I wouldn't be surprised if users of most new apps with a lot of hype follow this trend. Everyone jumps in at first, as hype dies a lot of users stop visiting, and after that is when # of daily users stabilizes and begins the organic growth. We are still in the hype dying phase, transitioning to normal growth.

For that reason, I dont put much weight in headlines like this. It will take several more months or a year to really make a conclusion on whether the app is a success or failure.

Start here https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/972 and then https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/973

Tldr someone moved a popular repo from typescript to JavaScript, the negative response was quite overwhelming.

There was a hank green video about this a year back. Video link here, the tldr was that container ships used to use a type of fuel that was both bad for the environment but also really good at cloud seeding. More clouds shielded the oceans surface from the sun, artificially reducing its temperature. But in 2020 regulations made container ships move to a fuel that didnt seed clouds as much, so fewer clouds, higher temperature.

So i guess one potential take away from that, if its right, is that the temperatures are not "suddenly" getting worse, but rather have been artificially depressed and we are only now going to what it should be.

Going to see Oppenheimer in imax soon and this post got me researching about imax and fake imax and now im a little disappointed that the imwx theater im going to is just digital imax (fake imax). Oh well :/

While there is definitely a bunch of content popping up now thanks to to influx of actuve users, there still are some more niche communities that were pretty active on old reddit that i guess just can get to critical mass on lemmy and so are pretty dead. I hope that can change going into the future though.

Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle isnt as meaningful of an experince as some thats maybe wide as a pond and deep as a pond. 100+ hours is useless if those hours are boring. Id rather they make shorter more meaningful experiences.

Every year is the year of the linux desktop lol

Linking from else where in the post... They did push into a test environment and it looked fine. the issue here resulted from the immense user load in production which did not show up in the test environment.

How fast can one really read 6000 post ? Assuming you read 100 post a minute, is that 1 hour of usage before getting cut off for the day? I dont really have a feeling how many posts a normal twitter user would go through in a minute.

It would be interesting to have a poll on how many people really would want reddit-style karma on lemmy. I suspect it wouldn't be that high

Fwiw, Messeger does have e2e encryption, just opt in only afaik. Whether or not you trust meta with that is another matter, but it is there.

Was eyeing this for a little bit but this post might be the one that makes me buy it

If you can work through all of the weird issues it works great, but it can definitely be finicky to setup for some people. Im in an apartment and the wifi in 5ghz range is so congested i had stuttering every few seconds. Had to switch to use DFS and it was super smooth after that.

Not sure of others having been having issues with steam save file cloud sync but it seems like every other time i try to start the game it hangs on syncing errors. Wonder if it's just me or maybe a bunch of people due to the larger than expected concurrent player number.

How did you feel it was different from the first time around ? Ive been meaning to pay it a second time but haven't quite took the leap yet.

Im not familiar with the lemmy source code but i would imagine it would batch fetch comments all at once with one api call (or maybe a few if the thread is big enough). Fewer api calls is less load on a lemmy server, less chance that any one of the calls them fails, etc. At least, if i wrote lemmy id i would do something like that.

Is this something thats actually in the reddit ranking system. I.e reddit will activly push posts/comments from high karma accounts higher? Or just that high karma accounts tend to get more upvotes, etc ?

Yeah id imagine once you get to hundreds of comments it can be hard to count. But, for example, Wefwef (https://wefwef.app/) will count up the "comment score" on someones profile and show it. Id imagine others might do the same.

Im no tree expert, but if its japan, it might be a camphor tree ? The way the branchs are angled looks similar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camphora_officinarum

Certain [camphor] trees in Japan are considered sacred. An example of the importance of a sacred tree is the 700-year old camphor growing in the middle of Kayashima Station. Locals protested against moving the tree when the railway station had to be expanded, so the station was built around

Sucks that you couldnt get it working yet, but there are bound to be problems at this scale.

Anyone have any resources for learning what running a lemmy server is like ? Seems pretty interesting

Go lemmy, cant wait for sync for lemmy to come out too!
