probably an “S-curve” type relationship

people who like content sorted by “top” or “hot” or upvotes or boosts and so on also need a large diverse number of people viewing and clicking to create a meanigful / representative ranking of content.

can each kbin/lemmy/etc. also query the upvotes/boosts/likes from all instances and combine them to create ranking(s) of posts that represent the interactions from the whole user base?

yeah, point 8 hits the nail on the head.
lots of people just dont like to share.

bash noob

isn’t activitypub stuff basically open?
so you could create or comission your own platform/ interface that can synthesize posts from all sorts of places and could even do things about duplicates?

thats the benefir of the open source data model and apis - someone can probabledevlop the features you want - eventually.

the current platforms probably all look a bit like pre existing forums / aggregators or social media . butthats just a starting pont, the future could be much weirder ways of compiling displaying and creating posts. and in theory it can all interoprate (within reason, and outwith federation blocks)

i probably have no idea what i’m talking about though . . . i’ve certainly not even queried a single activitypub api personally

I’d like to offer you my most sincere contrafibularities

same.
back on dos i used xtreegold for everything.
but since moving to linux, it’s never occurred to me to use one.

this thread has got me wondering but not sure i can see the need.

tab completion also makes handling directory structure easy enough.
