Lemmings, why do you think Lemmy is better than Reddit?

    The top comment of this post would be some reposted for the 8000th time "inside joke" on reddit. For me, it didn't matter what the post was about, every comment section was the same. It was especially frustrating when the post itself encouraged conversation and the top comment would be completely off topic.

    I also think the wii version was better than the switch version but they’re both awesome games. I also had no idea people didn’t like NSMB for switch until the announcement trailer for Wonder dropped. But for someone who’s first Mario game was Super Mario Bros 3, that whole series/style of gameplay will forever be what Mario is to me.

    You're banning someone from a community called "Controversial" where the rules state, "This is not a safe place" and "Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own" because you disagree with them. In a post where you claim that defederating is censorship.

    I don't know if you're trolling with this post or not but that is way too funny!

    One server defederating from another is not a case of denying you from reading other people. You have the ability to join another server or make your own. You can even view content without an account. If I invited you into my house and you asked to watch a show on Netflix and I deny you, I am not preventing you from watching Netflix. I’m just not putting it on in my house. You can go home and watch Netflix.

    The great thing about Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse is not that they are all federated, but that you can find a server that blocks what you don't want to see. You can also create your own server for that purpose.

    I’ll never forget I got this game around when it came out, which made me about 11. For some reason I was too stupid to realize this was a horror game based on the name and cover. I just read, “First Encounter Assault Recon”. The first jump scare had me panic unplug my ps2. I later worked up the courage to beat the whole game, which ended up being one of my favorite gaming experiences and got me into the horror genre. I go back and play through every few years on GoG.

    Just made this for dinner with my girlfriend. Very easy, cheap, and most importantly delicious! Made some on the fly adjustments to the recipe (who doesn't), so it didn't turnout as photogenic as the pictures in the article, but overall 10/10. Anyone can make this. Thanks for the post!

    I was referring to low admin interest. For example if you did allow a few users on your server, then you grew bored of it and shut it down, they would lose access to their accounts. But running a server just for yourself honestly sounds like the best option if you have the money for it.

    NSFW friendly content is a big factor for sure. I've seen a few complaints about hiding nsfw content not working too well, so it seems many servers are totally against it. I hope that gets straightened out soon.

    I only have one lemmy account right now, but I'm definitely open to trying out other instances, I'm just not sure what the point is as long as you're not stuck on one that has been blocked by several others. I've subscribed to many communities across several instances. It seems to me aside from making sure you don't end up on a blocked server, you just want to make sure you pick a server that is in it for the long haul. From what I can tell you're also on sh.itjust.works, but have you tried making an account on any other servers?

    Good point, I expect things to look very different a year from now. I'm honestly not sure if it will continue to grow or if its just a fad. I hope for the former.

    I hadn't considered making my own instance for private use. Not sure if that was what you meant or not. But it may be the safest way of ensuring your data doesn't get lost. My worry with small servers is that who ever is running them might lose interest and shut down permanently. But if a server is too big, there may be disagreements that lead to de-federating. Thanks for the tips.

    My main worry with smaller servers is that whoever is running them may lose interest and decide to shut down permanently. It does seem that the pros and cons tip in either direction as a server's population grows.

  • After spending a few days learning about lemmy and other fediverse websites, I was curious about people's processes for picking a server that is right for them. I've seen most posts say to pick one that is not too big or small and that has similar interests as yourself. But if we are all mostly federated, doesn't it make the most sense to join the biggest or likeliest server to stay around and federated with the most other servers? Then you can just travel to the instances you share interests in. I chose this instance because you could just sign up and be in it, and that was all I needed to check things out. And although I found many communities in other instances, even if let's say all of my subscribed communities are on other instances, doesn't it make sense to just stay here so long as they are federated with sh.itjust.works? It may be too early to know for sure, but it seems like this instance is going to stick around for the foreseeable future, why risk joining the smaller instances that might not be here for long. Also, if you have subscribed communities in several instances, I assume you have to follow all the different server's rules. I'd be curious to hear other people's thoughts in regards to picking a home instance. Edit: Are there any restrictions to interacting with communities on other instances?

    While I personally don't care to use them myself, they generally don't ruin my reading experience unless its obvious spam. However, I have heard that they are the enemy of people who rely on screen readers. Screen readers will say something like "Tongue sticking out emoji". So depending on where they are placed in text it can probably be really difficult to read things.
