Anyone looking for me, the user I'm replying to here is my new user

A server will only pull in everything from a community once at least 1 person on that server subscribes. Then it will start pulling in every new post and comment as soon as they're up.

Fixed link

Yeah, this was written before I put the PSA up and figured it out. Lemme fix it for ya

a primer on federation is prudent.

Something like this maybe?

/r/Tech, /r/Technology, /r/TechNews and others all exist. Which one is the "main" one?

Hey! Considering I just advertised your server on Reddit, thought I might put this here. Feel free to delete if you don't need/want it.

I’m big into tabletop, and would welcome (perhaps after Beehaw growth), a specific tabletop community here

I would subscribe to that in a heartbeat.

Yeah, posts & comments can't work in this way because each instance will have different ID numbers for their federated copy. I'm not even sure how to begin approaching this issue.

Jesus:

temperatures surged to more than 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in Dhaka. Other cities such as Rangpur recorded a high of 41 degrees Celsius – the highest there since 1958.

Global warming is absolutely crushing certain countries. There's going to be a lot of dead elderly and young children before all that is over.

This is gonna be another gif situation, isn't it? :))

It already says that at the top of the instances page

I don't think it's likely to have a UI element, devs are slammed enough as it is and there aren't enough new contributors stepping up (I'm trying, I really am, I just don't know Rust, Psql or Typescript enough).

Much better for there to be a community ruling about it which Beehaw members & contributors abide by

You do you, bruv

It's not allowed in a lot of instances because the moderation is absolutely exhausting and sometimes NSFL material.

The only limiting factor here is admins + moderators of an instance willing to put themselves through that.

1-man instances proven more superior to see through impersonation :P

Maybe? Could take a bit for user changes to federate out

I still see you as Juniper

Definitely better than what we have! More info is better

So, there's a fundamental issue here. A lot of the systems that Amanda is talking about aren't actually AI.

Chat-GPT, contrary to the blogosphere, is not actually AI. It does not have the capability for thought. It doesn't have the capacity to understand truth or fiction as concepts, let alone tell them apart.

Chat-GPT and similar systems are probabilistic language models. Essentially, I start it off with sentences (a list of tokens, if you want to get technical). Then it responds by essentially looking at the training data it's been supplied with and picking out the sequence of tokens that most likely is the answer the user is expecting, given the input. Notice that bolded text? The user is expecting. Not anything else. These language models are trained to spit out what users expect, nothing more, nothing less. If a user doesn't like the response, they give a thumbs down and the model recalibrates, introducing more noise and randomness into the result.

These language models are actually really great at reducing manual labor at certain tasks (writing cover letters, delivering predictable essays, I've personally used Chat-GPT for Shadowrun world-building) but they need to have a knowledgeable person using them because they absolutely will not reliably say true things. They will say whatever their training data says is the most likely thing the user is asking for.

Legitimately almost made my spill my beer xD

Yeah, AAA titles have been absolute trash in recent years. I've just been on indie games and a total simp for Paradox Interactive (sorry, I love grand strategy games) for quite a while now.

It's not a priority for the devs, for very understandable reasons. They just finished a HUGE performance pull into the github for lemmy-ui (the web platform). Anybody willing to make a new app or improve the existing one is absolutely welcome to do so.

I put up a PSA up about this in the Lemmy community, but this is how you link instance agnostically:

[Text](/c/vegan@lemmy.ml)

Text

I don't think you can on Beehaw.org. All communities on your instance need to be created by an admin.

Probably a good thing overall, considering the thousands of dead subs that are going to be all over the place come Monday.

abraxas said he was a typescript vet just earlier, maybe we can coax him into having a look? xD

Worth a shot at least.

EDIT: Just shot him a message

You're awesome man! This is direly needed. I'm just wondering how on earth to publicize this before the madness that hits on Monday.

Any chance you could find a place to fit this in the join lemmy site and do a pull request before then? I know it's a lot to ask, but it would be huge.

Maybe you could bring it up with the Kbin devs? I'm sure it wouldn't be too crazily difficult to have it work similarly over there. Just need to swap /c/ out for a /m/. Probably similar needed over here to translate /m/ to /c/ too.

Actually, the full URL is pretty easy to use if you know what you're doing (which of course, everybody is trying to figure out right now).

Just switch the search from "Community" to "All". Image from another thread

?

EDIT: W

Have you tried the community browser yet?

Well, gave it a shot. We'll see what happens :)

EDIT: Seems to be performing about average, comparing it to other posts on the community. Ok, point retracted. Just need more people putting stuff in from outside the US. Maybe I'm just still stuck in the Reddit "News means US news" mindset and need to break out of it.

Can confirm bang-prefixed is broken, c-prefixed works. At least from the website UI.

I'll put up a github issue for it, maybe somebody can look at that

Hi all, I know I'm not from Beehaw, but I do subscribe to a lot of your communities as I like your moderation.

Any chance of a World News community? The current News community is very US-centric, and it'd be nice to have a more international spot to put news.

I have no idea. I'm currently trying to learn typescript to turn a link like this into this dynamically based on the base URL you're seeing the page from. I'm lost and don't know where to start.

EDIT: WHAT?!?!? THAT WORKS ALREADY?

test

EDIT 2: MUST PUT PSA IN LEMMY NOW

Yeah, definitely a papercut I expect we'll see a lot of users hit. Early days yet, and more dev manpower needed. I'm learning TypeScript and Rust as fast as I can to help out xD

Do you mean at the technical level or UI level?

At the UI level, just have a look at https://kbin.social and you'll see a lot of very familiar posts. Also their posts show up here, just like any normal post.

Mastodon is a bit trickier. If you put hashtags in your post text, I think it shows up like a "toot" for users following it? Sorry, not a Mastodon user, don't really know how it works.

At a technical level, Lemmy is built on the ActivityPub protocol. It's how Lemmy servers talk to eachother, it's how Mastodon servers talk to eachother, and it's how a hell of a lot more services talk. Best analogy I've heard is ActivityPub is like the email protocol for social media platforms.

Definitely early days teething issues. There's gonna be thousands of dead communities in a week's time and it'll take time before things settle down and people come to a consensus on the major ones.

Did you change the search options from "Communities" to "All"?

All of the more fediverse-focused ones (fedditors, fedinauts, feddies, fedizens, etc) are definitely better. Lemmy is bigger than just Lemmy: we have users from Mastodon, Kbin and more seeing and replying to our posts. Let's choose a name that reflects that :)

Also, just to prove a point, if you're here from anywhere not Lemmy, say hello!
