And get it has way more upvotes than down, just like reddit.

That’s just not true, a modern home can be at 70f or below when its 110f outside. Air comes out at 50-55 even at those outside temps.

There’s a difference between linguistic simplicity and color blindness.

Is picking a server/federation too complicated?

Yes, but because 90% of the fediverse is older tech nerds, good luck getting them to acknowledge it.

undefined> The Library of Alexandria had many unique works of cultural and scientific importance. YouTube is full of mundane content, mostly entertainment.

Are you serious? The vast majority of culturally significant artifacts were, at the time of their creation, mundane and/or entertainment.

Why male models?

What I’ve seen others recommend, and I think would have helped, is the ability to ‘port’ to another instance. So it can just be “Go create an account at lemmy.ml. Don’t worry about the instance, we can always port later if you want”.

I know now it doesn’t really matter (and have accounts with all the big instances) but I agonized over what instance to join at the beginning because I didn’t KNOW it didn’t really matter.

The ‘port’ ability also seems like something that is just a good idea in general, so I believe that to be the best option (that I’ve seen).

undefined> I disagree that it was harder to sign up for.

You are correct, and I misspoke. By ‘harder to sign up for’ I was referring to not just the actual sign up process, but the steps involved before the actual sign-up process (deciding on an instance, which itself requires learning what ‘instance’ means, as well as at least some research into what federation is, and what the differences are between instances).

I blocked reddit the day they announced the API changes, so no problem there!

Fair enough.

What do you propose? Lemmy is significanly more difficult to understand, sign up for, and use, with far less content than Reddit. And the majority opinion seems to be ‘fuck those kids that don’t understand how to use lemmy, we don’t need them’.

Lemmy is something like .02% the size of reddit

User engagement is important, and karma is one way of driving that engagement. Pretending something’s not important from your high horse because you don’t understand it just makes you look like a spez.

The fuck is a tankie?

Yes. Cold showers are linked to higher white blood cell count, decrease in sick days, decrease depression, better sleep, among others.

At the very least they’re more environmentally friendly and time-saving than regular showers. In my personal experience, I am much less sensitive to short-term temperature changes than others.

Sadly I’m pretty sure it’s full of beheadings, not the fun kind of NSFW. But I’m sure soon enough someone will create a lemmy.porn or something.

Thank you? Is the ! supposed to be working then but just isn’t?

The problem is when 50+ communities all start talking about something pointless Trump or Elon said. I want to be able to hide/block posts by keyword, not community.

Here’s a screenshot of what I get. Am I even in the right place? https://imgur.com/04FfhiC

I did try that, but I still don’t get any results. Is there something else I’m doing wrong? https://imgur.com/04FfhiC
