I've definitely noticed for sure. Food generally tastes like nothing now. I used to love sushi growing up and now you can't even taste the difference between the fish and the rice.
I'm surprised at the lack of new posts across all communities right now. It's taken me 9 days to completely onboard to Lemmy and I've subscribed to every community across all instances that remotely interest me. It wasn't a big deal at all and I'm happy to be here, I just wish more people felt the same way.
I also think part of the problem is that a lot of reddit communities are learning about Lemmy and realizing they actually want their own instance with a bunch of new communities rather than creating a single new community on an existing instance, so it's adding extra time for the big reddit communities to migrate.
I'm also seeing a lot of hesitation on the reddit side, like oh well if we migrate then our user base might get confused and we'll lose our community in the process. Which adds to the list of reasons why mods want their own instances because they want to curate every part of the migration process.

Because the nuance of calling a PC a PC is that it supports a standard motherboard configuration and any Linux kernel will be able to boot. Mobile devices aren't like this and every component requires a specialized driver to work.
While the prospect of using it in everyday transactions seems pretty much dead, for some reason the crypto market cap in and of itself is very much alive. Plus it's interesting that crypto was born out of the 2008 financial crisis and people wanting more control over their assets, so if anything I would think it would be more socially relevant now than ever.
The cereal and juice aisles have been doing this for decades.

I've seen a lot of people asking for a feed pause button. For me what usually happens is I will be browsing All and somebody on my instance will subscribe to a novel community, causing all its posts to be federating into my feed at once. So there's really two issues going on there, but yes I would actually prefer to not have the live feed updates and instead do discrete pagination.
No it isn't. A company can be formed to be the steward of either or both the Lemmy source code or popular instances, which would be run by a CEO. I bet anything these corporate structures naturally form as people try to monetize the community and seek investment to gain control over the ecosystem.
I agree, as someone who saw reddit evolve from r/reddit.com to what it is today, it took about 4 years for them to really get to peak old reddit with the introduction of multireddits. Other than that most of the development has been in the third party apps, and really much of that development has been updating the apps to match the evolving OS design language rather than new reddit API endpoints. But we now have the advantage of having a minimum viable product and people with years of experience building and moderating communities.
