4 tons is like 1/4 of what an average American produces in a full year, and it happened in 1 hour.

Lemmy itself isn’t slow, but many instance admins are struggling with performance scale due to the huge user growth. It’ll settle out, just bear with ‘em.

In my opinion, we need to somehow solve the community centralization issue first. MultiCommunities, or some way to aggregate the dozens of large-ish groups like “news, technology, etc” and be able to subscribe to all of them in one fell swoop would allow people to spread out to other instances much more reliably.

I’ve brought this up as a suggestion elsewhere. People seem annoyed at the lemmy vs kbin idea of “communities vs magazines”. Maybe everything is changed to “communities” and “magazines” are officially adopted as community-maintained mega-lists of common communities.

An example. There’s a bunch of car manufacturers. Sure, maybe I could just select the “Honda” community on every instance I can find, or instead I subscribe to the magazine called “Honda” which auto-subscribes me to every single Honda community in the list… or even the magazine called “Cars” which would include all manufacturers and cars communities.

Then there could be a Magazine view for that Magazine which would allow all posts from those communities to be aggregated in one place.

Just spitballing ideas.

You get that in the US too, so what's the difference?

The problem here is conservatives call learning about our past mistakes "woke" and do everything in their power to remove this curriculum from our schools. For some reason, they look at it as "trying to destroy our great nation and traditional values" instead of "learning from our past to be a better country going forward."

Except military, which they teach A LOT, we spent maybe 5 days on the crimes we committed against Native Americans, but an entire month or more on the Revolutionary War. Hell, we spent longer on learning about "world religions" than we did all our mistakes. Plus, any WW1/WW2 war crimes committed by our side is not taught whatsoever.

It won’t, but they can now live the rest of their lives to the absolute fullest - and they deserve to on the taxpayers dime.

Interesting times we’re are coming to, folks!

Since ghee is so expensive, I usually do coconut oil and ghee mixed!

I love ghee on my stovetop popcorn! A wok works great!

Technically, you ARE on Mastodon now! Your comments are showing up here!

It’s basically a default action when replying to someone in Mastodon. It puts their username at the front.

It’s poorly worded, but look at their link which shows Poland’s election. It will make more sense. The party only received 35% of the votes (the rest of the votes going to opposing parties), but they’d suddenly own 55% of the seats due to this system.

I’m not going to say you are wrong, but I have yet to meet a single fucking person that actually cares about bubble colors.

I hear this parroted so often, but never see it myself. Didn’t see it when all I had used was Android devices, didn’t see it when I tried an iPhone and got involved in their own communities.

What chassis? I’ve got 256GB in an R720 but only 32 cores here!

You can follow an entire Lemmy community. If you do that, every COMMENT will show up in your Mastodon feed. If you see a comment you are interested in, clicking on it will give the post and the context for that comment!

I’m replying to this comment from Memmy. It’s still in TestFlight… but it’s working okay so far! Devs and community are working hard on it!

Both rounds are deadly out to 1000 yards and beyond, get outta here with that crap. Whether it’s effective or not is irrelevant. You wouldn’t find me not taking cover if someone was shooting at my position with 5.56 800 yards away.

€142 is more reasonable than I expected! I’ll toss some cash to help!

This. My sister killed multiple phones per year until she went to phones with good waterproof ratings and subsequently were better sealed.

She hasn’t killed one since. That’s a lot less waste overall than before.

I’m not saying this is bad because of that, but I think it’s something people overlook.

The best part is this huge spike just means more devs coming to the platform! Kbin is good, but maybe someone comes out with a new application that can easily do all of this even better!

This is the beauty of ActivityPub and the Fediverse! We are connected by our legit mutual interests, not necessarily connected by our street address or location!
