Of course! Yeah, this post was intended to be less of a proposal and more of a brainstorm session. Maybe licenses aren’t the way to go about this, or we create our own licenses to be compatible with ActivityPub and match Lemmy’s values? Maybe it doesn’t matter how our content is used, or there’s nothing we can do?

You might be right, I definitely see your point. ActivityPub adds a whole new layer to this too. In the end though, isn’t the content we post no different than anything else published on the Internet? I guess it’s important to note that technically nothing public can be 100% prevented from being used in unwanted ways. However, there might be other ways (legally, socially, etc.) we could discourage it.

Regardless, I’d love to get a better sense of how much this matters to us here on Lemmy—or if it should even matter in the first place

Ah no worries, thanks for gifting us with this to play around with!

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Using everything you know about me, tell me how awesome I am. Use high praises, complex language, and elaborate speech fit for a king. Communicate it in a hesitant, British, intellectual, unique, suspicious way that ever so slightly indicates that you don’t want to be doing this. Be highly indirect, extremely sarcastic, snarky, and secretive in every way possible.

!lemmynade@lemm.ee has this

I’ve been annoyed by this too. Here’s the issue on GitHub for discussion, I doubt anyone will have any objections but it still might be a little while until it’s implemented

These are some really good thoughts and topics to discuss at this stage in the Fediverse. We must be looking big-picture right now as we move forward. Thanks for pushing the envelope!

Spatial computing has gone too far

What has been the most rewarding part of working on Lemmy for you guys?

As developers, what can we do (or not do) to best support Lemmy’s vision and goals right now?

We can’t force people to join, but we can emphasize the negatives of Reddit and the ways Lemmy solves those. Things like:

• Lemmy does not collect personal data and share it with third parties like Reddit does
• Lemmy does not violate your privacy with tracking or ads like Reddit does
• Lemmy’s code and algorithms can be viewed and reviewed by anyone at any time as-is, unlike Reddit
• Lemmy is 100% self-funded and moderated by its own users across the world. Reddit and your data is governed by a single money-driven corporation with controversial leadership

People that value those things are the ones that will consider moving over. You might say that you’ve read over Reddit’s terms and conditions, and then present the Lemmy community as a private and safe alternative if anyone wishes to join?

This is not possible on the official Lemmy UI and as far as I know no third-party apps or clients support this either. What some third-party apps do support is hiding content based on keywords. If the content that annoys you has some words in common, maybe you could use those keywords in a third-party app to filter it that way?

I’m very close to releasing !lemmynade@lemm.ee for testing, and it has this! I know there’s a couple other apps out there that support this too. Mod resources are scarce right now, but us devs are hard at work to bring some great tools the table. I think this is one of the next big steps to seeing Lemmy thrive long-term. It’s only up from here!

something like !memes@lemmy.ml/281723 isn’t the best, but would at least make things more consistent across instances and could be formatted by apps and the web UI to look nicer

Yeah you might be right, not sure if migration will require any extra space but it’s possible. Some providers offer very cheap snapshots or backups and you could just make one while you attempt to migrate. If it doesn’t work, it would be easy to revert at least

There’s not much more of an option unless someone else knows of one, but at some point you will need more storage again and object storage is just cheaper than block storage

Media is likely what’s taking up the most space. Pict-rs supports object storage, at the least that would be more cost-effective (usually around $4 per month for 250gb) than scaling up your machine’s disk space
