I've noticed that the "All" feed on Lemmy is pretty much the same across all instances, showing posts from every instance regardless of the specific focus or community vibe of the instance you're on. This seems like a missed opportunity to make the experience more tailored and engaging for each instance's unique audience.

For example, if there were an instance dedicated to literature lovers, wouldn't it make sense for the "All" feed on that instance to prioritize content that's more relevant to people who enjoy books, poetry, and writing? Instead of being a global feed that shows everything from memes to tech news, it could reflect the interests and values of the instance's community.

I feel like making the "All" feed more tailored to each instance would not only improve user experience but also strengthen the sense of community within each instance. What do you think? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!

Available online as in, you just log in to a website and use it, not on hugging face or github, where you need to download, install and configure.

LLMs are already made so "safe" that they won't even describe an erotic or crime story - content you would easily find visually represented in all its detail on Netflix, Amazon, HBO, youtube, etc. Ie writing "Game of Thrones" with an AI is not possible in most chat bots anymore.

I would love to be more active in posting links to articles and websites I find interesting to the fediverse, but I find that searching for the appropriate community can be a hassle. With so many different instances hosting the same communities, it can be difficult to know where to post. Is there a Firefox extension that would allow me to quickly and easily post links to a single Lemmy community (for example https://reddthat.com/c/random)? I'm envisioning something like a bookmarking tool that lets me post the website I'm viewing with a single click. If there isn't an existing extension that does this, I'd be interested in finding a similar program that I could use for inspiration to create one myself.

Something like this:

Hello, I'm looking for a new distro that aligns with my privacy preferences and offers a wide range of packages without requiring me to search for PPAs, similar to Manjaro. I've grown uneasy about Manjaro's decision to collect unique data like MAC addresses and disk serial numbers by default, even if it's for diagnostic purposes.

In light of this, I'd like to ask for your recommendations on a Linux distro that meets the following criteria:

1. No opt-out telemetry: I'm looking for a distro that doesn't collect any unique data by default.
2. Access to a wide range of packages: I prefer a distro that offers a vast repository of packages, so I don't have to search for PPAs or third-party repositories.
3. User-friendly: I'm not a fan of complicated configurations or steep learning curves, so a distro with a user-friendly approach would be ideal.

I'm curious to hear any recommendations you might have. Thanks!

I'm considering upgrading my laptop and giving my current one to someone else. I'm looking for a device with a 15.6" FHD display, at least 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, HDMI, USB 3.0, and an audio jack, all within a budget of under 500€.

I've found some refurbished options at a good price, and these two seem like the best choices:

1. Lenovo ThinkPad L590: 15.6" i5 8365U, 8GB RAM, SSD 256GB, Full HD, Grade A
2. Lenovo ThinkPad T580: 15.6" i5 8350U, 8GB RAM, SSD 256GB, Full HD, NVIDIA GeForce MX150 2GB, Grade A+

Which one would you recommend?

I'd like to invite you all to share your thoughts and ideas about Lemmy. This feedback thread is a great place to do that, as it allows for easier discussions than Github thanks to the tree-like comment structure. This is also where the community is at.

Here's how you can participate:

• Post one top-level comment per complaint or suggestion about Lemmy.
• Reply to comments with your own ideas or links to Github issues related to the complaints.
• Be specific and constructive. Avoid vague wishes and focus on specific issues that can be fixed.
• This thread is a chance for us to not only identify the biggest pain points but also work together to find the best solutions.

By creating this periodic post, we can:

• Track progress on issues raised in previous threads.
• See how many issues have been resolved over time.
• Gauge whether the developers are responsive to user feedback.

Your input may be valuable in helping prioritize development efforts and ensuring that Lemmy continues to meet the needs of its community. Let's work together to make Lemmy even better!

As a community grows in popularity, it often shifts from hosting insightful discussions to attracting memes, funny, and low-quality content. This change appeals to a larger audience interested in such content, creating a vicious cycle where valuable discussions are overshadowed and marginalized by the platform's primary demographic.

It's the pendulum swing of pretty much every community on Reddit.

• Community starts out with a small group of users dedicated to quality content related to the topic
• Community growth reaches a point where the most popular posts begin to trend outside of the community
• New users join the community after seeing popular posts show up in their own feeds. Growth accelerates
• Community becomes "popular" enough that posts regularly trend outside of the community
• New users flood in
• Users flood the community with low-effort content to karma farm
• Community now sucks.

It happened to basically every big sub on Reddit once reaching a large enough size.

I've explored a few platforms within the Fediverse, but most of them seem to be inspired by and mimic existing mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. While this familiarity can be comforting, I can't help but wonder if there are any truly innovative and original platforms out there that offer a unique experience.

What makes them unique? How do they reimagine the social media experience?

To install Rust on Manjaro Linux, follow these steps:

1. Update Manjaro: Before installing Rust, ensure your system is up-to-date by running sudo pacman -Syu in the terminal[1].

2. Install Rust: Use the following command to install Rust on Manjaro Linux: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh[2].

3. Activate Rust Environment: After installation, activate the Rust environment for your current shell using source "$HOME/.cargo/env".

4. Verify Installation: Check if Rust is successfully installed by running rustc -V in the terminal.

5. Test Rust Installation: Create a test program like "Hello, World!" by creating a file named main.rs, adding fn main() { println!("Hello, World!"); }, and compiling it with rustc main.rs && ./main[1].

6. Update Rust: Keep your Rust installation up-to-date with rustup update to get the latest features and security patches[2].

7. Uninstall Rust: If needed, you can remove Rust from your system using rustup self uninstall[1].

By following these steps, you can easily install, test, update, and remove Rust on your Manjaro Linux system.

This script automates the process of updating Manjaro, installing Rust, activating the environment, verifying the installation, testing with a "Hello, World!" program, updating Rust, and optionally uninstalling Rust. Save this script in a file (e.g., rust_install_script.sh), make it executable with chmod +x rust_install_script.sh, and run it in the terminal to automate the installation process.
