Yeah I guess many skilled sports have some unique slang for a beginner or someone with no clue. Grom is another weird one for surf/skate.

100% of people who say shit like this in reference to Norway don't know that Norway isn't a member of the EU.

You'll have a second kimchi awakening when you switch to home made :)

I've never seen store bought that can compare, barring actually being in Korea.

Funny you should say, I recently began making my own ice cream. And it's also full-on blackberry season. It's all coming together...

For weight, they forgot to add: if it's for advertising a price, it's in $/lbs (though you will be charged in $/kg). The butcher knows damn well that steaks advertised at $15/lbs sell better than steaks at $33/kg.

Ohh I've been stumbling across these on my walks lately. Always a nice treat, 99% of what I see is thimble berries and blackberries. Love the black raspberries. I harvested some seeds to try to cultivate for next year, though I suppose trying to bring home cuttings might be easier.

It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.

Further, it's a transaction that Reddit facilitated out of their own pocket. I think people are being extremely petty about it. It's best to just mourn and move on, we can still appreciate the golden years that Reddit gave us.

I agree, it seems very petty to me. If you don't like the direction just leave, what's the point of trying to burn it down? Especially given how much we all got out of it throughout the golden years. I say just mourn and move on.

Not trying to insert my own opinion but I believe it's because the core Lemmy devs actually admin and/or are involved in said instance. Well verify for yourself but somebody said it's hosted from the same IP as lemmy.ml. And the core devs comment and moderation histories are public for all to see.

You pointed out all the extra complexities. Visiting multiple websites, and making a decision, and understanding what the decision means. Those are the complexities, nobody is saying they are big but even you recognize they exist.

Mainstream is also what killed Reddit, better to have a "big enough to be good" community. I almost appreciate that the barrier of entry is slightly higher.

Most friction will be from the sides of the blade rubbing against the kerf. I believe it's just about concentrating force onto those teeth (which are essentially knives on crosscut saws, alongside chip clearing teeth).

 

As far as I know, one of the headline features of microblogging networks is searching and following hashtags. On top of that, Mastodon (like Lemmy) tells users that it's not important what server/instance you join, because of federation.

With Lemmy, I find it easy to search and interact with communities across all the federated instances. Chances are, people on my local instance (even if it's relatively small) will have already interacted with popular communities for a given topic, so they will be easy to discover. However with Mastodon this concept seems totally broken -- when I search a hashtag I want to see everything, and related posts might be spread out over hundreds of small servers for which, apparently, my small server has no content populated. With Lemmy, I understand that content gets populated on my local instance when somebody else on my instance has interacted with it before. I just don't understand how this approach is feasible with for a system like Mastodon. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but it seems like the only way to have a reasonable chance of getting decent results for hashtag searches is to be on the biggest server?

 

If my home instance is lemmy.ca, and I want to create and moderate a community about, say, Japanese woodworking (random example of a subreddit I follow), isn't it a bit odd for that community to be hosted by lemmy.ca? If somebody else later created a community of the same name on lemmy.ml or lemmy.jp, would people be more likely to join those communities as they seem more "official"?

On one hand, joining multiple instances just for "better" vanity URLs for new communities seems wrong (and annoying to manage), on the other hand it's odd that I'd arbitrarily impose the traffic associated with a community completely unrelated to Canada onto lemmy.ca. How is this supposed to work?
