That is so awesome!

Oh, my bad. I thought I read it somewhere that it was having some problems because of CloudFlare protection so the site would not go down by the flood of new users.

I think that is true. Could be because instances like Lemmy.ml don't let new users create an account, beehaw unfederated other instances and kbin also has some problems with federation.. So, only Lemmy.world can really thrive I guess. Other instances I have not seen that much. Maybe sh.itjust.works (or something like that) are thriving but I don't know.

Haha, nice unexpected turn there at the end.

This should be done on instance level but I'm not sure how I feel about that.

If that is how it's going to be, we will get a lot of small instances with each their own set of instance-blocking-rules. Some want the funny cat gifs instances but not the nazi instances. Some do not want the cat instances but do want the nazi instances but Als not xyz... Mayham

In the end it will probably be like the way we interact with general websites: each user has their own set of websites they have bookmarked. Nobody is going through all the internet websites and sort by new.

That is great! Will check the sketchup file. I have designed my own workbench but it still has some flaws. Mainly with the top not being able to clamp something.

Yeah tried that but unfortunately it does not understand what a Lemmy post is. It only shows comments

 

Wil it be possible to use the same client for Lemmy as for Mastodon? They speak the same protocol so it should not be extremely hard to port such client, right?

Was trying the same but instead grab some nice content that I once saved.. But none was available yet. Once that is done, I will delete my Reddit account

I don't know if it is true but I feel like Lemmy is not really USA centric at the moment. More like assuming that a user could be from any country. I think that we should keep it that way.

Not at the moment that I am aware.. There are apps but they are not as good as RIF. Hopefully the 3rd party reddit apps will be ported.

Not blocking but LinkedIn pushes mobile browsers towards their app.

Totally agree. It's called social loafing. From Wikipedia: "In social psychology, social loafing is the phenomenon of a person exerting less effort to achieve a goal when they work in a group than when working alone. It is seen as one of the main reasons groups are sometimes less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals."

In large communities like Reddit, users are less likely to participate than in a small community
