Yeah I guess many skilled sports have some unique slang for a beginner or someone with no clue. Grom is another weird one for surf/skate.

100% of people who say shit like this in reference to Norway don't know that Norway isn't a member of the EU.

You'll have a second kimchi awakening when you switch to home made :)

I've never seen store bought that can compare, barring actually being in Korea.

It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.

Further, it's a transaction that Reddit facilitated out of their own pocket. I think people are being extremely petty about it. It's best to just mourn and move on, we can still appreciate the golden years that Reddit gave us.

I agree, it seems very petty to me. If you don't like the direction just leave, what's the point of trying to burn it down? Especially given how much we all got out of it throughout the golden years. I say just mourn and move on.

Not trying to insert my own opinion but I believe it's because the core Lemmy devs actually admin and/or are involved in said instance. Well verify for yourself but somebody said it's hosted from the same IP as lemmy.ml. And the core devs comment and moderation histories are public for all to see.

You pointed out all the extra complexities. Visiting multiple websites, and making a decision, and understanding what the decision means. Those are the complexities, nobody is saying they are big but even you recognize they exist.

Mainstream is also what killed Reddit, better to have a "big enough to be good" community. I almost appreciate that the barrier of entry is slightly higher.

This way the weight of the saw and therefore the cutting force will always be concentrated on a small number if teeth, which are able to slice deeper thanks to the extra force. Remember that when crosscutting you need to slice wood fibers. Rather than shear them as you do when ripping.

Thanks. To clarify, my server would have to do this? I don't run my own server, I just joined a fairly small one (I didn't know it would matter).

 

As far as I know, one of the headline features of microblogging networks is searching and following hashtags. On top of that, Mastodon (like Lemmy) tells users that it's not important what server/instance you join, because of federation.

With Lemmy, I find it easy to search and interact with communities across all the federated instances. Chances are, people on my local instance (even if it's relatively small) will have already interacted with popular communities for a given topic, so they will be easy to discover. However with Mastodon this concept seems totally broken -- when I search a hashtag I want to see everything, and related posts might be spread out over hundreds of small servers for which, apparently, my small server has no content populated. With Lemmy, I understand that content gets populated on my local instance when somebody else on my instance has interacted with it before. I just don't understand how this approach is feasible with for a system like Mastodon. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but it seems like the only way to have a reasonable chance of getting decent results for hashtag searches is to be on the biggest server?

If I were implementing this nefarious Reddit I probably wouldn't have edits wipe out the original data. It's certainly not necessary to implement edits that way.

As for 1. I'm told they're getting rid of websockets in the next release, which should mean this annoying behavior goes away as well.
