Right now lemmy backend only supports a single ‘subscribed’ list, that would be like a music player only having a single playlist. I know people are using multiple logins just to have more flexibility in managing their lists.
it’s not very difficult to modify the code for something like this… and closing off registration wont’ let anyone else login and create new content form your istance.
Personally the load on the major servers by having one more instance that subscribes to everything is why I think people should back off from creating more than the 1500 instances Lemmy network already has. Delivery of every single vote, comment, post 24 hours a day just so one person can read content for an hour or two a day.
That makes sense for email systems where all that content doesn’t have to be sent, but for Lemmy it’s a huge amount of overhead.
Recently I’ve noticed my feed has become almost entirely the main meme instance. The algorithm gives me 4 meme posts then a technology post then load more memes
Yes, same issue, and I’m using lemmy-ui…
Lemmy’s backend Top/Active/Hot are pretty primitive. I’m experimenting with some ways to weigh smaller less-popular communities… because +20 vote on meme topics is noise, but +20 on some focused community can be a big deal. hot_rank doesn’t take that into account and just looks at published date and score. It’s pretty tricky to get new things into the backend, so it may be a while.
An Instance is just another word for ‘server’ in lemmy terminology. HDTV is a classic form of media that doesn’t involve TCP/IP to watch films and other video content.
If everyone was spread out onto different instances
Each instance with an owner/operator making rules… that the average social media user walks in, orders a drink, and starts smoking without any concern that neither one may be allowed. People can be loyal to their media outlets even when it is beyond obvious they are bad. People raised on storybooks that endorse bad behaviors and values, HDTV networks, and social media too. Audience desire to “react comment” to images and not actually read what others have commented - nor learn about the venue operators and reasons for rules is pretty much the baseline experience in 2023.
When it comes to media attraction, what they call themselves (labels) don’t really matter that much. It’s the praise of strong men, authority, that crosses all mythological media systems. Be it bowing down to a burning bush story, Fox News, or Kremlin.
Keep in mind that you’re going to be retrieving and storing a huge amount of data running these scripts
And you are adding to the overload of lemmy.world, beehaw, lemmy.ml, etc who have all the popular content communities. Federation has a lot of overhead, as does having to distribute a community one vote at a time to 500 subscribed servers.
pend my time on Lemmy scrolling “All”, which I think is a pretty common thing.
There was a lot of advice handed out back in June that the answer to scaling Lemmy was to go create instances. The reason it works is because “All” is empty on a virgin system ;) With no data in the database, the logic Lemmy hands to PostgreSQL works real fast ;)
The real war is hate media memes and messages that trickle down to those obedient to voices from the clouds, electric voices these days. In the old days, books that said burning bushes gave out signals.
Me and my brother were talking to each other
About what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born?
We just couldn’t understand
I use that periodically to compare feeds, and like I said sometimes a post or comment is missing, actually I often see a comment that looks like it’s responding to a another comment, but I cannot see the parent comment.
There have been bugs in Lemmy not sending comment deletes to all the instances. And lemmy.world and lemmy.ml were not communicating fro Saturday through Tuesday. Lemmy.world had some significant outages. It gets pretty tricky to track down and identify exact causes while things are unstable.
the module can cause intermittent stuttering, depending on which Ryzen processor you’re using. It appeared when the fTPM was in use, it would access its flash storage via a serial interface, and when doing so, held up activity by the rest of the system.
Nolan pushed the limit of IMAX projectors with Interstellar run time in 2014, he went out of his way to find out what the maximum that could be done with platter modifications, an extra 20 minutes.
I miss the days when the internet was populated largely by nerds aiming to make a better world
The BBS and early Internet days were dominated by people who read non-fiction books. RTFM was a common saying in those days.
does anyone else feel enslaved?
“Everything in our background has prepared us to know and resist a prison when the gates begin to close around us . . . But what if there are no cries of anguish to be heard? Who is prepared to take arms against a sea of amusements? To whom do we complain, and when, and in what tone of voice, when serious discourse dissolves into giggles? What is the antidote to a culture’s being drained by laughter?”

Amusing Ourselves to Death
NASA statement this week opened my mind up to non-human intelligence on Earth. I started looking into when dinosaurs were really taken seriously, and it wasn’t until 1800. Think about how many humans ignored that evidence. Maybe some intelligence evolved on Earth and had brains that found natural physics and chemistry more teachable than our learning in school classrooms, found ways to open dimensions and just left Earth for some place better, but still comes back to check us lower species, ha.
I find it is hard to understand. Because now we all carry around a smartphone and can look at Wikipedia and a variety of other sources. On almost any topic, it is accurate with citations. And it really does not take that many people to create accurate sources of information. Truth basically is singular, you can detail it backwards and forwards. We have public libraries full of accurate information.
What I do understand is that oil companies spend a massive amount of money on branding, marketing, sports, etc. The information people believe isn’t just random theories against how fire burning produces CO2 and warms up the Earth. They very specifically believe things the marketing and advertising tells them to. It’s a basic business formula to spend x percentage of all your income on marketing. It works across every field, for every $100 income you put $3 right back into keeping your customer “educated” from a voice outside the product material (such as product placement in a film, or a sponsorship message between news stories).
I find people will sell their souls for free songs, free websites, free TV channels. They just don’t see how artificial changes in group behavior can become popular through marketing/advertising. They can’t face that marketing companies measure increases in sales, and sped precise amounts of money marketing a hamburger shop that everyone knows is there, but still the signal directs customers to change their choice of meals.
Even religions that are not their own. It’s taught. They can’t face up to the fact that a person who is raised with no religion does not believe the book they believe. And if you take them to a country with a different religion or human language, they can’t make the connection that it is all learned.
I can understand not having a skill from experience. Spending 8 years to learn how to do surgery correctly. But there really isn’t a reason for humanity to poison itself with marketing and advertising that climate change isn’t real - just to keep a specific set of billionaires in power.
We could pay for our TV shows, songs, films, website. Not poison our minds with falsehoods in advertising. That chain hamburger shop doesn’t need to remind us it is there, if it’s good, we will go get a burger. It’s the motivation systems of misinformation that seems the hardest thing to understand and change. People can be incredibly attracted to things they find “funny” or “odd”. humanity can be sold all kinds of products that are not good quality or even cheaper… just by branding/marketing/logo things. I can’t understand why people haven’t had ENOUGH of it. Like even the Reddit API change was about adding more marketing and cutting out apps that didn’t do Reddit advertising.
