As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....

I’d be surprised if more than 10% of the post generated come from actual humans.

I have the opposite impression, that's interesting

That's nice, feel free to crosspost to !movies to reach a wider audience

Where is the question?

Also, wouldn't that maybe more appropriate on an American politics community?

1000+ Firefox for Android extensions now available – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog ( blog.mozilla.org )

The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to...

Good news, I have been using them on Mull since a while, quite useful

It's a Piefed feature for people unaware, thanks for sharing that thread

Piefed!

Really surprises me that this is not more well known

The website is https://bluedwarf.top/cackle/index.php, not Fediverse compatible, but the insights are interesting nonetheless

You can open an issue on the issue tracker: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues

From my experience, there are more than one issue to report, but you do you

I understand. I'm actually surprised the Lemmy code is hosted on Github, I guess at some point they'll move to codeberg, srchut or a Forgejo instance

Thank you!

My recommendation, first being the best:

  • lemm.ee
  • sh.itjust.works if you are ok with the name
  • discuss.tchncs.de or lemmy.ca depending if you are located in Europe or North America
  • lemmy.zip as they are good contenders, but a bit smaller than the others

If you don't want downvotes (which can be quite liberating), Reddthat.com is a good choice

All of those instances are well managed and transparent with their updates, administration and cost.

Lemmy world is okay, but they are already very big, so it's better to go to another one from a decentralization perspective.

I posted on !dadworld: https://reddthat.com/post/18791125

Quoting the post here as sometimes mod remove meta posts

Hello everyone,

Randomly stumbled upon @orangeNgreen's comment in another thread about the different dad communities:

!dadworld: last post 10 days ago, previous one 1 month ago

!daddit: last post 2 weeks ago

!dads: last post 2 days ago, previous one 8 days ago

!dadsonly: last post 2 months ago

!dadsplain: last post 4 days ago, previous one 2 months ago

!dadvice: last post 2 months ago

!fatherverse: last post 5 days ago, previous one 2 months ago

So I guess there are some conversations ongoing, but they are scattered all over the place.

Should we maybe discuss a potential consolidation?

More language diverse than Reddit, especially on language based instances. Shout out to the Germans who seem much more active than other languages (such as French or Spanish)

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

That's okay, changing instances at least once is part of the experience

It's interesting to see how challenging it is to fork Mastodon while Misskey must have 10 active forks at the moment

!movies

There is some activity, we even had an AMA with a director/actor, but the discussion threads dedicated to movies struggle to get comments (the one notable exception being Dune Part II)

@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

It's really location depend. For Europeans, the sidebar of !yurop lists the national communities, the bigger countries are usually the most active

@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

The built-in search function works quite well I would say

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

I can only comment on my experience searching for communities in lemmy and people to follow on mastadon, but in both cases I am not sure I’d say “works quite well” would describe my experience.

For communities, https://lemmyverse.net/communities is probably better.

I use the built-in search engine for posts, and usually the results are relevant and accurate

Would Lemmy Benefit from Implementing Polls? ( slrpnk.net )

A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. I'm not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didn't see much juice on the topic, so thought I'd spark it up....

Thank you for your work on Raccoon btw

I don't knooow

Can you repeat the question

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

You could consider Reddthat.com if you want down votes disabled like on Beehaw

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

They defederated LW and SJW, so probably around 30 to 40% of Lemmy

@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

Nice description

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

I’m not entirely sure how it works; I don’t know if I can see if someone from Lemmy.world replies to my comments in other communities. I don’t think so, since I can’t remember ever seeing a Lemmy.world commenter, but I’m not totally clear on how defederation works. I think we just don’t see those users at all, including posts/comments they make to other instances?

Correct

Hello,

Thank you for your comment.

If I remember correctly, on Reddit there was a /r/bestofImaginary, could that be an option? We could repost there the top content of the month from Starships, Witches etc, and also post general imaginary content?

To be honest, the niches seem a bit too small with the current size of Lemmy
