Random sort? How do you do that?
Yeah discovery is kinda terrible. Luckily there's tools like https://lemmyverse.net/communities and https://lemmyverse.net/kbin/magazines, but something like that definitely needs to be built into Lemmy itself.
To get the community started you can put it on [email protected], sub.rehab if there's a counterpart on reddit, and maybe advertise it in any relevant places. After you get just one subscriber from an instance everyone there will be able to see it in search and the all tab.
For the community to show up on an instance, it needs to have been viewed by at least one person from that instance. (You need to be logged in for this to count).
I went to https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected] with my alt on that instance. Now you should be able to see it from there, even if you aren't logged in.
Also, I think for posts to be federated properly there needs to be at least one subscriber from the instance (just visiting isn't enough). I'm not sure about that tho.
You can build your own APK of Infinity with your own API key. You don't need to install any apps (other than infinity) and it can be done from your phone.
Screenshot in case the post on Reddit is removed:
![1. Backup your current settings in the App [Settings Advanced -> Backup settings (or so)] 2. Open the Google Colab Script and run the snippets with the instructions (Please read it carefully, you don't need ANY coding experience as you don't touch the code) 3. Uninstall old App 4. Install the APK 5. Login and restore your settings (if needed) If you see the name "{YourRedditUsername}-app" (or whatever you chose) while logging in, you were successful 6. Restart the app for the settings to apply](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/40a15949-b69d-4a5b-9c81-0f7177f0bdf3.jpeg)
Edit: Also, Geddit (Website) (F-Droid) (GitHub) works without the API, but you can't interact with anything, comments don't show properly, and I think the UI doesn't look very good.
I think copying Mastodon would be the best for this. You can mark the post as sensitive (nsfw), which blurs the images. You can also add a content warning that can be used for anything (nsfw, nsfl, spoilers, etc).
And then use tags separately for categorizing posts.
I think that for posts to federate to another instance, there needs to be at least 1 subscriber from that instance.
On reddit? Vote % is fuzzed a little to prevent spambots or something.
On lemmy I haven't noticed that
They changed it to soccer ball lmao
You can get to the left side of the house? I didn't even know that. Are you able to just dash over it?
The fear is sometimes overblown, though. It's awful for privacy, but it gets exaggerated a lot of the time, even in the comment you're replying to.
This isn't true. Websites only see some of the topics you visit, so in this example maybe Banking (or something a little more specific like savings account), and comics and animation. Here is the list of topics.
It's a good idea to stop using Google products and Chromium based web browsers, but you don't have to if you want to avoid Topics API. You can opt out of it (at least for now), and some chromium browsers like Vivaldi, Brave and Ungoogled Chromium will probably remove it from their browsers.
Imo the biggest problem with it (over other types of tracking), is that like RagnarokOnline said, any website can get the info, not just the advertisers. So say, the company you're working for could be told you're interested in Job Listings, or Retirement & Pension.
