Figuring this thing out
I did, but mostly I just saw that the UI was different, and it had microblogging. So Kbin, practically speaking, is just Mastodon and Lemmy mixed into the same site, but on different tabs? That's all I'm getting. It calls communities 'magazines', but seeing as lemmy communities from other instances are treated as magazines, they're basically the same? Same with the 'tweets'?
I don't love the idea of a neutral vote, because it would necessitate you voting on each and every post for them to stop showing up on your feed, which is actually how the "hide read posts" seems to work right now, but without the neutral vote.
And fuck it, it may be a hot take here, but I don't dislike the idea of suggested posts showing up on your feed. It's a great way to find new communities you wouldn't have found otherwise, even if Reddit was a bit... heavy-handed in its approach
But yeah other than that your idea for showing the user the actual weights used for their suggestions algorithm does sound interesting, but I'm not sure how plausible it is (assuming many of these algorithms use machine learning and the weights are basically meaningless to humans)
The communities are mostly there, they're just silent. Like 'last post was two years ago' silent. And like, I can't create the huge volume of content I consumed there you know
I saw, I think on the infamous AMA, someone mentioning that on places like Reddit the users are conformed by around 90% lurkers, 9% active commenters, and 1% active posters. I fall on the 9%
thanks for using Leebra!
