Generally I think duplication isn’t great because it means people subscribe to all of them and cross-post in all of them. A lot of client apps don’t deal with this well, yet.
I mean just have a community for cats on instance 1 and a community for dogs on instance 2.
In your original post you demonstrated an ability to collect a nice pile of links to support your argument. Use that skill to build the opposite argument and see what happens. If your original argument was a good one it should stand up. I’ve given you a starting point but I’m not going to try to change the mind of an angry person, that’s just stupid.
I could have linked to them individually but I am not your research assistant and owe you nothing.
The claim was that there is no evidence. To disprove that all I had to do was find one piece of evidence. I found several with 5 seconds of work. Why are you not putting in that amount of effort? Is it because you are too angry to consider alternative points of view?
This article is better than most like this in that it at least acknowledges the existence of the threadiverse and even explores some of it’s community-related features. Hurrah! But really it equates ActivityPub with just Mastodon, which leads to the conclusion it does. I believe that if they compared Lemmy/PF’s ActivtyPub with ATProto the conclusion might have been quite different.
(Community lives in the heads of the people involved and their feelings of connection to and support for one another. But ok, let’s run with the assumption it’s a technology / protocol thing…)
I was not prepared, however, to find absolutely no evidence.
Hold up, hold up.

It’s complicated.
You could federate with millions of instances if the people using them are not doing very much. But a handful of instances could theoretically overwhelm the whole network if they had malicious bots spamming like crazy.
The instance that hosts a community is responsible for sending copies of everything to all following instances, so most of the load is on those instances that host lots of popular communities. All other instances just need to be powerful enough to keep up with what they receive, which is 100x less work.
So even more important than spreading users out among instances, is spreading communities out among instances. Communities cause most of the load.
It doesn’t matter, Threads has crippled their ActivityPub implementation so badly that I’ve never once seen a post from a threads user. Meta gave up on the idea, effectively.
No, it’s legit. Elena has been tooting and peertubing about the fedi and her self hosting journey for over a year.
You could probably do something similar with your instance, like https://piefed.ca/communities?search=%s. Any big instance is going to have 99% of communities already added.
When the characters are talking about something and say “oh this is like that time when…” and a flashback scene which is just copy and pasted from old footage is used. Then they do this 5 more times in the episode. So annoying and cheap.
Ohhh, I get it now. Thanks for spelling it out.
Sorry for hurting your feelings. I didn’t mean to imply your bs detector is broken but I can see how it would come across that way.
No.
Copy and paste the body of your post into https://copyleaks.com/ai-content-detector or https://gptzero.me.
It’s ok to be deceived, I don’t blame you for it.
Yep https://ngrok.com/ is not affiliated with Musk at all. Their ‘sponsorship’ is that they provide me with a VPN service for free which they normally charge $10 per month for. @birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Yes I expect it will be a while before client apps add it.
The author has been set as a bot, too. That is a very old feature so it should show up everywhere.
Ironically, that whole article is LLM-generated. I didn’t think The Atlantic would do that, very disappointed.
That’s the beauty (and horror) of PHP!
Fun for small stuff, good for learning. Unpretentious. Dead simple to deploy.
