  • You’re correct up to a point. A statistical bell curve is present in most things. You’ll have those who lurk, those who comment, those who post, and those that will moderate in any group. Make that group bigger and each category will grow too. The group can skew the results, lower the lurkers for instance, by making them answer questions before joining. They self select themselves as being more engaged.

    But I agree, the current business models are big on numbers and not necessarily what is going on with those numbers. We’ve been taught quantity over quality in real world applications to our detriment. It’s sad really.








  • Correct on that. Every magazine/community needs wise souls sharing their knowledge and insights on things. Ask Historians and some science subreddits were a big draw for that.

    We could also use good story tellers who make for some interesting reading in the comments.

    Given time all of that will happen here.

    It would be nice to have assurances that if the instance you are on goes dark then another instance can take care of you and your stuff. I don’t know enough about the concept and workings to know if that’s the case.


  • I read not long ago here that if one person does a successful search and subscribes to a community/magazine on another instance, then the instance you are on will pull it for others to find easily.

    The federated connections are growing quickly. Stuff just takes time to propagate everywhere.

    I’m not sure how kbin and Lemmy truly interact. I could be wrong. But it was something I read earlier.



  • That is so cool! I was able to lucid dream in my twenties after discovering an article and then a book about it. I still remember the four lucid dreams I had. I then let the skill slip away. It was a lot of effort and I found I couldn’t be overly tired in order to do it. I’ll have to check the group out. Maybe I’ll build the skill again.
