Any suggestions for how to word the survey question? How it’s framed will make a big difference to the result.

I’d like to survey our users on this to see how they feel about what they read being tracked in this way.

Some time ago I floated the idea of somehow highlighting/prioritizing comments by people who had clicked the link to the article. People who mouth off without reading the article are a pain in the ass so I wanted to somehow de-emphasize those. The feedback I got at the time was pretty strongly “no I don’t want you knowing what I read”. It’s too easy to do big data stuff on it to build profiles on people, I guess. It wasn’t a proper poll, just people commenting so it’s hard to know what the silent majority thinks.

So I’m a bit wary about it now.

Can’t you track which posts (and when) people view locally, in your app? Then when displaying comments compare the comment time with the last-viewed-post time to determine if it’s new.

Hypothetically an instance could federate an activity telling all other instances about it’s new domain name.

But once we get post, community and user migration working there will be much less need for it - everyone could just move themselves.

A live streaming drone would be ideal.

Welcome!

Worth posting this into !newcommunities@lemmy.world I reckon.

Yes that is the crucial difference. Without followers determining your reach, every post earns it’s upvotes on an equal footing with the others, regardless of author.

It’s a much better system.

Follower-based networks like Mastodon and Twitter inevitably end up with a handful of people dominating the space because their posts get boosted which gets them more followers which gets them more boosts etc in a spiraling way.

Nice feeds! I have added them to the Explore menu for everyone, now.

More like This War of Mine, maybe.

A game so depressing I stopped playing.

Ah ok.

That docker-dirs.sh script is trying to set the right permissions onto these directories:

“pgdata”, “media”, “logs”, “tmp”.

The owner of those directories needs to be the same user as the one running docker.

Nowhere in https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/INSTALL-docker.md does the word chmod appear.

When you say ‘ran the script in it’, what do you mean?

During federation the IP address and country of the accounts involved is not shared with other instances so although you could lock down your instance as soon as you federate you’d have people from all over sending you content.

Unlikely to change. I found a more recent issue that was closed with a link going to that one, so they’ve been over this multiple times over the years and don’t want to budge.

PieFed will continue to disallow communities and feeds to have the same name as users, that will maximize compatibility.

Regardless of how webfinger is supposed to work, Lemmy has now got a situation where there are many many overlapping actors. I don’t see a clean way out of this for them so it’ll probably persist.

Lucky this came up because I have been meaning to make PieFed work the same as Lemmy, with multiple actors in the webfinger response!

Hmm looks like setting local as the default homepage view doesn’t work. I’ll sort that out.
