This is just bike lanes in general, it feels like they're just painted in randomly to shut people up, except they're just not practically useful.

Meta are planning to join the Fediverse with their new Twitter competitor, which has a few codenames (Project 92, Threads, Barcelona). Following this, there have apparently been conversations between Meta and "high profile individuals associated with Mastodon" (think: Eugen) which have been bound by NDA.
This is literally all the information we have.
It's overcast and rainy, but this is so much more preferable to the heat of last week!
No plans except make it through work for now.
Ruud (instance owner) said he solved this issue earlier, so it isn't just you! Turns out he left a debug setting on for 19 days.
This is what I think too. I played before things like Melee 3.0, and when you were new you usually took a more stealthy approach as going in guns ablazing was a surefire way to get yourself killed, and honestly, it was fun!
However, once I got an arsenal, it just stopped being worth it entirely, and I miss it. Using stealth frames isn't quite the same when you're just totally invisible for the whole thing and there's not really any effort into being stealthy.
No, there is no centralised account service for the Fediverse, the accounts are owned by the individual websites (so in your case, lemmy.ml). The different softwares can then interact over the ActivityPub protocol, but how this works depends on the two softwares and what is currently implemented.
Lemmy currently cannot interact with Mastodon directly, but Lemmy communities and users will show up on Mastodon for people to follow and interact with. Lemmy users can interact with posts and comments that Mastodon users post on Lemmy though.
Haha to be honest I actually quite like it, the cost of living is low, I can get to everything I need by walking/cycling/bus/train (don't drive by choice), so I can't really complain!
I also lived in York for a little bit and that was really nice, albeit somewhat expensive, so I had to move back.
I'm up in Wigan - always feels like on the internet everyone is in London or down south!
It's cooled down up here in Wigan, so I am loving life right now being able to actually do things around the house instead of stuck on the couch in front of a fan.
Not sure what I'll actually do mind you, always tell myself I'll use my weekends to do housework, move furniture around, work on my website, but I always end up just sitting around doing nothing since I never get enough nothing done during the week, damn work!
If every instance is isolated on its own domain with no gateway between them, I don’t see much point to the fediverse.
I only really want to touch upon this point, but the Fediverse platforms were originally designed as a return to the old forum-style format of communities, where you have your own little cozy corners of the internet, with your own rules and culture, while also being decentralised and resistant to the problems of centralisation.
The fediverse, however, allows you to reach outside of your own community and follow/socialise with people inside other communities seamlessly (which, in truth, it does do), negating the need of everyone having to make accounts and identities on every single site/community they come across.
The concept of having the fediverse just be thousands upon thousands of instances seamlessly all connected to each other for maximum content discoverability is only really a mindset that has occurred recently after Musk's acquisition of Twitter, and attention was put on Mastodon. Before this, people just resided in their own little communities and talked to people they knew rather than specifically looking for more people.
The developers of these platforms are looking into what they can do regarding this, but they don't want to stray far from the principles of these software platforms by making them into social media sites that are just clones of the social media sites they're trying to move away from.
I have to admit I'm not sure what you're asking anymore, what exactly would a "better UI for viewing content across these instances" be? You can already search for communities that your instance knows about (and force it to search for any instances that you know elsewhere) using the search system, and browsing the All feed will show you all posts from communities/instances that your instance knows about as well. Trying searching gaming to see what I mean
I will say the search page feels incredibly disjointed though; I think it should group all the same content (communities, posts, comments) instead of whatever it does right now.
It sounds to me like you're asking for some sort of discoverability/content recommendations, perhaps? If this is the case, the general Fediverse culture tends to be against this sort of stuff as they see them as systems that promote more screen time and unhealthy habits, instead of actually engaging with what you know you want to engage with.
Stable, get what you need from Flatpak or Backports.
Testing and Unstable are fine, but since they're not really the "main distro", they can lag on things like security updates or fixes depending on the current pipeline.
