It's allowed to promote instances as well now, I guess. It used be just communities.
Badly worded post.

Hurdy-gurdy

The hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that produces sound by a hand-crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin (or nyckelharpa) bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents—small wedges, typically made of wood or metal—against one or more of the strings to change their pitch. Like most other acoustic stringed instruments, it has a sound board and hollow cavity to make the vibration of the strings audible.

A few nights ago I was trying to read a book, and there was a dog across the road who wouldn't stop barking. I was reading a single page for 15 minutes until I was finally able to tune him out.

There is no good way really.
Lemmy's search is pretty lackluster. You will have a hard time finding what you are looking for, unless you are searching for something verbatim, and if your query contains common words...Good luck. It also has no search operators.

When it comes to search engines, only google is somewhat usable (from my experience), but it's very much hit or miss. Sometimes you will be able to find the post, just by typing lemmy [post title or part of it], but it will almost never be in the top results.
And most of the time , first result is Reddit...


You can try using https://fedi-search.com

It basically just uses this query for "more accurate search" [search query] (intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join-lemmy")

And this one for normal search [search query] (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:lemm.ee OR site:hexbear.net OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com OR site:feddit.de OR site:kbin.social OR site:mastodon.social OR site:mastodon.cloud OR site:mstdn.social OR site:mastodon.online OR site:mastodon.world OR site:libre.video OR site:video.antopie.org)

Which is not just for lemmy, as you can see

 

Here is the search query I made for the top 35 lemmy instances (by active users) based on this: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

[your search query] (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemm.ee OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:hexbear.net OR site:lemmy.ca OR  site:programming.dev OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com OR site:feddit.org OR site:lemmy.blahaj.zone OR site:discuss.tchncs.de OR site:lemmygrad.ml OR site:sopuli.xyz OR site:lemmy.sdf.org OR site:lemmy.zip OR site:beehaw.org OR site:infosec.pub OR site:aussie.zone OR site:feddit.nl OR site:midwest.social OR site:feddit.uk OR site:slrpnk.net OR site:reddthat.com OR site:lemmy.one OR site:jlai.lu OR site:pawb.social OR site:lemmy.kya.moe OR site:lemmy.today OR site:startrek.website OR site:feddit.it OR site:mander.xyz OR site:ttrpg.network OR site:lemmings.world OR site:ani.social OR site:feddit.org)

In SearXNG u can use !lepo to search lemmy posts but it's basically just lemmy's search.

That is unfortunate...
I had an unrealistic expectation, I thought they'd be able to support Manifest v2 for a long time, or find some kind of workaround.

They say Vivaldi is future proof because of their built in adblocker, but unfortunately it is not very good...

Yes, butt:


I also saw a video of a monkey peeling it from the stem side and then proceeding to clean it of all those stringy bits before finally eating it.

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIc5kTth1lE

Wow that seems painfully slow/tedious. Why isn't it automatized? I think I saw a robot do like 20 pages a second on a yt some years ago.

I just learned about it yesterday. Seems like Vivaldi but on gecko, which I always wanted to see.
Unfortunately it seems like it's maintained by only one overworked dev. It needs more funding and more devs.

Take those graphs with a grain of salt. There are several websites that track activity and all of them show different results. I also assume that almost every lemmy update affects these graphs, since things did break quite a few times.

 

This is from the official lemmy site join-lemmy. It says 820 Servers, 41k Active users

spoiler

 

This is from fedidb (same site the screenshot from the post comes from). 923 Servers, 39,832 Active Users and 433,819 Total Users

spoiler

 

Then we have fediverse.observer. Based on that graph, monthly active users are growing. 845 Servers and 43,631 Active users and 1,944,442 Total Users

spoiler

 

And finally we have lemmyverse. Which uses the method to find the "sus" servers and users, so 863 Servers and 1,741,848 Actual Users

spoiler

 

To me personally it seems like the content is becoming more regular and better in quality overall. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Although I can't find those exact pics, I believe that the photographer is Drew Buckley (Puffin Man), he takes a lot of photos of puffins :D

Walking doesn't really burn all that much calories, you likely overestimated how many calories you burnt and underestimated how many calories you took in.
