I’m using Memmy, Mlem, Liftoff, Thunder and wefwef lmao

Haha, same here! I was so proud I knew what the title was referring to before reading the post. Lol

Is it really super high? It might not be very intuitive, but there’s nothing truly complicated. Maybe I’m out of touch.

As long as you make it clear in the sidebar, I think it’s perfectly fine IMHO

It’s not even that selfish because surprisingly you might even find a few people who like your content and subscribe! Lol

I’ve mentioned this game already in a few comments recently, but I think it really deserves more attention.

Prey (2017): I’ve loved it since the first moment, and I still think about the story and lore very often. It’s almost impossible to find a similar game (Bioshock 1 and System Shock 2 have quite some things in common with Prey, but the latter has its own unique vibe).

Maybe I’m wrong, but you would be fetching the content from all the other instances. The other instances would only need to fetch your content if someone searches for the communities you created. So, if you mostly post and comment on existing communities, the other instances wouldn’t have to do any extra work.

It’s like r/The_Donald but on the opposite end of the political spectrum

This is what the devs are saying: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977#issuecomment-1584337286

I don’t want to argue, so I’ll end it here.

You can fight for a better implementation, sure. Of course I would not be against that! I just personally fail to see the real issue with the way things are now on a public platform.

and that’s a feature haha

What about The Internet Archive? Search engines cache? Copies made by other people? etc.

This is a public platform; don’t share things you don’t want to be shared. You can’t truly expect anything being deleted forever everywhere.

The community here is much better IMHO

Much less toxic (I’m not talking about lemmygrad)

I don’t understand this question. This is a public platform, there are no secret messages or info. What do you mean by privacy? Hide what from whom?

See one of the two devs’ essays here for his political views: https://github.com/dessalines/essays

Having said that, you’re free to join a different instance (like the one I’m commenting from), if you have issues with that. I haven’t personally noticed anything actually problematic though.

Edit: quick answer -> definitely not neo-nazis, and probably not relevant either

Impossible to say now, but definitely quite a lot of them are not going to be regular users. I still hope/believe the majority will stay though.

Here is main takeaway from the abstract for those who don’t want to read the whole thing:

Through our experiments, we identify a key shortcoming of LLMs in terms of their causal inference skills, and show that these models achieve almost close to random performance on the task. This shortcoming is somewhat mitigated when we try to re-purpose LLMs for this skill via finetuning, but we find that these models still fail to generalize – they can only perform causal inference in in-distribution settings when variable names and textual expressions used in the queries are similar to those in the training set, but fail in out-of-distribution settings generated by perturbing these queries.

I know what to do here now /s

I don’t think so.

Workarounds for desktop usage:

• extensions to force opening all links in a new tab (example)
• just remember to use middle click instead of right click (or equivalent key for your device)

Super cool, thanks

While absolutely not important in the grand scheme of things, that day I opened the Twitter app and saw that fucking dogecoin icon as the splash screen, taking up all the screen real estate for a second or so, I was like: what am I even doing in this clownery of a platform??

If you want to use it just for yourself (thus removing the load of your own usage from the other public instances), sure.

If you intend to open it up for many users, you need to consider whether you’re capable of managing that kind of load. Lemmy is relatively lightweight though.

On my post here, you can find some informations about other people running an instance in the comments.
