A good chunk of those could’ve made accounts but not stayed long. And how do they get those numbers? Because there were many people who did accounts in more than one instance.

I honestly kind of can’t wait for the IPO, I just want to see what happens

I don’t love the idea of a neutral vote, because it would necessitate you voting on each and every post for them to stop showing up on your feed, which is actually how the “hide read posts” seems to work right now, but without the neutral vote.

And fuck it, it may be a hot take here, but I don’t dislike the idea of suggested posts showing up on your feed. It’s a great way to find new communities you wouldn’t have found otherwise, even if Reddit was a bit… heavy-handed in its approach

But yeah other than that your idea for showing the user the actual weights used for their suggestions algorithm does sound interesting, but I’m not sure how plausible it is (assuming many of these algorithms use machine learning and the weights are basically meaningless to humans)

The easiest way is to go to your instance’s search bar and look up “[email protected]”, in the case of this community. This should make it show up even if it wasn’t added to the instances “index” (I’m also new here idk the terminology all that well), as long as both instances are federated, which they most likely are. But yeah it doesn’t work on Jerboa yet. I used that to subscribe to the communities I wanted

Maybe you could use use site:lemmy.ml, because they federate with most instances, they’re likely to have most of lemmy’s content?

Nah those fucking 1%ers, they’re ruining the country! /s

Welp, I guess I now have to buy a cat, and an axolotl, and a ferret, and a drawing pad, and a tumblr account, and a 360hz monitor, and a-

Although it’s still missing the button to go to the next top level comment

The communities are mostly there, they’re just silent. Like ‘last post was two years ago’ silent. And like, I can’t create the huge volume of content I consumed there you know

I saw, I think on the infamous AMA, someone mentioning that on places like Reddit the users are conformed by around 90% lurkers, 9% active commenters, and 1% active posters. I fall on the 9%

But wait, can we see Mastodon from Lemmy?

Honestly that’s what I might end up doing. I’m staying away for as long as I can for the protest, but I don’t intend on leaving forever tbh. But once Lemmy matures enough I might make a full switch. For now most of the content I like from there is simply not here.
