Another traveler of the wireways.
In a better world, this (or one of its forks) would have taken off instead of Mastodon. It makes a way better case for itself by its distinct features compared to Mastodon, which is too easy to ignore (by everyday people) as Nerd-Twitter.
There’s something a little like this in the form of https://portal.alien.top/
However, as I understand it that currently only works with that specific site/instance (alien.top). Not aware of any others that may do so.
See Rule 5: Posts concerning other instances’ activity/decisions are better suited to !fediverse@lemmy.world or !lemmydrama@lemmy.world communities.
I’ll be locking this accordingly. That said, this post is also sort of a request to World’s admins, which may be better directed to !support@lemmy.world.
Some apps (e.g. Voyager/Thunder) and web frontends (Tesseract? not sure which tbh) enable keyword filtering.
In the case of the apps, it’s found in settings under filters & blocks or filters, respectively. Unfortunately I can’t recall which web frontends enable it for sure, but I do remember there seemed to be fewer of them that did last I checked.
Personally I dislike anything with -verse involved because big companies have run it into the ground and then some.
The boring, dry ways of describing them work best in my opinion.
Federated forums is the driest, most technical and to the point but not very telling.
Swap out forum for link aggregator and you have similar, arguably even more technical (certainly more of a mouthful).
Connected/linked forums might be more approachable, more readily conveying how these are separate forums but networked together.
Cross-forums may work as well to the same end, but not sure how immediately understandable cross may be in this context and outside of gaming spaces.
Whatever the case I kind of think this has things backwards. What’s more important than describing and talking about the backend tech is pointing people to any of the sites built with them that have anything of interest to them to bother with. I can’t think of anything online I’ve ever gone to or used because someone told me it was using Apache, Nginx, phpBB, or like an Open Source Web Server or using such and such CDN.
The reason why is simple: next to nobody talks like that. The only people that might are deep in web dev.
Cyberpunk’s also a manual, but to break the megacorp machinations, not comply with’em.
RIP, take my wheels away, I wiped out on the wheelie!
It weally was, I can’t believe I whiffed that wheelie
If at all possible, I’d try to arrange for a break.
A lot of this sounds like it may stem from burnout (before getting into any more long-term conditions). Taking a break probably won’t help you see your job in a new light (some jobs simply suck, or aren’t a good fit for people personally), but it could give you time to rest enough to look for other opportunities. However first and foremost any such break should focus on resting and recovery to get you to a better state to just be well and happy.
Once you know you can sort out breaks and recover, you can set aside more time to look for opportunities. Right now it seems almost like this may be among your best options: carve out breaks for yourself to rest and recover. Once you’re feeling better, take time you’ve reclaimed for yourself to seek out opportunities to change jobs and improve your work situation.
In terms of fully free, obligatory mention:
Your library may offer more than books alone, depending on how well supported they are. Borrow music, movies, sometimes even video games. For music and movies they may also offer these to borrow digitally as well via online services they coordinate with.
Lately I’ve been casually researching a variety of things like usual, and remembering again that part of that needs to involve finding more international sources, like looking for the various research groups/centers in different countries to see what their approaches and results are.
I don’t really know where any of that would fit into any communities (CivilianScience? CasualResearch?), so here we are.
Besides that been doing the usual browsing around for more open web stuff and hey, NeoDB is cool! It’s federated software that “helps users to manage and explore collections, reviews, and ratings for various cultural products, including books, movies, music, podcasts, games, and performances.” So sort of like a hybrid Letterboxd/RAWG/Goodreads/etc. from the sounds of it.
I don’t think so. The largest ask communities, according to their own descriptions, say they’re for more open-ended questions, albeit AskLemmy@lemmy.ml seems to be more lax about it (and it seems like maybe AskLemmy@lemmy.world has kinda relaxed on it too).
There’s the newer !ask@lemm.ee that doesn’t have the open-ended part to their description, so might be a good fit.
Personally not much into short form video, but thought I’d keep people in the loop on new entrants to the field. From the sounds of it this is still very early in development given the various missing features mentioned at the end.
Also if you don’t want to manually switch it all the time, go into your account settings and change the sort type to whatever you prefer. Similar should apply in apps, with a bonus: some apps will let you change default comment sort setting as well.
Oh, at the time of writing I wasn’t sure if the thread title would display in their notifications with the mention, so I wrote that just in case.
Meant to comment this earlier. On your last point so far as I’m aware there’s currently no way to create a link post (direct URL lemmy link as you say) from Mastodon/microblog to Lemmy. The reason your test post is linking back to the Mastodon instance is because of the image attachment, because you can create image posts between the two.
If you drop the image attachment, while it won’t look as nice, you can get the separate title, link, and body text without it looking too bad. Unfortunately it will lose the visual draw in the process, but that seems to be the workaround for the time being.
The main ones would be @nutomic@lemmy.ml and @dessalines@lemmy.ml, which I just mentioned so should be no need to mention again I think.
Btw for their benefit, adding the context: post with feedback and questions on Lemmy-Mastodon interoperation.
It may not do much depending on the mods/admins, but it never hurts to report and downvote comments or posts like that.
Emphasis on reporting there, as I think sometimes that stuff lingers around because people have made a habit of only downvoting and blocking those doing that regularly. I realize in your examples it’s more likely bias or bigotry respectively, but still.
Report first, then downvote and block. Doing only the latter only makes your experience a little better, the former may help the community.
For those that may only vote and otherwise lurk, there’s a decent amount.
The inability to create multi-communities/reddits (or feeds as Piefed calls them), the absence of post-folding/deduplication for when someone posts the same article to multiple communities (sometimes similar, sometimes distinct), the absence of keyword filtering to automatically filter out stuff from local/all feeds one’s uninterested in, and these are just a few from the top of my head for those that mostly lurk.
Odd url…Here’s the original: https://futurism.com/chatgpt-polluted-ruined-ai-development
Nice detail to use when searching the internet btw:
Try running searches set pre-2022, at least for older info, to reduce the possibilities of AI generated noise.
Anyway, kinda funny to see these generators may be producing enough noise to make producing more noise somewhat harder. Hopefully this doesn’t also impact more productive AI development, such as what’s used in scientific research and the like, as that would genuinely suck.
Edit:
Revised from generators “have produced” to “may be producing” to better reflect the lack of concrete info regarding generative AI data pollution as someone else pointed out. As they note:
