TL;DR: Articles on mastodon will now automatically link to the author’s fediverse handle.

It’s not that they don’t want an algirithm. They just don’t want one that’s profit motivated.

Are the apps not compatible?

They can always claim the second even when it’s the first.

Pretty sure India is mostly selling Russia’s old arms back to them. The new stuff should probably be interpreted as an attempt to build a counterbalance to China in the region (as in deliberate, longstanding US defense policy).

Have you checked out !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world

But it’s also clearly partisan with just enough play to avoid a boycott. Everything the authoritarian president does to initiate the war has a very direct analogue in actions taken by Trump and his administration.

Also bombing civilians?

It’s probably not worthwhile to transfer the data. I would say the subscriber base alone get’s you pretty fare.

Love the idea is a “similar communities” button but I don’t know if I’d say searching communities is really that hard.

I think there’s some pretty low hanging fruit here, but most of it is platform specific.

On Mastodon, I think this looks like a revamp of the for you section. As it stands the posts are mostly human curated and the people section is mostly a static list. That is, if you’ve scrolled through the list once, that list will not be different next time unless you’ve followed a significant number of people outside of it. It would be nice if it at least showed you the next 20 or so by the same metric.

On lemmy, I think making the functionality provided by the trending communities community a first class feature would go a long way.

Yeah, doesn’t seem like a ban was at all justified. This part stuck out to me:

I believe the best way to moderate a small community such as this in order to facilitate it’s growth is to be as hands-off as possible.

Except as it relates to meta-posts, huh? That’s a strange choice for a supposedly community driven model.

All that said, I am very much in favor of some of the things you suggest (particularly dedicated threads for discussion on each new movie) and I think it would probably go a long way towards improving the real-world value of the community. I think this is particularly true as it seems unlikely that with 1.1k subscribers the community has properly filled their niche.

Do you think there is any way the mod of !moviesandtv@lemm.ee would consider some sort of deal wherein you moderate and run this spinoff community with more structured discussion, while they link to and officially endorse the community (of course contingent on ongoing good relations)?

Lemmy had 4 years of development to iron out bugs

Lemmy had 4 years to accrue technical debt and make foot-guns first-class features. A rewrite is probably exactly what it needs.

I think how quickly this project has gotten to near feature parity is a testament to how slow Lemmy development has been. Think about scaled sort (a feature that has been hotly requested since the migration) and how long that took to get merged in. A sort should not by any means be slow to implement.
