  • Be the change you want to see in Lemmy

    Jump

  • Once you've read the Silmarillion, there's also The Children of Húrin. If you start from the Hobbit > LOTR > Silmarillion > CoH, it's basically a steady progression of increasing epicness and tragedy.

    I suppose the Silmarillion is the most epic, but Children of Húrin is the most intensely tragic.

  • What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms?

    Jump

  • Yes this is good to know, I wasn't aware of the background with some of the fediverse projects.

  • I don't understand the question. Pretty much all fediverse software was built with federation in mind from the start. They all started from scratch afaik, nothing was built on top of a centralized design.

    They also happen to perform similar functions as earlier centralized websites, but that's simply because those are the ways that people commonly prefer to use the internet. People use it to share photos, stream videos, connect with friends, microblog, blog, browse content aggregators, etc.

    There could definitely be new paradigms of internet usage waiting to be discovered, but if the fediverse can't even replace the existing functionality of the web first, it'd be very ambitious to start building brand new types of sites already.

  • are there any lemmy instances that are 13+ like how other platforms are, or are they all 18+?

    Jump

  • In my experience most internet spaces that specifically cater to teenagers also tend to attract a lot of creeps. I think it's probably for the best to nominally limit Lemmy to adults only, especially at this early stage.

  • You're assuming that a centenarian couldn't set up a Lemmy server? That's ageism

  • Some more carvings

  • Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

    Jump

  • That's true, originally only users that posted or commented were counted as active. Then they changed it to count users who had voted as active, even if they didn't post or comment.

    But I believe that change occured almost one year ago, in March 2024. You can see a big spike of active users at that time. Starting this January we've seen some really nice organic growth, although it's not nearly to the level of the API exodus. We still need more users, but it's really encouraging to see some solid growth after over a year of stagnation/slow decline.

  • Wow. Absolute legend

  • hexbear.net is on sale for auction

  • That's okay, I forgive you.

  • Making a mockery of socialism isn't cool. People are dying out here and you guys are actively propping up capitalism with your edgy teenage antics. Do better.

  • I'm asking if chapo.chat is part of Lemmy or not. Do they federate with other servers, or is it isolated? Just answer the damn question.

    I explicitly federated sh.itjust.works with hexbear, at the request of your fearless leader u/CARCOSA, and I took a whole bunch of shit from all sides for that decision. Then you defederated us within 24 hours, because you couldn't handle losing arguments with our users. I have always tried to be reasonable with you people but it counts for nothing, because you just attack and abuse everyone you come into contact with, and you actively refuse to confront reality.

  • sigh

    That's a funny way of saying you have no clue what chapo.chat actually is. Hexbear is the epitome of the blind leading the blind.

    I could never have imagined that certain leftists were equally as stupid and ignorantly abrasive as MAGA trumpers, but you clowns have proven it beyond all doubt. It's so profoundly concerning and disappointing 😑

    Why can't you just act like a mature adult and answer a simple question? Why must you incessantly seek to spread divisiveness and misery?

  • I get that but do we need to defederate from them or not? It seems like they don't have federation enabled or something.

  • Has chapo chat been federated with us this entire time? I'm just trying to understand what it actually is.

  • Lemmy Release v0.19.9

    Jump

  • Lol nice, thanks for the link.

    I've started dreaming in markdown 😅

  • Lemmy Release v0.19.9

    Jump

  • Yes that's what I meant by inserting a line break. Btw you only need three hyphens.

    I've become pretty adept with lemmy markdown, it's extremely useful for formatting

  • Lemmy Release v0.19.9

    Jump

  • Amazing that we are already up to 0.19.9 and on the verge of version 1.0.

    The project has come a long way since 0.17.4, when I first joined. Sometimes it felt like it was taking a long time but looking back it seems like it went so fast. Thank you so much to all contributors, especially Dessalines and Nutomic.

    There is still much more to be done, but I also think it's good to reflect on how far we have come.

    Very nice to see the fix for the spoiler bottom margin, I have been inserting line breaks after spoilers to alleviate that issue for quite some time.

  • Crossposting here because apparently this transphobic mod is running their community, where they enable other transphobes, on this instance, which I don't think they should be allowed to

  • The world seems so simple when you have a simple mind. Must be nice.

  • The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

    Jump

  • https://discuit.net/

    One of the more commonly recommended reddit alternatives aside from Lemmy. Goes to show how far ahead we are of any other alternative, they all have virtually no activity.

    Also note that we bottomed out around 37k in October 2024, so we have seen pretty significant growth since then, and it seems to be accelerating.
