There was an article a few days back with microplastics working through “untouched by humans” layers of lake silt.

Stay positive, friend.

It’s not fixed unfortunately. We are on 0.19.1 and having issues.

The fix is to regularly restart which clears the federation queue.

I got it during a websearch. Changed VPN server to another city and it went away. Mullvad.

Me be like:

Yep, I’m where I am, subscribed to zero communities but I can check out what’s happening nationally using Local. If the instance got massive, that would change but it’s fine as it is.

I guess the science instances, the art instances, the solarpunk instance, or even porn instances etc use Local heavily.

Key Points

• The author is unsure about how much alt-text is optimal for images.
• They have no problem writing a lot and have the means to do so.
• The author uses Hubzilla, which has no limit on post or alt-text length.
• They prioritize accessibility and provide full transcriptions of all texts in a picture.
• The author posts pictures to illustrate their posts, not as the main focus.
• Virtual world pictures often require more description due to unfamiliar objects or locations.
• There are two schools of thought on alt-text: clear and concise vs. full description.
• Alt-text can enhance accessibility for all users, not just those with visual impairments.

The author discusses the use of alt-text in the Threadiverse and Fediverse. They highlight its importance for accessibility and non-technical viewers and advocate for refusing to boost posts without sufficient alt-text.

Voyager app displays total scores for Lemmy as well.

https://search-lemmy.com just added a Find Community feature that works well. Not precisely what you’ve asked but it does match results to a keyword so you can correlate matches with “growing” perhaps.

Sorry, I just deleted that part because I did some further testing and couldn’t be sure if I was imagining it.

You’ve cleared it up. Looks like adding submission statements ranks it higher then. Typing in “biodiversity” ranks it higher than the literal community about “biodiversity” on Mander.

You’ve created an excellent tool, well done.

Works well when you notice the “Find Communities” button. I did a search at first and thought it was exactly the same.

I run one small community and I have blasted it with content. Searching some relevant keywords puts it on top, or near top, of every search. Now it’s a race for the more relevant communities to overtake it.

I’m not bothered by it. Just joking around. I come here for things different from memes.

Stop lying!

My area has 40 years of studies behind it with a heap of science online. I’m always surprised that AI do so badly with it. If I can work it out by reading through study after study, AI should piss it in.

The good thing about perplexity is that it sources itself so you can check it. Others just give you the answer and if you don’t know much, you dont know if it’s wrong or not (better than no sources, I feel). I’ve also asked someone who is the world leader in my field to figure out when it starts giving completely wrong answers and in what area.

Is what you’re searching more of an in-field technique or would there be webpages or studies devoted to it?

I asked it directly. It didn’t know and stated it has never had version numbers. I pointed out that news articles differentiate 1.0 and 2.0. It agreed but didn’t say what it was. I asked it again directly, it said it was 2.0.

Hard to believe something that feels like it’s lying to you all the time. I asked it about a topic that I’m in and have a website about, it told me the website was hypothetical. It got it wrong twice, even after it agreed it was wrong, and then told me the wrong thing again.

Can you ask perplexity.ai your question about ceramic firing and see what you get? Perplexity offers prompts to move you along towards your answer.

If I was any where else, it would be there. Maybe one day, won’t rule it out.

Using local on aussie.zone gets me Australian news so I dont need to subscribe to Aus communities which is a bonus. My subscribed just stays my interests so Local and Home are critical to my browsing.

Dont I know it. I was being facetious with the comment because I know what these places are like having moved from specific niche forums, watching reddit expand (avoiding Facebook), and then here. I’m also an early adopter to Tildes but decided to not even attempt in there because of the “tech bro (tech person)” problems you’ve illustrated.

Mander and Slrpnk are good instances and busy enough.

I do find it funny seeing these memes about creating content from someone with 6 posts, there’s been a few of them now.

Like tears in rain. Time to die.

I’ve posted 240 times to barely any discussion.

This post is a lie.
