Go ahead. Shoot me.

I wonder, how many people regret saying it because they've been actually shot. Ah, yes. None. Good line.

Nah, promote him instead.

If computing these tags is not expensive, they can be computed and stored internally in the app at client side. If this will work and will be useful, it can be moved to server-side in one of lemmy’s updates. Each post will have have probable tags in metadata with % of how sure an algorithm was about assigning this tag. Personally, I think affecting your feed by picking appropriate instance doesn’t work, and I do hope other instance-independent ways to browse lemmy will become available. But right now I haven’t found a time even to check Lemmy’s api to see what’s already available.

Is it only an idea? I can think of automatic tagging of all posts. If you have access to a post and all its comments, probably you can programmatically assign a tag to it. Based on “words cloud” or something like that. Annoying posts usually have a lot of comments which simplifies automatic tagging. It can make it possible to filter out specific topics, or, contrary, browse them specifically.

I think it’s a matter of sorting. Do you know how does it work? I don’t. Would be interesting to know. Why exactly those posts are shown in the feed? Is it “sort all by upvotes count descending”? Probably not, because this way you will get popular post from previous year. Is it “same, but filtered to those posted within last week”? Probably not. I think interacting with lemmy’s api can shed some light on this topic. Probably you can use whatever sorting you like.

Solutions should bring more freedom, not restrictions. Imagine not being able to upvote something you like.

I thought this was a normal coding. Then how do you call those who heavily rely on google and SO?

“Gives you control” - you post video. It gets federated to another instance. Congratulations! You can’t delete your video.

A day will come when I get to know what vibecoding is. Or maybe this word will die out sooner. You never know.

It’s solving device addiction with another device. Sure it will be very interesting to investigate phone models to pick from. Indeed we are good at tricking ourselves. Creating “windows” with no phone at all works better for me.

I wonder, when you chose those instances, how far from the top they have been comparing by users count.

@moseschrute@lemmy.world You were talking about something like that
