Very cute! The grooming must be a task.

This might be the wrong place for this question, but I have heard criticism that real rust programs contain lots of unsafe code. Is this true?

Sounds like they lucked out into an awesome job with no real work required.

Sorry that’s the European version I only upvote the American version of the can.

Do you know where this post is when it’s time to pay up?

This sounds like a bug to me. At a minimum, it should be renamed to local subscribers rather than imply that it’s the total count.

This is definitely a sink-or-swim moment for Lemmy. If this is going to work, this is the chance. Twitter and Reddit are imploding. Users have a reason to try something new and are willing to deal with young, buggy platforms because it’s better than the alternative and they needed an Internet home. My upvote taking ten seconds to register is itself the knife’s edge of creation, a new birth.

Just not using the app is better than using the app.

I think that the problem you describe is self-limiting because users can easily make accounts to get around an instance that limits the content users can view or just add an account for a more permissive instance. However, consider the following: humans tend to fixate on loss, and users aren’t tied down to using any particular instance or even just one, so they don’t have to compromise. You don’t lose anything by adding another account on another instance to your client. There are already clients that let you pull from multiple instances automatically.

Defederation that hurts users, by the judgment of those users, on a platform where it’s easy for your users to just join any other competing instances on a whim, tends to select against instances that defederate excessively. That is my hope.

So often I’ve pulled up my phone while it’s connected just to try looking up a destination while I’m parked. Being forced to use only the car interface for Maps while plugged in has always been awkward.

Shame that my single USB port that supports Auto is wearing out! Soon I’ll be reduced to Bluetooth only, and maybe a mount for the phone to keep the screen in arm’s reach without having to look away from the road.

It is annoying, but at least it makes sense considering the few orders of magnitude growth they’ve experienced in two days and given that we are not the customer nor the product. Nobody is making money from this. Instead, we are benefiting from the generosity of those who host the service, much like Wikipedia.

But it’s Unix-like!

Uses a Linux VM for all the assignments anyway.

Underrated comment. I picked it because I had no idea what I was doing and it sounded all-encompassing and I wanted access to everything. I didn’t even know what an instance was. I just picked it because it sounded like a good guess to get access to all of Lemmy.

I noticed that I don’t have a karma or upvote counter for my account, and I felt free. Let’s keep it that way. It just encourages more ego and skin in the discussion ahead of focusing on the content and further penalizes users who sometimes have an unpopular, but still civil and constructive, opinion. I don’t want an echo chamber effect.

I imagine that implementing such a metric could become quite confusing if it turned out that not all instances permitted all communities in the future. If this is already the case, please excuse me. I’ve been on Lemmy for one hour total. Solving that consistency problem couldn’t be easier than just not solving it.

Happy to be part of the sudden stress test of your software and infrastructure! June 30 hit and I needed a place to go. Found Lemmy. Found Connect for Lemmy. I don’t know if this is the future for a Reddit-like service, but I’m pleased to see some real activity and I’m glad to be a part.
