Some subs (like news related subs) that makes sense. Absolutely not for AITA or anything else that calls for interaction, or for any sub where the content is assumed to be created by the person who posted it.

Can’t wait to see /r/trees started posting about actual trees

When I was in high school, my computer science teacher (who had spent some years working in Cameroon) played music in the background during exams, which included Zangalewa. When our class went out for programming competitions as a team, it became our anthem.

Immediately upon the death of 3PA:

  • 1% stop browsing
  • 1% move to Lemmy
  • 98% wonder what all the fuss was about

That said, 6 months down the line:

  • 3% move to Lemmy
  • 60% have forgotten about it entirely
  • 37% have gradually stopped using Reddit as it grew into a bland, boring cesspool of spam and reposts

I like how everyone is answering the literal question asked (is it possible? Yes!) and no one is picking up on the extremely obviously implied question of “how?”

(I don’t know how or I’d answer)

Try the Lemmynsfw.com instance. Seems to be where most of the porn is going

TLDR: they’re heavier and they go faster, so injuries are more likely and worse

Mastadon has a little verified checkmark thing, Lemmy could definitely incorporate it. I believe it requires putting a small file on a server, so it basically verifies “yes, the guy with the account JoeSchmo is in control of joeschmo.com”.

I’m not sure how much distributing the load will actually help, since most content has to get mirrored across federated servers.
