  • The "Revolutions" podcast (season 10) by Mike Duncan goes into great detail about the Russian revolution.

    Be for warned, the Russian revolution season is over 100 episodes (more than 50 hours). Each of the seasons start out slow, introducing the characters, setting, and background, but once it gets going it gets so good.

    My recollections of the Russian revolution season was the Bolsheviks were pretty worthless and considered a joke. They kind of just succeeded because everyone else was so exhausted and apathetic by the time they tried to grab power. Also, Stalin was a Georgian bank robber.

    All the seasons are good, but the first two (English and American) aren't as good. Mike was still trying to figure out how in-depth he wanted to be for the podcast and so those seasons are rather shallow. I particularly like the Mexican revolution (Zapata!).

    Not sure I would have found that solution if I spent longer looking. Wasn't even in consideration :(

  • I think you linked the wrong picture.

    No special squares today made it a bit more challenging to see where the best areas were.

    Success, but at what cost...

  • Yeah, that is weird. I guess we'd have to dig into the code to see how or why that happened.

    That was a challenging one. Took me quite a while to find any decent solution.

  • Based on the server chart, there was a server lost that day (81 -> 80).

    Whether that was a tracking change or an error, perhaps someone with more familiarity with Bookwyrm would know.

    Took me a bit to get a hang of it, but pretty fun. Gives me minesweeper flashbacks.

  • The "Forkiverse" (theforkiverse.com) is a new mastodon instance that a tech(?) podcast setup and it's been growing pretty quickly (~10k users in 1 month). Not sure of anything else going on though.

    Edit: Podcast is called "Hard Fork". Added link.

  • Haha. Yeah, the fediverse seems to have been doing quite well in the last month.

    Took me a while and didn't trust I had the best answer, but got there in the end :)

  • Something to keep in mind is these are the public numbers. The actual numbers may be significantly worse.

  • Sorry you ran into those issues and the rude person.

    I think new accounts have some restrictions for the first 3(?) days. My understanding is that this was implemented to try to counter an annoying person who keeps making accounts doing shitty things and then deleting that account and making a new one.

    I'm pretty sure there's a way to add multiple images to a post, but I've never done it.

    For the new content, you may want to try switching your view to "New" or if it's your first time looking at piefed during the day "Top (x)" [x being how long since you last opened at Piefed]. Those methods usually bring me a bunch of new content.

    Hope your experience gets better :)

    Edit: It didn't occur to me earlier, but are you on "Subscribed" feed or "All" feed? If you aren't on all, I would suggest switching to that until you have enough subscribed communities.

  • That's a good point. I'd be curious to see the average user's journey (# of usernames and instances) before they settle. Maybe someday someone will research and write an article about that.

    Interesting little game. Would have been nice to have a pop up that explains what the items do/did beforehand, so I could plan better. I think there was a question mark on the top bar I'll need to hit next time, see if that tells me.
