  • That is correct. Lemmy.ml is an instance that we’re federated with.

    The premise of how Lemmy works is that there are multiple sites and each site has communities on it. Each of those sites is an instance and when an instance federates with another instance, accounts from either instance and interact with each other.

    Your home account is on Lemmygrad.ml but we’re federated with Lemmy.ml which allows you to interact with their communities, accounts, etc

    When an instance defederates from your home instance (the one you made an account on), you can no longer interact with their instance. An example of this is Lemmy.world

    Things can get confusing quick when you talk about defederating because communities on an instance can block interaction from another instance rather than the whole instance defederating.



  • I remember someone on here talking about this and they linked a couple of videos from a YouTube channel called Asianometry or something that explained the technology.

    I can’t remember which videos they are though but if I recall, the reason for particle collider wafer manufacturing not being mainstream was because of requiring large infrastructure investment per factory.

    It makes sense that China would pursue this as there isn’t as strong a push on profit motive as in somewhere like Taiwan or S. Korea.




  • I’m not really sure how I feel about hydroelectric being classified as renewable. On one hand it doesn’t emit but when you look at projects like the James Bay plant, it’s hard to ignore the massive amount of emissions that went into creating the infrastructure and the permanent impact on the landscape.

    I’d suppose this is kind of off-topic and is more of a question of how renewable hydroelectric power generation is on a project by project basis based on environmental and ecosystem impact.

    Edit: forgot to mention, the impact on indigenous lands as well in many of the colonized countries.
