Is everyone 5 days behind LW? I don’t quite really grasp how exactly there is a 5 day lag, shouldn’t Lemmy be close to real time? I don’t fully understand what’s going on in those charts but it looks like the delay will be gone in a few weeks/months?

As far as hosting it on a different instance, this is just kinda a playful experiment. If it goes well anyone can copy the list and put it a version of it on their server.

I clicked 5 of the links in the lemmydirectory github/wiki list and all of them the last post was 1 year ago. That’s what kinda sucks about all the indexes is that they’re either the extremely popular communities which show up in the communities tab, or extremely dead communities. The goal is to get a list of extremely active smaller communities and without changing Lemmy source code myself, this is the next best thing I could think of to make a list like that.

It’s impossible really to say. This was their official code citation:

Over the past few months, we have carefully recomputed historical votes on posts and comments to remove outdated, unnecessary rules.

I mean on the face of it, maybe they were telling the truth?

But they are a for profit corporation, and that year forward was when the enshittification really began. I guess I just have little reason to believe that they didn’t just alter the algorithm to make it look like there was more engagement than there was.

This recalculation happened shortly after reddit went closed source. I don’t think we should trust their word that they had all of a sudden ‘fixed’ the problem, whose fix just so happened to really drive their stock value.

It’s not misleading, it’s the reality of what happened. Their public post was PR justification. It was about that point on that every decision they made was for $ and not for transparency.

I hadn’t seen it here, I was scrolling through several pages of new communities and it was pretty much the only new active community.

I was trying to find some new communities to create an index for everyone (!index@lemmy.world) - or rather a community designed to allow people to make suggestions and upvote/downvote the actual “curated” list without moderator involvement.

It is locked for new posts by design, everyone can comment. The idea is to have 5 main posts and a discussion thread. The 5 main posts can act as a user voted community list, and I can change the layout if anyone has suggestions in the discussion thread.

I figured this would actually be a fairly quick way to build a curated list without any moderator involvement - essentially commenters and voters would create the list.

I figured most people here knew about it, but also just as many probably forgot about it, at least deep in the memory banks. ;)

Yeah that would be the hard part. I don’t know how to do that either. Reddit used to have auto-mod tools but nothing like that exists here to easily automate it.

I may just archive the flag idea until a newer version of Lemmy software adds those capabilities.

This was just a proposed discussion of rules, they’re not active yet so submit however you’d like currently.

I believe that was the British until the 19th century. I could find of no such thing for US commissions, although I am not all that versed on the history.

I mostly just picked the poster because it looked neat ;)

There are some punctuation errors in your title. It should read:

Plex is “overhauling” its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood “upgrades”

Those who use Plex to access personal media will find that their libraries are in a dedicated [hidden] tab, while the Watchlist will take up prime real estate in the top navigation section. Plex says it also streamlined the user menu for quick access to things like your profile, friends and watch history.

So they’re hiding the entire point of Plex deep in the menu and promoting things that make them money. Enshittification.

Also as a side note if anyone would like to help moderate this community please message me. I’ll try to respond in a day or two.

reddit was open source as well.

You’re absolutely right, this is the fundamental problem. We need to find a progressive to run the DNC where Keith Ellison almost succeeded (he didn’t win).

Ken Martin is also one of a handful who will likely be elected chair next since the current chair is stepping down.

That’s a really precise breakdown and appears to hit the nail on the head.

What would be the most effective strategy to wake them up to the new political realities? Because I don’t think even this election did that.

I don’t think there is but at the same time I think an over reliance on the sanctity of neutrality benefits those who lie and misinform (ie current right wing news/media control political machine)

yes very true, but please don’t do that, lol. do it here —> !politicalhumor@lemmy.world

I don’t really know which journals are good/bad beyond the big names ones, nature, plos, elsevier, etc.

You won’t be banned for posting journal links. The only time that would happen was if it happened continuously and had a pattern and multiple reports. I don’t think there has ever been a permanent ban here.

Id recommend looking up your topic in a big name journal just to play it safe. Better science, less misinformation.

I’d like to build/find a list of the best journals to add to the sidebar.
