We've made it as a platform, we're getting ads disguised as real posts.

It's 2010 all over again. We all used Digg and reddit was mostly for the techies. But as Digg kept digging its heels in, reddit become more and more palatable over time. Eventually it reached a critical mass and we all jumped ship and never looked back.

Come visit Crimea! A beautiful coastal paradise where you can wait in huge traffic jams to drive over a bridge that could explode! And while you sit on the beach you can watch your fellow countrymen get smoked by storm-shadows. You may have to evacuate at any time!

Well they're either an idiot or insane, but there's probably not a good prognosis for them.

I subscribe to nebula for this reason, directly support creators and it's very reasonably priced.

A one-day minor downtick isn't a trend when it's been up day-over-day for a while now. I'm sure the user counts will ebb and flow over time, but as long as the community stays healthy and the big social media companies keep being greedy, I think this platform has a good shot at long-term viability.

Its dumb, but whenever someone mentions peaches I always hit them with "I could eat peaches for hours". An obscure line from Face Off but for whatever reason it's stuck in my head over all these years. No one ever gets the reference.

I typically use sportsurge.net

Yeah this is what I do. My subscribed feed is all news and discussion (and good discussion at that!), and then I go to All to see the memes. I first I subscribed to a meme community or two and it dominated my feed.

Go to the community page and hit the "Block Community" button.

It's hard. People tend to settle into their routines and go through the motions of they're life - people are no longer thrust into new stages of life together (high school / college / start of career). That being said, people still make time for their hobbies, and are typically very excited to meet other people who share the same interests and hobbies as them. Find a hobby or activity that you like, or think you might like, and find some local groups that do that thing. Could be hiking, gardening, sewing, rock climbing, whatever! Just find a local group of people and give it a shot. Friendships can happen naturally from that. Some will be more acquaintances, but as you get to meet more people it becomes more likely that some of them will stand out as true friends.

You can also install the PWA from your browser. Go to lemmy on your mobile browser, go to your browser menu, and click install.

The fact that this is still online is awesome.

For browsing while pooping. Or, in Lemmy's case, browsing while trying not to poop.

Yeah, imagine that giant cock just singing to you.

I would add to this that its not just the fediverse, anything you put on the internet should be assumed to be public and non-deletable. Even with GDPR and everything, if the host deletes everything there could dtill be backups, archives, or some random person, corporation, or government could backup everything. Use secure services like signal for things you want to be private and just assume everything else could be public forever.

This Service has an "Active Past Month" option.

Thanks for the context, CIA man.

Nah no worries, but it's good to always be suspect of these posts.

This Wikipedia page honestly has some of the best climate change graphics I've seen anywhere. They're simple, fact-based, concise and paint a pretty obvious and telling picture.

Federation doesn't happen immediately, the syncs could be happening at a little bit different times across the different instances. Not enough to make any major differences in the content you're seeing or interacting with, but probably enough to make the 1:1 comparison not line up.

Bless the maker and his water

A pint of sweat saves a gallon of blood

I was interested about this game by the article, but what is FACEIT?

I have a 15 year old laser brother printer that is still humming along, I think I've replaced the toner twice in that time (I'm not a frequent printer). Going forward it's the only brand I'll buy.

I bet you got so much pussy wearing that.

My dog is your dog's doppleganger.

This isn't funny, I've reported this guy to Lemmy. Why do people keep up voting him?

Or trying to make one on the beach in Fiji with a partner or a local.

Yeah works fine for me too

Well shit...you're right.

Is there a place I can read more about the horizontal scaling issues lemmy has?

Make sure to boil ALL water first before doing this to avoid brain eating amoeba.

Oh most definitely. It makes everyone feel awkward, and that's the point.

What the fuck year is this meme from

Just buy poo-pourri and take a poo my guy. N one will know.

I've been using Jerboa but just tried this and it works pretty well too!

Yeah it sucks

Your history would still be out there in the fediverse, but you'd no longer have access to your account to interact with it.

As someone who landed on the lemmy side, I'm glad that choosing a side here didn't l doesn't have to fracture the community. You can pick the experience you enjoy best but still have scess to a broader universe of content.
