Make sure you visit in a browser aince apps wouldn’t have implemented an in development feature.

I agree this makes the most sense.

Hmm interesting, I thought he’d been on Mastodon since well before Bluesky existed.

George Takei is on Mastodon and has been for years, surely he would have done something.

Your instance would have private/public keys for communicating with other instances. By changing software, all that is gone, and you might find other instances rejecting your federation activities, this is doubly true if you used the same username, because they would already have a record of that user with a different public key.

I’d suggest using a subdomain or a new domain, re-using a domain for a different Fediverse server is likely to have issues. A subdomain would be treated as a different domain so would be fine.

This is also something to know for a different scenario: taking your lemmy instance and changing the domain but keeping the content is likely to break federation as well.

I’m sure they will have a new model out soon that blasts the advert at you at excess volume.

I remember when Fairphone firat came out, they talked a bit about their work. Their conclusion was that it was simply not possible to create a phone that had all parts from ethical sources, so picked some specific things to focus on that were high impact and achievable at scale.

It’s likely the most ethical phone you can buy, but that is mostly due to how bad most phones are.

It’s probably that VPNs are blocked on Lemmy.world. It’s linked in the sidebar: https://lemmy.world/post/11967676

Looks like it’s one of those sites that let you easily host an instance of various sites, one of which includes Lemmy.

I’m not sure who will be affected but if it’s anyone, probably mostly single user instances.

My short summary is they donated money to a linux project run by a nazi. When called out on it, they said that they wanted a big tent where everyone is included to help grow the ecosystem.

I guess this is the paradox of tolerance in action.

Made up spellings are bad, but good luck searching for anything that isn’t a made up spelling or two words put together.

I think PieFed has only recently got an API for apps to connect to, hence the surge.

Many of the .ee communities are in the process of migrating, so hopefully the list can be updated with their new homes.

2 years for me as well!

I suspect this is not a list of all countries with the USA number 3. It looks like a list of the countries with people who responded.

I’m curious about the survey selection process.

I believe the 18" refers to the starting height of the bar not the height it needs to be lifted.

Stole explanation from r/ELI5:

When you stand on the north pole how fast are you moving relative to the earth’s core?

Zero, you just spin around in place once every 24 hours.

When you stand on the equator how fast are you moving?

1000mph, you have to circumnavigate the earth in a day.

This difference doesn’t matter much when you throw a baseball, but it absolutely matters when you’re a storm the size of a country. > This disparity in relative speed rotates the storm since the equatorial side is moving faster than the polar side, and it provides the swirling structure of the hurricane.

But here’s the problem - storms in the north spin counter-clockwise and storms in the south spin clockwise.

That means to cross the equator you have to stop and reverse direction. That’s not happening, and hurricanes never track near the equator because neither the storm itself nor the prevailing winds that push it around can approach this reversal boundary.

Not only is NZ on this map but it’s not even way off in the corner!

It’s not that Lemmy couldn’t allow you to follow Mastodon users, the technology allows it. It’s just not high on the priority list to actually develop.

Only a single person on the instance needs to subscribe, then the instance with the community knows about it and will start pushing the content to that instance.

You’re on Lemmy.world, so it wouldn’t take long for someone to subscribe (if you’re the first person, just looking also pulls a handful of posts, but no further updates until someone subscribes).
