He got to explain to his daughter and you got to explain to the comment section, circle of life

I know posting at all is a very recent addition (is it even out of beta?)

I assume crossposting just hasn’t been implemented yet

:wqa!

There are no stable releases, just a continual rolling build from the single bespoke server farm that can create releases

As I see it now, the lemmy spirits have seen fit to have some sort of geometric score progression

Such an abomination could be created. Just imagine all the over engineering that would be required.

It would run ANYTHING on ANY platform by incorporating every libc and assembler and VM and dynamic interpreter.

It runs on EVERY platform and thus it can be adequately tested on NO platform.

I agree with your agreement therefore I am ENTITLED to upvotes

1. Browse new
2. First comment
3. Collect massive Internet points
4. ???
5. LEMMY

I never really did this on the bad place but if you browse new and fire off something snarky or heartfelt first it often becomes the top comment in my experience

Holy shit that’s clever

All the Lemmy (and Kbin) servers (instances) can theoretically talk to each other. You can follow communities on other instances and comment and post like you are used to.

You could think of each server as an independent city-state, each with it’s own leaders, customs and citizens.

If two instances have a feud that can’t be resolved, they will “defederate” and then their users will no longer be able to contact each other.

There are Nazi instances here in the Fediverse (for example), but they get blocked on sight so you almost never see their garbage in the feeds.

Does that help?

Honest question, why isn’t your clubhouse over at lemmygrad enough?

1. They basically say they are, and also run explicitly tankie instance lemmygrad.ml
2. Look at the modlog for lemmy.ml. Among other things, anytime someone has an opinion about China who isn’t Chinese it’s “Orientalism”

I wasn’t sure how to respond to this at the time.

I’m coming back to report that I just saw this.

I was scrolling All + Hot using Connect on Android and saw this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/57957

Judging by the influx of new comments, I wasn’t the only one.

Are you seriously arguing that slavery wasn’t profitable for plantation owners?

Aside from being dangerously close to “well actually we were doing the slaves a favor!”, that argument is absolutely absurd.

Do you really think that they couldn’t get more economic value out of enslaved labor than they put in in shitty food and housing? By that logic, the poor poor plantation owners could just barely scrape by on a subsistence income. Does that match up with the lavish estates that we see in the south to this day?

Aside from being illogical it’s also ahistorical - milenia ago the Romans had massive slave-based plantations generating obscene wealth.

Lemmy’s default sort is “Active” - which I believe is “most recent comment activity”

The classic reddit experience is most like the “Hot” sort option.

Lemmy’s other weird default is the “feed” which can be all, local, and following. Lemmy defaults to “local”, which is probably not what you want (chronological feed of posts on your home server)

Also highly recommend “blocking” communities if you don’t want to see their content. (Mostly important if you browse the “All” or “local” feeds)

My guess is admins should be able to fix it
