Lemmy is still growing, if a community is dead, start posting some content, people will slowly start interacting with it, especially if we get the expected wave from reddit on July 1st. Also look to see if there's another community already on another instance or platforms (like lemmy.ml or kbin), building off an existing one will be better than two fragmented communities. But if you're willing to post, post to give people something to interact with!

Until we can get the instance updated, yeah the jerboa app doesn't really work. You could try another app, I'm using liftoff but that's harder to install, you could Google "thunder Lemmy" and try that one, I haven't tested it much but I've heard good things

I'm assuming it's either apple not wanting to be told to do it, or it's due to them "learning their lesson" and no longer support it, they seem to be leaning quite heavily into privacy

Yeah I saw something saying if there was power problems, they most likely froze to death long before their oxygen would be used up

I was telling my gf about Lemmy and replacement to subreddits already showing up, and she asked if there was one named trees about weed again, thankfully there is

Yeah that's my first thought, this doesn't seem to be "easing tensions" like he went there for

They all look great, I personally like the brown one, something different than gray, but they're all very cute and look very nice

As a Lemmy user, I believe the way to tell is when looking at the top, you should see the user@instance, and it is posted to "[email protected]", this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it's abit confusing, but say "[email protected]" is how it should show for Lemmy users

Edit: and speaking of the "first time I've seen a federated post", I heard kbin.social turned off federation since it was getting overloaded with users, much less other instances. It'll slowly get better

I think they meant like "overloaded", like a hose spraying water, but the water being users from all around the fediverse

it may be worth putting a bug request on the activitypub github, because I agree that could become a huge problem, but its also alot of work to implement because most instances will need to update to the newest activitypub standard once they approve a new version of the standard.

I believe the names have to be unique on the instance-level, but not on the federal-level. So [email protected] and [email protected] are two different and valid usernames.

Its probably on everyone's end right now. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong (or if my lemmy instance and kbin weren't connected), but kbin barely is loading posts right now, I think alot of instances are struggling right now with the mass amount of reddit users flooding in. I'm sure it'll start working soon enough, once they get a handle on it
