Indeed. This definitely deserves some attention and following to get archived in !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.

I use Arch (btw). It’s not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i’m just used to it by now.

(that’s my personal laptop, the computers in my offices are either Debian or Ubuntu)

Is Latin America not the western world?

We have too much melanin to join the club.

i went regional for a friendly region in my main language. It has a comunity for pudus which gives it extra points tbh. !pudu@feddit.cl if interested.

We have a huge issue with misinformation and this actually helps resolve it.

I’m not really sure about that. Bad SEO is something that still exists, and with huge sites like Reddit gone, the bad SEO sites become more prominent which is not necessarily the site with actual articles and sources.

Of course the solution to this is not reddit back but stopping SEO and having better curation of sites in search engines somehow.

All in all it’s also a testament of how bad internet is now. All the information is concentrated in few sites that, if gone, gets lost.

Both Vim and Git really clicked with me when I had to revise and rewrite a paper. Sure, my graphic editor could do most things, but it really felt comfortable and quick on vim. I now use it for all my text editing, but that was my click moment.

Really. It makes no sense.

They’re not really my cup of tea so I usually dont try them. The only two battle Royale games i enjoyed though are Tetris 99 and Super Mario 35.

I believe browser.feddit.de is not a Lemmy instance per sé (feddit.de is a Lemmy instance) but scrapes basic data from them (communities, subscribers, posts). As I don’t know anything about it’s back-end I cannot tell exactly how it works.

What I know it’s that there is a set of instances it knows (i don’t know how it gets them, probably a list?), and those are the ones it searches for communities. You can even choose for it not to show you communities from some instances by unselecting those instances in the up-left menu.

So my guess is that if an instance is not known by browser.feddit.de their communities will not be shown there. Those are probably private instances that may not be connected to the fediverse anyway.

It’s the most valuable for me for sure, and I love everything about it. They’re back but currently restricted. I’m really curious about what is their next step.

Not exactly force. It’s by design. Instances don’t federate with each other unless a user of one wants to communicate with the other (via subscription, or commenting, or whatever).

But instances can block each other and if that happens, there’s no way you can access from your instance.

What usually happens is that big instances (like lemmy.ml), just by the mere fact that they are big, are probably already federating with your instance anyway so you may not have encountered this situation.

Step 6 will return you a 404 - comunity non existent if your instance is not federating with the instance of the community you’re looking for.

I do:

1. Step 1.

2. Copy the URL

3. In my instance, I use the search fuction. I search for the URL. The community is one result.

4. enter the result, the instance has begun federating.

5. subscribe.

I am just waiting on r/askhistorians. Whatever they do next I will follow.

edit: i should clarify that if they decide to stay on reddit, then probably my reddit user will become an askhistorians lurker.

in the search tool of your instance enter !risa@startrek.website and it will find it and start federating it.

That’s true and I added it later by an edit in my original post which appears not to have synchronized to Beehaw yet. I wholeheartedly agree with the final paragraph of that post.

(Some) Lemmy devs seem to have political ideologies that are within the “tankie” settings. That’s mostly it. Some people express they feel uncomfortable about it. Such devs hold an instance separate from the flagship instance (lemmygrad.ml), which in my opinion is not bad at all, I think it’s better they keep them to themselves giving an option to other instances to block it. They’re not trying to shove tankies ideas down anyones throats or anything.

It will definitely is a hard to find hard to grow. So far federation and different instances might make redundant communities, but I think these will naturally tend to merge/go inactive in time.

This browser of communities https://browse.feddit.de/ is a godsend to find communities I may like. Though it’s all centered in Lemmy and I want a similar tool for kbin (or this browser to add kbin instances communities).
