I meant that as an extension to my original comment asking for all communities with the same name from different instances to show up in a mixed feed.

Dr. Evil is a parody of a mastermind Bond villain, which is why he was dumb as a subversion of the trope.

That's a good point. By each being its own server with own own rules and mods, my idea would make it harder on mods of the communities if people are not even aware of where they are posting.

I think how fragmented lemmy is hurts it. I enjoy Mastodon more, because it doesn't matter what server a person uses, you have but a single feed of all the people you follow.

But here on lemmy, every server has its own communities and might even be having the same conversations apart from each other. While reddit is a giant single space for each conversation.

If there was a way to unite feeds so that, for example, /c/gaming gave you posts from every community /c/gaming you are subscribed to or federated with (or /m/gaming for us mbin folks). I think we could really see a proper exodus from reddit as it becomes proper alternative.

and of course, the classic lemmy experience would remain for those that don't want to do that. Much like old.reddit remained strong in the face of the site remake.

EDIT: Maybe what we need instead is multi-reddits. Custom made aggregate feeds made by the user, so you have full control over your aggregated feed. And they don't need to have the same names in that case.

So many villains in fiction are depicted as intelligent, phew, did we ever get that one wrong

That I'm a girl now. Would have blown their mind that it was even possible. But then would have been disappointed in me for not having made a video game yet.

Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

It kinda sounds like Ridley from the GBA Metroid games. I never knew he was a Kiwi, but I guess that's my new head-canon.

You mean bedsores, yeah its a pretty similar cause. The difference is that bedsores only cause damage to the skin from lack of blood flow caused by the extended pressure from lying down. While in horses, the extended pressure from lying down leads to poor blood flow in not just the skin, but the muscles and organs nearby too.

And yes, you can turn horses over too, but it takes multiple people and is really dangerous to everyone involved, so its not an action to be taken lightly.

I miss it too, but its not like we've been starved for content, she's been doing little daily comics for a while now.

It's not just horses, all large mammals have this problem from lying down too long. Horses can and do lie down every day, but for short periods of time. It's the extended lying down from illness or injury that kills them.

To add on why broken legs are fatal: its because horses are so big, that even with a sling, they cannot support themselves well on 3 legs. And lying down is also not an option as their own weight will crush their internal organs if they stay down for too long.
