  • The problem I see with this idea is that I have no idea who most people are on “my” instance or what sort of content they’re interested in. Even for a topic based instance like https://startrek.website/, outside of Star Trek, what are the chances that the interests of the members align?

    The Lemmy developers were working on making user defined custom feeds. If that ever get implemented, I’d certainly give many ideas a try. But the Lemmy devs don’t have any new feed options on their priority list and I doubt they will anytime soon.

    The main dev (only dev?) of piefed seems much more likely to implement new ideas. For example, I had mentioned that only votes from a community’s subscribers should be counted on posts to said community by default with the owner of the community given an option to count all votes. It was implemented within days.



















  • People here are satisfied with using the ActivityPub services and content with slow growth of a now sustainable but relatively small user group.

    The people who want to use bsky just want a better Twitter. And bsky has delivered that. If that’s temporary, it’s better for them to use it while it lasts because Mastodon is absolutely not what those people using bsky want. Mastodon to them is technically worse than Twitter but something they may settle for if bsky wasn’t an option.
