Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing

  Shhhh 🤫 it just works, there’s no need for change

  yeah, who would ever be on such an instance
  haha

• sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Eh, I chose this instance because it was one of the top 5 or so, not because of the name. I would probably hesitate to share a link from this instance, but honestly, I don’t do that anyway, I generally just share links to actual articles linked here.

  So for me, it’s really a non-issue. I have much larger concerns about how Lemmy works in general than naming of any one site, such as the one mentioned in the OP (no indication from domain name that it’s a Lemmy instance, one instance lagging on updates can break when viewed from other instances, etc). So to me, it’s going to stay niche because the user experience kind of sucks.

  I’m so used to tech and Linux stuff that I first thought that it was a special interest instance for shell scripting and TUIs. Now, it’s a toss up between “shit just works” and “sh! It just works”.

  As a new person to lemmy and the fediverse concept as a whole, when I was looking for an instance to join it was the unique URL that drew me here. And the fact it’s run by a fellow wargoose. I can see why people would dislike the URL though. So far I like it here and hope it doesn’t change.

  The anti-gtld propaganda is spicy hot lately, anything non-.com is a keyboard rage trigger.

    A lot of people have uneducated opinions on gtlds, but as a professional DNS engineer: fuck gtlds. They’re literally corporate cash grabs that make my life much, much harder and actively make the Internet worse.

    • NicolaHaskell@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Thanks for proving my point lol how do gtlds make your work much, much harder??

      actively worse

  “I can’t link this, it doesn’t fit within my corporate values!”

  Yeah that’s why I’m here. The name makes this place much more difficult for corpo scum to infest it.

    need an instance named titfuck.gore. no one wants to cite that as a source.

    And that’s why most of us know to expect this to stay another largely pointless, niche project with little broad impact.

    We’re not hitting 100k MAU, we’re not improving the internet, we’re not dethroning reddit. We’re just existing alongside them, in their shadow, with a slow front page of largely mid nonsense that sticks around for a couple days, with several communities’ comments mostly coming from 1-5 “power”-users.

    And people want it to stay that way.

    • CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      What does getting bigger actually accomplish? I’ve been through enough Eternal Summers to know it sucks to lose a place you like to the swarm of terminally online bootlickers who infest every place that actually has people they can rule over. I’m good

    I see you are on lemmy.one, do you know that your instance admin seems to have been missing for the last few months?

  You can link from almost any other instance. This is a skill issue.

  Chose the instance because of it being the first one that I found that wasn’t overwhelmed by new sign-ups of refugees from the sub place. Stay because of the name.

    I believe that the most socially acceptable way would be (and remember that it’s an example, and not directed at you):

    “fuck you, and your lil bitch ass attitude. You don’t know your father because he never even liked you, your mother blows strangers for bags of gummy bears and validation, and your ears look weird”

  Would a URL shortener work better for sharing Lemmy links/instances?

  source

  • howrar@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You want the url to look less suspicious, not more.

    source

    • renrenPDX@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Maybe a Lemmy specific url shortener that only works for lemmy posts.

• AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Isnt that the point? Dont like it, use another instance. The point of federation is that you can choose the website you use without choosing the group of people you interact with. Thats why it should be more common. I dont want to lose contact with people because they wanna use messenger or snapchat. I have to use both on a daily basis and i hate it.

  source

  • Not_mikey@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yeah you can choose the instance your profile is on or where your browsing but you can’t choose what instance a post was made on. If I see a meme on lemmy and want to share it with a friend who doesn’t know about lemmy depending on how I get the link it could either be for the cached version on my instance or the “actual” link on the instance where it was posted. It seems the default behavior on the web ui for the share button is to do the cached version but depending what client you use this can be different.

    It makes adoption harder if when people actually do try to spread posts the person on the other end is afraid to click it.

    source

    • TORFdot0@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The whole point of federation is that content is coming from all sorts of different sources all with different levels of trust.

      The default sharing behavior should be the cached version of a post, because the instance you’re on should be trusted to defederated from harmful instances and so that trust should carry over to those you interact with.

      You should pick an instance you’d be happy for your friends to see in the links you share them, and send them your local links instead of the poster’s instance link.

  • Trainguyrom@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    While I agree less common domains are usually red flags, I love that the Fediverse has largely embraced them due to the hobbiest nature of the Fediverse. We need more acceptable TLDs because there’s only so many .com .net and .org domains to go around

    source
• nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I won’t go so far as to use the word “normie” like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it’s fine. I’d rather have slow growth, thanks. I’m not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don’t want to hang out with them.

    How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they’re all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.

  Cross-post the thing to another instance, then share that link.

• atzanteol@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I’m sympathetic… I’m not sure I’d be willing to share a sh.itjust.works link to my company #general slack channel.

  Though that is far from the biggest problem Lemmy has for adoption. Many communities are simply flooded with 15yr old tankies.

  source

    Usually I’ll be sharing either screenshots or just straight ripping the meme to send directly. But I also don’t generally communicate with work colleagues outside of work

    source
  • Dyskolos@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Jeez. It’s just a link to just a site. What is the problem with that url? If it’s share-worthy, just share. If people don’t click it because of “bUt iTs nOt a .CoM!” screw them, bad luck for them. People need to study and pay a lot to be allowed to drive a car, but any technically challenged dildo can use the interwebz without the slightest clue about anything, and is also allowed to voice an opinion about it.
