@[email protected] Actually since yesterday I'm pondering about the idea to build a #federated version of stackoverflow, nothing written yet, I'm reading, researching. Also, right now I was checking this stack exchange sqlite db under CC BY-SA 4.0 to check how useful and doable would be import this data and using as a base for the federated version. Also wondering if we could use this data somehow to train our own opensource AI to help the community, but I'm do not have knowledge on LLM/AI things. Please if there is any expert I would appreciate the opinion on that. https://seqlite.puny.engineering

Codeberg was asking about this. The linked toot by a commenter points to :

SEqlite

They are minimal. They provide the data you probably care about and the data you need to comply with the original license in SQLite format.

    With a few more additions, lemmy could serve as a good replacement. We already have a Forum / NewComments sort which is perfect for question / answer type communities. We could add a feature to make default sorts for specific communities, so they would feel less fast, or possibly a sort that brings zero comment posts (IE meaning unanswered), to the top.

    The reputation and “accepted answer” features from SO are a lot less important than threaded comments can be, especially since questions often need new answers every year, making the “accepted answer” pointless.

      Especially with Lemmy getting support for plugins soon, I don’t see the need for making a new platform

      A new sorting method for “unanswered” is a cool idea. I’m not sure if it’s quite as simple as just finding posts with 0 comments, because people can put additional questions in the comments but it’s still unanswered. Also how do you sort them for posts with the same number of comments/answers. But this is definitely something that a plugin could handle.

      I saw someone else suggested we could just put “[unanswered]” in the title and then edit the title to “[answered]”

      Default sort would be great. Especially for sports events. But I don’t want Lemmy to become an answer repository, keep it as a link aggregator
