I do dreaming spanish also, and some comprehensible input youtube channels for Chinese. It really is the best way to learn a language.

The active, hot, and scaled sort have that two day bump limit, but active uses the newest comment time for it’s algorithm, whereas hot uses the post creation time.
So the hot sort is better for new trending content, and active is better for topics with new comments.
We added the scaled sort to help with that(it gives a boost to less active communities), but I don’t know if many people are using it.
I hadn’t heard of that bug, could you link the github issue?
What does a flower or a blade of grass mean?
There’s a really good section on him in the book, How to hide an empire - a history of the greater united states.
Could you open up an issue on the github for this (if you didn’t already).
Thx! Let me know if the postgres upgrade helper script I provided has any issues.
This is correct, and we’ve been following this for lemmy too.
That’s my bad really. Currently we’re using the patch semver to denote non-breaking changes, and the minor for breaking.
We’re holding off on a major release until the API reaches stable, which like all open source projects we’re reticent to do because then it puts a lot of pressure on us to match the standard of enterprise-level software developed by a large corporation.
Even though lemmy has many thousands of monthly active users, we’re still really an beta-level software developed by a handful of people.
Tempo is pretty good.
Yep, major thanks to @asonix for adding this to pict-rs.

No probs!
The way political discussions are often policed on ML instances (This one, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear) is not conducive to helping new people see your point of view.
If you ask in earnest, you’ll get good responses. A good number of people ask questions not to learn a different point of view, but to reinforce their own existing biases, which naturally becomes exhausting. Kind of like how POC get tired of justifying their existence to white supremacists, communists often for good reason get tired of trying to justify the existence of countries who choose to follow their own path, outside of the model of bourgeois democracy.
Aren’t people on ML instances also doing the exact same thing when they shout down and decry the wretched “liberals” (which seems to refer to anyone left-of-centre who doesn’t support communist party rule)? Whether it’s “tankie” or “liberal”, it only further entrenches the us vs them mindset.
Liberal, unlike tankie, has a fairly precise meaning in political discourse. It can be used too loosely IMO, but it generally means pro-capitalism, pro-individual freedom (including to exploit labor power to earn surplus value), pro free-market, pro-free speech (for all including reactionaries), pro wage-slavery, as well as specific limitations imposed on those considered outside of the “community of the free”. Its important to realize that even the US mis-definition of liberal (as vaguely socially progressive) includes all of the above, and the internationally accepted definition of liberal, is right wing (for example, the right wing party in Australia is the liberal party). The best book I can recommend here, is Losurdo’s Liberalism - A counter-history.
Not only that, but liberals rule most of the world, and especially most of the economies and governments of anglo-speaking countries, extracting a surplus from the sale of their labor power (who are mostly extremely poorly paid proletarians in the global south), and are responsible for most of the suffering of working-class people worldwide.
Ask these questions over on lemmygrad or hexbear, you’ll get good answers.
That makes sense. lemmy.ml won’t be the one to defed from any of the larger servers, because we want to promote an interconnected fediverse, even if it does mean a lot of cross interaction and potential fights between pro and anti-communists.
Other servers are free to defederate if they wish, obvi its up to a server-owner to run their server how they see best. Even if there’s more rifts in the fediverse, I’m not too worried… the long-term trend though will be towards instances that connect with the most people, and don’t shut themselves out.
I just don’t see the point of using lemmy unless they’re a leftist in the first place.
Reddit already exists, and has a much bigger userbase that’s already pro-US and heavily anti-communist.
If it’s just because reddit took away the app treats, that’s kind of a sad reason to use an explicitly anti-corporate software, but I’m sure there’s a chunk of ppl on lemmy don’t think much past that.
I apologize for the innappropriate behavior and bans by @[email protected] in this thread, I’ve removed them as a mod here, banned them, and unbanned the ppl who they innappropriately banned.
Note: if they get unbanned in the near future, its because of our consensus procedure which requires us admins to take a vote.
