I didn't know that!! That's kinda cool. Makes you wonder

Woah, cool find! I always forget how cool snakes are until I see them up close again. And both 2m long? Not too shabby

I hope you know i look forward to your article posts almost every day lol. I appreciate you keeping this community alive

Turdus has got to be one of the worst (or best) genus names

I know it's a feature -- that's what I meant by "most of it is a result of completely intentional behavior". However, I then went on to say that it is still detrimental to my users' browsing experience if they want to "daily drive" r1b.it. Like I said in another comment, I'm not replicating the entire fediverse -- that's why I didn't opt for a relay. I'm only replicating what my users want to see

Edit: I also want to make it clear that this optimization is actually super beneficial for most instance. However, for us little guys that are just getting off the ground with only a handful of users, it can be hard to deal with

I looked into relays a bit, but I don't think they're what I want for my tiny little instance. Relays are a firehose; they ingest everything from every instance connected to the same relay, which can quickly take up storage on my low-end setup. My little Python script is more precise. It only targets individual communities that my users are actually interested in.

That's all assuming I'm actually understanding how relays work. If I'm missing something, please let me know, and I can change gears without a hitch

Agreed! I've loved both turtles and tortoises since I was a kid

Thanks for the nomination :) I do really love these guys

We BARELY got back ahead. Order has been restored to the Fediverse

Edit: Nope nvm.... My internet was just slow so it didn't update it. We're even more behind now lol

Super compelling read, and it honestly made me kinda sad. Any of these would make a fantastic species of the month. More people need to know!

I agree with pretty much everything people are saying, at least that which is kind. I think I probably just overcorrected when trying to account for the fact that Lemmy tends to bring in the techy type. My thought process was flawed. I don't have much to say beyond that and an updoot, which I've been giving to most

Also, the edit to the post was intended as a mass reply. A lot of people are saying the same thing, so I didn't want to reply to each individual one, nor did I want to come off as argumentative. Like I said, I agree with what most are saying

I appreciate you being as kind as you are in response to a half thought-out thought posted sporadically onto the internet. You're giving me too much care, lol

He won, but at what cost?

I don't wanna rent the hardware for my instance forever :(

$60+ for a video game with more paywall-locked content is absolutely diabolical... My most expensive game is Factorio lmfao

Can unopened. Poser...

I just made my own instance :) I'm VERY excited about it

Twin

Your logo looks identical to Photon's logo, and the UI seems very Photon-y. Inspiration or coincidence?

Working the TLD into the name of the site itself is a recent trend I've seen. I did it with my instance, and so did the hosting service I use, elest.io
