From what I’ve seen: Linus didn’t ever typically rip into first time contributors, it was usually always the people that he either expected better of or people that just kept submitting crap after crap.

Still sucks to be on the receiving end of it though.

From what I understand due to the way that Lemmy handles federation, it doesn’t (currently?) have a way to handle an instance changing its domain name and still being able to communicate or even an individual user changing their instance and retaining their comments/votes/etc… (this might be more ActivityPub limited since the way Mastodon does it still seems pretty hacky and just a work around for underlying issues).

From a website perspective, yeah, just change some settings and you’re good to go and accessible on the web, but that doesn’t mean that anything regarding Lemmy is going to actually work.

I’ve got a couple of Raspberry Pi Zero’s that emulate a mass storage device (basically it acts like a USB drive) that I have connected to 3D printers and my wife’s embroidery machine.

Instead of using it with a network share like in the link, I share the folder with SyncThing.

It’s super convenient to not have to move a USB drive around and can just leave it connected and get the files on there seamlessly.

Yeah, but, I don’t see how that really changes anything.

On a smaller instance (or one that’s defederated from others … in either direction), that might very well completely shift focuses.

For the Fediverse specific community, if you want one with the most chance of getting to the developers, use the instance that they’re on, otherwise, I’d think to just let the cultures develop and diverge naturally as they’re likely to.

To be fair, to some of us this is a feature not a bug.

A technology post on a technology/infosec/IT focused instance seems to have a COMPLETELY different focus and conversation than one on the larger instances, for example and I don’t want those mixed in with people saying that AI is a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world.

There are smaller dedicated art focused instances popping up too. I’d expect that they’re going to have a better set of conversations around those subjects than the same threads on a general instance and I don’t want those mixed up.

If it’s a subject I really want to see a lot of discussion about, I’ll look at multiple threads… can this mean that some subjects won’t have as good of a conversation because people aren’t bouncing off of each other? Yeah, absolutely and that frankly SUCKS, but, as stated, it also means that some of the niche conversations have a chance to grow where they may have previously just been unseen due to how many people are talking.

To me, they’re on different instances for a reason, let it grow organically. The ones that stand out will wind up being the main ones people use.

As for amount of users. A decent amount of those are likely alts people created when instances were having problems or just to try out the different locations.
Or, people just didn’t like the Fediverse for all the reasons you stated, which is also possible, but I don’t necessarily think chasing numbers should be the end all goal

Love Bookstack!

The dev has also got a PeerTube instance spun up:

Comcast unlimited data is an extra 50 for my area.

Evil bastards. I make sure to get my money’s worth though

Will also show the favorites and reduces for an ind post as well.

It’s fine when it’s constructive, but when it comes down to “fuck socialists”, “fuck their opinions”, “fuck anything socialists make” and “Lemmy World is glitchy” I’m honestly not sure wtf they expect anyone to do with that information.

Nah, I at least would prefer if they didn’t lol.

If OP dislikes “community” they’re definitely going to bitch about magazines and start whining to try and get KBin to be more similar to Reddit. I think we’re better off with them going back to R.

If Meta does end up Federating, then Reddit would potentially be able to gain 100M (or whatever the latest crazy numbers are) potential viewers of ads disguised as content. That’s a lot of eyeballs to try and make money off of!

For the Lemmy/KBin side, being able to potentially monetize the people that specifically left your shitty platform has to look somewhat appealing.

Figured I could save anyone else the time clicking if they aren’t interested. Seems interesting overall
