  • To use bonfire, to be even more local (me and the other admin actually live in the same province) and because apparently my social circles are too attached to telegram to post in the open web questions that they can make in our shared groups

    Oh and because the main community that should have moved changed idea, so no more being the focal point for political organization in the Italian landscape

    Also there is a bug in my ear that keeps repeating that we should just embrace this dark forest internet moment and hide in chat groups like everyone else

  • AniSocial got the same issues as EuropePub: ton of noise, 0 purposes and discussion.

    Even just having the thread to discuss latest one piece chapter would be enough

    I made a telegram group to have similar results but it’s still a bit annoying that no one in the open social world wants to fight the trend of hiding into chat groups e-e

  • yep, we have tons of news posting but few discussion i agree

  • Adding servers is not going to help the signup issue, it will just make it worse

    Other similar servers yes, more themed ones i don't think so...

    what marketing?? there is none for the fediverse

    Ye that's a problem. Marketing as in market of mental space not as in ''buy this one''

    someone jumped the gun on community creation

    Yep, exactly why i feel hesitant partecipating in some subs :o

    You are right that problably there is not enough interest, but not that someone shouldn't try anyway u.u

  • Kinda agree but I’m not so sure about the egg or the chicken first

    Belonging is very important and there is clearly a dominant techie culture in generalistic instances right now

  • slrpnk is a themed instance 😃 (also lemmini, even tho we may close it soon and then make a very local one)

    I made the list for “hey look there are opportunities if you want the threadiverse to shine”

    No pressure

  • No but forums work (or don’t if not shared enough) because they have a purpose

    With too many generalistic instances you get:

    • login paralysis not knowing where to sign up
    • bad “””marketing””” because it’s harder to differentiate
    • kinda flat culture? I mean every generalistic instance right now it’s mostly techies…
    • centralization
    • lack of curation because no sense of ownership and belonging

  • lightweight blog ?

  • In order from little to bigger:

    • any ssg like Zola or pelican
    • mataroa.blog
    • writefreely
    • ghost

  • Which non-US domain registrar to use?

    Jump

  • Gandi got sold 2 times

    Basically the company went from “no bullshit” to “just another asset for some capitalist fund who only cares about extracting as much value as possible”

    It would be so good to have a no profit owned or cooperative European domain seller

  • Looking for a good RSS Reader

    Jump

  • The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days

    I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works

    Has anyone been hosting Lemmy on yunohost for some time?

  • Using Rust since beginning of 2023

    Jump

  • just to be clear, i talked about ''symbols'' and not syntax because i understand that the expressiveness is a feature not an opinion in rust

    but having {} as code blocks instead of keywords is a choice, right?

    also the old thing that on non us keyboard { is harder than [ or ( and that it was an old choice dictated by the keyboards used when making unix or c i guess

    i don't mind syntax per se :)

  • Using Rust since beginning of 2023

    Jump

  • Are you talking about rust or toml? Because if rust, just out of curiosity, would you still like it with keywords instead of symbols?

  • Using Rust since beginning of 2023

    Jump

  • I’ll never understand how the rust community loves TOML (like me) but also loves Rust syntax (totally not like me)

    I feel like they are opposite: rust syntax is full of symbols, toml is super minimal and square parentheses are just less “noisy” than curly ones…

  • How specific communities should be?

    Jump

  • The broader you make a community, harder it will be to feel like you can make a very specific question and it will also be harder to find so we will never have niche content

    Pick your poison, I’d go for the slow but steady usefulness

  • How to get away from doomerism in my media feeds?

    Jump

  • Try to be informed about the stuff you can have an impact on

    For example on my rss feed I just wiped out most of the non EU stuff. It’s ok to know that there are wildfires somewhere in the world but being overexposed is really just toxic

    I can organize here in Italy, not even the whole of it but my region and the cities I spend time in. It’s much better to know what my little city council is discussing about rather than any even major event but so far from me.

    Unluckily, social media doesn’t help too much with curating the feeds but as others said try to work more on mutes and filters. Don’t forget that getting informed is just one tool for change, do not get too high on it :)

    Edit and P.S. : it’s also much easier that on social networks driven by engagement algorithms the posts that travel the most are the ones that cause hate/rage and sex or generally emotions easier to exploit online. Newspapers themselves tend to post more negative stuff. It’s just a human bias, take it into account and watch around yourself to find the positive stuff of life

    what happens when user and community have the same name

  • What issue in society do you think is near impossible to fix?

    Jump

  • yes, hence why i used a dot before it. i guess it's not clear and i should edit

    tell me if it's better now :)

  • Need an opinion on whether it is worth recreating a community.

    Jump

  • After the API exodus sure got worse but I don’t see much difference from the reddit-before-that

    Also, there are still a looot of power users still on reddit. So yes quality got worse there but it’s not like the bests came here anyway

    Sad tho.
