Your interests are not identical with interests of other people.

Which is a problem

You are NOT supposed to downvote things that “aren’t really interesting”, you are actively ruining other people’s user experience on here by doing that as downvoted posts get less visibility.

And others dont fall into that classification, additionally it has been shown that the list’s author does not bother to actually check what is true about “scraping” accusations and just includes whatever accusation gets raised

But it has absolutely nothing to do with how it is displayed in Friendica.

Well yes, the whole concept of the fediverse is that of social media as a public service. All activitypub data is public.

As someone who watched the super bowl and actively looked at posts in the fediverse on my second screen, I think that @laurenshof@indieweb.social missed out on posts because he looked under the “superbowl” hashtag which had been taken over by people posting owls. Quite a few posts about the game and the halftimeshow happened under inconsistent hashtags like #nfl, #sblix, #superbowllix, #halftimeshow, #superbowl2025, #superbowlhalftime, #kcvsphi, etc. Some people used no hashtags at all and I found their posts by fulltext-searching for terms like “Mahomes”. Mainly seemed to me like people werent in agreement with each other on which hashtag to use for their posts.

Well ot kinda was true for the time of the big reddit exodus, there were very active and massively upvoted threads about one instance defederating from another, instances debating on whether they should defederate, beehive publicly wondering whether to ditch lemmy etc

This 100%. And there are other former-reddit-3rd party apps as well afaik

Which in turn is probably the reason why the devs dont focus on Web ui

Lemm.ee tries to be as middle-ground as possible and defederates from no “controversial” instances

Not true IMO, Lemmy is way more after interoperability than for example Mastodon

Are Lemmy devs aware that this would be a possible way of something to support?

That is not the point, the point is that you can. You can curate your feed yourself instead of relying solely on an algorithm or a curation team

Tbh I’m parroting what others have told me, I’ not sure which clients do that

A lot of clients filter out the 2nd, 3rd… instance of crossposted posts in their main feeds, so only the first one gets shown. Therefore if I crosspost I do it the following way:

1. First post it in a small community. All people who are subscribed to this community will see the post in this community.

2. Then crosspost to a bigger community. Everyone not subscribed to the first small community will see the post in here.

I think Blaze’s point still is relevant: if you are posting a lot on communities that large instances dont even know about, then your efforts will be harder. Ideally one could change something about that, for example use a user account on such a big instance to pull in those communities into federation.

Instances.social surfaces some of the server rules into a nice UI for mastodon instances but yeah, those things you mention would also be nice.

Fediverse Report writes in today’s edition that the NodeBB, WordPress ActivityPub plugin, WriteFreely and Ghost developers “recognise themselves as the ‘longform’ people.”

Reposting based on a signal sounds like the best idea.

Because we kinda have the alternative in place: lemmit chose the way of replicating reddit posts onto a committed instance. That means that someone still has to manually go, look at - for example the F1 - lemmit, choose an interesting post there and cross-post it to the relevant lemmy community.

If the repost into a relevant lemmy community happened automatically based on a signal, that would take off work from users.

Could that signal be the number of interactions in activitypub for a sportsbots post? Or would it be the Twitter interactions?
