I vaguely remember a video about history of weapons that goes like "rock, fast rock, pointy rock, (...) spicy rock dropped from big metal bird" (nuke) but I can't find it again. Does it ring a bell for anyone here?

If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can't really verify whether that's accurate.

One issue with the fediverse right now is that there are many redundant communities. Like !technology@beehaw.org, !technology@lemmy.ml, !technology@lemmy.world, etc all having essentially the same topic.

I think the easiest solution to this is to take reddit's multireddit feature, allowing users to create their own "technology" multi-community that includes all the popular technology communities from all the instances. Thanks to federation, the user could interact with this multi as if it was one big community. Perhaps a way to share the multi with others so that all the component communities get federate-mirrored to the new user's instance would be needed too.

For people who previously used SMS and had their contacts saved in the phone's pre-installed contact app, WhatsApp could use all those contacts out of the box.

If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have "default blacklists" for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don't want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.

Nope, linking the video file directly creates a download link. It doesn't display a video and clicking the link downloads the mp4. Adding onlineplayer.com makes it try (but fails) to display a video inside lemmy, but clicking the link plays it.

Brilliant Pebbles. A space-based ICBM interceptor program from the 80s.

The one part of Reagan's Star Wars that would totally have worked if they'd deployed it, but the Soviet Union didn't last long enough...

I think low quality memes/shitposts can go to c/spaceflightmemes, lax discussion here. No need for rules stricter than that.

Because lemmygrad is pretty huge and other instances don't want their new users to be met with a flood of tankie content, most instances are blocking lemmygrad.

Yeah, that's why I'm here. Ironic that the current status is that the site is down but 3rd party apps work..

Site seems to be back up now.

[-] 15Redstones@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

I can open r/ukraine on RIF. 3rd party apps still work.

[-] 15Redstones@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

RIF still works lol.

[-] 15Redstones@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's just the site, 3rd party apps still work lol...

Edit: Partially. RIF works on r/all, but not the home page.

Couldn't you just make a new account on another instance and link to it on your old profile? Perhaps a feature to subscribe to export/import your subscribed communities would be nice.
