Big or small, what was a win for you this past week?

31
 
 

I'll create a Weekly Wins post on Saturdays

I'll create a Accountability Check in post each Monday.

Maybe I'll automate both.

Accountability Check In (discuss.online)

I didn't check in last night due to some a evening mess that needed cleaning.

What progress did you make yesterday?

What do you think about having a regular State of Discuss.Online update?

  • Show some graphs of active users.
  • Assess the activity of communities.

Discuss

  • donations and costs
  • What's new?
  • What's planned?
  • Progress on ongoing things

Small or large, what are you counting as a win this week?

I did a little reading on databases.

I did not work on the Summary Functions and Maps exercise on Kaggle today.

But I did get extra rest to deal with the vaccine side effects.

Ultimate goal is to get a Masters Degree, so I want to make progress most days. Not sure today counts as progress, but I didn't really expect much.

Hopefully I feel OK tomorrow.

Are you working towards anything?

I just got mine today. Wondering if the Discuss.Online crowd is staying on top of COVID-19 vaccinations.

I made a post on a community on the Lemmy.world instance and I can only see it from my discuss.online account, not a separate lemmy.world account. Is this a federation issue? Not sure why this would happen if we’re federated with lemmy.world. Thanks for feedback!

Hey y'all. I'm not a huge fan of defederating other instances but I honestly don't know that hexbear is adding any value to our discussions. So far everything I have seen is trying to be edgy and gatekeeping with manipulative language. They also seem to enjoy stirring things up for entertainment.

So I pose the question is it worth it to stay federated to a seemingly bad faith instance for the few people who might understand and enjoy the lulz.

I would vote no but I'm open to the discussion.

Hello! Was hoping to make discuss.online my new home instance, but I'm having trouble accessing some communities on other instances:

They don't show up in communities search, and trying to go to them directly returns a server error page, with an error message given like:

FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/post/list?community_name=rpgcreation%40ttrpg.network&amp%3Bpage=1&amp%3Blimit=20&amp%3Bsort=Active&amp%3Btype_=All

I can access other communities on all of those instances...

... so I know it's not an issue with them being blocked, but it seems like they're not being fully federated either?

Anything I can do on my end to further investigate or attempt a workaround?

42
 
 

Hello,

I hope this is the good place to make this post.

I wanted to access this community from lemmy.today, but it seems that it cannot be found.

Is there anything blocking the federation from happening?

Thank you for your help!

Hi. (discuss.online)
 
 

What goes on?

45
 
 

for example i posted several times in this thread and no showed https://lemmy.world/post/2461610 is there a way of knowing where's worth posting to because i feel like i'm just wasting time if i'm posting and no one will ever see it.

An introspection on why bother to write a blog.

I cannot see comments made by lemmy.world instance when logged in to discuss.online. Not sure if any other instances are affected this way. I also cannot search some communities. I have not figured out a pattern. I wonder if it is intentional. Here is an example: https://discuss.online/post/202378. There are a few comments under the post, but I do not see them.

The fastest growing app will have the worst retention rates.

Imagine a world where all users are the same, regardless of social network. Imagine that if 1000 users start using a social app on day 1, that only:

  • 900 of them will be using it on day 2
  • 800 of them on day 7
  • 600 of them on day 30
  • 500 of them on day 365

Now imagine if network A hasn't grown in 5 years, but has 100MM users. Network B is doubling every 2 days, and is currently at 100MM users.

Which will have worse retention?
