So... are Lemmy users also generally crypto supporters?
i’m generally anti-crypto. i’m not against it fully, i think it has a purpose but that purpose is not unstable, highly volatile investments, meme coins, or play-to-earn games.

In your opinion, what is a thing that lived up to the hype it had or still has?

I thought airpods/cordless buds were stupid when they first came out, I thought I would instantly lose the buds. now I can’t live without them.

I made a post a bit ago asking about comment replies, I’m guessing it’s not available in the app yet. I am able to upvote comments by swiping them to the right though

I definitely thought so! But I received a response from my trusted contact at the office and it was legitimate.

How can I search posts and comments on Lemmy?
on mobile browser tap the hamburger menu on the top right. in that menu you should see a magnifying glass, tap it. that should open search, which has a drop-down to select between comments, posts, etc. you can also select to search subscribed/local/all

Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone?
integration with the ecosystem. i have a mac, ipad, apple watch, airpods. it’s all so seamless. i can use my watch to ping my phone when i lose it in the blankets even when it’s on silent, i can copy text on one device and paste it on another, all my tab groups are on my computer, phone, and tablet and sync.
i like iOS. i had an ipod touch in the 2010s, so i’ve used it for over 10 years. i’m used to it, i know all the little tricks and shortcuts. i really like how it looks aesthetically.
magsafe. i don’t even use a wireless charger, but i have a magsafe pop socket, and it’s a game changer for me. i have small hands, and a pop socket is very convenient for me, but i don’t like that the regular ones take a lot of effort to remove, and sometimes i want my phone to lay flat, or need to remove the pop socket to put my phone in its dashboard grip. the magsafe pop socket holds strong enough to be effective, but can easily be removed when needed. unlike the pop socket that grips the side of the case, with the magsafe one my phone sits flat instead of wobbling when propped up.

What's something you notice often that no one ever really talks about?

i don’t leave my car at the lube shop, once i watched the mechanics lock the keys inside the vehicle in the bay next to me. they were able to get it open, but i was glad i stayed in my car, even though it was hot that day. i like to see what they’re doing and know that my keys are with me.

Timeline of our world
there are two “groups” of years. CE (common era) and BCE (before common era, also known as BC for “before christ”). we are currently in CE. There is no year zero, so 2023 years ago would be 1 BCE, and 2024 years ago would be 2 BCE. BCE years count up as you move into the past, and CE years count up as you move into the future. when you see something referred to as happening in, say, 500 BCE, that is 500 years before the common era, or 2523 years in the past.

When we are talking about years that long ago, we typically just say mya (million years ago or Ma for mega annum), or Ga for giga annum (billion years), at least this is true in my line of study, which is geology. As @fondots explained above, 1CE is considered the birth yeah of Jesus, hence years before the common era being called BC, for before Christ, before BCE became more common. Since humans (at least as Homo sapiens) weren’t around 5 million years ago, as geologists, we don’t really consider those years to be part of the BCE year group.

Does Lemmy not have a search function?
on mobile browser i was able to search posts by keyword by tapping the hamburger menu in the top right and then tapping on the magnifying glass, you can choose to search from subscribed, local, or all communities. there is a drop-down where you can select between searching posts, comments, users, etc. i found what i was looking for using it.
