Yeah since there is little content I can’t tell if there is an algorithm or not.
Edit; I tried posting myself to see and the “feed” is a “new” feed of posts by everyone. So no sort of algorithm at all or any customisation available atleast on the ios app, as of now.
not having it be littered by bigots and have an add every 4 scrolls, along with better privacy, is probably the reason why.
FYI a lot of people on Lemmy use the fact Jack Dorsey was involved in Bluesky as a way to attack it, but that’s not super accurate.
He completely left bluesky a year ago and even deleted his account, he has no involvement with it whatsoever anymore.
Bsky has 20 million users, which is great, basically doubled in a month, but twitter has hundreds of millions of users. We talking a different order of magnitude.
When do you start counting it as an algoritm.
The current sorts (except new) are based on formulas, does suddenly adding a personal engagement variable into the formula make it an algorithm?
That’s what I do. As I mentioned in the example in my post.
So almost forum like?
I mentioned scaled sort in my post. Yes it boosts communities with less activity (in practice this tends to be midsized communities as I mentioned in my post), but it does so generally. What my post is advocating for is a sort that boosts the communities you tend to engage with a lot, not every community that is less active.
I can’t believe those people took Trump seriously. The same guy who literally instated a muslim ban and uses the words arab/muslim/terrorist interchangeably.
People downvote more liberally now. Reddit, the world, has become a more hateful place.
ALSO, the reddit algorithm promotes more downvoted content now because drama and fights boost engagement.
No one mentioned [email protected] which is exactly what you’re asking.
Cool to see some decentralisation from LW. And Lemmy.cafe is a really cool instance.
I don’t have the ability to currently watch videos, so I won’t be participating, but good job.
Well that’s gonna lead to some more excess road deaths.
^^ This.
Article seems to have bought in on the right wing “pandemic is over”, it’s just a cold, crap.
How tf do you “discover” the largest coral reef on earth when it was literally visible from space.
Edit:
ABC is dumb and its a coral
My view is hate the system, not the people.
This wikipedia page is true gold lol:
Lotito holds the record for the ‘strangest diet’ in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a brass plaque by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.[3]
the .bsky.social is the main instance. The bridge acts as another instance.
For example one of my friends has a ATProtocol account hosted on the fellas.social instance, so his username is @johndoe.fellas.social
it basically works like lemmy and mastodon in that regard
The main difference with lemmy/fediverse is that instances don’t actually host the software, they just host the database. So it’s plug and play into any open source ATProtocol software. This dramatically decreases server loads and makes hosting an instance or your data cheaper but also means that software is more intensive to host.
the bottleneck to peertube seems to be populating and having more viewers, not hosting costs.
