Question about “front page” of Beehaw: who makes the logic for Active, Hot, New etc - is this part of Beehaw, or common functionality provided by Lemmy?

I do miss something more like “Best” I think from Apollo, and to see more new threads. I’ve subscribed to a number of communities over the last few days, but every time I go to beehaw.org to see the latest (yeah, a pattern from Reddit that might not fit that well here), after a few days now I see mostly the same threads, or at least the same as yesterday and the day before.

Would it be more up to the functionality in an app to provide a more customized front page, set a default sorting, hide posts I’ve already read etc, or is this functionality we can suggest for the instance to implement?

Beehaw specifically is more restrictive than most Lemmy instances. I think after a while some instances will stay fairly general with few, chosen communities, while others hopefully go deep down into specific niches with all sorts of specific communities. Or I don’t know if “hopefully” is correct, I don’t know what’s healthiest for the Fediverse yet. I just hope that after a while we will get strong and healthy niche communities on a lot of weird stuff.

Let me just keep it civil and say that we absolutely never will see eye to eye, and I have no interest in trying to change your mind. I’ve said my peace on your argument technique and definitely stand by it after your reply, and I’m happy to leave it there.

Tesla apologetics, who have a vested interest in it being correct

I think this is a little dangerous way of arguing. Now suddenly everyone that argues in favor of Tesla is an apologetic with a vested interest in being correct?

Everyone making a forum post have a vested interest in being correct, and you can make arguments for a case without being an “apologetic” / apostle / evangelist / fanboy etc.

In short, I don’t like this way of making arguments and trying to group all your argument opponents into some non thinking hive mind.

Ok this is where I got confused. I created several mastodon, matrix and lemmy accounts recently just in case and have started to figure out lemmy, mainly here on Beehaw, and subscribed to some communities on other instances.

But then I think I mixed up mastodon and matrix a little. I tested some apps like Elements to setup matrix, but i couldn’t figure out how to connect that to the fediverse.

But I have a trial for Ivory now. Can I set that up as my primary look into both Mastodon in general and wider the Fediverse and Beehaw? How do you connect to Beehaw from a mastodon account or a mastodon app?

It would be nice if it was tag based or something similar, so it could work across instances.

I don’t know what that other link posted is, which I got warning for when I tried to visit, but I believe Beehaw primarily uses OpenCollective, and this is overview: https://opencollective.com/beehaw

Just cruising around some cars listening to the radio in Forza Horizon. Fishing in Shadowprey Village in World of Warcraft. Improving flow of traffic in City Skylines or Transport Fever 2.

My question is more about lemmy in general: I have subscribed to the Technology community here at Beehaw. However, there is also for example [email protected]. Will I get more / different content if I subscribe there as well? Is there a way to have communities / topics you can subscribe to across instances?
