Why would anyone stay on an instance that can’t interact with a huge chunk of the fediverse? Only the most passionate beehaw-ers will stay there. Most will likely leave to more accessible pastures.
Maybe this is the point. They’ve taken this extreme action to drive their non core users into other instances. This leaves only the users that want to be part of their more isolated instance, which seems to be their goal. Low volume, high quality discussions within their own community.
And when you think you’ve mastered it, you can load countless newgrfs to change things up!
I downloaded the iPad version “Transport Magnate” and I was surprised how well it works with touch screen. I’ve played on my phone but the small screen gets difficult when you are having to manage multiple management windows.
I used Safari to “Add to Home Screen”. It isn’t a real app but it has it’s own icon and acts like one.
Very nice! We’re at 44 on the AQI right now up near Poughkeepsie. Happy that it is much better than it has been.
I was using this and liked it a lot, but I don’t think it supports notifications. For that I set up RSS notifications to NetNewsWire.
I’ve been successfully posting in communities at lemmy.ml from lemmy.sdf.org, so I’m not sure what might be happening there. I was able to find Midwest.social/c/chicago from the sdf instance search. The URL should work, but you are also able to use the format !community@instance.tld (!chicago@midwest.social). The search does take a long time to fetch the results from an external instance, and there is no loading animation, so after a minute or two the results will change from “no results found” to displaying the community.
Same here! I was checking to see if there was any information about an sdf instance, when I saw the announcement on bboard!
Yeah, I see a lot of comments about ipfs. I’ll be checking it out.
I think some sort of p2p solution would be really cool. You could basically allocate a certain amount of storage on your server and images would be stored and grabbed by peers as needed. Something like BitTorrent where multiple peers have the same content to reduce load. Not sure if it already exists or is even practically possible.
it’s less a matter of disagreeing (people disagree all the time) and more a matter of knowing what to expect.
I think this is really what it boils down to. It’s not that the lemmy.ml admins should be forced to moderate in a way that they don’t agree with. Rather, users, especially new users, should be aware of the rules surrounding their moderation policies.
Lemmy.ml is the most likely starting place for new users. The critique by pineapple serves as a PSA to new members that they need to be aware that in a federated system each instance has its own rules and moderation policies. Users information to make informed decisions about the instances and communities that they want to partake in.
Your totally right.
