I think also one of the concerns is - well, one of my fav subs used to be bonsai. If each server has it's own bonsai sub it'll be three users and never hit critical mass, so no bonsai discussion. There will be heaps of discussion in a small handful of the most mainstream subs on each server, but smaller communities may never really take off. I think it's those niche interests that really help adoption, and I'd like to see Lemmy take off because I love finding those communities.

There are a number of geographic servers that are already the obvious choice for discussion around living in a particular place, I just wonder if we can find a way to create a logical home for some of the other more niche interests so they can grow as well - I mean, we already have a bunch of tech based ones (like all the programming discussion on programming.dev), but I'm worried that it will never take off for things that aren't tech based, and I think those other communities make a platform useful.

Fragmentation has advantages, sometimes the same topics duplicated across servers means you can find a better community, but it means only topics with really broad appeal (which are probably going to be the same topics between a lot of servers) are going to have active users. So we'll end up with a really bland selection of the same discussions and no niche interest communities, leading to a lack of diversity and uninteresting content.

interesting - sounds like this would be a more in depth solution, but the ideas are really good.

yeah I wouldn't be in favour of making that change to the software itself.. I think the features are good the way they are. I'm just thinking in terms of organising services, and the best way to do it - it's lots of servers run by volunteers and the structure is hazy so I think it's good to have these conversations.

In a limited sense that's kind of what we're getting with the fediverse though - your account working across a number of servers. People don't seem to be thinking about how to do more than set up a bunch of duplicate instances rather than how to leverage it. I'll have a look at the DiD though.. I'm a programmer so always interested.

I mean, absolutely - I guess what I'm saying is, it feels like a good time to bake in good ideas, while the fediverse is still evolving. After a while it'll just be the way it's always been and it'll be harder to improve.

yeah! if something can be expressed in an algorithm that can be implemented using qbits, it can run there. 99% of computing will be done on your regular cpu, but for certain problems a regular cpu would take years to solve, you can run it through the multiverse for a quick answer.

oh wow - didn't even know that exists

I think the trouble is you can assume your superposition calculated all the possibilities, but you have no way of picking the right one. it just calculated all the possibilities at the same time. however, there are some really clever ways that i don't fully understand of figuring out what the result is, if the result is periodic you can see some kind of interference, or if it can be represented as a lowest energy state the system can fall into - honestly it's all really confusing. but it has to be a specific algorithm that's been identified for a quantum computer, if you try to run it like a regular computer it won't work at all. here's a cool article on the algorithms: https://www.amarchenkova.com/posts/5-quantum-algorithms-that-could-change-the-world

i think shor's algorithm is the most interesting because it breaks encryption and ends the world

If you have instagram installed you almost certainly already grant all of this.

My app now just has a popup telling me to go to Lemmy 😀 Seriously happy sync is going to be released for Lemmy, I'm already pretty happy with my feed.

good, I'd like it if AI thinks a bit more like me and a bit less like the rest of the internet

used to use reddit sync.. deleted my reddit account now. shame, it was a really active site, but this is a good equivalent and it won't get spezzed or eloned. I can just move server if I feel like it.
