Try writing “!” followed by a community name, see if it autocompletes. That’s how it works in lemmy-ui.

You’re welcome! :)

Your link goes to lemmy.world, which only works for users on lemmy.world. For everyone else who doesn’t use lemmy.world, you just get to lemmy.world where you are not logged in. So you need that kind of link to go to the community while still staying on your own instance.

It’s like if I linked to the Feddit.dk community like this instead of like this: [email protected]

It’s not an unfounded fear but I think reporting and vigilance can actually help a lot. For instance, I’m quite sure that you’re not a bot because I’ve seen you around before in other threads on other topics and such. Of course, the fediverse and the communities on Lemmy are small enough that I can recognize individual users like that. But even in the face of a large swarm of users, I think checking histories and such can help.

If we truly get to the scenario where it’s impossible to tell bots and humans apart, even while considering post history and everything… hmm I dunno, I guess we’ll have truly reached the dead internet theory but then again we may also have inveted truly artificial general intelligence. It’s hard to predict right now. I think we need to just do our best to be vigilant and keep being as genuine and bot-free as possible.

Well both. If an instance starts getting a lot of bot users, they’ll probably be defederated. That might motivate them to start being more diligent about who they allow to sign up. Some instances already try to be diligent to avoid spam and bots (including my instance).

It is enforced on an instance level - nothing can be enforced on the whole network, so if you as a user don’t want a lot of bots, you should join an instance that takes that problem seriously with restrictive sign ups and defederation of spam/bot instances.

On the fediverse, you vote by choosing where to participate. So choose the instance with the policies that you like.

Then the approval process will need to be more complicated. This can be done. If that is necessary to keep the Internet botfree, so be it.

Just be sure to find another job before quitting. Always easier to find a job when you already have one.

would be a good thing if you could ensure every user would be guaranteed to not be greeted with any issues upon reboot from said update.

Honestly this sounds like it’d be so far in the future that it’s not even realistic to contemplate right now. We’re clearly not even close to this being the reality.
