Much further back… Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The party was founded on anti- slavery. The current party has nothing to do with the original party.

I think while the general communities have made it, a lot of niche communities failed to attract enough population to keep on generating more content. As an example, just search for the “Imaginary” series of landscape art communities on the Fediverse (eg. ImaginaryVistas). Many of them don’t have any recent posts or 1 post per days or weeks. That’s not enough to keep people invested. Even the largest digital art community is still mostly carried by 1 person.

It looks like it could fall over with any gust of wind and kill someone.

Should the instances that responded to you be refederrated? I’m pretty sure I saw some of them on lemmy.world’s block list. I think it would be sad for these small servers to not realize they are, in fact, not connected to the greater fediverse. On the other hand, if you’re an admin, and you don’t know what you’re doing to the point of not knowing your server was infected by hundreds of thousands of bots, maybe it’s too dangerous to refed.

Oh good to know. I guess I only really caught reddit downtimes in the past.

I like how it looks exactly like reddit’s status page, especially considering they just released old.lemmy.world.

The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.

I feel like it would be a bot purge or lemmy.world and several other instances being down from the hacking.

Consider undervolting (via Throttlestop or Intel XTU) to prolong your laptop’s longevity and possibly mildly increase its performance. For the same CPU workload, undervolting will reduce the amount of heat generation and therefore the temperature of the CPU, thereby decreasing the risk of hitting the CPU’s temperature throttling and risk of CPU damage.

There are ready guides on youtube and r/gaminglaptops sub, but I’ll leave reddit links out for now. Just search for your laptop model since the exact values will depend on the model and also on luck. If you’re lucky, you can undervolt a lot without causing instabilities.

1. Do the maneuver @Dadbod89@lemmy.world suggested.

2. Try Flonase. Helps a lot but takes 1-2 weeks to start to work.

3. See a doc if things persist.

That drone live view was pretty nice.

Salt in Coffee.

Just a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.

It’s like catching a nice surf wave.

We really need the lemmy version of a multireddit - some way to group up your subscribed communities into categories. This way you can lasso together all the communities that cover the same topic but were created on different instances. That’s at the basic level.

At the advanced level, I hope someone can come up with an algorithm to merge duplicate posts/news sources/etc together so that it looks like one centralized post, even though it is decentralized on the backend.

This one seems a little more chaotic than some of the previous ones they put out. Looking forward to finding out what the heck is going on!

What a trip. I think I saved this piece in the time before I joined Reddit via the Digg exodus…
