EU usually uses EU Solidarity Fund for natural disasters. I’m not aware of any donations drives by people or humanitarian organizations live at the moment.
https://www.globalgiving.org always has worthwhile projects you can support or promote.
I noticed this today too, no idea what is going on. Need to reach out to the instance admin, since it’s only happening on my instance as far as I can see.
ICC can’t impose death penalty as it’s against international human rights law.
Bought and paid for establishment politicians will lean full authoritarian before they allow leftist party at the table. They don’t care about democracy.

Gaming communities are hard to grow since they require people who play the game to participate. You can only grow it on your own so much by posting the latest news.

Thanks for asking, but memes are not my thing. Though, I can add a mention to the community in !fediverse@lemmy.zip sidebar.
I don’t think they had anything specific in mind, but they just don’t want to create prominent female figures, be it real people or game characters. They have a long history of suppressing gender equality there.
latteart does not have an topic-specific instance that I would consider a better home. rivian does.
Yet, now, it has none.
There is no constancy in how things are applied.
Has 3 recommendations and allows recommending more.
Has 1 and doesn’t allow recommending more.
Both are generic topics, but are also broad enough to potentially have topic-based instance. But are treated differently.
I’m starting to come to the conclusion that having a gatekeeper for recommendations is not the right approach. It will always lead to uneven application. Allowing all matching ones eliminates that issue as well as your “top 3 largest instance” concern.
But it’s clear that we are in fundamental disagreement here. Time will tell if your effort was successful. Good luck.
The blackout failed precisely because there were no alternatives that could provide the depth and breath of content to the hundreds of millions of users that Reddit still has.
You just said content wasn’t the problem:
Because Reddit’s content is not the problem, the rent seeking is. Their shitty client is. Their closing of the API is.
It makes no sense that the blackout failed because of lack of content, since the content generation would have stopped on Reddit during the blackout. The backlash moderators got from their users for locking subreddits during the blackout was very telling. The reality is, people just don’t care enough to switch if it doesn’t affect them. And we know that % of people that used 3rd party clients was less than 5%, based on client download numbers it sat at around (6.9%, which counted users that just downloaded it once and never used).
Content can be a motivating factor in bringing in established posters, but even then it’s more about the sunk cost fallacy than content. That’s why converting lurkers into posters people is the way to grow new platforms. I’m the living proof of that, as I had 0 posts on Reddit.
And there were plenty of alternatives from established ones like Hacker News (founded in 2007) to new ones like Lemmy, Hive, Raddle, Saidit, who were all released before the Reddit changes were even announced.
Hopefully, they will be auto subscribed to the communities that are recommended and be satisfied with what they have.
So you agree that the goal is not to ease people into Fediverse, but to create a clone like experience. Glad we finally got to that.
It doesn’t matter from the individual redditor point of view which instance they used to migrate, as long as the recommendations are sound.
That’s where we disagree. You think a single recommendation is sound and “less confusing” instead of helping people understand what Fediverse is and how it works.
I don’t think it’s productive, but good luck with the effort.

It’s definitely not something a regular user should panic over. But it’s a huge deal since a lot of high security, sensitive targets also rely on the same library.
While the researchers have confirmed all YubiKey 5 series models can be cloned, they haven’t tested other devices using the microcontroller, such as the SLE78 made by Infineon and successor microcontrollers known as the Infineon Optiga Trust M and the Infineon Optiga TPM. The researchers suspect that any device using any of these three microcontrollers and the Infineon cryptographic library contains the same vulnerability.
Both. The cryptographic library in question is also used in other cryptographic applications too, so it’s a huge mess.
There are 3 levels.
The issue is that account-level and community-level languages are not always accounted for by clients, so they allow posting without setting any. Then Lemmy logic interprets it as whatever default it has set. From my testing, it seems to English, but I haven’t studied the code to be certain.
Are you sure? I noticed the opposite (all languages displayed by default), and I created this alt a few days ago
Languages are displayed in the create post page, but by default it has no language selected, aka Select language
. If you post like that, it will default to English id = 37 from my testing. Even if expanding the Select language
shows other languages, like Undetermined with id = 0.
lemmy-ui setting for languages is not exclusive for posting. It also determines what posts you will see. If you only select a single language, you will not see posts from other languages (including undetermined).
And it defaults to English on lemmy-ui even if undetermined is an available language by instance/community if no language is selected, which is not ideal either. Undetermined has id = 0, English has id = 37, so it’s not based on numbered order.
I feel like community sentiment and Lemmy team are in conflict about undetermined language. If communities that are not language specific are excluding it to create artificial friction, then the whole undetermined language should be removed from Lemmy software and user-defined defaults added to replace it, as other Fedi platform does.
It selects Undetermined
by default and there is no way to change default in Photon settings or profile settings. The only way to change the language is on per post basis.
