Ahh yes this is one of my favorite quotes and one I think about a lot.
haxNode - Caught with malware
mentioned in FMHY’s unsafe list
looking at the app it seems it’s launched with just local content feed with a promise of being mastodon compatible in the future. I guess specifically to generate some unqiue content so people join.
the brand and million of dollars for ads. They’ll push it as the main hub to browse mastodon content and then slowly try to make it a walled garden.
Password managers are as important as adblockers in this day and age imo
for personal use, main reasons are you won’t have to worry about instance admins making arbitrary decisions that you don’t agree with, and no worries about server overload or downtime.
for making an instance for public, helping fediverse become a more viable alternative by spreading the load over more instances and helping it grow.
There’s https://redditle.com/ if you just want reddit results. I’ve had it bookamrked and find it pretty useful.
Top of all time post on lemmy is now about beans.

Sounds straight from a black mirror episode.
comments and upvotes work similarly in the fact that only users from federated instances will show up.
But also yes there is a short delay before comments sync in general too aside from the above fact.
For upvotes it only shows upvotes from the instances your home instance is federated with, so for a smaller instance there’s a chance it has not the same big federation list as some more popular instances and thus show smaller upvote count.
The beehaw and world defederation (which I assume you are referencing) is temporary because beehaw believes the increased traffic cannot be moderated without proper mod tools.
And while you’re right about mainstream things like gaming or technology won’t have a single main community, I feel more niche communities will be able to setup their main communities. Obviouly that’s just my opinion, but there are some signs of that happening already. (c/piracy for example)
As time goes one community will emerge as the main one while other would dry up and naturally become obsolete (until people get angry with the mods of main one and start looking for alternative community, similar to how there are r/truegaming, r/true(x) etc for popular subreddits.)
There are many open PRs on lemmy github on how to aggregate similar communities. For example there is a suggestion of making an auto multireddit like thing, m/gaming for example, that would merge posts from every c/gaming community (not sure how this would work with defederation and stuff). With enough demand, something like that can be added to lemmy by an experienced dev.
Right now the best way is to search from inside a lemmy instance itself. lemmy search finds much better results than what native reddit search used to give.
None of the reddit apps using the api will have nsfw content so I wonder if they are even worth it at that point.
Criticizing and mentioning flaws of a system doesn’t automatically make a person against the system.
Accepting the current flaws and then working on their solutions is the way to make Lemmy better for everyone.
There’s a non-english section in fmhy wiki: https://fmhy.pages.dev/non-english/#hindi
While the other recommendation in the thread are good, I think they are hard to implement things that will take time.
A quick fix solution can be to add a button on join-lemmy which says something like ‘Confused on where to join? click to join a recommended instance’ that redirects to the sign-up of one of the recommended instances (there is already a list).
This will allow for load balancing and easier time for people to just come and join.
It’s an interesting thing to ponder and my opinion is that like many other things in life something being ‘OC’ is a spectrum rather than a binary thing.
If I apply a B&W filter on an image is that OC? Obviously not
But what if I make an artwork that’s formed by hundreds of smaller artworks, like this example? This definitely deserves the OC tag
AI art is also somewhere in that spectrum and even then it changes depending on how AI was used to make the art. Each person has a different line on the spectrum where things transition from non OC to OC, so the answer to this would be different for everyone.
