  • I recently dipped my toe into Linux with a raspberry pi and couldn't figure out why Firefox was so laggy. I thought maybe I did something wrong.

    What are some niche communities on Lemmy do you think do not get enough attention but in your opinion are secretly awesome?

  • It's basically just chess themed memes and shitposts, heavy on the latter.

  • Ex Redditors of Lemmy what made you come on over? What happened at Reddit that you made the switch?

  • I'm probably going to explain it poorly, because I'm not a computer science person, but the fediverse is the umbrella term for the all the independent and interconnected servers using the same protocol to communicate and build federated social media. Meaning it's not centrally controlled, like we're a bunch of ships at sea tied together instead of all using the same port owned by one entity (like reddit).

    So, Lemmy and a few others for something reddit-style, Mastodon for something twitter style, and so on. All would fall under the umbrella of the "fediverse".

    As for getting involved, you could try to add content to attract people here and entertain those who already are (that's what I've been doing), or if you're tech-savvy, you could even create your own federated instance.

  • I like the idea of decentralized social media. Having a single for-profit company moderating all content feels sleazy.

    The beauty of the fediverse is that there's independent competition. If you don't like how a certain space is being run, you can choose another or create your own. It's ironically very "free-market capitalistic", in contrast to the political leanings of the user-base. Lol

    Why is my Twitter feed full of right-wing content when I don't consume political content?

    Jump

  • It's a total culture shock any time I check twitter. After browsing user-moderated spaces (like lemmy or reddit) for so long, I've gotten used to very rarely seeing anything more than a mildly conservative opinion. Seeing extreme right-wing stuff, outside of spammers trying to shock people, is almost non-existent.

    Then you open twitter and get reminded what largely unmoderated internet looks like again.

    There's still good content mixed in with everything, but right wing outrage bait is absolutely winning the algorithm battle over there.
