Let’s go for a walk in the park - they just cleaned the algae tanks!

Pretty good intro for absolute beginners here…

If average comments/post is lowest on .ml, medium on .world and highest on hexbear, it might correlate those instances with post meaningfulness, or with the innate tendency of their users to comment. Or with both, or some other thing entirely. All I can really say about it is, “Huh, interesting.” Not interesting because it leads to any particular conclusion, but interesting that there’s a pattern.

My sidebar correctly says I’ve joined.

Thanks, when I hit that link it shows the page and says “No posts”. Thanks for all your help though! Commenting on that post wasn’t a big deal, I just wondered how the system works. I guess sometimes it sometimes sh.itdoesn’t.work lol.

Thanks, english and undetermined are both enabled.

Interesting. When I search for “white” the “People Twitter” community on sh.itjust.works does not come up. Also doesn’t if I search for “Twitter”. Note that the results include communities on other instances, but not sh.itjust.works. No idea why my search and your search would be different.

Yes I get the principle, I’m just having trouble with the mechanics, but not quite “just as easily” - posting or commenting in a community hosted on sh.itjust.works seems to require remote-subscribing to the community from lemmy.world - which I’ve done and it’s now pending. Waiting to see if that does the trick.

Makes sense and I appreciate the help. But when I go to the post link on sh.itjust.works it says:

I’m currently logged in to lemmy.world, but apparently I do need to login sh.itjust.works. This is how I thought lemmy worked, but I also thought the content from sh.itjust.works would be repeated on lemmy.world as you described, and I would be able to find it here and comment. But the whitepeopletwitter community on lemmy.world is pretty empty and that post isn’t there. Does this mean something’s wrong, or maybe lemmy.world has muted that community, or some other explanation? Just trying to figure all this out.

Edit: I rethought what you said and found where I can remote-subscribe to the community on sh.itjust.works. It says subscription pending. I will give it a while to get processed and see if this solves the problem. Again, I appreciate your help!

How could the_picard_maneuver@lemmy.world post to sh.itjust.works? They would have to login to sh.itjust.works. I’m not able to login there as lovablesidekick or lovablesidekick@lemmy.world.

Likewise, if you’re originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com how are you replying to my comment on lemmy.world without logging into lemmy.world?

Beats me what anybody would get out of vote manipulation on lemmy - there are no sponsors, no money involved AFAIK. What’s the payoff, upvotes?

I think any app for text input should have word prediction. It’s mostly for phone users but I’ve found it so handy since getting a phone where it’s well implemented (Pixel 8) I’ve quickly come to think of it as an essential component that should be available to any app.

Thanks, I’ll lookup pfSense. But straightforward host mapping has worked for me in the past with this router and others. It worked great on my old Cisco DSL router 25 years ago. So simple and straightforward, it should just freaking work. sigh

When somebody says they “just” reverse the polarity of the navigational deflector array and channel power directly from the warp core.

I can’t even get host mapping to work on my Centurylink router - the name is defined for the IP address but nothing else on my network can browse to it by name, only by IP. - software dev who has never understood networking.

Sounds more like a Showerthought, but I’m going to allow it.

My guess is someone is afraid thinking about this content might threaten their politics.

Dammit, my friend just said he would give me access to his file server, all I have to do is install Plex. Presumably this announcement means that will become impossible without a subscription.

I guess some people get off on go team go, but to me looking at market share is very corporate thinking. If lemmy is better than reddit (which I think it is) it will just naturally grow, which is great. Whet I’m cheering for is that developers of federated platforms are slowly taking social media away from the business world by doing it better for free - whether that turns out to be lemmy or some other software.

When I run out of the solar system I’m going to move on to Star Wars.

I’ve named my last few computers after planets, with disks named after moons.

When I worked at Microsoft they had all kinds of clusters - OurGang with Spanky, Darla, Alfalfa… Addams with Gomez etc, Disney with Mickey, etc.
