Ok, thanks! Kind of what I expected both in terms of not being able to compare exactly and Lemmy being light. I appreciate it.

Do you have any thoughts on how the two compare in terms of resource utilization (CPU / RAM) given a similar number of users and activity?

I've been curious about this, because Rust, the programming language used for Lemmy, is supposed to be a LOT more CPU/RAM efficient than Python, the language used for Piefed. Python, on the other hand, is supposed to be much faster to initially develop in, which would at least partly explain how Piefed gained so many features so quickly compared to Lemmy.

Cool to see a Linux smartphone, but holy moly, what a terrible name!

Finally! It was completely ridiculous that this wasn't done from the start. For those who don't know, the Metro line used to be as close as less than a mile from the airport for decades. The story I read on the news was that someone was worried about the loss of parking revenue for the airport (/city?). Realize that this is also one of the most car-congested airports around, which totally fits with it belonging to one of the most car-congested cities.

  • Completely flat chiclet keyboards on laptops. It drives me absolutely insane because I can barely tell if my fingers are aligned with the keys. Thanks, Apple!
  • Hidden controls on desktop software or desktop websites (ex: hidden exit, forward, and back controls on picture galleries)
  • Hiding or collapsing scrollbars on desktop software

In general, it seems like there's a major trend in design of form beating the heck out of function. It looks pretty! Who cares if you can actually use it or not?

Edit: never mind, I misunderstood what you wrote!

Good to know, thanks!

Ah, yes, I can understand that. I remember reading about all the issues that .world was having in the early days. Good to hear you like .zip though.

Interesting, thanks! I did not realize that.

What do you mean to edit your top posts to an archived version?

What do you mean? Don't instances keep a local copy of images from other instances?

All good points.

Faster than .zip? Perhaps. But when I moved from lemmy.sdf.org to lemm.ee I went back to using SDF several times because .ee would have major slowdowns. Which is weird because of how hands off the SDF admins seem to be. Perhaps the performance has more to do with network location and resources allocated to the server?

Exactly. People will have different definitions of "good".
