When might it integrate Lemmy?

I think I might try that approach, you’re right it could motivate a subset of people. We have a pinned post spot at the top of the sub-reddit I’m going to use again in a few days. When I used it before, I’d guess a few thousand people read the post, but it seemed to generate very few people moving to the Lemmy site.

Slightly off-topic, but how are you finding encouraging Reddit users to make the switch to Lemmy?

I mod r/futurology, which is close to 20 million subscribers, but most of the growth for futurology.today has come from within the fediverse. Any tips for encouraging Redditors to migrate?

If you haven’t seen any of the classic late 60s/early 70s horror movies, they are worth checking out. ‘Rosemary’s Baby’, 'The Exorcist, ‘Don’t Look Now’, or ‘The Omen’ are all fantastic.

It should also worry investors open-source AI is only months behind the big tech leaders. I looked into AI voice cloning lately. There’s a few really pricey options. Like $25 a month for a couple of hours voice cloning.

However, there’s already an open-source version of what they’re selling.

I wonder when this is going to seriously affect world oil demand? People used to think “Peak Oil” would be when supply was constrained, it turns out it will be when demand is constrained.

A US company just announced 1,800 new jobs manufacturing 10GW of solar power for India. Those post-coal jobs are out there, it would help if government bodies helped bring them to where they are needed.

Maybe I’m missing something, when I try to interact with Mastodon from futurology.today there’s zero ability to interact. It seems to give the option to send DMs, but when I test it, they never arrive.

The Lemmy dev does not want Mastodon to be integrated into Lemmy.

Something tells me this isn’t the last word on the issue. If the fediverse concept is to succeed, then its two (current) largest players need to have some cross-functionality.

Perhaps the fediverse will get big enough that third-party developers will step in to fix this. Twitter & Reddit both benefitted hugely from the extra functionality third-party developers enhanced both platforms with.

Its anathema to the whole concept of the fediverse that one person - a lemmy dev - gets to decide something so important.

I wonder why Mastodon.world has done so comparatively poorly. I also wonder if Mastodon could be more integrated with Lemmy would that improve things. As awful as twitter is these days, the way it embeds so easily into other content, which lets you click straight to its comments is invaluable. No doubt its on Elon’s list of things to ruin, and he’ll get around to it eventually.

I don’t know that they’ve gone anywhere else, although it did prompt some of us to create a fediverse instance for the subreddit.

I help moderate one of the larger subreddits (r/futurology) & its striking how much the recent issues have demoralized people. We track inactive Mods monthly, where there used to be 5 or so a month, for the last two months its 25 or so, which is the majority of the mods on that subreddit.

I wonder what motivated any DOS attacks.
