What are some of the "small things" you appreciate about Lemmy over Reddit?
No ads and the fact, that it is open source and community driven.

current lemmy status
First I created account there and then landed on my current instance, because lemmy.ml's admin views looks sketchy for me. Been living in ex-ussr for all my life I just cant accept all that communists and marxists and the fact that lemmy.ml has /c/Communism on it.
I know that's silly but that's why I'm not there anymore.

what's the asshole mitigation plan?
We'll live, we'll see. Meta is showing its interest in mastodon, so we have a reason to worry. But I think, lemmy will change according to the situation, when situation will be present, not before it.

What is your boomer opinion
Drinking is not fun and loud parties too. Just understood, that I haven't had fun there most if the times.

Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers
They already blocked it for unregistered users. There's only that annoying overlay, that forces you to install their app.

Plumbing and electricity were always easy for me, but if you fail, you'll pay much more to fix consequences.

Very impressed with Lemmy
I'm curios to know how can I help with developing lenmy-ui. It is made with React fork, which I know very well.

How do I know lemmy is here to stay?
Look at mastodon (or try it), after Twitter user exile it grows and shines like an independent big social network. Same will happen to lemmy.
And if original developers will shut down their instances, there will still be a lot of others. And if devs abandon their code, it's opensource, so anybody can continue supporting it. And if not, ActivityPub is a protocol, that's used to exchange data, and new software will be written, like kbin is a working alternative to lemmy.
So, the only thing to worry about is a userbase, we must form it to attract new creative people here.

Also don't understand people, who chose drinking as their hobby, compete in how many and what drinks they drank, how bad it was in the morning and what weird stuff they did under influence.
I like alcohol beverages, but not a stupid culture being built around drinking.

Not as hard as for people from Ukraine, so, nothing to worry about.
Putin and his government has been killing and putting their opponents to prison since 2000-s. At the same time they were telling older people, that if they chose anyone from opposition, Russia will return to its darkest ages.
While doing this, they closed or took under their control all indepent media and made it illegal to say something, that doesn't fit their narrative.
And now people wondering why Russians aren't protesting or fighting that regime.

Running a small Lemmy instance on Pine64, is it recommended?

Yeah, don't use SD for something, that continuously writes data on it. One power outage and it will die.

Jerboa UI improvements v2
Will you make a PR? I see all this concepts here, but imaging something is not as easy as actually implementing it. Hope, Jerboa's dev team will grow with current reddit user influx.

I'm not upset about their political views. For me its just too painful to read something like "Russia didn't start that war, its NATO" while I'm currently fleeing from conscription to Russian army to fight against Ukrainian people I respect more than citizens of my motherland.
So, I make only choice I find suitable in that situation: avoid places where this behaviour is fine for mods and gains upvotes.

Residents in Russia's Belgorod region say authorities are charging 3,000 rubles for evacuation of their children
Reply in thread
Median wage for Belgorod citizen is something like $300-500, so it's not that small as it looks.
