True, but discoverability on Reddit was much much easier, I’ve found this to be one of Lemmys weakest attributes so far. I’m sure it’ll improve over time or somebody will make a search engine based on the instance map over on GitHub.

Hmm, that’s not a bad idea. I might give that a try at some point.

can be waved away by disclosure and a promise not to let it color your conclusions.

I don’t think it’s ever been stated that the framework investment hasn’t lead to direct criticism of competing products. The disclosure is there to let us know that there is pre-existing bias in the upcoming review.

This is similar to watching Mac Address and being pissed off that they have a bias towards Macs.

[LTT] Young People Try a Mac from 1996!

I really enjoyed this one, as a modern Mac user who bought into the classic ecosystem a few years ago and ended up writing a Raspberry Pi Modem + BeautifulSoup adapter for the modern web this was quite amusing for me. Was surprised not to see a Dock considering they said it was running System 7.5, which I'm fairly sure had a "Dock" like extension out of the box.

I too would like to know this, I ran LCS on one of my instances and the Pictrs data store jumped to around 10Gb. It’s not a big deal if Pictrs automatically flushes older content, but if it doesn’t this’ll build up significantly over time.
