I think one of the Lemmy devs is German too

I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I’m also using it on android next to sync.

Copilot/Bing Search might put a big dent in that in the future. People will just ask an AI instead of “googling”.

Could be just tactics. Remember the uproar the first time it was said threads would federate? Suddenly they were “not ready yet”.

Now in the second go, the idea got already normalized and there are more pro-meta comments. And they will stay silent and non-intrusive at the beginning.

Zuck is really big into early adaptation (metaverse i.e.), they see potential in the fediverse and their first objective is to be part of it, then grow with it and finally take advantage of it, once the time is right.

It’s really not a good thing that some people think the fediverse is going to go up in flames as soon as meta joins. That’s obviously not going to happen and sets wrong expectations that could lead to more acceptance.

They can get the data, but they need the federation so people see their content/advertisement.

It’s completely normal that your progress starts stalling after 8 months of newbie gains while being on a cut.

If you want to continue your fat loss journey, focus on your diet: keep your protein intake high and don’t be in a too drastic but steady caloric deficit, prolonging the diet forever is not going to lead you anywhere.

Training is secondary for you right now, don’t change programs and KISS (keep it simple, stupid).

Seriously, you might not see any gains anymore until you are done cutting, no matter which program you do, overthinking this will only frustrate you. Remind yourself that you came a long way but that this is a long term thing, with one step at a time. Do your curls however you like (just not in the squat rack), but stop fucking around with them.

You have to go first to “sources” and then it’s in the YouTube options

But they were FUMING!

Fucking clickbait everywhere.

From the article:

The Commission found that Israeli Security Forces killed 183 of these protesters with live ammunition. Thirty-five of these fatalities were children, while three were clearly marked paramedics, and two were clearly marked journalists.

I don’t understand why some instances keep being federated with them.

They belong(ed) to the german royal house “Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha” and changed their name to “Windsor” after WW1 to not be affiliated with germany anymore. I don’t know if that’s enough to call them foreign though.

I’m on a german instance (feddit.de) and it’s federated with db0.

I think it’s just lemmy.world bullshit.

Has anyone read their post about their downtime?

“We shouldn’t close registration or limit the amount of communities because we’re not even the biggest instance in the fediverse”

Like, what?! The argument was always that they are the biggest in Lemmy! It felt like they were trying to gaslight the users.

Same as the other arguments, like new users being weirded out if they can’t register to lemmy.world or apps using them as default. So them being down all the time doesn’t matter? Or that lemmy.ml was the biggest instance and closed down registration and new users registered to other instances without a problem?

I’m really weirded out how hard they try to be the “main” thing on Lemmy.

Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

• I had “Undetermined”, “Deutsch” and “English” selected in my profile.
• I was able to set the comment to “Undetermined”, but then still not able to set it to “Deutsch” (back to “English”, worked though)
• Changing the word “homie” didn’t make a difference
• Other comments set to “Undetermined” were able to switch to “Deutsch”
• Other comments set to “English” (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to “Deutsch”

Seems like it’s a problem with this comment in particular, but I can’t figure out why!

Edit: I found another comment set to “Deutsch”, written in german, that can’t be changed no matter what.

I’m trying but the save button just loops endlessly…

What difference does it make? Aren’t you able to see the comment?

Alle meine Zuhausis hassen Waldorf Frommer!

I agree with your points and like the idea of more specialized instances and also country related instances. I think it’s solvable if the different admins work together.

Lemmy.world doesn’t have to go private, they could just not accept more users and communities for a while. It wouldn’t change much since everyone will still be able to post and comment on Lemmy.world from all instances. New users would just have to choose a different instance that’s all.

For me that’s the whole point, I don’t see any benefit of a big instance, the Lemmyverse doesn’t need one.

Understandable, but aren’t growth and instability related in this case? There are many instances with capacity that are already run by capable people. Just spread the load (ahem) across the Lemmy verse and only handle as much as you can. But maybe I’m missing a point, I just think that this would be the best for Lemmy in the long run.

How about another approach?

There is no good reason for Lemmyworld to keep on growing to an extent that this kind of overhead is necessary. The idea of Lemmy is decentralization and not creating a new reddit instance. Close your registration, limit your amount of communities and let Lemmy grow in other directions.

Well, I guess all the life forms that are going extinct through the Holocene/anthropogene extinction event, which humans caused, don’t matter?

Sure there will be life on earth and it will adapt, but don’t act like we’re not taking down whole families of plants and animals with us… because it’s already happening.

Maybe it’s more about already being able to see the results of climate change.

Rivers drying out, ice sheets and glaciers melting, oceans heating up, desertification, water shortages, etc.

And with everything it seems like we’re “nearly” at a breaking point. Cities running completely out of water, crops failing because of the heat or forests dying or burning, etc.

At least it feels like we’re not that far away from a really bad time than anticipated.
