I have so far been able to access and post on everyone else’s instance from my own. I do struggle with searching but I’ve considered that to be due to the large amount of people. Example was when beehaw crashed the other day.
So far, it’s been simple enough.
I believe I've had to put them in there if I wanted them to be easily searchable. It did seem I could access another instance but that mine didn't have any interest in collecting data until that was put in.
A very valid question I am also interested in knowing. I’m wondering how much management it will be for me - who created his own instance and am having to find all the other communities myself. Or if my instance is doing anything but providing me a unique instance address and name.
In a sense I promoted that idea because I believe that communication should be open and free. Frankly, I do agree with you that keeping the community to mildly tech savvy folks is quite nice indeed.
I welcome and look forward to reading everyone’s thoughts on the issue. I made some large posts because I wanted new folks to see they could come here - not that they will stick around ultimately.
It’ll be up to them.
I haven’t tried, but I imagine federating will be a hassle without a clear way for the other services to exchange responses.
Proxmox at home xD
I think it’s more people tired of the pollution that took place, and trying to preserve the clean and friendly one we have so far.
I do personally agree with saving old ones, but I’d highlight them as legacy and then make only the admin be able to create new content there with links to the new one still as suggested before.
Worth the read. I do wish as we post these for a summary of what the link is if it were at all possible. The one we got here was very limited and could’ve been a bit more expressive but it was absolutely worth reading!
I agree, which is why I offered no solution as of yet… I suppose best we have right now is resounding opinion of ‘most liked’ in a thread. I suppose that would lean itself to revealing the idea which holds the highest consensus.
In some tech groups, it may become feasible for malicious actors to feign intelligence, and that’s partly what I’m hoping this slowly curtails. Use of LLM and the rest in our discourse.
While I’m immediately tempted to request to be made a mod, I’m going to wait a day or so and see how frequently other new members start posting.
This is my day one, so not ideal for me to make any assertions or claims. I do enjoy the spirit that we have though so far.
I’m going to be honest and say it’s probably a challenge, but with the combination of ChatGPT4, I bet you be just as successful as I was! I was able to get my instance to run behind Nginx Proxy Manager. It took several changes but is functional now.
Reddit does not have the problem in the exact same way. To have to articulate the nuance would be exhausting and clearly not productive. Please continue to ask that question until this community has a valid answer.
