Much further back… Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The party was founded on anti- slavery. The current party has nothing to do with the original party.

I think while the general communities have made it, a lot of niche communities failed to attract enough population to keep on generating more content. As an example, just search for the “Imaginary” series of landscape art communities on the Fediverse (eg. ImaginaryVistas). Many of them don’t have any recent posts or 1 post per days or weeks. That’s not enough to keep people invested. Even the largest digital art community is still mostly carried by 1 person.

Should the instances that responded to you be refederrated? I’m pretty sure I saw some of them on lemmy.world’s block list. I think it would be sad for these small servers to not realize they are, in fact, not connected to the greater fediverse. On the other hand, if you’re an admin, and you don’t know what you’re doing to the point of not knowing your server was infected by hundreds of thousands of bots, maybe it’s too dangerous to refed.

Oh good to know. I guess I only really caught reddit downtimes in the past.

I like how it looks exactly like reddit’s status page, especially considering they just released old.lemmy.world.

Luckily I did bring my flashlight and batteries, otherwise I would have been screwed. I did not plan to stay up so late, but the ascent to the ridge hike took longer than anticipated, and of course, what was a sunny day in the morning progressed to clouds and rainstorm by the afternoon, which continued into the night.

I continued as best as I can. I was acutely aware of the danger of a trip and fall that might break an ankle and hypothermia - some parts of the hike still had snow, and anytime I stopped, I could feel the cold seeping in.

In the end, I reached my car at around 10 PM.

Getting caught in a large rainstorm in the evening while on a mountain trail with 3 more hours of rocky descent to go.

I just experienced my first actual report. 🙃

The Voyager app just recently added the ability to block a community directly from the feed without opening the post or the community.

The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.

I feel like it would be a bot purge or lemmy.world and several other instances being down from the hacking.

Consider undervolting (via Throttlestop or Intel XTU) to prolong your laptop’s longevity and possibly mildly increase its performance. For the same CPU workload, undervolting will reduce the amount of heat generation and therefore the temperature of the CPU, thereby decreasing the risk of hitting the CPU’s temperature throttling and risk of CPU damage.

There are ready guides on youtube and r/gaminglaptops sub, but I’ll leave reddit links out for now. Just search for your laptop model since the exact values will depend on the model and also on luck. If you’re lucky, you can undervolt a lot without causing instabilities.

1. Do the maneuver @Dadbod89@lemmy.world suggested.

2. Try Flonase. Helps a lot but takes 1-2 weeks to start to work.

3. See a doc if things persist.

I was really surprised to hear this, so I dug a little deeper. It looks like an honest mistake.

Here’s what their admin said:

We unintionally did until about 8 hours ago.

Lemmy.ml has a ton of bot crawlers in its nginx logs spam fetching posts, so I added the bots to an nginx block. Turns out one called kbinbot wasn’t actually a crawling bot, but their federation requester.

If we don’t respond quickly, its because we have notification backlogs that are months long at this point.

I’m not sure wtf you just said, but lemmy.world feels very smooth today, so thank you for your continued hard work!

We really need the lemmy version of a multireddit - some way to group up your subscribed communities into categories. This way you can lasso together all the communities that cover the same topic but were created on different instances. That’s at the basic level.

At the advanced level, I hope someone can come up with an algorithm to merge duplicate posts/news sources/etc together so that it looks like one centralized post, even though it is decentralized on the backend.

And… we’re back!

0.18.0 adds that option as well as top 6 and top 12 hours.

You can check out how it functions on lemmy.ml since they’re on 0.18.

There isn’t anything yet that I’m aware of.

The closest match I’m aware of is:

Digital Art

I’m waiting for people to start the more specialized art subs…

I agree with you.

I think a lot of the value and entertainment of these text/story-based communities comes from seeing other commenters interact with the post and with each other.

Some of the bots are putting out too much primary content for the number of users in that community. I think they should limit the posts to 1-2/day so that viewers can get concentrated onto those posts and hopefully generate some comments. As the population grows, more posts can be done per day by the bot, or ideally, switch to actual people submitting posts.
