My all time favorite

Can you link to a process for purging bot accounts?

Mid-bear-cycle. It'll be back in a year or two.

Huh? It’s just greedy owners. Don’t overthink it

The GitHub repo will be focused on software-level initiatives, whereas I’m talking more about product-level.

If the team is that small, then they need more people involved in product ownership, which is what I’m interesting in contributing towards (as others are too, I assume)

Mine got blown up a day or two ago before I had enabled Captch. About 100 accounts were created before I started getting rate-limited (or similar) by Google.

Better admin tools are definitely needed to handle the scale. We need a pane of glass to see signups and other user details. Hopefully it’s in the works.

Craigslist’s competitive advantage has diminished to the point where people that I know don’t even use it anymore. Not a great example.

They went over a decade with basically zero innovation. Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp happily waltzed in and took a huge amount of market share.

I do agree with your main point however, that Lemmy/ActivityPub needs clearly communicated strategic vision to avoid being overtaken by corporate interests etc.

How do I avoid these?

If GitHub is the best way to get in touch for non-dev initiatives, then I'll do that. Thanks.

The issue with that approach (too busy to build structure), is that it’s a never ending battle. There is never a good time. It’s an easy trap to fall into.

The best way to be successful with products like this is to invest time early in building out the team. By doing so, you’re multiplying output and limiting tech debt.

I would even be happy to help with helping build out the team (identifying gaps, key roles, volunteers) as that’s something I’m experienced with.

This is the huge problem with Masrodon imo. Twitter has all kinds of crazy algorithms, often bad and leaning towards hate/fear. Mastodon seems to be on the far other end with very little to drive engagement.

This is why a Reddit-type use (Lemmy) is perfect. The algorithm is mostly human driven with upvotes/downvotes.

There is unfortunately not a good tool to help with what you’re looking for.

The best way is to browse to a few servers and see if they feel snappy. You can click through without an account.

https://wirebase.org is ours, which is hosted in the US

For sure. It’s super young. It’ll continue to grow most likely.

There are challenges with horizontal scaling due to the way that Lemmy is architected. Sounds like this will be a priority for them to improve

I left skillsets out of my original post because there are many ways for people to contribute beyond sys eng. Generally though - industry experience in tech.

I prefer working in teams rather than solo - assuming many others do, too!

Getting a core group together to collaborate on hosting, first, and approaching with some structure so that its resilient. In addition to that, identifying areas where we can fill Fediverse gaps or innovate (onboarding processes came to mind initially), but totally up for discussion on what others think could be most beneficial.

Nostr seems more like Twitter? Or are you saying that it could be adapted for Reddit-like usage (similar to Mastodon->Lemmy)

Finally!

How do you send the GDPR request?

Nice, thanks for clarifying

I wish I could give you an award

I’ve been considering doing something very similar. Will PM you

https://wirebase.org

Keep in mind that moderation is always going to be handled locally by whichever instance the community is on.

In this case, this community is hosted on Lemmy.ml. That means that moderation is up to them, and will align with their specific views.

You can and should use a community browser to search for communities, and subscribe if they are on servers that align with your views.

Gotta start somewhere! Good for short term collaboration while we spin up matrix

That can't be real - there is no better option for <10mbps?

Lol, what community was this

Nothing prohibits using the same email account on different servers. The servers don’t “talk” to each other in that way

Heads up, we’ve created a space on Matrix.org. Here’s the link to enter, if interested! We will be migrating over from Discord https://matrix.to/#/%23fedicollective%3Amatrix.org

That would be true for metrics/performance reporting, yes. It would make sense to build something that was opt-in for instance owners to submit data.

Regardless of the mechanism -- there will need to be some way to evaluate the performance impacts of changes that are continually being rolled out.

Thanks :)

Thanks for the info! I'll check out both GitHub repos and the matrix channel

Why would users from here migrate to Threads?

wefwef.app is absolutely incredible once you add it to Home Screen. Feels 90% as good as Apollo.

Thanks. Any chance you could share a link so I know what to look for?

I’m just talking about contributing time to helping develop a platform. Corporations are good at process - so yes, there are definitely lessons to be learned there that should be implemented in any platform that is quickly growing (eg: putting a team of volunteers together to help out)

Is there a way to host with high availability? Or is that a kubernetes feature?

I'm talking about Lemmy as a product - not specific to any instance
