  • Yeah, I just thought about my suggestion more and one thing I think that has given reddit so much staying power is the fact content sticks around so long, I’d imagine many of us here would specifically search in reddit for reviews or help with something and found a like 3 year old thread with the answer.

    So… Pruning is probably a bad idea lol.

    Unfortunately threadiverse searchability is pretty bad, assumedly because of the nature of the fediverse with content being copied across instances essentially I am sure its a little more difficult for an indexer to properly handle it, not to mention somehow deciding which instance to specifically link to for a certain thread. On top of that, it wouldn’t surprise me if all the corpo search engines would deprioritize most fediverse sites out of self preservation 🤷

    On the “warming them up” that makes sense in theory, but usually if I’m making a rare post it’s to engage with a group of people, if I don’t see the engagement I’m probably not going to go there again to post whatever it is because what’s the point if no one sees it anyway?

    Would it almost be better to prune old communities? I agree it’s off-putting to find community for an interest and seeing last activity like a year ago, doesn’t make you want to post since it seems inactive.

    One thing about how reddit/lemmy works though is people subscribed (assumedly still active on Lemmy elsewhere) might still see that content vs a forum where no activity means very few visit the site.





  • I strongly relate to your experience, I am currently employed and basically doing my old job + learning devops/coding for our internal site.

    I too have set up my own home NAS (proxmox with two computers running as nodes) with LXCs and a VM for HA. Have moved out of the cloud as much as possible and trying to cut ties to the major corporations wanting to profit off our data.

    I am a leftist, nearly Marxist and work at a fucking financial institution that I hate because I have to make an income to help support us.

    I wish so much I could work somewhere that aligned with my values, and want to quit so badly but I can’t leave us without my income for long and the job market sucks and it feels like learning coding/dev ops is a waste of time because of LLMs even though the evidence that they’re able to do the things claimed is non-existent (they’re helpful for sure but companies are seriously massively over-inflating their current capabilities and making stupid decisions because of it).

    I want off this corporate bullshit ride.
