  • You might be right, I definitely see your point. ActivityPub adds a whole new layer to this too. In the end though, isn’t the content we post no different than anything else published on the Internet? I guess it’s important to note that technically nothing public can be 100% prevented from being used in unwanted ways. However, there might be other ways (legally, socially, etc.) we could discourage it.

    Regardless, I’d love to get a better sense of how much this matters to us here on Lemmy—or if it should even matter in the first place

    Hot is likely just a blend between Active and New to give you a good balance of popular content and encourage engagement with posts that were just posted. The algorithm could definitely be improved, but I’d bet as Lemmy grows in content and content creators Hot sorting will get better too








  • It’ll be starting out as a web app, and then I’ll be releasing it on iOS/Android when the web app is stable.

    The main goal with this project is to create a friendly, high-quality, public-facing website that aggregates all Lemmy instances, posts, communities, etc. so that Google and other search engines will be able to index the content easily. It’ll also make Lemmy more inviting to the average person on the Internet. Beyond that, I just want to build something that’s accessible by default, supports moderators with good tools, makes community discovery easier, and just makes the whole Lemmy experience more fun in general.

    It’s gonna take a lot of work, but I think it’ll be worth it!
