This is is wild.

The wildest thing is that it has been like this for a while: https://lemmy.world/post/20575394

We disagree on software development and system administration being work or volunteering.

and you keep evading the answer. ;)

I'm not. It's been several times in this discussion that you use bad faith in our conversation. Don't be surprised when I don't want to post to your communities.

Ironically, the whole Lemmy activity makes it to you, just three days later

Parallel sending of federated activities to other instances. This can be especially useful for instances on the other side of the world, where latency introduces serious bottlenecks when only sending one activity at a time. A few instances have already been using intermediate software to batch activities together, which is not standard ActivityPub behavior, but it allows them to eliminate most of the delays introduced by latency. This mostly affects instances in Australia and New Zealand, but we’ve also seen federation delays with instances in US from time to time. This will likely not be enabled immediately after the upgrade, but we’re planning to enable this shortly after.

Has this replaced !gameart@sopuli.xyz ?

@Zagorath@aussie.zone @Nath@aussie.zone @lodion@aussie.zone , we're trying our best to use non-LW communities

You tried that line of argument already and I am not convinced.

Then let's agree to disagree.

When I am posting here I am not investing into the platform. When I make an edit on a Wikipedia page I am not expecting any form of validation or reward. It feels like “work” to you right now because you want to have someone to talk to.

I didn't say it felt like work, I said it takes time and energy. Volunteering takes time and energy, doesn't make it like work.

Not true. Who was getting paid by Reddit to write content there and ignore Digg? Who is getting paid by Bluesky to get people out of Twitter?

I was thinking more about YouTube and TikTok. Reddit used a different approach with bots accounts, as it's easier for text submissions than videos.

99% of early submissions were fabricated.

Bluesky isn't there yet. You follow football, how many top footballers have a Bluesky account?

It failed because our systems are so precarious that an instance with less than 20k users can bring the whole network to a halt. These things will not fix themselves. They need actual resources, time and money.

Feel free to advocate for more money. You could even try a Kickstarter like the Pixelfed owner. As I said, I'm the only one answering to you, so I'm not sure how popular your message is.

Then the lemmy.zip!

I'm going to suggest another perspective to what you just said: what about the people making the platform alive?

The community we're in is make of these people. Every week, everyone who's busy shouting into the void for their community share their experience, how to make communities grow (like this guide).

There are dozens of Reddit alternatives on /r/RedditAlternatives, Lemmy Mbin and Piefed are the only ones with a chance of succeeding. Because people believe in the project, and are okay to spend their time and energy to make the platform alive. Without them, Lemmy would be just another empty Reddit clone.

On a corporate social network, content creator would be paid by the platform, as they attract people to it. But here, nobody expects that, and everybody does it for free.

You mentioned in another comment struggling to find people to organically post to your football community. It's because there are only so many of us. Devs, sysadmins, posters, mods, everyone gives their time (and I say time, as I think indeed hardware costs should be covered) to the platform, for free.
