Hah! I didn’t even notice. Debo wasn’t available on Reddit 15+ years ago when I joined so I actually added the “re”. It took the rise of Lemmy for me to use my preferred nick. :)
That’s my bike.

lol. I’m the one who coined the term after Wadsworth came up with the concept!
Compared to what? A flat rate?
It’s like they took 32 individual interior design students, put them in a blender, then sprayed them in separate rooms.
There’s some new research that shows raising pay is not great for retention. Studies say it’s better to take that money and put it into a long-term benefit line a pension, profit sharing, while life insurance with a cash out value, etc.
Raises and bonuses had about a 3-month effect.
How much power are you consuming in the closet?
Anyone message Ruud yet?!?
The tumeric rice hits.
Triple S is sus.

It depends. Close connections of subject matter experts when discussing technical topics? Sure. When doing general research or looking for alternate solutions for something, you need mass. The difficulty of onboarding users into a federated environment hinders this.
Look, as long as I don’t have to remember both a community AND a server name, I’m good. I just don’t want to hav to remember and / or subscribe to multiple things with the exact same name.
Yeah, but not really. You couldn’t create r/Doug twice. You could create r/Dougs or r/Dougie, but not two r/Doug. Here, you can create a “Doug” for every server that exists.
I have hope for solutions though. There’s only about 8,000 active subreddits in total. The cream will rise to the top quickly and we’ll all get used to subscribing to the ‘top 3 or 4’ “Doug” communities and I’m sure the apps developed for Lemmy will ‘combine’ those behind the scenes for a smoother user experience.
I didn’t even know browse.feddit.de existed until you posted it!!! Hot tip right there. :)
Yes, but the problem is that your analogy isn’t a 1-2-1 comparison. You are correct that at reddit we had r/tech, r/technology, r/technews, etc etc etc, but on lemmy, ALL OF THOSE can be named “Technology” with exactly the same spelling. So, when I’m trying to refer someone to a “specific” Technology, I also have to include the server. A conversation may go, “Hey WooChoo, you gotta check out the posts over on Lemmy. They have the best Technology content on the internet” Then you go to some rando “Technology” on a new lemmy server and you don’t see any posts. What are the chances that you come back to me and say, “Hey Debo, remember that referral you gave me 6 weeks ago when we were talking? I went there and there wasn’t any users.” "Oh, sorry WooChoo, I forgot that you have to go to “THIS SPECIFIC SERVER of Technology” and then you’re in a federation conversation when you were just trying to share a hot tip.
Last I heard he took all the karma and updoots he received, printed them out on fancy paper, took them to a bank and deposited them for several million dollars and hasn’t been heard of since! ;)
What have I done…
It became the post of the year on Reddit that year. I bump into it from time to time in the interwebz. :)
