What ways do you know to attract users?

Perhaps there are those here who have been with Lemmy since its inception. It’s interesting to hear your experience in promoting your community or instance.

Which one do you prefer and why.

Here’s what I have so far:

...care to contribute a link to their favorite site for an AI activity? I'd be really interested in seeing what's out there, but the field is moving and growing so fast and search engines suck so hard that I know I'm missing out.

Cure my FOMO please!

This has been going on for over a year now. About a month after I delete items to free up space, my account will be full again with the items I deleted before. Or I will update a contact and a phone number that they no longer have will be returned to their info. What am I missing?

I mean, I know the ultimate solution is to fully detach from Google. But while I'm trying to back my stuff up and make the transition easier, any help?

I'm currently using Jerboa but it's a little janky so I'm looking for recommendations

Edit: I think I'm gonna be using Eternity for Lemmy. Thanks for the suggestions!

This would save young Americans from going into crippling debt, but it would also make a university degree completely unaffordable for most. However, in the age of the Internet, that doesn't mean they couldn't get an education.

Consider the long term impact of this. There are a lot of different ways such a situation could go, for better and for worse.

I have once again succeeded with a prank, tho shorter than I wanted.

Hi, I'm sure there's a fair number of us who would like to see fantastic stories for the WPs that we find go unanswered.

I would like to know the LLMs that everyone might be using to answer the Writing Prompts that don't get answered, but they would like a story anyway. I doubt an LLM can match the creativity of a human writer, but I know hardly anything about Machine Learning, which is why I decided to ask here.

Just to be clear: I didn't mean for the LLMs to answer the writing prompts instead of humans. I just wanted to know if there are such LLMs so I could feed it the WP for my own satisfaction in reading. Not for people who would rather have a human writing them.

Cheers!

I mean realistically

This might sound like a question inspired by current events, but I've actually been thinking of this for a while and can give pointers to a few times I had asked this or talked about it.

The people who the masses look up to seem to have a strange way of dishing out their opinions/approval/disapproval of the groups of the world. Some groups can get away with being considered good no matter how negative their actions are while other groups are stuck with a high disapproval rating no matter how much good they might do, and a discussion on whether "culture" or a "cult" is involved almost always comes up.

An example of this is the relationship between Islam and Scientology, in fact this is the most infamous one I can link to having spoken about. People on a certain side of the thinktank spectrum (the same side Lemmy seems to lean towards at times) are quick to criticize Scientology even though they consider "classic Islamic philosophy", for a lack of a better way to put it without generalizing, as not inspiring a call for critique to see how one may change it. And I've always wondered, why? One at times leads people to trying to exterminate innocent groups, the other one is just "Space Gnosticism" that has a few toxic aspects but hasn't actually eliminated anyone. Of course, I'm not defending either one, but certainly I'd rather live in a stressful environment than one that actively targets me.

This question has been asked a few times, sometimes without me but sometimes when I'm around to be involved, and they always say (and it's in my dumb voice that I quote them) "well Scientology is a cult, of course we can criticize them" and then a bit about how whatever other thing is being talked about is a part of culture. This doesn't sit well with my way of thinking. I was taught to judge people by the content of their character, in other words their virtues, so in my mind, a good X is better than a bad Y, in this case a good cult should be better than a good culture, right? Right?

In fact, as what many might call a mild misanthrope, I'd flip it around and point out how, over the course of human history, alongside seemingly objectively questionable quirks people just brush off (like Japan for a while has been genociding dolphins for their meat value just above extinction "because it's culture" or how there are people in China who still think dinosaur bones are a form of medicine waiting to be ground up), no group/culture has kept their innocence intact, every country having had genocides or unnecessary wars or something of the like, things they ALLOW to happen by design. Then they turn around and tell so-called "cults", even the ones that have their priorities on straight compared to cultures, that they are pariahs and shouldn't count on thriving, even though their status is one that doesn't necessitate gaining any kind of guilt. I was a pariah growing up, almost everyone else revolved around a select few people that seemed in-tune to the culture, and they would say anyone who revolved around people outside the group (me for example) was "following a cult", and this hurt at the time, but now seeing all the wars going on right now, I might consider this a compliment.

My question, even though it by definition might make affirming answerers question whether they are pariahs or a part of the cultural arena, is why does nobody agree? Why are cultures "always precious" while cults are "always suspicious"?

I noticed these accounts are following a lot of ppl on Spotify including me nd it doesn’t seem like I’m the only one from looking on social media. Does anyone have an answer to this? Bots maybe, ppl spam following?

For example, my fave is Broad City. Chick-com == chick comedy

I loved it for getting inspired, now its a few regular ads and then 10 chinese fake products that cut diamonds, paste that glues everything possible, gives you superpowers as a bonus.

Im seriously getting tired of it.

I found it at the dollar store.

If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?
