I recently made the switch and it's great. Definitely takes a bit of understanding and research to know what you're getting into, though.

I'm so confused lol. So you're saying taihen and godless commented the same thing as you, and that you didn't comment clue, muppets, etc?

I wish I was

I can just be

I always was

Destroy capitalism

Also checks out

Careful with that analogy. I'm hoping for a lot less flame war on the left side of the equation lol

This is why I live in a 1940s lead-lined refrigerator

And to be fair, I've definitely hic-coughed before too

I might try my hand at contributing. I have yet to do any open source development but really want to work on something lemmy related.

I was ready to put on some rose colored glasses and be all contrarian, but nah, you're totally right

Personally I feel like the Mario movie was one of the best movies like that to come out. Sure it's nothing too amazing, but for a video game adaptation it's definitely up there. It does seem like everything has to be remade to be almost deliberately awful though.

lemmymap.feddit.de is a map that shows a few things. Clicking blocked shows the corresponding connections. It doesn't show the direction, but hovering over will show you an instances number of blocks. Some of the data could be wrong, though. Last I checked every instance is listed as no downvotes. The defederation with beehaw showed up pretty quickly though.

One note, maybe don't click the 'open' checkbox because that tries to show every connection and blows up my browser!

Isn't it also the case that each instance gets updates from all others? So in this case, lemmy.world's access to beehaw communities might lack user@beehaw.org activity and beehaw's access lacks user@lemmy.world activity?

But I also believe lemmy.world can see old beehaw stuff from before the defed, so that could play a role. I'm really just trying to wrap my head around all the network effects and repercussions, its confusing as hell.

Edit: There's this comment that explains things pretty well, in case anyone is curious: https://lemmy.world/comment/205763 -- sounds like all updates go to and eventually come from the instance holding a community, so if you're defederated from them, you only see federated cross-posts in a sense. At that point I think there are different comment sections altogether.

I'm 110% sure I'm still misunderstanding something, for what it's worth lmao

I was already feeling some type of way browsing communities, like being thrown back a couple decades to chat rooms and forums. But now, seeing users from kbin and lemmy all together, just hanging out... it feels pretty awesome.
