Those all caps you're using are cruiser control. The ones used in Reddit are to show excitement. Get excited for the product, "wow" /s.

Derp. ...it's the sensible thing to do here, I know.

I still don't fully understand what Fediverse and instance means.

I still don't fully understand what Fediverse and instance means.
Fediverse = universe of federated instances.
Federation = many entities connected together and interoperating, etc
Instance: every individual Lemmy site with its own domain name runs an instance (a running copy of the software) on its server.
Those servers are talking to each other so users on one can talk to users on another server. That's federation.

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.
I could've sworn it was because young folk were disenamored with preachers and churches who are nothing more than whited sepulchres but what could I know

Which is why I don't use the small private instance a friend is running. I want All to contain stuff I don't normally look at.
That's why I always click on the recommended communities when I've got a few minutes

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
Doing that requires content addressing. It's what atproto is built around (bluesky's protocol) but nobody's made a proper forum variant of it yet

Good ass. It's not perfect but it respects your boundaries, tries its damnedest, down for any fetish/kink, there when you fall asleep and when you wake up.

I still don't fully understand what Fediverse and instance means.
The Fediverse is like a country, and an instance is like a town connected to the other towns in that country. You're free to travel, visit, and interact with people in all the other towns that have their roads connected.
Each town has its own rules and culture, but they generally get along with all the other towns in the country. You can even choose to build your own town with your own rules and have a road connected to the rest.
On the other hand places like Facebook or Twitter are like huge, walled cities where you can only interact with people inside that city. They also claim the rights to all of your data to sell off.

Cool, kinda makes sense. Still don't understand what the federated / defederated stuff that was all the talk yesterday. But I got a slightly more nuanced understanding. Thanks homie

Tbf you are dependent on all because most channels are dead/very slow.

I love great analogies.

But, after all that it's still better than Reddit.
Typical Fediverse take.

what a weird take. if anything, the church is the safeway and this happened hundreds of years ago. churches are basically macdonaldses already; all franchisees of the same central entity.

Leaving out our boy Stamets and Flying Squid (on hiatus IIRC) smh

I followed reddit sync over to lemmy. I didn't know how anything works but my experience has been roughly the same as it was with Reddit. I like the discussion here more though.

I actually saw an ad for Lemmy on reddit and here I am. Figuring out enough to make an account was worth it. They should do more ads.. or maybe not. We don't want too many of them coming here. Im still trying to cleanse my brain of the juice I drank.

Which ui? The slrn style ncurses client that I don't know if it exists or something else?
