Ignorance is bliss

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.
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
Staments is on a Wierd cringe streak as of recently.

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.

yeah, the ui is a total ass, but its fun
Which ui? The slrn style ncurses client that I don't know if it exists or something else?

I don't understand why sometimes when I click on asklemmy at the top of the old.lemmy.world ui, sometimes it goes to regular asklemmy and sometimes it goes to asklemmy@lemmy.ml. And I don't understand why these two communities have completely different posts.

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
An instance is literally just someone's computer with the software running. All your stuff lives on someone's computer. Different computers can talk to one another to allow people who put their stuff on those computers to see each other's stuff (federate) or they decide not to, like cutting off a computer with a lot of batshit insane people (defederate). They're running the same software so the language is the same. Like your stuff lives on lemmy.today, I don't know where and who owns that computer, while my stuff lives on sopuli.xyz, which is a computer that is owned by some random Finn, but those computers talk to one another, so we get to talk to one another.

Oh no I don't know how to choose a server and sign up, in fact I appear to not know anything at all.
- some end user
I swear to fucking god, when I become an end user, please shoot me in the head alright? I don't want to look like the biggest fucking moron on earth to anybody that is able to Google and read something for like 30 seconds.

Would love a "subbed" category too, nether all nor local nor front-page does that ??!

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.
I already forgot what the troll said, intentionally as it is irrelevant
Derp. ...it's the sensible thing to do here, I know.
We have our own kind of fun don't we?:-D

What's that central entity?

I do have a subscribed category both in Sync for Lemmy, and the website.
-
What's that central entity?
in the uk? the anglican church. generally in the west? whatever lutheran, protestant, or catholic denomination is approved by the state. generally? the main church of that country, which for most of them is in a 90/10 sort of situation, with some notable exceptions, like the us, which shouldn't be counted because a) it's such a small part of the world's population and b) their view of religion is so screwed up that it doesnt compare to anything.

You mean like a server? I hope it's not just Joe blows laptop with a cracked screen and bulging battery.
So federated is basically "you're allowed to post shit" within this list of other server?
If that's it then thank you, it makes a lot more sense now.

A server isn't necessarily all that meaningfully different from Joe's laptop, it's just that Joe's laptop isn't exactly practical for running big things. My website runs on a real server, but it doesn't really act much different from a computer I have in my living room when I remotely log into it, I can access all the same files, run all the same software if I wanted to.
Federated is just jargon for "the posts and comments from here will display over there too because my computer knows yours exists and runs the same software and the software does the legwork of meshing all of that shit together with mine"

I use connect and for me "frontpage" is "subbed"

Anglicanism only makes up a portion of British Churches. There are also Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Methodist and various independent congregational churches.
Only Roman Catholicism is truly centralised at a pope. Anglicanism tends to stop at the Archbishop or the Primate. Which the UK has four. The Episcopal Church of Scotland, the Church in Wales, the Church of England and the Church of Ireland which also operates in the Republic of Ireland, but the majority of adherents are in Northern Ireland.

After you block a few hundred groups of anime and nonsense it’s surprisingly enjoyable.
i just blocked lemmy.world and my feed is immediately 20x better
