The German Rhineland-Palatinate State Parliament has ditched X (Twitter) in favour of open-source decentralised Mastodon
This is great news. Algorithm optimized social networks are poison to society.

Lemmy World outages
Besides the actual developers of lemmy, none has done more for the lemmiverse than the maintainers of lemmy.word. When the Reddit shitstorm started and other leading servers shut down user registration, you guys held the ship steady and didn’t flinch from the sudden flood of new users. Discovering new bottle-necks in lemmy code, helping to resolve them and deploying hot fixes. All in super fast reaction time. About “lemmy.world shouldn’t be largest server” crap - it’s good for lemmy that one server is the easy entry point to lemmy. This is where the “mainstream” communities could/should be and new users will have an easier landing. Having dedicated servers with their own communities (like start trek, piracy, etc) is great but it’s not mandatory for all communities.

Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important
OP is correct. We have very little to to gain and everything to lose.

Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?
Fuck Reddit. I’m here now and it’s great.

It feels like it is possible to have a conversation here. In Reddit I felt like my comments were getting buried

What app is everyone using for Lemmy
Using wefwef.app (it’s a web app) and it’s great. Sometimes I need remind myself that I’m not using Apollo.

What will Meta gain from fediversing?
Reply in thread
Yeah that’s a possibility. They could do something like “ohh too bad Killer Feature X is looking so badly on Mastodon. On Threads it will look so much better”. Essentially using fedi as a crappy demo for Threads. That sounds like a typical business plan to me.

How should we deal with similarly named communities?
The easiest option ATM would be for an app to combine both communities into one synthetic feed

Canon Connections: Strange New Worlds 2x03 - Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Thank you @[email protected] for this post. Your Cannon Connections posts on Reddit were a joy to read and I’m happy you are here on Lemmy now.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x04 "Among the Lotus Eaters"
This episode belongs together with the better episodes of TNG. I liked it a lot.

I have the mini computer. Now what?
I’d recommend Debian Linux. It’s free, stable, has all the software you’ll need with long term support, ton of online resources and communities to learn from. You can start with or without UI.

Thank you Lemmy
In retrospect, I’m really glad all of this shit with Reddit happened and lemmy became a thing in my life. Was bummed initially when Apollo died, but now despite needed polish in lemmy apps, the experience here is much much better and I would never go back.

How difficult was it for you to abandon a social media website for a fediverse alternative?
Quitting Reddit and switching to lemmy - easy. Quitting FB - not possible. I have no other way to keep in touch with remote friends and relatives and there are local FB groups that are useful for me. Dropping Whatsapp also is sadly impossible. With my nerdy friends I use telegram/signal but 99.99% of ppl are available only on WhatsApp.

What are your backup solutions?
For app data, Borg as backup/restore software. Backup data is then stored on Hetzner as an offsite backup - super easy and cheap to setup. Also add healthchecks.io to get notified if a backup failed.
Edit: Backup docker compose files and other scripts (without API keys!!!) with git to GitHub.

Even when it is installed as a separate app?

Movies that would make a good TV series?
Dune. You can’t capture the complexities of that book in a movie. You can smudge a lot details into scenes of Timothée Chalamet staring intensely at beautiful CGI scenery, but it misses a lot.

How do you find media to watch?
That really depends on how you treat the media you download. Is it just a temp buffer that you delete after watching or is it a collection you grow and curate over time.

What's your league starter fellas?

Isn’t it the other way around? First do meta build to fund a fun/interesting build?

Who are your trusted build guide creators?
You also can’t wrong with any of the stuff on MaxRoll

So how's it going?
First time playing bow build - Ziz’ EA champ. Build feels very solid. Pushing into yellow maps with mostly shit gear from campaign plus 15c bow. Build is tanky and damage is fine, not great. I thought I’d hate the delay of the EA blast but I’m ok with it. I’m too lazy to study the league mechanic. So many stuff to buy and memorize which units/tribes are. I have too much shit in life to have another chore to solve so I’m sticking to my staples of incursion, betrayal and expedition. Was excited to try sanctum but I haven’t found any and I’m too poor to buy them in trade. Generally I’m having fun and the game seems like it is in a good place.
