As the title says, I updated the bot a day or so ago, so you can chat with it in the comments. It should now also support context, meaning it knows the whole comment chain. And you don't have to tag it if you're replying to it.

what are the top 15 posts with the most engagement? Can you create a ranked list?

Also what are the top 15 most popular topic communities? Ranked in decreasing order again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It looks like there's an issue accessing the community information for "active" and "popular" on Lemmy.world.

However, if you provide the specific names of the communities you are interested in, I can attempt to gather data for those communities. Alternatively, if you have another preference or specific community in mind, please let me know!

I don't have direct access to aggregate data for all posts and communities on Lemmy.world, such as engagement levels or popularity rankings across the entire instance. Instead, I can fetch specific data for known communities or users if you provide their names.

For example, if you want to know the top posts in a specific community or the activity level of certain users, I can get that information. Likewise, if you tell me the names of specific communities, I can compare them based on their post counts or other metrics.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed or if you have any specific communities or users in mind!

It does not have access to such data.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm mindblown how it can retrieve the posts and/or user information. But also worried that OpenAI has access to Lemmy posts.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

But also worried that OpenAI has access to Lemmy posts.

They have always had access to Lemmy posts.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

They don't, that's actually my implementation, I had to add custom functions so it can retrieve live data.

If you're interested in the technical implementation: I provide list of functions that I implemented to the GPT model.

When you ask for example for your most upvoted comment, it sees that I provided a function to get your most upvoted comment, so it tells me "call the function to get most upvoted comments with these parameters and tell me the result".

Afterwards the code calls the function, which gets the most upvoted comment and provides it back to the model and GPT then creates an answer using the result.

Pretty much anything can be implemented like that, that's how it can have access to live data.

Sure, I can explain more about the enhanced privacy features that Lemmy offers compared to platforms like Reddit:

Enhanced Privacy on Lemmy

  1. Decentralization:

    • Federated Network: Lemmy operates on the principle of federation, meaning multiple instances (servers) interact with each other. This decentralization ensures no single entity owns all the data.
    • Instance Choice: Users can choose or even create an instance with privacy policies they trust, providing more control over their data.
  2. Open Source:

    • Transparency: Since Lemmy is open source, anyone can review the code to ensure there are no hidden data collection mechanisms. This transparency builds trust among users.
    • Community Contributions: The open-source nature allows for community-driven improvements, including enhancing privacy features.
  3. Data Ownership:

    • Local Storage: Data remains on the instance you're registered with, instead of being stored in a centralized server managed by a corporation. Each instance's admin holds control over its data.
    • User Control: Users have more control over their data and can request deletions or transfers as they see fit.
  4. No Corporate Advertising:

    • Ad-Free: Unlike Reddit, which relies heavily on ads, many Lemmy instances are ad-free, meaning less tracking and data collection for ad targeting.
    • Non-Commercial: Most Lemmy instances are maintained by community members rather than profit-driven enterprises, reducing the risk of data misuse.
  5. Community Moderation:

    • Custom Rules: Each instance can set its own rules and privacy policies, allowing communities to develop guidelines tailored to their user base.
    • User Agreement: Users can select instances whose moderation and data policies align with their expectations for privacy.
  6. GDPR Compliance:

    • European Servers: Many Lemmy instances follow GDPR guidelines, ensuring stringent data protection and privacy standards for users in the European Union.
    • User Rights: Users have the right to access, correct, and delete their personal data in compliance with GDPR.
  7. Limited Data Retention:

    • Retention Policies: Instances can define their data retention policies, ensuring data isn't kept longer than necessary, which boosts privacy and security.
  8. Enhanced Security:

    • Regular Updates: Being open source, Lemmy benefits from regular security updates contributed by the community.
    • Security Audits: The public nature of the code allows for thorough security audits by experts.

These features collectively ensure that Lemmy provides enhanced privacy compared to more centralized platforms like Reddit. This makes it a great choice for users concerned about their online privacy and data security.

What Makes Lemmy Different from Reddit?

Lemmy and Reddit may seem similar on the surface as they are both social media platforms focused on community-based discussions, but there are some key differences:

  1. Decentralization: Lemmy is a part of the Fediverse, a collection of interconnected but independently hosted servers. This means communities on different instances can interact, unlike Reddit which has a single centralized hosting.

  2. Open Source: Lemmy is open-source software, allowing anyone to view, modify, and contribute to the code. Reddit, on the other hand, is a proprietary platform.

  3. Customizability: Because of its decentralized nature, instances of Lemmy can have different rules, themes, and moderation practices. This offers greater flexibility compared to Reddit's single framework.

  4. Focus on Privacy: Many Lemmy instances prioritize user privacy more strictly than Reddit, incorporating features that reduce tracking and data collection.

  5. Community Ownership: With Lemmy being open-source and federated, communities or even individuals can host their own instances, giving them full control over their data and content.
