Yea. Even nicer if it could be adjusted on a post-by-post basis (however viable that is).

It’s definitely an interesting and relevant idea I think! A major flaw here is the lack of ability for communities to establish themselves as discrete spaces desperate from the doomscrolling crowd.

A problem with the fediverse on the whole IMO, as community building is IMO what it should be focusing on.

Generally decentralisation makes things like this difficult, AFAIU. Lemmy has things like private and local only communities in the works that will get you there. But then discovery becomes a problem which probably requires some additional features too.

Oh yea I hear you.

Just recently read your 2017 article on the different parts of the “Free Network”, where it was new to me just how much the Star Trek federation was used and invoked. So definitely interesting to see that here too!

Aesthetically, the fedigram is clearly the most appealing out of all of these. For me at least.

It seems though that using the pentagram may have been a misstep given how controversial it seems to be (easy to forget if you’re not in those sort of spaces). I liked the less pentagram styled versions at the bottom. I wonder if a different geometry could be used?

Cheers! Very much appreciate the love!

Cheers! Actually not sure exactly why you’re saying this (I’ll take the good vibes though) … but if you’re keen to join in in any way you are most welcome!

Cheers for the shout out! Yea the idea of that community is to be a kind of study group.

Whenever I’ve posted a thought or idea, that’s part question part experiment part pondering, I’ve gotten great replies from others.

Also two people have been running twitch streams of running through the book. Sorrybook is nearly done I think (they’ve been going for half a year now which is quite impressive).

The community is at a point now I suspect where some of us have learnt rust well enough to spread out into projects etc, so it’d be nice to work out how we can do that together at all.

Part of my initial idea with the community was to then have a study group for working through the lemmy codebase, treating it as a helpfully relevant learning opportunity … as we’re all using it, we all probably have features we’d like to add, and the devs and users of it are all right here for feedback.

Additionally, an idea I’ve been mulling over, one which I’d be interested in feedback on … is running further “learning rust” sessions where some of us, including those of us who’ve just “learned” it, actually try to help teach it to new comers.

Having a foundation of material such as “The Book” would make a lot of sense. Where “local teachers” could contribute I think is in posting their own thoughts and perspectives on what is important to take away, what additional ideas, structures or broader connections are worth remembering, and even coming up with little exercises that “learners” could go through and then get feedback on from the “teachers”.

I know, but Unicode is big. I’m saying that there may very well be something better.

I appreciate the argument, but I feel like there’s too much of a chance that we can do better with something in unicode. Or, that this isn’t really good enough. Three asterisks is just too meh, IMO, to catch on.

⁂ … to me right now just looks like a splodge on the screen.

Somewhat unfortunately, the pentagram in the older icon probably can’t really be used without some cartoon-ification, because reasons.

Glad to help!!

I suppose pointing out MS also owns linkedin isn’t the talk down you’re looking for?

If you’re a dev, this along with GitHub, and your employer using teams, is a pretty severe panopticon.

I have no idea about threads and personally don’t want to. You may find a fair amount of lemmy instances blocking threads though, compared to mastodon instances at least.

As I say in my comments, the community only needs to be tagged first of all tagged entities.

Putting it on the first line isn’t necessary and can be annoying as it will occur in the title of the post on lemmy.

The main issue you’re likely to run into is that lemmy only respects the first “at”-ed entity, whether community or masto user.

I made a brief guide here: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095

What’s more, is it is posted to the test community on lemmy.ml, so you can find there too (link: https://lemmy.ml/post/1142168). A few people replied so you can see the whole federation thing happen too.

It is really the only way to fuse the two systems (posting from masto to lemmy), so please do this as much as you can!

But remote development is a killer feature to me and they seem to be prioritizing it.

Which is definitely interesting and cool. (Also, before this AI “moment”, their main selling point, along with taking graphics more seriously, and rust I suppose).

Are we really THAT car centric now that it’s this normalized to be like “fuck my living room, fuck my TV, fuck my couch, I just wanna sit in my car all day?”

Yes … that’s the problem.

To be fair though, I imagine there’s a lot of people just enjoying their own mobile private space away from others. But yea, this is the problem, we’ve dedicated so much of our city’s space to cars and roads, that the car can be kinda all we have left. And then it’s infectious. Sure it might be nice to hang out in your mobile space near a park or the beach … but then there’s a car park for all of the cars … taking up space which could just be more park land or beach front.

Am I correct in thinking that television at lemmy world has no moderators? (And only bots are listed)??

It’s rare to se blog posts doing simple i/o without resorting to some parsing framework or other. Learning about the SQLite file format is nice too.

Yep, especially as it’s basically a standard data storage format, it’s good to have awareness and parsing capabilities for it broadcast around the place.

I mean he’s walking right into this isn’t he!
