I imagine we all have different use cases, my idea of Lemmy succeeding may not be your idea.

That being said, as a replacement for Reddit, where I can scroll through the top say 50 posts once or twice a day, it absolutely fits the bill.

Engagement is much better for me here, I imagine due to the smaller size of the community, that lends itself to their being much less useless garbage comments and much more constructive or informative discussion.

The above being said, I do wish there were more people here.

16 is old enough to have taxable income alongside other things in the UK.

Beast master

I was really into He-Man and honestly all things medieval so thought it’d be great for me, but that film kinda fucked me up for a while as a wee one.

I was born the year that the first version of Google was also born.

Quit smoking a few years back, that was an absolute bitch to do.

Still get the feeling every now and then, only ‘relapsed’ once at a funeral.

The amount of people I hear saying “Nitch” instead of “Neesh” when pronouncing it, blows my mind.

No idea where ‘Nitch’ came from, but it has never been pronounced that way.

Predestination

The problem I had with no man’s sky is that a large amount of the out of proportion expectations were a direct result of the developers over promising, rather than consumers just being over hyped.

If it helps, you can just use something else like Lemmy and still access all kbin content, that’s what I’m currently doing.

This is interesting as I have had much the opposite effect. I very rarely see anything Linux related. Though honestly I don’t use Linux so that works just fine for me.

That hacker news bit got me, I won’t lie.

Boost for Lemmy

Absolutely sound logic though.

I only run a small community surrounding my home country, but I only plan on removing things that aren’t directly related to the country or at least adjacent to. As well as anything that is largely irrelevant which I suspect of being spam.

Rest is fine, discussion is healthy. I don’t need to agree with everyone, that isn’t what this is about.

I’m gonna go with no, since I’m reading it perfectly currently.

I do kinda love this name.

Frankly I have absolutely no idea, I would encourage asking if you’re concerned though.

Can’t speak for others, but my decision to stick with lemm.ee stemmed from seeing how active the owner is, the minimal defederation and the bot & moderation policies meaning there are minimal bots, and I’ve yet to currently see much spam issues, which is nice.

Also helps that the owner Sunaurus is an active contributor to the Lemmy project as a whole, so we get patches and fixes relatively quickly.

This was asked in the lemm.ee discord and the answer given is below.

Ping times are low everywhere because the files we serve are hosted on globally distributed servers. So if you’re in North America, you will download the frontend code (and images etc) from a North American server. But the backend is actually hosted in Germany

I translated some stuff in that German blog. It’s kinda wild, vaccination damage and the KGB mixed with more far right conspiracy theories and then just general normal stuff.
