Oh great, now I can check if my Taylor Swifties Markov Chains are more popular in Meta’s piefeed instance over Microsoft’s 🙄 /s

Folks, please don’t not fall for Popularity Biases. Just because one instance has more robots talking to each other, doesn’t mean you should join the community.

In that case, Piefed.social has much less users than Lemmy.world, so that does not really fit what you are saying.

  I’m saying it’s a terrible heuristic. So does science. So don’t fall for it.

    !movies@lemmy.world is almost only composed of a single poster sharing articles from the Guardian.
    
    !movies@piefed.social has a diverse mod team, with dedicated threads for movies, weekly discussion threads, and people sharing their own reviews.

    Now, what you have just exemplified is the way: community based introductions.
    
    So thank you for curating👍, and sharing your thoughts on them. 🫶
