Is it illegal/poor taste to port content from Reddit over to Lemmy?
I'd say if someone is planning to do this just create a new lemmy explicitly for this purpose. I don't think it would be healthy for existing communities if too many posts are just copied from reddit with no OP to engage with.

The Supreme Court rejects Biden's plan to wipe away $400 billion in student loan debt
Can anyone clarify if this strikes down Biden's plan in it's entirety or just the lump s forgiveness? TBH I always considered the rest of the plan that fixes ballooning interest and unaffordable monthly payments the meat of this plan. The 10k is just meh and isn't really fixing anything long term. Would be really unfortunate if the former got screwed by the latter

I've worked in at a smaller startup with a ping pong table and my anecdote is we were all obsessed with ping pong. So their excitement could really be genuine. It's not always a ruse.

I keep hearing optimized is staying in WT1. That said, I've found WT2 more fun/challenging and would recommend for the first play-though. Plenty of time to go the "fast" route in future seasons, but that's just my opinion.

Reddit slowly became filled with hate
Reply in thread
Yeah in the short month-ish I've been a part of a few different lemmy instances the level of "political empathy" has taken a nose dive in the past few days IMO. I think that sadly with such a fast migration from reddit the opportunity to form a different culture here is simply drowned out.

Why do some people still have hope for Reddit?
Reply in thread
To me the enshitification is the real reason I'm here. The API changes are just the catalyst. At the end of the day I think the protests with a goal of enacting change at reddit is kinda silly. They are free to run their business poorly, whatever. I do support the protests but for my own reasons because I want to see reddit fail and a new evolution of the medium to arise. Reddit will continue to get shittier, let's convince people to move elsewhere.

Will there really be a big influx of users on the 30th?
Reply in thread
I think the influx of people self motivated to leave reddit happened, yes. But there's a huge chunk still on reddit using apps that will straight up stop working, what then? Your primary interface with the site being gone is an even stronger motivation than leaving in protest.
Anecdotally I'm still using reddit today (albiet less) but once rif dies... Goodbye reddit I guess

Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old?
Reply in thread
I'll hop in and second this comment. Setting up a server could be a fun learning experience but I don't recommend you do this with the intention of using this as your 'production' lemmy or leaving it open to the internet.

Also playing Druid, lvl 35 at the moment. Haven't had too many problems myself, certainly challenging and forces you to think about gearing beyond "just use the highest ilvl". But I've also play a lot of Diablo 2/3 so that helps.
