Interesting, hope it goes well!

Go on universe simulator and find out.

Oh that’s neat, thanks.

Our local city went from a couple of hobbiest to around 20 people getting into it. It’s like a pager lol. But it does have a phone app as well as a web one.

Testing out my meshtastic setup and seeing friends.

The closest I’ve got is an rss reader for lemmy. All fediverse posts (from what I understand) can be turned into an rss feed. Lemmy communities too. I wish they had multi communities but it is what it is.

I’m in the same boat. I want to like the game and it is fun, but I got stuck with some area with orbs and my save corrupted…one of the orbs just disappeared after 50+ hours and I can’t bring myself to play again and possibly have the same bug pop up. Maybe someday but it’s just such a big game.

I’m glad they show how to turn it off.

My favorite is the remote - location jobs. Almost none of them are actually remote, they just want more people to apply so their quota will be met.

What’s the easiest way to pop up a server? I tried yunohost but the lemmy code is very old now.

15 years for me. It’s pretty great.

You can do the same in mastodon. It’s great.

I heard that WordPress has some sort of fediverse plugin, but no idea how far they got.

I wonder sometimes if the numbers are wrong. For example a server I host is up quite a bit in user count and posts, but according to the site the numbers are down considerably. It’s strange but it’s only a less than 20ish users setup. Plus not all federated services act the same.

Some have sub/supersets of the protocol implemented. For example, bookwyrms way of working with posts are wildly different than mastodon and hashtags will work one way and not the other.

I think it ultimately means that number may not be as accurate for a while while all these different servers figure out what it means to be federated.

Fair enough.

reddit is about the same in my opintion, but I do see a lot more activity on the lemmy side. I think its a combination of:

1. Less rules around communities. The barrier of entry is much lower here to post, and things dont get auto-removed because of trigger happy mods.
2. 2% of users post 90% of content. And a lot of them moved over to lemmy.
3. Servers can be brought into existence and removed at will. This may seem like a bad thing, but what it means is that the best lemmy servers can evolve and be successful in a way reddit cant. Some have different modifications to make them more user friendly, some have excellent uptime, etc…etc…
4. People from mastodon/misskey/other fediverse instances can comment/post. Even if that is not what a vast majority of us do, it does help the numbers and will continue to help engagement.

Also to @Blaze@reddthat.com Do you know if the sats above take into account the generally banned instances of lemmy? I know that a lot of instances earlier this year decided to become de-federated from the general fediverse. Do you happen to know if the website take into account those servers?

This is excellent! Thanks. Anyway to self host? I dont want to bog down your system.

Same it works well.

yeah…its just surreal. I grew up when there was no Internet at all. Now we have bots mining data from a website to get more human-like responses (and more $$). Its a strange world.

In my industry, people can get very toxic really quickly over minor details. I’ve decided quite a few times to just let things go, even if they are blatantly wrong.

You end up in a situation where the person on the other end really just does not want to drop it, has to “win” no matter what. Even if the subject in itself was something you went to school learning/writing a paper on.
