That’s true, duplicate copies of the same book is perhaps the main pain on bookwyrm right now. On the other hand it also feels like a problem that devs must be aware of and are actively trying to figure out a solution for.

It’s an interesting thing to ponder and my opinion is that like many other things in life something being ‘OC’ is a spectrum rather than a binary thing.

If I apply a B&W filter on an image is that OC? Obviously not

But what if I make an artwork that’s formed by hundreds of smaller artworks, like this example? This definitely deserves the OC tag

AI art is also somewhere in that spectrum and even then it changes depending on how AI was used to make the art. Each person has a different line on the spectrum where things transition from non OC to OC, so the answer to this would be different for everyone.

Instance admins can setup a slur filter for their instance, which automatically removes that word from ever appearing on that particular instance.

Ahh yes this is one of my favorite quotes and one I think about a lot.

Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I’ve seen about it seems like a Mastodon/Twitter alternative? Lemmy really doesn’t have anything to do with it since we can’t even view mastodon posts here.

r/antiwork mods ‘making it work’ for a company like reddit for free is just the biggest irony tbh.

for personal use, main reasons are you won’t have to worry about instance admins making arbitrary decisions that you don’t agree with, and no worries about server overload or downtime.

for making an instance for public, helping fediverse become a more viable alternative by spreading the load over more instances and helping it grow.

Sounds straight from a black mirror episode.

Oops my bad, I’ll update the post

comments and upvotes work similarly in the fact that only users from federated instances will show up.

But also yes there is a short delay before comments sync in general too aside from the above fact.

For upvotes it only shows upvotes from the instances your home instance is federated with, so for a smaller instance there’s a chance it has not the same big federation list as some more popular instances and thus show smaller upvote count.

Right now the best way is to search from inside a lemmy instance itself. lemmy search finds much better results than what native reddit search used to give.

None of the reddit apps using the api will have nsfw content so I wonder if they are even worth it at that point.
