Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).

I'm not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state

The algorithm sucks too. When I sort by "hot" I get days old threads. "Ht" needs to prioritise both popularity and recency

Disappointing, but oh well? The upcoming Olympics gets a lot of slack, but I reckon it'll put us on the "big boy list" of Australian cities. Lang Park has horrible acoustics anyway

Thanks, that sorted it

I understand that that's the point of it, but it runs contrary the network effect that makes social media valuable, and creates too much of a barrier of entry to new users.

When Twitter became woefully unpopular, I heard several different podcasters say something along the lines of "For now we're still on Twitter. We'll move onto Mastodon once I work out how to use it", and none of them ever joined. If content creators don't join a network because it's too difficult to join compared to other networks, then content consumers will have no reason to join either.

It's no coincidence that the biggest community on lemmy.ml is Linux.

They could be legit users, FWIW, and just not understanding Lemmy enough to know what an "instance" is. Nowhere else on the internet (except Mastodon) is it a "thing" to have different instances of the same site iteracting.

Half of my comments are about Lemmy not being ready yet, or a viable alternative to Reddit. It's not a "big lie". I'm currently relying on the hover-over text to know where the icons are, brcause they're not loading for some reason. I'm confident that decentralised social media will never take off, brcause the point of social media is to bring people together rather than stick them on different servers.

 

My attempt to subscribe to this sub has been pending for 2 days.

Do we need a new mod somehow, or i there a more active Brisbane community?

Been trying to find an open source speaker designing program and so far they all suck

NSFW Reddit is the worst these days. Nothing but onlyfans ads

Are any office suites as good as MS Office for referencing and citations? One of the things that keeps my wife stuck on windows/macOS is the need for a good Office suite for university

Australia: Very unusual. I'll see someone doing it maybe once a month and always think "fucking weirdos". It's more common to see Aboriginal flags, but still uncommon

It's more common to see bogans using it as part or their beach or BBQ attire (eg, maybe an Australian flag stubby cooler)

I've developed a constant need for content

Thanks- I was hitting the rainbow

 
  • I log into my instance (lemmy.ml) and click a post on the front page that's hosted on another lemmy instance (eg lemmy.world).

  • I post a comment, which works fine, becase it opens within a container in lemmy.ml, where I'm registered

  • I get a reply which open in my inbox.

  • I go to inbox and click "show context", to know what comment chain I'm replying to.

  • Now I'm bounced to a different instance and can't reply in an instance tha I'm not registered in

Is there any way to handle this? To view the comment chain without being bounced to a post that you can't reply to, despite posting on it earlier?
