comment from the forum:

New ISPs in my country are IPv6-only because there is no new IPv4 space to be provided to them. They do have a over-shared IPv4 address by CGNAT but due to the oversharing, it is unstable and not rare to be offline. For these companies, the internet access is stable only in IPv6.

Thinking about the server-side, some cloud providers are making extra charges for IPv4 addresses (e.g.: Vultr.com) so most of the servers in my company are IPv6-only. Cloning github repositories is very cumbersome due to the lack of IPv6 support and this issue affects me and my team mates on a daily basis.

The math is simple: there are 4.88 billion internet users in the world but the IPv4 space only provides 4 billion addresses. It's over: IPv4 is obsolete and is provided in a legacy mode. Current applications and services must be IPv6 enabled otherwise it should be seen as obsolete. For that matter, Github.com is an obsolete service because it relies on obsolete technology as IPv4.

Well, I hope the Fediverse works out. Otherwise I think were gonna have to go back to hand printing zines.

You can use new.Reddit.com.

You don't have to move your account. You can subscribe to the other community on the other instance from your existing account. That's the beauty of the Fediverse.

Even though email is supposedly "open", and federated, is no longer is really the case. Big services like Gmail are suspicious of non-big-name servers, and often flag email coming from them as spam.

About a year ago I came across an article from a guy who'd been running his own email server since the 90s, and finally gave up. I couldn't find that article in my quick search, but I did find this:

"I run my own email server. It's no longer a good idea, because the anti-spam arms race makes delivery from small independent servers very difficult, even when you keep yourself off the block lists, so it's a continuous struggle. Would switch, but I have too many domains/addresses"

Woot!

Woot!

Nah. Can't be. Remember when you cut off his head?

Still learning reddit hacks after all these years.

Holy Toledo! That's a metric shit ton of instances! I was scrolling for days. Go Lemmy!

yes

That's an elaborate description of how to make them, without telling you what they are.

I appreciate where you're coming from. But careful you don't replace Trumpist fascism with some other kind of authoritarianism. You want people who tell lies to face house imprisonment? Who decides what statements are lies? It's an easy power to abuse.

I'm switching today. Right now. Because of this post.

^^maybe
EDIT: okay. I think I've done it. I'm currently editing this comment from Firefox. I already had Firefox installed. But now I have pinned it to my taskbar. I went to import my bookmarks from chrome, and found that I also had the option of importing other stuff from chrome, too (bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data). That's sweet. My bookmark bar has the same bookmarks in the same position. I also installed ublock origin, like someone recommended. And I am going to give it a go. If it all goes smoothly, I will unpin Chrome from the taskbar.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

Well, my understanding is that email is federated, and SMS text messages are federated, but it isn't easy to email a phone number, or send a text to someone's email. So I'm surprised that Kbin and Lemmy can talk to each other.

But I see someone else answered that Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon all speak the same underlying protocol, ActivityPub. Now it's starting to make sense.

Could you give me basic instructions for how to use this?

Even though it says Subscription Pending, you should effectively already be subscribed.

How's the no poop challenge community in the Fediverse? I find that mildly amusing.

Anyway, I find your strategy for creating multi-Lemmies to be creative, effective, and harmless.

Oh right, that...

I know there have been some programs that rewrite your comments with other content. This makes it so that Reddit can't restore what you had there originally.

"Cocktail pods are small, single-use packets that contain all the ingredients you need to make a specific cocktail. All you have to do is add alcohol and water, and you're ready to go."

Thanks for posting the link!

The farmers' association, Coldiretti, said Sicily was facing an "unprecedented catastrophe and incalculable environmental damage".

The minister for civil protection, Nello Musumeci, wrote on Facebook: "This is one of the hardest days in Italy's history for 10 years. Climate change has hit our nation and demands that we all change our ways. There are no excuses."
