Thanks for fixing my Lemmy notation!

https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities Is also a good source of active community information.

A few ways I’ve found communities that interest me:

• Community promotion communities such as https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo provide pointers to topics of interest.

• A good Lemmy client goes a long way toward facilitating content discovery; I’m a Voyager user, and it supports sorting Home (subscribed) and All (unsubscribed) post feeds in various ways including New, Active, Scaled, Controversial, etc.

• When I was new to Lemmy, I used Voyager’s subreddit migration tool to match communities with my interests (see https://vger.app/settings/reddit-migrate ) – I believe Artic and a number of other clients have similar functionality.

• Just browsing the All feed has helped me find communities (and compile a list of things to block!)

Thanks for clarifying!

Tailscale is also ridiculously easy to use for this purpose. The serve and Funnel features make secure self hosting really easy from your tailnet (one can easily provision certificates for nodes using Let’s Encrypt from the CLI: https://tailscale.com/blog/reintroducing-serve-funnel

Your point is well taken. However, there are communities where some of the bot posted content is just interesting enough to read, and I’m not sure that the owners of the rss@ or b0t@ accounts care much about their upvote / downvote ratios, but I suppose it could help some of Voyager’s sorting filters.

Is that an Android client specific option? I don’t see that item in Voyager 2.28 on iOS, but perhaps I haven’t had enough coffee.

As others have said, one’s view of Lemmy is highly dependent upon the instances and communities that one frequents. As someone who isn’t a habitué of politics, news, sport or meme communities, I’ve found my fellow lemmings to be pleasant, but I also believe that that is due to trying to be helpful and polite myself and being willing to apologize when warranted.

Same here! My mind struggled to align the image of kebab production with the concept of artificial spiritual guidance…

I hadn’t noticed that until now. Thanks!

This would be a great Kagi lens (https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/lenses.html ), perhaps for the Fediverse generally, rather than just for Lemmy. They already have one for Reddit, as well as a ‘small web’ one focused on small sites and non-commercial material.

In the absence of a US federal privacy law akin to the GPDR, many states have enacted laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) which grant varying rights to state residents, including the right to data deletion in some cases. Bloomberg Law has a helpful primer: https://pro.bloomberglaw.com/insights/privacy/state-privacy-legislation-tracker/#states-with-comprehensive-data-privacy-laws

Well put. Since we’ve co-opted this comment section with meta-commentary, I’ll also say that since LLMs came on the scene, I feel as if my sixth sense for AI text slop has become very refined; I can usually identify generative text within a few sentences, and stop reading.

Thank you!

Wow, how does that work? Does the font selector program generate a custom font file which gets deployed on each system? How does this work with printers?

I am at risk of becoming Lemmy’s resident curmudgeon with my protestations against clickbait headlines, and now a distaste for lazy and unappealing generative AI images in articles, which disincentivize reading the material. Not the poster’s fault, of course.

Fascinating! Really enjoyed learning about this.

I subscribed. Happy to support another homelab / self host community!

Accurate. Are you a summarization bot?

Perhaps it’s time to bring back the amenity that Singapore Airlines devised to handle this situation on their ultra-long-haul flights in the Airbus 340-500 – the corpse cupboard: https://simpleflying.com/singapore-airlines-airbus-a340-500-corpse-cupboards-history/
