Yea that's not explained better than a math teach. They just swapped notation common in math, for notation common in one specific programming language. it's only easier for the audience who happens to be familiar with programming in general, and that language in particular.

I don't understand why people frequently say this. While it's true you can pay money for them, I've never spent a dime on reddit and have given out over 50 golds and have enough coins to give out a half dozen more. I don't know what the mechanics are for earning the coins I have, all I can say is I haven't paid for any of them yet I do have them, so it's not true that when someone gives an award it was paid for with real money.

that, or just use the mobile page which is designed for such narrow aspects.

no it isn't. My interest in Lemmy is not romantic and if you do agree with this, get out and engage people in person more often.

FYI - the results you see are unique to you. Other people doing the exact same thing can see a different set of results.

yea that's not going to happen. If (when?) reddit fails and falls from it's recent heights, its going to be a slow burn not a 1-week transition to digg obscurity.

this also happens to me.

have you subscribed to much yet? My "new" feed is a constant flood of new posts (so much that I have to manually change the page # to '0' to avoid that refresh bug.

I'm pretty sure 30d (or 1 calendar month) is simply the regulatory deadline (for both CPRA/CPPA & GDPR). This is normal.

you have to go back many years before that for the eras it's referring to.

As i learn my way around ActivityPub based services, what stands out to me the most is federation is very much exposed to the users. (That, or I still just haven’t wrapped my head around the architecture details and how they manifest in terms of user experience.)

Am I just misunderstanding this, or would the end-user experience be more fluid and functional if the federation mechanics were mostly ‘under the hood’. What I mean by that is - right now if there’s a community I would enjoy participating in that is located on a different instance, in order to do that I need to (a) know it exists in the first place, (b) know what instance it is on, and (c) explicitly tell my instance about its address in order to join.

Would it be possible to have some form of master index (replicated across instances - not a centralized service) along with a public standard for registering an instance/community on the index? And if something like that existed, couldn’t that push what is an inherently more technical detail to lower levels of the implementation, and make for a simpler UX by allowing every instance to expose a more complete list of communities to users from directly within whatever instance they choose to use?
