Love the idea is a "similar communities" button but I don't know if I'd say searching communities is really that hard.

I think there's some pretty low hanging fruit here, but most of it is platform specific.

On Mastodon, I think this looks like a revamp of the for you section. As it stands the posts are mostly human curated and the people section is mostly a static list. That is, if you've scrolled through the list once, that list will not be different next time unless you've followed a significant number of people outside of it. It would be nice if it at least showed you the next 20 or so by the same metric.

On lemmy, I think making the functionality provided by the trending communities community a first class feature would go a long way.

Unmanic to optimize your library in the background. Encoding things to x265 can buy you a huge amount of space.

Edit: Reading again i see that you're on a pi. Not at all sure what the video encoding performance is on those.

Seems to me the most likely explanation is they got caught and fixed it.

#BlackMastodon is a thing. I think there's also a guppe group?

Shouldn't we blame this on the food monopolies rather than grocery stores?

Regarding Sup: dansup has mentioned that he's put the project on hold until the new EU guidelines around interoperability (targeting whatsapp) are available.

There are a couple of prpeertube creators that make short form content

I think it's worth considering a model where one might be expected to provide hosting for their own video. Certainly not necessary now but probably will be if/when video on fedi takes off

I don't buy this narrative. TikTok is facing a ban because it's a huge loaded gun in the hand of a foreign adversary that is actively pushing the boundaries on covert cyber warfare. Remember how they forced users to call their reps before they could use the app? Imagine that capability used in tandem with a more traditional attack. And of course there's the potential for Russian style disinformation campaigns.

Either way, I find out seriously unlikely that it has anything to do with support for Palestine. Support for Palestine is actively growing on all platforms and I seriously doubt anybody has hard evidence that tiktok is pushing that forward.

This is super exciting. I think one of the things a lot of people are missing here is the potential for small wikis to augment existing fediverse communities. Reddit’s killer feature has always been the massive treasure trove of information for hobbyists and niche interests. There is huge potential in the fediverse to take advantage of that sort of natural collaborative knowledge building process.

PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and P2P protocols.

Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube platform because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.

If you are curious about PeerTube, I can't recommend you enough to check the official website to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try to use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find a platform available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube platform on your own server.

The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft, a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!

Framasoft is also involved in the development of Mobilizon, a decentralized and federated alternative to Facebook Events and Meetup.

Institution: Yale
Lecturer: Paul H. Fry
University Course Code: ENGL 300
Subject: #lit #literature
Description: This is a survey of the main trends in twentieth-century literary theory. Lectures will provide background for the readings and explicate them where appropriate, while attempting to develop a coherent overall context that incorporates philosophical and social perspectives on the recurrent questions: what is literature, how is it produced, how can it be understood, and what is its purpose?

For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that's been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?

Institution: MIT
Lecturer: Prof. David Hsu
University Course Code: MIT 11.165
Subject: #climate #polisci #politicalscience
Description: This class is about figuring out together what cities and users can do to reduce their energy use and carbon emissions. Many other classes at MIT focus on policies, technologies, and systems, often at the national or international level, but this course focuses on the scale of cities and users. It is designed for any students interested in learning how to intervene in the energy use of cities using policy, technology, economics, and urban planning.

After realizing that there were integrated fediverse engines, I realized that the options were pretty much limitless. What custom engines have you guys setup?
