Probably, something to bring up to the owners of the page I guess

Lemmyverse does too, top right home icon
On Lemmyverse, there is the option to set your home instance (top right home icon), then the links open on your instance
Reddit is worse, to me, for reasons stated above, but we can agree to disagree
I didn’t know there was a czech one, that’s cool!
I guess the only way to really avoid that would have to host your own instance, cut from the rest of the Fediverse, and only allow people you trust to join.
But then that kind of defeats the purpose of a Lemmy-like platform
I’m indeed not sure we are talking about the same thing.
You are talking about tracking the data and selling it to AI for training.
I don’t even know why AI companies would bother with buying that data when they can just parse that information directly from the website and then train their model on it.
I was talking about selling user profiles to advertising companies willing to reach specific potential customer audiences. In that scenario, the measures I explained prevent your profiling.
I usually have a look at [email protected] to see what’s emerging. It includes number of recent posts, which can be a good indication.
I would use two different websites. Reddit and Twitter always stayed on their own, because it’s not so easy to get what they were doing right
Housing crisis is quite an issue, though
It’s already better than what Reddit does with its app then.
If you want to improve your privacy, browse Lemmy using a VPN and a fingerprint protected browser such as Mullvad browser, and you’re pretty much set against potential data collection from our instance admin. You can even share your account with a few other people to make your ghost profile harder to populate.
Do you want to fix this issue? Create a public page using GitHub, rentry.co or whatever, agregate the information we discussed in that thread, and sens that to instances admins so that they add it to their sidebars.
That would be a way to actually solve the issue instead of complaining about it without doing anything else.
The alternative is to propose a pull request on the Lemmy GitHub to change the name from All to Known network, but I know that the entry barrier to GitHub pull requests is usually higher.
Just bringing this to everyone’s awareness, the issues is already tracked here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2951
From the Lemmy devs
I think the lemmy-ui’s could very much benefit from a “global community discovery service” like https://browse.feddit.de , but integrated into the front ends. I’d of course prefer that each lemmy back-end do their own crawling of communities and instances, to make it as distributed as possible.
Casual and new users don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t know what other communities are out there and they don’t know that when they view “all” that they aren’t seeing them. Think about this from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know what you know.
Then they can ask. Plenty of new joiners ask plenty of other questions, and the community has answered them. I agree there should probably be a consolidated wiki at a later point to address this kind of questions, but with the constant evolution of the platform, and the animation of the different communities, I guess everyone is just busy with something else.
I’m not going to address the rest of your comments as this is a decision made on the Lemmy platform level, actually I just had a look at the GitHub issues, and this issue is already tracked here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2951
I added this to every community I mod with my alts, not that much but it’s something to increase the visibility of the search engine
That could be better, but based on this thread I guess it could create other confusions down the line

“The developer does not collect any data from this app.”
Nice people are still around, but in smaller communities
