Instances are like subreddits where the mods are top level admins, and there is no central admin above them. Anyone who wants to create an instance can host their own server. Communities can be duplicated between instances so you could have dozens of c/gaming communities rather than a single community for a topic which stifles engagement a bit. The cost of hosting is paid by the admins of an instance or by donations. Sponsors and ads are not currently feasible.
Unmoderated instances allow any new instance’s content to be displayed for their users.
It’s similarly unpleasant browsing All from lemmy.world. 70% non-English (no hate, I just literally cannot engage), 25% spam crossposts, and 5% porn.
It’s like a ghost town. At least do more than dropping a link with zero discussion.
Lmao I’m not surprised that a wallstreetbets mod thought a subreddit’s name is a trademark.
Same vibe as the homeless guy who thinks I’m spying on him when I’m literally just waiting for a bus. You’re not that guy, pal.
You don’t have to wait for it to cool. As water evaporates the dissolved solids in it reach a higher concentration. If the concentration becomes greater than the molecule’s solubility it will precipitate and fall to the bottom.
Yeah invasive species are bad regardless of how cute they are. In the aquarium hobby pretty much all of the coolest species are invasive. I’m not completely happy about banning imports for the hobby, but I still support it. That’s just the cost of being a responsible pet owner.
They can still hunt and provide safety to other cats which can reproduce. Trap and release is better than nothing for sure.
What happens when you swipe sideways in the app?
Would be nice to have the option to have swipes navigate backward and forward too. I’ve been throwing out downvotes like candy lmao.
While cats are inarguably cool, they are also one of the greatest human-caused dangers to life on our planet. They did the right thing.
The source code can be forked. That particular issue is nothing to be concerned about.
Lemmygrad is tankies idolising the USSR instead of the CCCP.
I would find that fish that developed lungs and kick its ass.
I go with “nice” or a thumbs up. I don’t think it’s possible to comment on a porn post without being cringe. Sometimes you just gotta embrace the cringe.
Bigots are free to speak their minds. But they’re not entitled to someone else’s platform to do it on.
Authoritarian is antithetical to the entire left side of the political spectrum. Tankies are far right extremists.
An even better strategy for Reddit would have been to prevent Spez from making public statements about it. If the protestations had been ignored it would have blown over quickly.
Facebook. Simple as.
