Otter@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Doppelgangers now exist, how do you authenticate yourself?English16·3 days agoIn that case, that’s the giveaway
Otter@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called?English26·10 days agoI’ve been using threadiverse, but I prefer forumverse
It’s immediately clear what it’s referring to, and it leaves it open to other compatible platforms once they implement activity pub nicely. Being able to subscribe and post to official support forums from the forumverse would be a cool promo point
Also people refer to many things as “threads”. Conversations, comment sections, discord has threads. Forum is much more clear
Otter@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called?English4·10 days agoOr “aggressive”
Otter@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Snapchat scraps ‘simple’ redesign as it loses users in North AmericaEnglish11·12 days agoIt stopped doing that a few months back, but it still randomly asks every now and then. I wish Android could deny permanently
Otter@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anybody else annoyed by news headlines being predominantly clickbaity now?English14·16 days agoIt could be worth posting about it in !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Otter@lemmy.caOPto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Brand new guides for Lemmy and the Fediverse. Looking for feedback!English1·17 days agoThis is good feedback, I’ll note them down for the next set of changes
I wasn’t sure which article to link, there are many opinion articles with their own takes on it

Here’s the Wikipedia
Otter@lemmy.cato linuxmemes@lemmy.world•made a Linux community all about customizing your distro (link in the body)English33·23 days agoFeel free to promote it in !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
What is the 48.4% for Reddit, since it isn’t decentralized at all?
Otter@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you feel about posting to a dead thread?English14·27 days agoI get comments on months old posts, I’m fine with it since it will help future users
If the person is looking for a discussion (ex. They need help with the software I posted about), then it’s usually better they make a new post
Otter@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?English8·29 days agoIf it’s a public list, feel free to share it on !buycanadian@lemmy.ca :)
Otter@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•An Open Source Pioneer Wants to Unleash Open Source AI RobotsEnglish11·29 days agoWhile it’s still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of “open source AI” are better than others
The OSI one is decent
Otter@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•AceCoding.social - Vibe coding on the social web based on the semi-formalic language ACE (Demo)English3·30 days agoThe format of the post also looked similar to spam posts at first glance. A lot of them are pushing AI things
Otter@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?English34·30 days agoWhile this won’t be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back
I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.
Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn’t really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I’ve made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get
Otter@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.English24·30 days agoThis does happen with comments sometimes. I go into a post and someone has already eloquently said what I would have said (often better than I would have). So I upvote it and move along
Otter@lemmy.caOPto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Pixelix, a 3rd party app for PixelFed landed a few days agoEnglish2·1 month agoGood to know, Pixelfed logins have consistently been buggy for me. I hope they improve that over time
It’s excellent! I think it has the potential to go the way of Blender and Krita, where it becomes the popular choice regardless of free / open source
Yes it’s hard to tell what they’re looking at, but I imagine the less info they can collect from your device the better?
I usually lookup ‘alternative frontends’ and then find a list like this on github type sites. They go out of date often

The idea is that people can block what they don’t want to see. Some users/communities/instances are more open, and others are more closed off. There’s nothing stopping you from finding a place that aligns with what you want
If someone doesn’t want to interact with you, you’re not going to accomplish anything by forcing them to interact with you.
