Well, her name is one letter off of Cries after all.

That’s not entirely true. One of the lead developers of Lemmy almost blocked infinite scrolling being implemented before the other lead developer stepped in and approved it. This can absolutely happen with other features, other features can get blocked.

There’s nothing wrong with having additional optional features through an addon, especially when those features are optional and also don’t have to go through an approval process. That’s the power of addons.

I’m still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.

Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol

When you’re a beginner, it’s both. The further you get into your career, it’s usually imposter syndrome. Then again the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.

The more dumb changes reddit makes, the more people end up here. I love it. I’ve also really been enjoying a bunch of the memes too lol

Don’t forget PEDMAS! lol

BEDMAS says you do multiplication before addition, so it’s 10.

Exactly, they are literally trying to scare people. There is objectively a lower chance of getting your credit card stolen from pirating than getting your credit card stolen from purchasing content legally.

Discord -> Matrix

I think the concept of a for loop is easier to learn, even for non-programmers, as biased as I may be.

Yeah, I’ve heard of people using cron jobs to automatically clean activity older than 3 days.

I’m not sure what can be done about image staking up a lot of space, I imagine that’ll take up a ton of space after a while. Not sure how that could be cleaned up safely.

I wanna look into self-hosting my own Lemmy instance some time. Once I have more time to figure it out with my home network local server w/ public cloud VPS OpenVPN server setup (likely with Docker containers too) I’ll take a look into it. You’re right, it’ll likely be fun and right up my alley too.

That’s why I’m so glad to WFH, it saves both time and energy.

I would also like the binaries.

I wonder if Lemmy would be more popular or less popular if it had karma?

You’re not wrong. I usually ate mine at home and watched TV, it was pretty awesome lol

Though when I was older I started just having lunch in the classroom and then in high school I’d eat lunch at school with a couple friends.

The cool thing is you can just say “what a rip” or “what a ripoff” instead and it won’t have any negative effects

I think a lot of people here are more technical and thus more likely to use or know Linux.

Reddit in a nutshell lmao

Yes! Wanting good things without putting the effort in is kind of normal.

It is, yeah. American healthcare is insanely expensive.

I had something similar happen actually. I do remember when I was in like grade 1 or 2 there were some wild berries, and I thought they looked poisonous so I saw a kid was going to eat some during recess, I told him he probably shouldn’t but he did anyway. I never saw him again. Then again, I never knew who he was to begin with so that might be why.

Yep, pretty much same here. I cut it down to just Spotify and Crunchyroll, and now just Crunchyroll then torrenting/usenet if it’s not on Crunchyroll.

Yeah, there’s a lot of borrow words in Japanese. Napkin is napukin, for example.

Does Lemmy automatically grab all content from all federated servers, or does it only grab the content from communities you (and any other users on the instance) are subscribed to/are actively being visited?

I’m not so sure it does copy all content in the background.

My instance will be for me only, I will be the only person on it and it will be closed for registrations. I won’t be responsible for anyone else’s data on my instance, nothing for me to be concerned about.

By control, I mean I can back up my data and ensure my comments, subscribed communities, messages, etc are all available to me no matter what, I don’t have to rely on some external third-party managing it for me.

I wanna self-host my own instance so I have more control over my data.

The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They’ve become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.
