I created a "Religion and Spirituality" category and added to your community.
Regarding the other communities, feel free to add them even if you don't have any more information about it. The whole database works as wiki and is meant to be built collaboratively.
Yes, but not just that. For example, the top comment on this thread is just a sarcastic jab at SV startups and not a real answer to the question. This makes it easy to setup a whole comment chain of (imo) completely useless comments and drowns out any chance of a more serious conversation in the context.
This is not to say that I wish to get rid of all funny/casual commentary that might come off in a discussion, I just wish that I could have some form of context.
Some comments could be marked as "forgettable" so that servers could just drop them after a while, others should be saved because they are important as a reference. This is what I mean by "multi-dimensional". I think that downvotes are important to curate "bad content", but it would be even better if people could also signal why/what that comment is bad.
This is not a long list at all, and some of these communities you are mentioning might be a good for https://indiehackers.space. The best way you can help me now is by signing-up to https://fediverser.network and adding the subreddits that you are missing and use the "request a community" for the ones that are missing.
I also went ahead and created !applemaps@poweruser.forum if you want to get started. :)
May I ask what communities are you interested in? I don't want to automatically post things, but you might be interested in the "Community Ambassadors" feature of https://fediverser.network. Ambassadors can add multiple RSS feeds and use them as source of content to their communities, and then they can repost whatever they think is interesting.
If not Threads, what would you suggest to bring the billions of people who are stuck in legacy social media into the Fediverse?
If not Threads, how else can we convince small businesses to have an online presence beyond their Facebook pages?
If not Threads, how else do you want to bring mainstream media out of Twitter?
Can you please try again? This instance was still running 0.18.5 and it seems something got screwed up in the process.
I've been doing for months already and have not been banned/shadowbanned.
PS: please stop with the stalking. You have been downvoting every comment and post of mine for the past days, even when not involved in the conversation. If you continue with this, you will be reported and perhaps you will understand that is not the Lemmy-linking that getting you banned from reddit, but just your obnoxious behavior.
$2/month per instance? That won't even cover your server costs at the cheapest provider that you can't think off. What about storage? Taxes? Payment processor fees? Your labor?
You don't need to see them just because the same network as you. But they need to be here if we want corporate social media to die.
One more reason to argue that we should drop the idea of "aligned" servers and that we are moving to a future where it is better to charge (small) amounts from everyone instead of depending on (large) donations from a few.
the idea that people will share your data benevolent right?
Not necessarily. There are a good number of providers (e.g, Pinata, Infura) of "Pinning services", which will host the data that you want to make sure it's always available. At first sight, they might seem more expensive than just using something like S3, but if you consider that there is no egress costs for files on IPFS then it might end up a lot cheaper to host content there.
Are the mods here planning to do any special type of work on this community? Because I've seen that Threads has added a new feature about live score tracking, and I'm wondering if something similar can be done on !nba@nba.space.
(Also, I've already asked @TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml whether he'd be interested in joining forces there, and I'd like to extend the invite to all mods here)
