In response to the disastrous Spez AMA, /r/Videos have announced that they will permanently shut down on 11th June, one day ahead of the planned blackout

I share your concern, there are so many niche subreddits that are the most active community for the given thing. Lemmy is awesome but it doesn't seem to have that same consolidation power just yet.

Jerboa UI improvements v2
Looks nice! I like the existing version so far. Will you add swipe gestures for navigation and upvoting/downvoting comments?

I'm done with Reddit even if Lemmy doesn't work out. I hope it does though. Even if there are barriers to entry and confusing aspects, there are definitely enough people out there to overcome them and keep this place interesting. I think social media needs to be more socialized.

Yeah, with Reddit you can be pretty sure your subreddits aren't going anywhere, but I'm wondering whether Lemmy will have issues long term with instances going down and taking all their data with them. Is there a way for instances to be mirrored?

People with hobbies, what kind of specific community would you like to see here on Lemmy?
It would be awesome to see more music stuff. Especially related to bass players and metal music. I'm hoping that more of these pop up as Lemmy gets more popular. I'd start one myself but I'm not really sure how that works on someone else's instance.

What's everyone's thoughts on split or tented keyboards?
Reply in thread
I tried using a split keyboard at work for a while but I found that it was too difficult to use all the symbols and extra keys. I'm a programmer so I need to type brackets and colons and things constantly. I bet it would be pretty easy to get used to for someone who mostly types actual English.

[Possible spoilers] For those who played Outer Wilds, what was your favourite part of the game or your most "Ha-Ha!" discovery ?
Great game! I think my overall favorite part was exploring the Brittle Hollow with the black hole lurking below. It was just really cool.

How do you typically spend your weekends?
Band practice, riding dirt bikes, doing homework, house work, playing video games, browsing Reddit before, now Lemmy. They always go so fast though...

Seems like it would be a fun project to work on, for sure. I'm a complete Rust noob, though (mostly do C#/.NET at work). I wonder how the idea of federation works with instance mirroring. Would it be a backup system, where perhaps one backup instance shadows multiple live instances? Or maybe some way for a live instance to be distributed across multiple servers (and owners)?
