The new o1-preview model gave me much better and more precise answers than the 4o model.

I agree. Lemmy is not Twitter like, it is Reddit like, it is a forum.

I think we are now in a positive cycle:

• More and more useful comments are posted,
• Which means more people get interested,
• which attracts more and more people to the platform
• That increases the quality and quantity of posts/comments/etc.
• etc.

Also, check if your instance has a Status page and bookmark it.

That is the beauty of the Fediverse. If you don’t like how an instance is run, you can easily switch to another instance in Lemmy 0.19. We need to think of Lemmy instances as countries with their own laws, culture, and policies. So in my opinion, if you don’t like how an instance is run, you can easily switch to another instance.

Nah, I still find it “classie”

The other .ml instances had a .ml free domain. Lemmy.ml paid for the domain so it’s in no danger of losing it.

Edit: further proof that it is a paid domain:

This is the way to go. Lemmy/Kbin is a non-profit community initiative and we all need to do our part to ensure its success. Whether it’s helping with programming, creating new tools, helping with documentation, hosting instances, donating, and much more.

That way we’ll be free from platform enshittification.

I think this was much needed, thanks! I used to use Random on Reddit to discover new subreddits.

I disagree. To me, instances are like countries with their own constitution (rules) and police (mods). This means that two communities in different instances may seem the same, but they are not, because they have to follow the rules and culture of their instance.

Just like a PS5 club in Germany will not be the same as the PS5 club in the US because they will be culturally different. I think it will take some time for the Fediverse to think this way.

For me, this is better. Instead of having one giant technology community where your comments and posts are drowned out, we can have different technology communities with their own culture and norms, just like we visit different countries. Your comment and posts will be not drowned out.

It is a different paradigm to the centralised one of Reddit.

Exactly. Users who are involved in extremely niche communities will probably not find a place on Lemmy/Kbin yet. In 2008, reddit was the same. The politics subreddit only had 50,000 subscribers.

It’s all about momentum. The more users we have, the more engagement in niche communities, the more it’ll attract and retain users.

A platform can always be improved, always. Lemmy is alpha software now and the growing problems we had in the beginning may have annoyed some users.

I think the most important thing is to keep making improvements to attract new users. I’m already finding the content infinitely better than it was a month ago.

I suggest that you uninstall it and install it again. I resolved a lot of issues that way.

Memmy is my go to app and it shows the instance:

I wish I could use it, but one thing that stops me using it is that it doesn’t show the community instance. For example, if I’m in the Technology community, am I in Technology@lemmy.world or Technology@lemmy.ml?

If you look at the structure of the BBC, it’s an INDEPENDENT, publicly funded news organisation. The government has no say in its editorial. It has exposed many British government scandals in the past.
