Checking out [email protected] I saw very few posts by bots. Mainly saw posts by you. I saw one post coming from alien.top .
What’s interesting is that only posts by bots have any comments. So maybe this could be a good way to get communities started.
Therefore, if it’s okay with the admins at the following community, I’d nominate [email protected]
There’s almost nothing happening there.
Did you check with the admins on lemmy first or are you bot posting without permission?
Take the free ones. Ignore the discounted ones, don’t buy them.
There is too much concentration in your livelihood when you invest in your employer. For example, and I know too many examples of this, if your employer starts doing badly, you can not only lose your job, but they might move out of town leaving your home in a state where you may need to sell it in a depressed market. Often the shares you would have invested in the company are worth too little to sell. Your assets, your job, your home, all take a hit at the same crazy time. Not worth it.
Instead, invest in broad-market index funds. Go to Bogleheads where they discuss this and ask there. If you like momentum, arguably the greatest investor that has ever lived, Warren Buffett recommends a split between 90% SPY or IVV (S&P500) and 10% cash. The S&P500 is something like a momentum fund of the top winners of the US economy, and constantly changing.
Your employer is only trying to tie you down and have real skin in the game so that you’ll work harder. Ignore the tendency.
Best of luck.
Let’s say I have a favorite sport and there exists a sub_ named: r/.
Let’s also say there already exits a Lemmy community and that community is struggling to get off the ground: [email protected]
I can see a value add if your project directly helps [email protected] get started; but I don’t see how it does. If anything wouldn’t your project compete with [email protected] and therefore hinder it?
It might be different if your project directly tied r/ to [email protected] but it doesn’t.
If downvotes are the issue, beehaw.org doesn’t allow downvotes. Those folks are automatically eliminated from that. You can then just ignore the comments you don’t like and it’s all good. 👍
Testing feedback:
The links in this post don’t load, https://feddit.nl/post/3654890
Testing feedback: There appears to be a missing feature. When a post includes a gallery of images, no thumbs or images are shown as a preview. Only an empty gray box is displayed.
Thanks for the replies. So I guess USENET had/has an advantage here, as all USENET servers replicate “all” newsgroups automatically. To the extent that one server exists, the newsgroup lives on regardless of its origination point. In that sense, the collective work of all contributors is not lost until the retention date passes.
The ActivityPub proposal mentioned by @chris seems to be a good enough equivalent, at least for communities that are shared.
I installed it in Linux and it’s headed for a live environment.
Starling looks good so far.
One improvement I’d recommend is to make links visible. They are currently the same color as general text in the chat, black by default. I’d recommend blue.
