Most normal users won't care about any of this because it'll shake itself out quickly as has happened with Mastodon. But if you do care, join up with a smaller server that plays nice with everybody and enjoy the whole fediverse.

But discord supports sending messages to people who are offline. It kind of breaks the paradigm if certain features require full synchronous communication. Maybe supporting p2p transfers during a video / voice chat would work though.

They are separate applications with separate logins. Go ahead and sign up for a new account on mastodon.sdf.org.

Steering Wheel ✔️

Watch ✔️

You are doing it* right.

There are some collaborative wiki-like features in stackoverflow and maybe some of the voting features that may not be supported in the fediverse. We could capture the spirit over here though!

Just need a "mark read in scroll" for those of us who like fresh content and doomscroll often.

Meh.... The fact that I can log on after a while and read all of messages sent before I left makes some of the async-supporting chat applications more appealing to me.

Whi FAQ are you looking at?

Curious because I'm new.... What makes the instance semi-private? Is it just that the instance is small, or is there a setting that makes finding things harder for other instances?

Weird bugs in my lemmy client...

In what context are you asking about the definition of a "member"? SDF has lots of different memberships. Lemmy, shell accounts, Mastodon, etc.

For general questions about lemmy, you might have lots of luck over in https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy

I think the "make a donation" button on the homepage will work to support pretty much anything the org needs. I've used it before for Mastodon upgrades and when they needed cash for them MetaArpa cluster upgrades.

Wow this is such a cool watch. I think this is the sinn I'd get.

I wonder if the difference is related to how tight you like to stretch the elastic around your wrist and what kinds of thigs you're doing (sweating / swimming).

I don't understand. I love free software more than the average person, but I choose the communities I belong to based on more things than the license of the underlying technology. What else do I need to learn?

Instance admins can do it.

Stupid question: In your settings, do you have "hide read posts" checked?

Now supports "mark read on scroll" if you like to keep the Frontpage fresh. So good!

Oof. Gorgeous.

One reason we care about this is because we can choose to or to not purchase small fractions of these public companies and become partial owners. This information is useful in making investment decisions.
