Instance admins can setup a slur filter for their instance, which automatically removes that word from ever appearing on that particular instance.
Password managers are as important as adblockers in this day and age imo
for personal use, main reasons are you won’t have to worry about instance admins making arbitrary decisions that you don’t agree with, and no worries about server overload or downtime.
for making an instance for public, helping fediverse become a more viable alternative by spreading the load over more instances and helping it grow.
Top of all time post on lemmy is now about beans.
this is the post: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/559757
The beehaw and world defederation (which I assume you are referencing) is temporary because beehaw believes the increased traffic cannot be moderated without proper mod tools.
And while you’re right about mainstream things like gaming or technology won’t have a single main community, I feel more niche communities will be able to setup their main communities. Obviouly that’s just my opinion, but there are some signs of that happening already. (c/piracy for example)
As time goes one community will emerge as the main one while other would dry up and naturally become obsolete (until people get angry with the mods of main one and start looking for alternative community, similar to how there are r/truegaming, r/true(x) etc for popular subreddits.)
There are many open PRs on lemmy github on how to aggregate similar communities. For example there is a suggestion of making an auto multireddit like thing, m/gaming for example, that would merge posts from every c/gaming community (not sure how this would work with defederation and stuff). With enough demand, something like that can be added to lemmy by an experienced dev.
Right now the best way is to search from inside a lemmy instance itself. lemmy search finds much better results than what native reddit search used to give.
Criticizing and mentioning flaws of a system doesn’t automatically make a person against the system.
Accepting the current flaws and then working on their solutions is the way to make Lemmy better for everyone.
I made a collection of guide in this post.
I’ll try to keep it updated as more guides are created.
That’s true, duplicate copies of the same book is perhaps the main pain on bookwyrm right now. On the other hand it also feels like a problem that devs must be aware of and are actively trying to figure out a solution for.
