All of social media is dying before our eyes. every platform is basically fully botted or actively dying, even lemmy seems to have fallen off quite a bit
Most Lemmy instances do not proxy images. This means every little profile picture, every thumbnail, etc, are all downloaded from different servers. There's very few privacy protections in clients either. It's most likely you just scrolled past a page with a post that had that as a link.
For example,
<- this isn't actually a real image, but your client will try and download it. And you've just sent your IP address and browser information to it.
There's two editions of Minecraft, Java edition and Bedrock edition. Java is the original version that just gets updated with the new features, but is only available on PC. Bedrock edition is available everywhere but has microtransactions and bonus Microsoft garbage
Mastodon and ActivityPub in general really need a way to move profiles, not just migrate. I don't want to have 8 different split comment/post histories and inboxes if an instance fails. This is supposedly the problem ATProto was made to fix but we see how that turned out
