To all of our edgerunners, solos, rockers, techies, fixers, nomads, cyberpunks and high tech low life citizens of the world, weclome to DATATERM!

It's quite difficult to catch up with various question threads on DATATERM at the moment so I would like to open this thread for our community members who are new to DATATERM and the fediverse/threadiverse who may have a question relating to the community or how things work around here.

If you have already created a thread that we have missed, feel free to link to it in here as well.

One of the admins or a user should be able to come and help you! We'll try and answer your questions to the best of our ability.

Please note that the platform (Lemmy) is in it's early stages and some information may become out of date over time. We will be adding to this thread over time!

Me again with another observation about this instance (I hope I don't seem annoying to you 😅):

I've seen that many of the posts I see when sorting by "Hot" are (almost) a day old while on other instances these same posts aren't considered "Hot" anymore.

I keep comparing feddit.de and dataterm.digital because I want to be absolutely sure that I want this instance to be my home instance, so sorry for the multitude of questions in the last days.

I suspect that it has something to do with the difference in upvote counts in instances because this is just a smaller instance, but on the off chance it might not be the cause, what is the cause? Is that something the admin/s can set in options? Is it a bug that will be fixed in Lemmy v0.18 (although we would probably see this in other instances as well if that would be the cause I guess)?

What I also noticed is that some comments don't get pulled by this instance even though it does indeed federate with the instance of the comment author. It also takes a much longer time for new comments to appear in comparison. Is this because the hardware is maybe not keeping up and might this be another cause for the difference in "Hot" sorting?

What kind of hardware is the instance running on and where is the server located?

I recently migrated or better yet am still in the process of migrating from feddit.de to dataterm.digital. I really like it here and probably will stay here but I've been wondering about the difference in the "all" feed when comparing the 2 instances. On feddit.de's "all" feed I see many more new posts than on dataterm.digital's "all" feed. (I'm comparing sorted by new)

Can someone explain to me why that is and what's happening there? Shouldn't I be seeing the same posts regardless of the instances, given the instance isn't defederated?

I don't know how many times I have tried it now but it seems to be impossible to let !worldbuilding@lemmy.ml be indexed by the instance.

Is anyone having the same problem?

Others communities from lemmy.ml didn't cause any problems.

I wanna see how moderation actions are federated through the *verse

This is a test post c:

I was looking at a reply to my comment on !Selfhosted@lemmy.world and saw that next to my name there was the label "bot account". Does anyone have any thoughts around the cause?

Screenshot showing "bot account" label next to my username "lagged"

Is this just what happens when you post a comment on a federated site or is it something to do with how I posted the comment? I am using the progress web app on Android for dataterm.digital

Federation Questions (dataterm.digital)

Hello! I hope this community is the right place to post this. I just had a quick question about federation; I'm trying to set up my account and follow some larger communities like those on lemmy.ml or beehaw.org. When I subscribe to one of those communities from Dataterm, is the entirety of that instance (lemmy.ml, beehaw.org) then federated with this instance? Or just the specific community (e.g., /c/gaming, /c/technology, etc)?

Also, how come some posts have different upvotes or comments depending on the instance theyr're viewed from? For example, this post: Dataterm Version, lemmy.ml version has a huge disparity.

Every time I think about the Fediverse, I have to watch this amazing C64 demo.

We are all connected <3
