As a heavy tiktok user I would probably only use this if it had an algorithmic feed.

I can see a social media implementation of a communities section and feeding off lemmy that way. Essentially cloning reddit through their users and using lemmy communities content as a Kickstarter tool.

Realistically this graph wouldn’t include Snapchat, as it’s less of a “social media” than the others. Most people nowadays use it strictly as a messaging platform.

Spam implies it’s useless but it seems I can read my content from Reddit on that instance? While also staying on a single app and getting my regular lemmy threads.

Not sure why it’s a problem other than resource intensity, if the users have the option to block an instance as a whole it’s fine.

I don’t agree with them creating bot accounts and commenting on other instances posts though. Everything should be maintained within the instance.

The app experience is much better than the browser experience imo

Not OP but mostly for when content on one gets DMCA’d.

I only have Eweka and haven’t had any trouble finding any TV series or movies. No experience with audio books though, but I’d expect similar results since audiobooks are probably less strict with dmca than movies. I also don’t think Eweka respects dmca takedowns.

Just FYI hot is probably the worst way to browse for news and events, I’ve found top of 6h is far better if you check often, Active if you check every 24 hrs ish.

I recently hired into a data analytics team

I work in Data Engineering and have spent most my time on analytics teams. They don’t have a SWE/CS background and generally because of that don’t follow any good programming practices. In my experience style guides are hard to get them to follow properly even if you set up SQLFluff for them., I can barely make them see the advantage of not committing directly to main (at least we’re using git). It’s very frustrating.

Did not know you can’t run Windows containers on Linux interesting. Immediately assumed it was available but such a rare niche case.

And to run Linux containers on Windows requires essentially running Linux on Windows, and then the Docker engine on Linux.

I will say this is far easier than it sounds, it’s essentially just enabling WSL2 aland configuring volumes properly. I was trying not to intimidate someone who’s newer to a more complex hosting architectures

Running everything via docker solves both problems no matter which OS you choose since the underlying OS doesn’t matter.

Also recommend this because you can have a single docker compose file that will boot all your servers automatically instead of having to boot them individually on restarts.

Since you mentioned Plex, you can also incorporate your *arr stack/torrent clients (more complicated depending on which) into this if you’re using it.

Tagging onto this: Does anyone know of the easiest way to backfill Immich with photos from Google photos all at once besides manually downloading them from the Photos site?

This is great! But generally can’t see Mastadon overtaking any other major social platforms until it introduces an equivalent of For you feed from Twitter. The days of following specific people and hashtags is over, it’s tedious and I don’t give a shit about 3/4s of the feed.

2017-2020 Twitter was absolutely peak Twitter algorithm wise and thousands of users want that exact experience back, yet nobody will provide it.

Extra data to scrape through their servers.
