Not quite the case.

When a user on instance B subscribes to a community on instance A, instance A begins to send in real-time the posts and comments of that community to B, which keeps a local copy of that community.

If instance B has 10 active users subscribed to that community on A, they’re all loading it from instance B. The end result is instance A only had to share each piece of content once with instance B, and instance B further shares it with the ten local subscribers, reducing the load on instance A.

The only exception is when instance B only has a single subscriber to instance A’s community, in which case replicating the entirely of the community is more work then that user just browsing it directly on instance A.

Tl;dr it’s most efficient for a large Lenny instance if most of its active users are on other instances.

I had this issue initially when my own instance, specifically with Lenny.ml.

In my case the issue was related to my subscription status. On the remote community does it show you as subscribed or subscription pending?

I showed subscription pending for a few hours, then I finally unsubscribed and subscribed again, and that time the subscription seemed to work correctly and commends started flowing to my instance.

If a large corp wants to do what you’re suggesting, they don’t need to launch a big announced project.

They can spin up a federated instance with just one user and no references to who owns it, then have patsy accounts on other instances subscribe to their instance and get all the data they want sent to their semi secret instance.

It would be very difficult to identify this in a large, healthy federation with tons of users and lots of small personal instances.

Post it on relevant Reddit threads?

In the US, with slander and libel, there are two standards.

If someone is a public figure, they need to show actual damages in order to be successful, this is the scenario you're describing.

If you are not a public figure, then you can sue for slander or libel without needing to show actual damages, just harm to your reputation or similar.

So the answer on that turns on whether Christian Selig is a public figure or not - I do not know the answer to that question.

Super cool approach. I wouldn't have guessed it would be that effective if someone had explained it to me without the data.

I'm curious how easy it is to "defeat". If you take an AI generated text that is successfully identified with high confidence and superficially edit it to include something an LLM wouldn't usually generate (like a few spelling errors), is that enough to push the text out of high confidence?

I ask because I work in higher ed, and have been sitting on the sidelines watching the chaos. My understanding is that there's probably no way to automate LLM detection to a high enough certainty for it to be used in an academic setting as cheat detection, the false positives are way too high.

It’s not quite identical but sniper elite 5 may scratch the itch for you.

Thank you for the answer.

Any suggestions on further reading?

Not sure then, sorry :/

Yeah. Did you down and up the docker and see if the issue is resolved?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Does your docker network setup have the lemmy server on an internal network with no external access? The default docker config is setup that way and caused what you're describing for me. Fastest fix is comment out the "internal: true" from the docker compose file, but you may want to consider the security implications of that.

I had no idea that subreddit existed… if you start a m4/3 community here I’ll join and submit some content.
