You know a lot about the fediverse right? Do you know what the deal is with the crossposting feature? https://sh.itjust.works/post/26060607/14239219
Yeah, crossposting could definitely use some improvements. I noticed these threads are missing that "cross-posted to" notation as well. You may be right that it's only for link posts.
The links just need to have a “no follow” attribute (which is something that Lemmy could add, if they haven’t already).
Sounds like a good suggestion to make on github. I don't know how easy it would be to do that for only reddit links, and I'm not sure how the devs would feel about that.
Also, from your link:
The correlation for the number of “dofollow” backlinks is a little bit weaker than that of the total number of backlinks.
Here’s what Tim said about this:
This could be an indication that Google values some nofollowed links from strong pages more than followed links from weak pages. #whoknows Tim Soulo Tim Soulo, CMO Ahrefs
Take this finding with a large pinch of salt. The primary aim of this study was not to analyze the impact of nofollowed vs. followed links and as such, we didn’t make any effort to isolate this factor.
But even if we assume that nofollowed links have no direct impact on SEO, they can still have an indirect impact because: They help diversify your link profile
Natural backlink profiles are diverse.
A way to merge crossposts visually would be nice. You could check on github if there's a suggestion for that already.
I thought crossposting is encouraged?
I did use the crosspost feature. Something's wrong with it?
SEO ranking is relative. IE: if reddit and lemmy have the same post title, the reddit one will show up higher since it has a higher domain authority.
I think this is also the main reason why youtube videos show up as top search results instead of the same video on youtube-alternative sites.
I think your previous question was clearer, so I'll just link to it: https://sh.itjust.works/post/25867272/14197383
My response:
I’m no SEO expert, but search engines penalize websites for gaming the system. I’ve already read someone suggest that Google is not sure what to do with the fediverse because it already looks like spam, and that may be why it doesn’t show up often in search results. That’s beyond my knowledge though.
If you don't like reddit, stop linking directly to it. Doing so makes them show up at the top of search results.

It reminds me of people who added Invidious links back in the day, but over time the individious instances would go down, preventing people from knowing which content was initially linked.
Yes, the archive.today links have that risk, but not the archive.org ones. Also, you can manually modify archive.today links to show the original link.
With the way this seems to works, can’t we just create thousands of links to let’s say Lemmy.world from all the other instances, to boost the LW domain authority? Shouldn’t all the crossposts links be taken into account in this calculation?
That might be one reason lemmy.world has a relatively high domain authority.
And if yes, then do 3 links here really make a difference?
Your 3 links won't make a difference. Starting a trend and spreading the word will.
Well you still have the direct links, so it doesn't make a difference.

The person who created the "List of Active Reddit Alternatives" is a dev who helped work on saidit.net. They deleted the post themselves and quit being a mod of that redditalternatives sub; due to their disgust with reddit and many of the users on it.
That subreddit is not trustworthy now. I recall someone sharing evidence of content they're censoring.
How do you find out what mastodon instances block others?
it’s slowly turning into the old twitter.
How?
Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance.
I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.
And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

I saw some weird pro-reddit content on other reddit-themed communities and then [email protected] went into archive mode, so I decided to make this to keep it clean from any reddit shills lurking in the dark. I'll start by posting some historical content.
By the way, anyone know what might be the most anti-reddit lemmy instance? I'd hate to find out that shitjustworks likes reddit and doesn't want a "watch reddit die" community on their instance.
Reddit is so untrustworthy. r/modcoord thread purges all pro-fediverse comments, then r/redditalternatives removes the thread exposing it.

Help encourage more reddit subs to move to Lemmy! Message the moderators of the subs you'd like to see on Lemmy. Here's an example script.
Moving to the fediverse
Hi guys, are you familiar with the fediverse? It's an open-source reddit-alternative that is owned and run by no one. So it doesn't suffer from the threat of a single hostile entity making drastic, unwanted changes, as we recently saw with reddit, resulting in the side-wide protests.
It would be great to have your subreddit join the fediverse! If you do, I would suggest not using lemmy.world, as it's already the largest instance and it's better to spread things out so no one has too much control.

You can even create your own instance like /r/futurology and /r/piracy did https://futurology.today, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com. If you do, you may want to seed your community with content https://futurology.today/post/166237.
Once you make a community on Lemmy you could sticky a post in your sub to let your community know, and/or create an automod sticky in each thread.

Why isn't anyone farting in school?
I was homeschooled previously with a small group of other children and we fart in class all the time.
Now I'm in public school for high school and no one is farting. I was very sheltered and public school is like a whole new world for me, so I don't know what the norms are. I've been holding it in but my stomach hurts and it leaks out anyway.
I don't understand how there are so many more people in high school and yet zero farts...
