We're the creators of Lemmy, Ask Us Anything. *Starts Monday, 7 Aug, 1500 CEST*
Any plans to improve the sorting algorithm so that there's a good balance of fresh posts at the top that's also fairly active? And to help promote smaller communities that would have otherwise been dominated by the posts from bigger instances.
Any concerns about duplicate communities across multiple instances? People have made the argument that it's like having different flavors of subreddits on Reddit, but it's a flawed analogy. Individual instances have incentive to make their own communities flourish, whether or not there's a duplicate already available.

CNN Poll: Percentage of Republicans who think Biden's 2020 win was illegitimate ticks back up near 70%
Republican voters are a different breed. Even with enough evidence to prove Russia was interfering with the 2016 election, Democrats still mostly accepted the win. With even less evidence of any fraud in the 2020 election, the majority of Republicans deny Biden's legitimacy.

Google search is over
Chatgpt creating incorrect feedback loops like this is one of my main concerns about AI being used so prevalently. This and original thoughts disappearing because every new content in the web is generated by AI and not by a human.

Ohio Republicans Refuse To Accept Election Results, Claim Abortion Bans Will Remain
I'm sure some of their Republican voters will be thrilled to hear that...
Oh by the way, I thought the GOP were about state rights?

This ‘Far-Right’ Bit Is Getting Old
Far-right news rag wants people to stop saying far-right. How unsurprising.

More freedom for people that can afford to buy a car and live in an area with ample parking. But no freedom for everyone else amirite

Just look at the truck. It's a dodge ram, they don't make any PHEV models.

Mine is in an unfinished room at the corner of the basement where the main line comes in and replacing it took the plumber life
RIP poor plumber

Unity reportedly told dev Planned Parenthood and children's hospital are "not valid charities"
Calling PP a political org is too obtuse a message to view this response as a simple mistake or miscommunication. Unity is apparently run by conservative hacks and I hope they collapse.

lemmynsfw.com has been defederated
Reply in thread
To be fair, it IS a porn instance. I think I would rather blame the sorting algorithms of lemmy that allows popular communities, including memes, to spam the All page due to the sheer number of posts and hides smaller ones.

Jamie Dimon says employees can go work somewhere else if they don't like long commutes into the office, thinks remote work doesn't cut it
And that's how you lose talent...
I don't mind visiting the office once in awhile, say 2 or 3 times a month. But to mandate it to every day is asinine. I'm never going back to wasting 3 hours a day sitting in a train/stuck in traffic.

Florida's new Black history curriculum says "slaves developed skills" that could be used for "personal benefit"
It's the dumbest take ever even if you're just trying to play devil's advocate, never mind making it an official state PUBLIC EDUCATION POLICY. It's like saying slaves were fed during slavery that allowed them to live. Technically yes they were fed, technically yes they learned skills, but it's all overridden by the fact that THEY WERE ENSLAVED. There's no room to find any silver lining in this situation that could potentially give any props to slave owners because it's one of the most subhuman behavior imaginable.

What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
I might be in the minority, but shitpost memes like "I'll draw a shitty picture every day until x happens" or "I'll do this based on Y upvotes", and the "here's a random hotdog/Gatorade bottle everyday". I know I can probably just block these kinds of posts, I just never got the appeal of it.

The state of Playstore
I'm not exactly sure when it started, but Play Store now has "Limited time events" that further block what I'm actually looking for. I don't give a damn about some gacha/loot box promotion some soulless pay2win app is advertising, I just want to browse for apps I might like.

Redditor posts "Guy refused to talk to me after hearing I am not vaxxed." on r/conspiracy and causes a shitstorm in the comments. His profile proves to be a schizo's delight
A free thinker whose opinions somehow always falls on the side of those of conspiracy theorists and listens to the words of a corporate billionaire...

Justice Clarence Thomas reports he took 3 trips on Republican donor’s plane last year
Lol the audacity to blame one of the private jet flights on the abortion decision leak. As if that was the reason for all the other private flights gifted to him.

RFK Jr.: Media hitting me harder than Trump
He's already at the "the media is unfair to me" stage. That was quick.
Also, the last paragraph is hilarious.

Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? **UPDATE**
I felt the same way, but it's mostly due to lemmy's still premature sorting algorithm. Sorting by New, Top Hour, or Top Six changed my experience drastically. There's still issues like posts having not enough involvement through comments, and duplicate posts from similar communities, but overall it's much better after about a month in.

It's almost done
I try to remember to always under promise expectations. Even after all these years I keep forgetting that a simple change is never really that simple and has lots of overhead.
