@threeduck@aussie.zone you’re getting famous
Fedi-famous (the best kinda currently)
Ascending among such legends like The Picard Maneuver, SatansMaggotyCumFart and Nicole, the Fediverse Chick!
Nicole my beloved! I sent you $10 I hope you are ok!
After you block a few hundred groups of anime and nonsense it’s surprisingly enjoyable.
HOW MANY MORE MOES DO WE NEED???
Who is moe and why is her midriff so popular???
Isn’t moe the bartender in the simpsons?
At least 1 more than the fucking aigen communities, I swear I have to block a new one every week.
What if I told you at least 50% of the moe communities content are aigen 🥹
Just means I have blocked them! If it has ai in its name or only posts ai generated content, its gone (except fuck_ai, for obvious reasons)
Six or seven?
WELCOME TO MOES!!!

Sorry about that, some people don’t know ani.social exists and create comms on the wrong instances. They’re supposed to show up in my local feed, but now they’re in yours and you don’t even appreciate them!
Comms are created on whichever instance you are using when creating them.
Block the ani.social instance and it takes away 90% of the anime groups.
but I don’t want to block their users
I’m pretty sure blocking (if you’re using a Lemmy instance anyway, which looks like you are) doesn’t block users, but only the communities from the instance you’re blocking. I think I’ve heard that Piefed blocks more extensively though, probably including users.

I was very supportive of Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world early. It’s lovely.
Still waiting for an app with curated block lists.
Piefed has keyword filters, that can already help a lot with filtering
Also PieFed allows blocking all users across an entire instance, whereas Lemmy does not (I know that you know that, but in case it helps anyone else reading:-P).
Doesn’t bluesky do that?
Maybe, idk

I’m still mad at the 196 mods for causing even more 196 commies to be made for me to block.
When you block that many groups how many new posts do you see? And how do you sort the posts?
I have only blocked a few groups but added a filter for posts containing trump or elon in the title as I get plenty of that crap from other sources.
Regarding the anime and furry posts, they come in waves so it’s not constant or if I want to get a break from the yiffing I switch between sorting by Hot, Scaled and Top 6hrs.
Not who you are asking, but I block a lot of communities (almost all of them political, when I want to look at political stuff I will go to other sources.) But I also sub to a lot of communities. It is possible for me to reach the bottom of my feed, but since I mostly check it between doing other things, it takes anywhere from a few hours to most of the day. And that’s with me setting it to “Top Day” as my primary filter. If I’m really bored I’ll do a pass through Top Week or Top Month. If I’m STILL bored, I’ll set it to Active or New Comments, but usually by then it’s like, “Okay time to go do something else” and I’ll try to find some other activity to do.
This is a feature, not a bug IMO.
I kinda love that people are willing to deal with these various technicalities and unknowns as a worthwhile compromise as long as it’s not [input any walled-garden here]
Cheers to all the brothers and sisters out there helping out their siblings!
Lemmy isn’t too hard, it’s just annoying at times. Like when your instance hasn’t downloaded the content of a given community and it just looks empty until you subscribe to it.
@threeduck@aussie.zone aussie.zone is your server where your account resides
In all everything from other instances are shown while in local only your instance. If you want to find subs just select all and search or got to all in the feed bar and subscribeDon’t sorry, they got answers
It is complicated, and I like a little barrier to entry.

I’m kinda in this boat right now too hahah
Any questions we could answer for you?
how do i find the users in my instance? I own the instance lol and I have no idea how to query for active users
Yet they have an email provider.
That’s just laziness/willful ignorance. The fediverse is just spicy emails
I still don’t fully understand what Fediverse and instance means.
The Fediverse is like a country, and an instance is like a town connected to the other towns in that country. You’re free to travel, visit, and interact with people in all the other towns that have their roads connected.
Each town has its own rules and culture, but they generally get along with all the other towns in the country. You can even choose to build your own town with your own rules and have a road connected to the rest.
On the other hand places like Facebook or Twitter are like huge, walled cities where you can only interact with people inside that city. They also claim the rights to all of your data to sell off.
Nice analogy, I might repost this to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Fediverse = universe of federated instances.
Federation = many entities connected together and interoperating, etc
Instance: every individual Lemmy site with its own domain name runs an instance (a running copy of the software) on its server.
Those servers are talking to each other so users on one can talk to users on another server. That’s federation.
Cool, kinda makes sense. Still don’t understand what the federated / defederated stuff that was all the talk yesterday. But I got a slightly more nuanced understanding. Thanks homie
An instance is literally just someone’s computer with the software running. All your stuff lives on someone’s computer. Different computers can talk to one another to allow people who put their stuff on those computers to see each other’s stuff (federate) or they decide not to, like cutting off a computer with a lot of batshit insane people (defederate). They’re running the same software so the language is the same. Like your stuff lives on lemmy.today, I don’t know where and who owns that computer, while my stuff lives on sopuli.xyz, which is a computer that is owned by some random Finn, but those computers talk to one another, so we get to talk to one another.
You mean like a server? I hope it’s not just Joe blows laptop with a cracked screen and bulging battery.
So federated is basically “you’re allowed to post shit” within this list of other server?
If that’s it then thank you, it makes a lot more sense now.
A server isn’t necessarily all that meaningfully different from Joe’s laptop, it’s just that Joe’s laptop isn’t exactly practical for running big things. My website runs on a real server, but it doesn’t really act much different from a computer I have in my living room when I remotely log into it, I can access all the same files, run all the same software if I wanted to.
Federated is just jargon for “the posts and comments from here will display over there too because my computer knows yours exists and runs the same software and the software does the legwork of meshing all of that shit together with mine”
Yes, “instance” is the word used on Lemmy for what is usually called “server” elsewhere.
how is feddi formed?

I don’t think the usability of Lemmy is the problem, it’s just users not wanting to tune out of mainstream social media. Everybody is there. Why wouldn’t they? It’s where everyone is. And convincing people that the massive shift in the type of content you can consume is worth it to not be consuming the content all your friends consume. It’s a catch 22. The only thing we can do is to post as much content in the fediverse as possible. I don’t think framing the general public as incompetent is helping either. Of course you didn’t make the comparison in the first place. I really hope the vast majority of the users of social media are able to Google something.
I find it is a lot easier to search through communities and instances on a desktop. Mobile is clunky even through some of the apps that have been developed are pretty good.
Tbf, PieFed’s categories of communities and user-customizeable and shareable Feeds greatly simplify the UX in working with communities (ironically more so on a mobile than desktop, surely an oversight that will be fixed soon).
Wonder how people manage grocery shopping in more than one shop.
