Chozo,

The Princess Bride is definitely up there for me. I don't usually rewatch movies, but this is one that I'll always be glad to sit through again and again.

Chozo,

Common pirate mentality: anyone who has something I want doesn't deserve to have it.

Chozo,

Or you could just post piracy-related things in a piracy-focused community. This isn't Facebook, go post your drama there.

Chozo,

This thread is unnecessary bullying. If you don't like his take, then downvote him and move on with your life. Posting his username and comment in another community/instance is just poor taste and makes you seem a bit like a crybaby.

Chozo,

Kbin also has Mastodon integration (though it's still being worked on and isn't in its final form yet), which I think is handy because I'm hoping that Kbin doesn't defederate from Meta, so that I can also still have an account to keep in touch with people I care about who are going to be using Threads without having to manage another account elsewhere.

I also prefer the layout to Kbin better. While the stock Lemmy layout is nice (it does a fantastic job of emulating the old.reddit layout), I like the fact that Kbin shows a little bit more text about each post. It also keeps more data public (like your votes and reputation scores), which I actually prefer being out in the open, as it helps weed out people who may be giving bad faith arguments in various discussions.

Chozo,

I think we can already tell which one you dislike more.

Chozo,

Those platforms are notorious for selling counterfeit products. Whenever you see a deal that seems too good to be true, it more than likely is.

Chozo,

Good content will still be surfaced on its own

Will it, though? This all seems like untested theory, to be honest.

While SEO may have started as a means of manipulating search engines, search engines have grown to adopt to new SEO techniques and now use those techniques as part of their built-in ranking systems. Outside of content that goes truly "viral", I think it's pretty difficult to get anything new to the top of a Google search without some massive SEO these days. Especially considering the head start that bigger players have already gotten on their SEO game, and the sheer wealth of content that search engines have to parse through.

I think maybe if we were still in 2010's internet, that could be true. But search engines aren't the same as they were in the past. SEO is the new norm.

Chozo,

SEO really doesn't work organically, though. That's why there's a whole industry devoted to it.

Chozo,

Just curious, why not? Everything on the Fediverse is already public, by nature of federation. I think making the information shared here more easily discoverable is always a good thing.

Chozo,

Search engines have their own "trustworthiness" metric that they keep track of for sites they index. That's why you usually don't find malware in the top results for most searches, unless you're going down some already shady rabbit holes.

Chozo,

Yeah, I think a lot of the new Reddit refugees are failing to realize that Lemmy and the Fediverse existed before the recent migration and expect everything to just work the way they want, instead of how it's been working just fine without them for years. The Fediverse doesn't "belong" to them, and open connections are what this platform is built on.

Chozo,

I love Via 313, but it's gone downhill in recent years, unfortunately. The wait times are ridiculously long, the prices have skyrocketed, and the quality has lowered. Honestly, I could deal with the lower quality if either the price or the wait time went down. It's bad enough paying $15 for a small pan pizza, but it's even worse when it takes 90 minutes to get to you, after you've already been in line for 20 minutes.

Though, that's true for pretty much all the pizza places around here. They've all just gotten progressively worse, and it's really sad. :(

Chozo,

You Linux fanboys are the worst. If you don't have anything useful to add to the conversation, then just keep scrolling.

Chozo,

I had free Nitro for a few years because I was a partner. Only ever used it for making my username end in . Nothing else it offers is really that useful, imo. Especially for the price.

Chozo,

It looks like they're wanting to do a full rebrand as more of an actual social network, I think. Monetizing every single aspect of the platform sounds like a terrible way to go about it.

Chozo,

The devs aren't the ones making these decisions. That's like chewing out a customer support rep because their CEO did something you didn't like. Aim your anger more carefully.

How to make subscribed feed more diversed?

Hi guys, I’m on lemmy since the reddit api announcement and am subscribed to tens of communities. When I’m setting my feed to watch topics only from Subscribed communities (hot/active), I see a lot of topics from the same communities, like 10 topics in a row from 1 community then 3 from a different one and again from the...

Chozo,

I recommend that everybody keep two accounts on their instance of choice (as long as this is within the rules of your instance). Keep one account for all the "brain on" stuff, and one account for the "brain off' stuff. You know what I mean, interpret it how you like.

If you're using one of the mobile apps, most of them support very easy quick account switching, which makes this even easier on your phone. It definitely makes it a lot more manageable, in my experience.

Chozo,

Gotta say, I liked seeing this on Trust Cafe's FAQs:

Is Trust Café a 'Free Speech Platform'?
No. Emphatically not. Trust Café's mission is to provide a non-toxic social media platform, which cannot happen in an environment where anything goes. We take a proactive stance against hate speech, harassment, and misinformation.

Chozo,

I don't get why this would be a problem. It's just a poster image.

Hell, even if they used AI for the in-show VFX, I still don't see why it would be an issue. Almost all VFX for the last several years have been using some level of AI tools.

Chozo,

Yep, most phones these days come apart by using a heat gun to loosen up the adhesive, then you slice through the adhesive with a plastic blade, and then some strong suction cups to pull the screen/back off. Which means that you need to reapply the adhesive when you put it back together again.

It's a colossal, time-consuming pain in the ass. Especially if you don't know where the cables are that connect the screen to the board, as you can slice through them and be left with another part to replace.

Chozo,

App development will probably be slow for a bit. As others have mentioned, Artemis is in development, but because Kbin doesn't have a public API yet, I believe that Artemis is having to use their own web scraping method as a stop-gap until the API is released. I imagine that's probably a taxing process for the dev's server to handle, which is probably why the private beta is having such a slow rollout.

Once the API goes live, I imagine there will probably be several apps that pop up pretty quickly.

Is it possible to see exactly which users liked, and disliked a post?

In the official browser app, and any of the mobile apps that I have examined so far, it seems that you are only ever able to see the total number of likes, or dislikes that a post has, and you are not able to see exactly who upvoted, or downvoted the post. Does ActivityPub, or Lemmy track this information at all, or does it just...

Chozo,

On Kbin, your comment has 0 upvotes and 0 downvotes (at the time of writing this), but when I view your comment from the original instance, it shows a score of 1.

So I guess lemmy.ml defaults comments at 1 point.

EDIT: Immediately refreshed the original instance, and I'm also at 1 point within 3 seconds of posting. So yeah, that seems to just be the default score. And upvoting my own comment didn't change the score on lemmy.ml. But also, I upvoted your comment, and you're still at 1 point on lemmy.ml. So I dunno if that's a sync issue, or if "unscored" and "1 upvote" both equal "1" on the original instance.

Chozo,

I see 2 upvotes and 0 downvotes to your earlier comment on Kbin, but still only +1 on the original instance.

Chozo,

You should be able to search them in the same format as you'd search for federated Lemmy communities. For instance, !askkbin@kbin.social should let you access Kbin's version of this community (assuming I know how to format the text correctly).

From there, you can subscribe to it from within your instance on lemmy.ml, and it'll show up in your feed as the rest of your content.
