Even so, .world will eventually enable parallel sending, and even in the meantime aussie.zone only boasts 375 MAUs. I empathize with their plight but it’s what, 0.6% of the Lemmy userbase? I don’t know that such a miniscule minority is worth bending over backwards for and creating further fragmentation.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for choosing instances other than .world when setting up new comms. They’re too big. But while we’re still at a point where content amount is the primary concern and we’re trying to achieve critical mass I also don’t know if endless fragmentation is well advised.

Funny how that works. Wonder if not mentioning it will help remedy that?

The fediverse, also known as the open social web that includes Mastodon, Meta’s Threads, Pixelfed, and other apps (…)

Mention Lemmy for once 😠

I agree. For stuff like Mastodon and Loops I really want “For You”, not a simple chronological feed.

I know this is a contentious topic around here but what’s the news of Loops’ recommendation algorithm? Does it have one?

That’s kind of a trend on the Fediverse to be honest. Mastodon has the same problem with their chronological-only feed.

Pudge you say? Colour me intrigued GG.

Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities I think, but it doesn’t really work very well. The Mastodon feed isn’t really made to support threaded content so all the Lemmy comments will fill and mess up your feed.

Huh. Haven’t seen a 70+ minute epic in a while.

Imagine giving ATF Timbersaw in the year of the lord 2025.

Spirit are just also extremely good at abusing a vision advantage, always have been. Good old times of Miposhka Treant etc.

My very first game of Dota like 20 odd years ago I was introduced to it by a friend’s older brother who played it and said this was the greatest WC3 custom map. We played him 1v3 and he proceeded to pick Nightstalker and absolutely violated us for half an hour into a solo win.

Good to see that an unchecked Nightstalker is still a menace all these years later.

Not quite a shellacking, but very dominant by Spirit so far.

Thanks for the heads up, I might try to catch Falcons vs Spirit later!

Mastodon and Lemmy have only limited interoperability. You can’t follow individual users on Lemmy, so most of it is one-way. Mastodon users can post to Lemmy communities by @-ing a specific community, and Lemmy users can then reply as normal and their replies will show up in the Mastodon users feed.

In general I think that backlash against algorithms went the wrong way. We poured the baby with the water.

I agree. As long as the microblogging side of the Fediverse has only a chronological feed I can’t see myself engaging with it. Mastodon just demands way too much work from the user for what the payoff is, at least to me.

I think mapping existing subreddits to Fediverse equivalents is a great idea and would be very helpful to have as a resource. Sub.Rehab did something to that nature, although I don’t think it’s being maintained anymore sadly.

However there’s a catch to posting to lemmy communities. It’s broken right now if there’s also a user with the same name as a community.

I’ve heard about this before and it sounds highly unfortunate. As I understand it there is no simple fix either.

I’m following it as well! Still waiting on some features for it to be my daily driver, but I love how responsive and active the dev seems to be.

I’ll keep an eye on it, thanks! I was looking at Thunder the other day actually since Sync is probably going to stop working eventually. Sadly I found it a little buggy and lacking some features, but I’ll follow its development for sure.
