We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That’s going to be fun…

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn’t trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

Not only is Rudd doing and amazing job as admin of the instance, they are also really transparent ab ob it the challenges in their frequent updates!

I see what you mean, but there’s also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.

I don’t think it’s unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.

“Curating” makes it sound like you are some kind of porn connoisseur.

Thank you for your effort in running this instance and also for being so transparent about the whole process.

Thank you Ruben!

It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.

It’s a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.

My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.

In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.

It’s really fun to try out all these different apps.

Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it’s already a pleasure to use.

What you guys over the pond really should learn sometime soon is that free speech doesn’t mean that you can spew any random vile bullshit without repercussions.

In the Fediverse those repercussions are that your audience will be limited to the instance you chose, which honestly considering the content we are talking about is really mild.

Some of the stuff I’ve seen would definitely be illegal in Germany and Austria, and trust me, we have more experience with Nazis than we ever wanted. We have laws in place to at least try to prevent the resurgence of Nazis and this also affects servers like lemmy.world that are hosted at Hetzner in Germany I believe. Not defederating from these people could cause legal repercussions for the server owner and it’s just not worth it, considering the content we are talking about.

I’ve gotten to old and busy to give two shits about someone’s background as long as it’s not pushed in my face.

If I come across racist, homophobic, warmongering, outright Nazi or tankie stuff among many other things, I simply block the person/community and move on with my life.

This is important. Many people (and news outlets for that matter) consider Lemmy a product, when it really is very much an on-going early stage development effort.

It’s amazing how well everything works already, but nothing should be considered stable at this point.

A KÄSLEBERKASSEMMEL BITTE!

What kind of maniac would use a password that’s longer than 60 characters?

I get that password managers are standard now, but anything outside the norm is just asking for trouble. I vividly remember updating a client’s webfrom to reject emojis in passwords, because for some reason people started using them and it wrecked havoc in the backend.

Possibly. However, it would be really interesting to see how many download the official app. Personally, the telemetry and ads are enough to keep me away, but I fully understand people, who say that Lemmy’s content just isn’t there yet.

The nostalgia of the right side is unreal. I kinda miss those simpler times, when all I had to worry about was a potential raid wipe in Icecrown Citadel and getting a bad grade on a math exam in high school.

Maybe consider it a fair warning to keep some of that gore garbage on Reddit.

Holy hell.

I really hate the fact that every good thing that happens will get fucked up by politics and religion in one way or another.

First of all and I mean this as someone new to the platform and genuinely not aware: What first party sources do you have to support your claims? I honestly don’t care about regurgitated comments and stuff like that.

With that out if the way there’s an obvious problem with that idea: Wether you like whatever political or religous views they truly have or not, they are the people actively developing this platform.

Especially in this time where every instance is creaking under the load of new users and bug reports and feature request are at an all-time high, I wouldn’t try to mess with their donations. Developing this platform is a monumental task for a small team of devs and it seems like donations are already pretty scarce from their latest post.

Sure, over time contributions and PRs will increase, as more people get comfortable with the codebase. Still without the core team development may be seriously crippled for a long time.
