I used to stare at the sun when I was a kid. Now I have visual snow syndrome. Don’t know if it’s related, but sunlight for long periods of time definitely aggrevates it.

I think we don’t for now. I think we just have to accept we might have to change instances once in a while, especially while things settle.

I agree, they don’t deserve to be one of the popular instances. They gathered a large userbase and just isolated it. If they wanted to be some special safe space, they should’ve specified that in the beginning instead of overcomplicating everything the way they did. People keep saying it’s their choice, and it is, but in the same way it’s Reddit’s choice to kill off 3rd party apps.

If you go to the next page, it stops doing that. Also doesn’t do it on the Jerboa app.

It seems like a win but tech-literate is not equal to smart. Let’s say we want advice about cars. Now all the older mechanics who are very smart and technical with cars but not as much with computers won’t bring their expertise here. I really want Lemmy to take off. I think it is a good replacement for the scrolling and time-wasting that Reddit provides but I’m worried it will never be a useful resource the same way Reddit is. I think a lot would need to change for that to happen.

So we can interact with any software in the fediverse?

So is it not really like a Zelda game at all? I’ve never played it but I read recently that there are no dungeons.

Same reason I hated Dark Souls 2. I felt like I spent more time walking back to the boss battles after every attempt. For such a popular game you think they would at least learn to add checkpoints before bosses.

So does that mean that any thread in the fediverse can be shared together? Or is kbin another Lemmy instance? I thought we could only look at other Lemmy instances.

I feel like subreddit moderators dropped the ball here. They all could’ve made Lemmy communities and linked the subreddits there so everything could’ve just continued as normal but on Lemmy instead. I’m wondering why none of them did that. Do they actually think Reddit will revert the changes and go back to normal?

But one thing to consider is how divided it would be. Let’s say I wanted to browse martial arts so I go to #martialarts. Now what about people adding stuff like #MMA or #karate. None of these would show up in #martialarts. Seems like hashtags would be even more divided than communities to me

Are you comnected to one of the more popular instances? Mine was the same way until I switched.
