Vivaldi (the web browser) is hosting a community talk together with AllThingsTech about "Why does being on the Fediverse matter to us?". You can listen along to it via. https://audon.space/u/@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net.

They start on the 25th of May, 13:00 EDT / 17:00 UTC.

If you are interested in sharing book recommendations with other, or just manage your books, then bookwyrm is great for that! The .world team also has a bookwyrm instance up and running at bookwyrm.world with a community here on lemmy as well at !bookwyrm@lemmy.world. Read Ruuds original post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/5904792

If you want to join another bookwyrm instance, then head over to joinbookwyrm.com.

Anyway, it's a great place to find books, share books, and find people with similar interests in books! If there is anything that you feel needs to be improved or changed on the bookwyrm.world instance, then contact me!

EDIT - Mastodon account for the instance: @bookwyrmworld@mastodon.world

This communal farm has really developed fast! There is now bamboo, cocoa beans, wheat, carrots, potatoes, cows, sheep, watermelons & pumpkins! Thank you to everyone that contributed to the farm so far!

As we see more and more bots on Lemmy World every day, it’s about time we publish a set of rules for bots and bot-owners.

So here goes:

• Bots shall not be used for any kind of advertising.

• The bot accounts must be clearly marked as a bot. Both in the bio and by marking the account as a bot.

• The owner of the bot and contact details must be mentioned in the bot’s bio.

• Bots are only allowed to post in communities they have the explicit permission from the community’s owners to do so.

• Bots from other instances that post in Lemmy World communities must follow the same rules.

• Bots shall not just be posting Reddit content.

• Bots shall not be “spammy”, as in multiple posts per minute.

• Breaking any of these rules will result in a ban for the Bot and, if required, its owner.

• Commands must use the bots mention as prefix, and not a text prefix like !help

These rules will be updated when needed.

Fedidb.org recommends people who view their statistics on their “Threadiverse” tracking page that people should not use graphs and numbers from the total users due to the surge of bot-accounts, and should instead use the monthly active users. This puts the “Threadiverse” at 87,089. Lemmy with 37,197 and Kbin at 44,136. Fedidb.org also shows that the number of accounts is now at 1,75 million, though most of these accounts are probably just bots.

I don't know if this is a feature or not, but if it is, it's not working for me. When opening a link that refers to a post or community it opens an in-buildt browser inside of the app, instead of ridercting me inside of the app itself. It's a real pain when openig lemmy links and having to switch to a browser every time.

If this isn't a feature, is it planned?
