Have you considered taking the approach from https://phanpy.social/, and let the sorting algorithms on the client side?
Not only would make your work independent from Lemmy, it would give you complete freedom to choose how to implement this.
Lemmy account age and Github experience are absolute orthogonal data points, how is that even something to be brought as an argument?
If you want to suggest features or improvements, please take a look at the Github repository.
The solution is to go to subscribe to Reddit RSS feeds so that we find stuff to repost here.
(Only half-joking)
All the crypto stuff is opt-in.
Laudable effort, horrible execution.
It would be faster and easier to adopt any solution like this if it was implemented client-side.
Right at this moment, it seems that any requests to your server return 500. :(
Seems to be working fine now. My instance can find yours without any problems.
Can you just tell us what is your domain, so we can help you troubleshoot it?
The ones I’d be definitely interested about adding:
Ok, but the whole idea of Fediverser is to let people get rid of Twitter/Reddit by giving people an alternative source of content. Sending content there would make those platforms more interesting, not less.
But why would you want your comments to be on Twitter?
If you mean that posts on Lemmy would be mirrored to Twitter, no.
a lot of low-quality posts that have been vetted by no one
It would be posts made by relevant reporters. So some type of vetting has been done already - by their own editors. ;)
Also: this could be implemented in a way that only presents a queue of posts to moderators, and moderators could then choose what gets published.
quality of Twitter and Reddit deteriorating
This is not really relevant. The idea is to get just the posts from the sport reporters, not the whole comment thread.
FYI: it looks like Trump is going to win the popular vote on this one as well.
Open source or GTFO. :)
Seriously, Lemmy is AGPL. Any client you do and any functionality you build on top of it must be AGPL as well.
Now I am confused, are you able to make changes to the Lemmy codebase? A fork? If you want to find a way to fund development, why not just work with the current team?
As a concept, it could be a valid approach. But you need to put actual numbers to see if things make sense:
I think you’ll see that as soon as you start asking people to put money and to feel like they “own” it, the demands will increase and so will the costs.
For reference, the one coop I am somewhat familiar is from Mastodon: cosocial.ca. Each member pays CA$50/year for an account. I think this is particularly too expensive. There are other cheaper “commercial” alternatives that charge less:
Ok, which part of “multiple metrics” is not clear here?
Every risk analysis will have multiple factors. The idea is not to always have an absolute perfect ranking system, but to build a classifier that is accurate enough to filter most of the crap.
Email spam filters are not perfect, but no one inbox is drowning in useless crap like we used to have 20 years ago. Social media bots are presenting the same type of challenge, why can’t we solve it in the same way?
Or you could do the same thing that https://lemvotes.org/ does and follow the communities and actors to build this database on a separate server, which then can be used by the client(s).
