I was on one of their megathreads, and it had 900 comments to a 100 up voted post. 95 percent was text. They comment always. The pig stuff are probably a fraction of what they post.

Also a great hack to lower your personal rate of inflation.

The lemmydotworld admins are preemptively defederating from far left hexbear. Defederation is supposed to be the last resort. The ironic thing is, only a few weeks ago we had redditors calling Lemmy devs tankies and telling people not to come here lol. And now we’re losing potential users because of paranoia from lemmydotworld admins.

Clowns everywhere.

Yes, I did. Wow, I’m happy to know that it works. The double notifications are wierd and a touch annoying, (something for devs to fix).

I’m happy it’s worked. But so long as I’m replying to you I suppose I don’t need to tag you.

It’s stopping people from subbing to different communities which is probably a bad thing.

@[email protected] did it work?

The other guy, schmidt-something is pointing out that people will use their instances to have like-minded community whether that’s interests, language or specialism, while you appear to be advocating for the reddit type congregation of people and for some reason also arguing against the other guy’s description of reality, of how things are. I don’t see why you are offended at him…

And I see you have your own anxiety and disagreement about the nature of Lemmy’s federated system. That’s no reason to shoehorn it into every discussion.

I think you are pessimistic about Lemmy’s potential for small communities.

But have you considered that we’re not indexed on Google yet? And we largely don’t have a pervasive culture of promoting niche communities yet like they did on the large subreddits. So this is two other ways small communities aren’t being found in the first place.

I’m not getting that, but maybe that’s because I’m on Firefox with a bunch of extensions.

A smidgeon maybe.
