@Wolf314159@startrek.website No, the Kzin themselves are still brown, even with their bat-ears. It's their uniforms that got made day-glo purple.

When I say "feed", I mean the general homepage I see when I log into my account, rather than my Subscribed, Following, etc. views. I understand your concern, but if other related communities don't suit you, then you're free to block them as they come up. I think a ratio of 4 "in-bubble" to 1 "related" post would be fair. Maybe there could even be a slider somewhere depending on your software.

One of the few reasons I've never minded that part of the presentation on larger social media sites is that they operate on an opt-out model compared to the fediverse's (current) opt-in model. But I think there's enough transparency in "you like memes@fedia.io, here's content from other groups we know with names containing 'memes'".

I may have to try out Quiblr, but I strongly prefer kbin/mbin to Lemmy, because I enjoy interacting with both the microblog side and the thread side of the fediverse on a single account. If mbin ever gets a video tab (for Loops & PeerTube), I'm going to jump for joy.

Given the way things are in my perspective, what I want on mbin & lemmy is somewhere like a mix of 1 & 2, with 3 as a solid option. I know that the torches and pitchforks are about to come out, but I'll try to outline the way I see it.

When I'm in a meme-scrolling mood, I have to look up meme magazines / communities to start (Method #3). Fine, that's working as intended. Obviously that will lead naturally to Method #1; as I subscribe and gradually follow other posters, my bubble will grow.

But what I want for the 'threadiverse' is a more unified suggested page. If I'm in, let's say, memes@lemmy.world, I'd like to also have my feed show content from memes@fedia.io, or lemm.ee, or whatever other threadiverse instances that my chosen instance is federating with. I'd also like to see "subject memes" on my meme feed as a default - Science Memes, Star Trek Memes, etc.. That falls under Method #2 - because I want the software to predict that because I've subscribed to memes@*, and interacted with content from memes@*+1, that I will also like *memes*@*. Obviously this could also be a matter of tagging and magazine integration, but that's something that would help the fediverse feel more united and less daunting for people.

Obviously dealing with the microblog side, mandatory tags or some form of community selection would be great to help out. It would be nice to see more microblog entries from Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, etc., sorted into magazine-like collections by tags.

Honestly, I'd love to see Point 2 come into a real format. The other stuff is a hard no-go, but I think it would be interesting to see a game where being outmatched doesn't mean an automatic loss of points. I think the meta would self-stabilize into a rough version of the Elo system.

Is ATProtocol as open as ActivityPub in terms of content? Could there be a Bluesky equivalent of Peertube, for example?

Now I'm afraid to try and find bluesky meme communities. If it's winword, any image must throw the whole thing into utter madness.

mbin is both Reddit and Twitter.

This reads like you and your mother have had a longstanding negative relationship. I don't believe you or she are in the right place to discuss the extent of your disagreement or the source of it, based on what I'm reading here. Until you are, I think it might be healthier for both of you to walk away for a few years. I don't know her, so I don't know if she's an objectively bad person. What she said, and the actions you've described, sound a lot like someone who doesn't know how to consciously process the emotions around having someone they should love making choices that they find morally reprehensible.

So I don't know if she's a bad person. I can tell that the relationship you have with her is bad, and you should focus on your happiness and coping mechanisms.

If it's from MSU, it can safely be ignored.
