Oh man it really is too. I spent the better part of a day trying to find a good instance to join to post and I couldn’t figure out the various keywords and stuff; every time I thought I found a fit it was basically the opposite of what I needed. Then I gave up and stopped even wanting to do it.

"you know how when a corner shop closes in town, you're still able to go to a different store, but if safeway has driven all the other stores out of business and then shuts down you'll fucking starve to death?"

As I mentioned (and you listed) growth has its pros, but the troll is basically going "growth good EDIT WOW THANKS FOR LE GOLD KIND STRANGER!". And in Reddit's case (relevant because the troll is comparing both platforms), if anything the excessive growth already led to problems.

But you are here all the same. We appreciate you!

A little pain in exchange for longtime gain?

Oh no, TIL that the Fediverse is "exercise" - no wonder most Westerners avoid us! 🤪

"Choose an instance that provides monthly reports, including finances, such as !home@lemmy.zip"

Tbf, PieFed's categories of communities and user-customizeable and shareable Feeds greatly simplify the UX in working with communities (ironically more so on a mobile than desktop, surely an oversight that will be fixed soon).

watching and participating in the boomerification of millenials (in regards to lack of tech literacy/ competance) is quite upsetting.

Lolz "gold", that takes me back. Also AL1 CAPES SETNENCES R AWLAYS TEH BESTE W4Y TOO CONMUMICATE EVERAH PIONT (and if I spelled everyanything correctly there, then I did something wrong!)

I already forgot what the troll said, intentionally as it is irrelevant

It's crazy to me that whatever program you used to make that account on that server didn't automatically force a backup location on the same device where the account is used. On Android, some folder. On desktop, some folder. And it's crazy to me that we can't just import all of our votes, comments, and posts in that backup to another account on the same device or another.

That is a terrible system. No answers from me. Just questions

Lemmy Explorer

Instance and Community Explorer for Lemmy

(lemmyverse.net)

Type a word for something you might be interested in, and if there's a community it should come up there. The main problem is still that the fediverse doesn't have enough people to support niche (or even kinda niche) interests yet

Yeah I join two neither are great. And unlike here you can't see anything outside your instance. Guess I will keep posting to YouTube until they get their shit together.

This is exactly what happens with Churches. Someone starts a "hip" new church plant. Everyone leaves the local long-established churches. Long established churches shut down. Church plant falls apart because the guy starting it doesn't know what he's doing. No Church.

Lemmy isn't too hard, it's just annoying at times. Like when your instance hasn't downloaded the content of a given community and it just looks empty until you subscribe to it.

I was struggling so hard to find the original post, finally found it over on aussie.zone and then I saw that it was a lemmy.world post, an instance I've blocked on my local instance, feddit.dk. Stuff like that is what makes lemmy a bit confusing haha

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

I'm still mad at the 196 mods for causing even more 196 commies to be made for me to block.

Isn’t moe the bartender in the simpsons?

Wow, so that's how it works. I signed up to a couple because they interested me and hoped in the future something would be posted, or I would, and then saw a heap of posts.

It wasn't dark magic after all. Perhaps it was psionics?

3 legged dung beetle jump racing isn't niche!
