I recently made the switch and it's great. Definitely takes a bit of understanding and research to know what you're getting into, though.

I wish I was

I can just be

I always was

Destroy capitalism

As much as I understand r/superstonk's intent to stay loud, I agree it would have been perfect. After seeing the fediverse really blow up in a few days, I think the average ape would be stoked on the sense of community. And as far as values, I think it's pretty perfectly aligned over here.

I've been in for 84 years and I'm here to stay on Lemmy, too. Here's hoping more will transition.

To be fair, it's pretty on brand to royally fuck up the delivery.

I'm so confused lol. So you're saying taihen and godless commented the same thing as you, and that you didn't comment clue, muppets, etc?

I wanna give both of you props for your work on these. It's pretty cool to see the community jump on things like this. I've been half considering an attempt to whip up an android app just for a personalized experience, but I'm worried I'll be too ambitions lol

I was ready to put on some rose colored glasses and be all contrarian, but nah, you're totally right

It does feel like a breath of fresh air even in spite of the rough edges. I'm hoping it lasts and I also plan on sticking around!

AB is AB and the large man is my heart

Personally I feel like the Mario movie was one of the best movies like that to come out. Sure it's nothing too amazing, but for a video game adaptation it's definitely up there. It does seem like everything has to be remade to be almost deliberately awful though.

I was already feeling some type of way browsing communities, like being thrown back a couple decades to chat rooms and forums. But now, seeing users from kbin and lemmy all together, just hanging out... it feels pretty awesome.

I agree this really seems like it should be dead center in the conversation. It clearly demonstrates just how massively reddit is messing up. Right before leaving last week I saw tons of people upset and disgusted when they realized these repercussions. I don't know if that sentiment has continued over there.

This is why I live in a 1940s lead-lined refrigerator

Careful with that analogy. I'm hoping for a lot less flame war on the left side of the equation lol

Isn't it also the case that each instance gets updates from all others? So in this case, lemmy.world's access to beehaw communities might lack [email protected] activity and beehaw's access lacks [email protected] activity?

But I also believe lemmy.world can see old beehaw stuff from before the defed, so that could play a role. I'm really just trying to wrap my head around all the network effects and repercussions, its confusing as hell.

Edit: There's this comment that explains things pretty well, in case anyone is curious: https://lemmy.world/comment/205763 -- sounds like all updates go to and eventually come from the instance holding a community, so if you're defederated from them, you only see federated cross-posts in a sense. At that point I think there are different comment sections altogether.

I'm 110% sure I'm still misunderstanding something, for what it's worth lmao

A lot of the discussion around sorting specifics makes me wonder if a plugin-like system for user created sorting algorithms would be useful.

It could allow you to curate your own feed in a way, based on age, activity, filters, basically any post metadata. The algorithms could be shared or maybe even federated through lemmy itself. I have a suspicion this would be closer to "neat" than "worth it" though. This is really just a brain dump of a random idea.

lemmymap.feddit.de is a map that shows a few things. Clicking blocked shows the corresponding connections. It doesn't show the direction, but hovering over will show you an instances number of blocks. Some of the data could be wrong, though. Last I checked every instance is listed as no downvotes. The defederation with beehaw showed up pretty quickly though.

One note, maybe don't click the 'open' checkbox because that tries to show every connection and blows up my browser!

And to be fair, I've definitely hic-coughed before too

When you want to short sell, but there hasn't been an IPO yet...

It was a while ago now but yeah, I do remember that being kind of a big thing.
