Right now lemmy backend only supports a single 'subscribed' list, that would be like a music player only having a single playlist. I know people are using multiple logins just to have more flexibility in managing their lists.

This basically shuts my idea down

it's not very difficult to modify the code for something like this.... and closing off registration wont' let anyone else login and create new content form your istance.

Personally the load on the major servers by having one more instance that subscribes to everything is why I think people should back off from creating more than the 1500 instances Lemmy network already has. Delivery of every single vote, comment, post 24 hours a day just so one person can read content for an hour or two a day.

That makes sense for email systems where all that content doesn't have to be sent, but for Lemmy it's a huge amount of overhead.

Recently I’ve noticed my feed has become almost entirely the main meme instance. The algorithm gives me 4 meme posts then a technology post then load more memes

Yes, same issue, and I'm using lemmy-ui...

Lemmy's backend Top/Active/Hot are pretty primitive. I'm experimenting with some ways to weigh smaller less-popular communities... because +20 vote on meme topics is noise, but +20 on some focused community can be a big deal. hot_rank doesn't take that into account and just looks at published date and score. It's pretty tricky to get new things into the backend, so it may be a while.

Keep in mind that you’re going to be retrieving and storing a huge amount of data running these scripts

And you are adding to the overload of lemmy.world, beehaw, lemmy.ml, etc who have all the popular content communities. Federation has a lot of overhead, as does having to distribute a community one vote at a time to 500 subscribed servers.

pend my time on Lemmy scrolling “All”, which I think is a pretty common thing.

There was a lot of advice handed out back in June that the answer to scaling Lemmy was to go create instances. The reason it works is because "All" is empty on a virgin system ;) With no data in the database, the logic Lemmy hands to PostgreSQL works real fast ;)

The real war is hate media memes and messages that trickle down to those obedient to voices from the clouds, electric voices these days. In the old days, books that said burning bushes gave out signals.

I use that periodically to compare feeds, and like I said sometimes a post or comment is missing, actually I often see a comment that looks like it’s responding to a another comment, but I cannot see the parent comment.

There have been bugs in Lemmy not sending comment deletes to all the instances. And lemmy.world and lemmy.ml were not communicating fro Saturday through Tuesday. Lemmy.world had some significant outages. It gets pretty tricky to track down and identify exact causes while things are unstable.

s in the past hour

Since Saturday lemmy.ml and lemmy.world were not sending content correctly. The problem seems cleared up now.

Nolan pushed the limit of IMAX projectors with Interstellar run time in 2014, he went out of his way to find out what the maximum that could be done with platter modifications, an extra 20 minutes.

I miss the days when the internet was populated largely by nerds aiming to make a better world

The BBS and early Internet days were dominated by people who read non-fiction books. RTFM was a common saying in those days.

does anyone else feel enslaved?

“Everything in our background has prepared us to know and resist a prison when the gates begin to close around us . . . But what if there are no cries of anguish to be heard? Who is prepared to take arms against a sea of amusements? To whom do we complain, and when, and in what tone of voice, when serious discourse dissolves into giggles? What is the antidote to a culture’s being drained by laughter?”

Sunday, lemmy.ml is performing better than I have seen it in 60 days. I did get errors on Saturday and significant lag. Not sure if activity is just today or what, but it's really been fast in routine browsing.

Recorded media, electronic media, is something the founding fathers never had to deal with.
