’ve never posted on Mastodon. Decided to tweet after seeing this post and I see a privacy option called “Quiet Public - Fewer Algorithmic Fanfares”.

Seriously, wtf is this? What does that even mean? If techie people like me can’t figure out Mastodon then you can’t expect the general public to do that. I’m not blaming this feature in particular, but Mastodon is quirky in all the wrong ways.

Why does “World News” on lemmy.world give an ass about the American election season? Why was this not instituted during the elections which happened in India? We have like a billion people.

How can it connect to access points without a password? Every wifi/hotspot has passwords on by default.

I miss Gintama… Time for a rewatch

Is it just me or is a sample size of 7500 low for a population of 1 billion+?

It’s not good at displaying anime fansubs if they have complex typesetting. I have to use MPC-HC + madVR. Sadly those fansub styles are a dying breed…

I can’t believe how good Google’s Circle to Search actually is lol. The one in the picture looks like the Grey Blue variant.

What happened to the women in '15/'16 lol

Tasker? It’s provided an alternative for several years, it is literally the only paid app I know which does this.

Chole and rajma are goated

Yeah, I just joined as a reddit refugee because lemmy.world looked appealing. Had no idea it would effectively become the “defacto” instance of lemmy. Would be nice if communities spread out more.

Serious question, would having 100 comments every few seconds kill smaller instances? How well will the federation scale?

Honestly at this point there’s a fairly large number of instances so yours would need a selling point to even begin. And that’s before taking things like owner behaviour and strictness into consideration because the instance theme and tools will always be the first impression.

“Generic catch all instances” are common. You can only build up a user base if existing people are willing to ditch their own. What are yours doing that the current ones do not?

• Do you have a focus on a particular topic? I would consider posting a beautiful photo that I took on an instance dedicated to photography rather than the catch all one.
• Is your UI unique/pretty? Which leads me to the next point…
• Do you offer certain tools available/unique to your instance? 1) If yes, why can’t they be integrated with base lemmy? It’s open source after all. 2) If no for whatever reason (Lemmy devs slow to respond, low on their priority, will not accept, I don’t agree with their behaviour etc) is there a reason it cannot be included on other existing instances? Why is it exclusive to yours?

And then I would start looking at the details like what would uptime be, how much are you yourself making an effort to contribute and expand, etc

Coincidentally I just finished Narcos Mexico last week

Why do you need a community when that’s basically all of Lemmy?

^sorry couldn’t resist and don’t mean to offend^

Don’t forget Freed from Desire

Bollywood actors are hypocritical and never use their platform for good. Stopped watching them in theatres long time ago.
