The difference between .17 and .18 is pretty substantial. Lemmy.world neglected to update to .18 because captcha support was not working for new account signups, so they waited for v0.18.1

There should be substantial performance improvements because it moves Lemmy from using websocket to HTTP API.
There are lots of other fixes and things, but that is the most substantial change.
Not at the moment.
There’s an issue for it on GitHub, but it’s unlikely to be implemented: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397
Ha yes.
I may or may not have kids, but this video will stick in my mind forever. If I do, my focus will be on creating that community to surround my kids with people that they can look up to for good role models and hope for the best :D
There was a video about this posted a bit ago. The speaker said basicly this same thing. After the age of 7, the environment that your kid is placed into, and the other people they are around, has for more influence on them that the parents have.
You do your best for the first 7 years, and then you do your best to find the right environment for them for the rest of their lives.
I’d sign up for the PD immediately if they got these :D
I feel like we’re going to end up with a bunch of de-federation drama. I can’t wait for the great de-federation wars.
I’ve been ready to leave Reddit for a long time. I’m not angry at Reddit… It’s more just continued disappointed. The site was built off of effort from the communities but the corporation won’t listen to us for guidance and changes.
The only thing I worry about is that most people won’t even hear of alternatives like Lemmy and that will impact adoption. I fear that only the degenerates and extremests will be the ones to make the changes. I hope that isn’t how it plays out.
I have supported Discord with a nitro subscription for as long as I’ve had an account. It’s a terrific program and there’s no reason to expect premium features for nothing in return. The mentality that everything should be free is why we have so many fucking ad driven online business models and I’m over it. I pay for what I use if it’s a good service.
