Lemmy is not great but its getting better

I'm a redditfugee (?) but using the voyager web app absolutely scratches my reddit itch for reading/participating in discussions on posts. I switch which server I'm logged into and sorting methods to see the widest spectrum of content

As apps are being developed, there will be a more seamless experience but for now I'm excited to be part of something "new" and something that's going to be part of internet history

I feel that so hard. Where I work, inside a big refrigerated box inside a warehouse, there are times the only natural light I see is when I go outside for my breaks (for a total of a bit less than an hour). I live far enough north that it's dark when I start and dark when I end my shift. And yeah, that fucks with me pretty good

I have always found the night sky absolutely magical. And even when I'm in that state, there's something humbling and welcoming and comforting looking up at the stars and realizing that my feelings of "I don't matter" are valid because I am nothing in this great universe; and those moments are ok because everyone and everything are so insignificant in relation to the vastness of our universe

Remember how much impact a few posts can have

For what? To engage in the community as a whole and to encourage others to as well, or to get your community noticed by people browsing the different filters (new, hot, active, top...)

For why I'd want to post? It would depend on what I'm posting. For example, if it was a meme I thought was funny and it got a lot of upvotes, I'd feel good knowing that other people found it funny, too

If I post looking for a conversation about a topic or at an answer to a question, I'd be excited for some upvotes but a little let down if no one actually responded

Also there's no incentive to be a karma whore on reddit either.. well except their harebrained idea to monetize whatever new award system is coming

Aggressive much?

I've got nothing to add to the ddg discussion but today is the first time I've heard of ZoneAlarm. But I saw a post to a Firefox community about the latest update that included support for it and a couple people mentioned it. Just an amusing coincidence
