Though Lemmy and Mastodon are public sites, and their structures are open-source I guess? (I'm not a programmer/coder), can they really dodge the ability of AI s to collect/track any data everytime they search everywhere on Internet?

Once the celebrities or official pages or figure people leave that site for its dismaying complications, that will be the doom of it as followers of those don't have other significant reasons to stay.

 

@lemmy.world website,

  1. I can see Mastodon user's profile but no posts and comments displayed.
  2. Yet, Mastodon users can comment/reply to Lemmy posts and comments.

@mastodon.social website,

  1. Some of my (@lemmy.world) posts & comments in a profile at mastodon.social don't appear.

I just hope I can finally "converse" with Mastodon users and other users from "non-Lemmy" instances such as misskey, calckey and others (of course function of ActivityHub and dream goal of Fediverse).

 

Instead of categorized instances (where communities are related to each other's interests) (but I have seen people who don't like the idea stil it's ok), I have another idea of an "Admin's Choice/regional/neighborhood" feed aside from my "subscribed", "local" and "all".

An "admin's choice" feed is where admins of an instance can promote approved posts/communities outside their governing instance upon their interests/preference, as an addition to the local feed, but it does not include all other posts/communities not in theirs. For better clarification:

"Subscribed": Communities/Posts (whether within or outside home instance) that I subscribe.

"Local": Communities/Posts that the home instance has.

"Admin's Choice": Communities/Posts that the home instance has + the outside communities/posts that the admins want to include.

"All": All Communities/Posts (whatever federated instances have, whether within or beyond the homes's preference) as long as the home instance connects to.

I realize when I browse other instance through their URL literally, every instance has own somewhat taste/personality of communities and posts done by the users joined in the instance. That's why I pop another idea.

Buts:

Q1: "Why not subscribe to the community?"

A1: If I subscribed a very specific community just for a single and immediate post or event, my "subscribed" feed will provide also other unnecessary and complicated (somewhat critical analysis) posts from that community, which I will never look up to. I just want posts of my particular interest in case of somewhat significance.

a1: For an example: I'm a (assuming) music lover, I just want to hear about a music artist concerts but I don't want to hear moreover about other analysis/extra gossips about the music artist as I just wondering going his concert just to listen and jam.

Q2:... My brain's timed up. I can't think anymore contras further, so anyways. My bad if many.

Very sorry for not enough understood (and may never mind this idea of mine) as I hardly describe what I really mean from my mind to suggest.

May the odd votes be in your favor.

Disclaimer: I'm no IT expert/man. I'm just wondering what structure these instances should be.

Because as a new user:

  1. Communites catalog is messy: Redundant communities, Difficult to search for communities and tags and posts, No verifying way if a community does exist or not.
  2. I have still no idea to the idea (just one account could travel in any instances/servers). But I have a Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin account [EDIT] and now Squabbles account [/EDIT].
  3. What if all other creators/mods establish communities/instances/forums in a same majority website (so might become Reddit Copycat eventually funnily, the essence of "Fediverse" left the chat---seems doesn't work at all).

So I ended up wondering ideas, just sharing, might help. May call me stupid of these already in advance, of course I have 0 IT knowledge.

BTW, why is the image of my post "stored" in archive.org anyway? Could I see the image in archive.org? (cause I know archive.org where I borrow tons of books.)
