We can’t force people to join, but we can emphasize the negatives of Reddit and the ways Lemmy solves those. Things like:

  • Lemmy does not collect personal data and share it with third parties like Reddit does
  • Lemmy does not violate your privacy with tracking or ads like Reddit does
  • Lemmy’s code and algorithms can be viewed and reviewed by anyone at any time as-is, unlike Reddit
  • Lemmy is 100% self-funded and moderated by its own users across the world. Reddit and your data is governed by a single money-driven corporation with controversial leadership

People that value those things are the ones that will consider moving over. You might say that you’ve read over Reddit’s terms and conditions, and then present the Lemmy community as a private and safe alternative if anyone wishes to join?

Added this to the [email protected] roadmap

Some of the main bots that are posting these are all on the same instance that are dedicated to Reddit posts, so you can block those whole instances in your settings

Talking to a text-to-image model is kinda like meeting someone from a different generation and culture that only half knows your language. You have to spend time with them to be able to communicate with them better and understand the “generational and cultural differences” so to speak.

Try checking out PromptHero or Civit.ai to see what prompts people are using to generate certain things.

Also, most text-to-image models are not made to be conversational and will work better if your prompts are similar to what you’d type in when searching for a photo on Google Images. For example, instead of a command like “Generate a photo for me of a…”, do “Disposable camera portrait photo, from the side, backlight…”

One solution to this would be having humans in the board room instead of parasites. Not sure who’s idea that was

For a static site, I would personally choose Astro or SvelteKit—both of those are highly optimized for static sites. In my opinion the syntax of these frameworks feels closer to plain HTML/CSS/JS than React and will naturally teach you more about the fundamentals as you go.

If you’re just starting out, the most important thing is to really make sure you learn your JavaScript Web APIs and other HTML and CSS fundamentals as you go. The better you know these, the better your websites will be regardless of which framework or tools you choose. These fundamental skills will have the highest reward for you in the long term.

And ask a ton of questions here too!

The closest I know of is not completely free or open source, but it’s by Ubiquiti Labs and it’s really good for a mobile video editor. Mentioning it because it might still meet some people’s criteria:

Hey, any and all critiques are welcome, thanks! Some of these things are on the roadmap, and I’m taking diligent notes on the rest for future alpha releases. Appreciate you checking it out!

Hmm, it’s working on my end and the SSL certificate is valid. Can you try the backup domain and see if it works for you?
