Although I originally thought that AskLemmy was made as an equivalent to AskReddit, it's clearly different. On Reddit's it was limited to open-ended "thought-provoking" questions meant for discussion, whereas here it seems like anything goes. The purpose of this community seems to be much broader, that or it's just totally unmoderated lol. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

But maybe there should be another community for just the sorts of open-ended questions that we saw on Reddit

I don't love the idea of a neutral vote, because it would necessitate you voting on each and every post for them to stop showing up on your feed, which is actually how the "hide read posts" seems to work right now, but without the neutral vote.

And fuck it, it may be a hot take here, but I don't dislike the idea of suggested posts showing up on your feed. It's a great way to find new communities you wouldn't have found otherwise, even if Reddit was a bit... heavy-handed in its approach

But yeah other than that your idea for showing the user the actual weights used for their suggestions algorithm does sound interesting, but I'm not sure how plausible it is (assuming many of these algorithms use machine learning and the weights are basically meaningless to humans)

And "flavored" sparkling water that just adds the faintest whiff of a scent and absolutely no flavor

Ohh interesting. I don't know, although I think that'd be rare because most people use big instances. Although maybe if a big instance goes down someone could reuse their domain name and remake all those accounts?

Can we talk about how bad moderation here is (I'm white btw)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The easiest way is to go to your instance's search bar and look up "[email protected]", in the case of this community. This should make it show up even if it wasn't added to the instances "index" (I'm also new here idk the terminology all that well), as long as both instances are federated, which they most likely are. But yeah it doesn't work on Jerboa yet. I used that to subscribe to the communities I wanted

Maybe you could use use site:lemmy.ml, because they federate with most instances, they're likely to have most of lemmy's content?

Nah those fucking 1%ers, they're ruining the country! /s

Welp, I guess I now have to buy a cat, and an axolotl, and a ferret, and a drawing pad, and a tumblr account, and a 360hz monitor, and a-
