The alternative is simple. The seven seas are calling out to you. :)

Raised underground, the shelter of a mountain home! The Earth is our cradle, the mountain shal become our tomb! Skin made of iron, steel in our bones! We do not fear what lies beneath, we can never dig too deep!

Wait.. you guys can't understand your cats?

I was having a hard time, this made me smile. Thank you.

If the QR code was just encoded text or an image as apposed to a weblink, then this could have been avoided. Although, I'm not sure how many QR readers support images, and if your phone doesn't have a built-in QR app nor you have a third-party one, then you'd be SOL anyways.

Sobble energy.

No, but it is tradition.

Xenia, my beloved.

Excuse you. That Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island logo is IMPERITIVE to the meme.

I'd like vegan food that tastes like human meat!

there's something in herently disturbing in people setting their pfp to a pre-teen then horny posting

If only there was a toaster that had a superior toasting machanism, negated the need for a lever, and had a gentler lifting mechanism for our fairer anime girls, all while being "Automatic Beyond Belief!"

What a cutie. :3

Pneumatics!!?? What is the point of integrating everything like this? Can I use these cables as a garden hose as well?

Why does that image exist?

Can someone explain why this is being downvoted?

Xc W... Beourtoful.

(I'm new to this, so some things might be a bit off or explained weirdly.)

No, actually. Because different instances are able to federalize with each other, essentially creating a link which will show content freely between them such as communities, posts, and comments. If you set your feed view from local to all, you should then see stuff from federalized instances. Now sometimes an instance can refuse to federalize, such as if thd one you're using disallows NSFW content for example. There are also some times that I don't understand yet (prolly cuz I'm a scrub) that federalization isn't perfect, such as when you can access a community but not their posts, this I completely don't understand and might be a mistake of some sort. Lemmy is definitely a bit more complicated than Reddit, but I believe that this is more a problem with user expectations/unknowingness than it is a design problem.

I've heard of 'going halfsies', but this is ridiculous!

I honestly prefer light mode because that's what I grew up on. Back then it was light mode or bust.
