Substack is newsletter focused, subscriptions are for individual substack writers' newsletters (you can't access all substack newsletters with a single subscription) and it has a recommendation feature that writers like because it can help them grow their subscribers and therefore grow their revenue.

Thanks

Mastodon is not currently on the list

The problem I see with this idea is that I have no idea who most people are on "my" instance or what sort of content they're interested in. Even for a topic based instance like https://startrek.website/, outside of Star Trek, what are the chances that the interests of the members align?

The Lemmy developers were working on making user defined custom feeds. If that ever get implemented, I'd certainly give many ideas a try. But the Lemmy devs don't have any new feed options on their priority list and I doubt they will anytime soon.

The main dev (only dev?) of piefed seems much more likely to implement new ideas. For example, I had mentioned that only votes from a community's subscribers should be counted on posts to said community by default with the owner of the community given an option to count all votes. It was implemented within days.

They're going to events and taking nice pictures and releasing them to the public domain.

They could also pay for good pictures to be released to the public domain themselves.

But if someone wants to spend their time to do this uncompensated, they aren't doing any harm.

LOL I should have reread that one.

The data is not centralized, but everyone is using the same ~~aggravation~~ aggregation service (indexer) to access the data.

No. All of your direct interactions are with your instance which federates with others.

Don't trust him based on his prior comments

I'm not a fan of Kagi's founder, so I generally don't use it.
