Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse? (sh.itjust.works)

Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he'd ever consider it?

This 100%, honestly what lemmy/mbin needs is a clean up of dead communities. That were created and abandoned during the reddit api exodus. As well as the active communities that are just a bot posting content from reddit and nothing else.

I think the software should start hiding/marking them in some way

I don't expect they will all be deleted, and I don't even think it would be good to delete them because there could be a chance they start getting activity

True i like your idea of marking them. Just when people join a community i hate that they have wade through a mess of discarded clutter. To find the good places.

Might be a good point to create a github issue for on the lemmy repository

Yep. I've said this before, but I don't understand how a community that only provides links to external communities is supposed to help Lemmy grow, as opposed to taking people away 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah it's like with the AI Gen posts. If they are not willing to put in the effort to post something real. Why should I put in the effort to engage with their content.

This please. It’s totally fracturing and also misleading, especially in cases when the dead community has the highest # of subscribers!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah cause everyone joined but then abandoned their accounts we need a secondary value for date of last post
