Pretty sure it doesn't "take a while" for things to sync up. Once an instance is discovered by another, any posts from that point forward will appear, but anything made before then will not. I have personally seen new instances sync with kbin.social that have less comments than if you look at the main instance's thread. They have added more comments, but only new ones made after it was discovered.

Whether I'm right or not, I'm not sure. Would have to hear from the devs to know for sure, but from all I've seen there is no syncing of archived or historical postings, just discovery of and acceptance of new data from other instances.

Probably none, if you're fine with KeePass. Personally I don't want to use anything that's hosted on someone else's server. It's a bit more inconvenient to use the local files of KeePass only, but I'd rather feel a bit safer with that, even if by all account BitWarden/Proton Pass would be fine.

Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it'd eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.

Next I'd like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that's gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.

Most people here are ignoring the main reason: the writers were just a bunch of baseball loving rat pack fans who took their love of those things maybe a little too far. In the case of baseball, we only had Take Me Out to Holosuite to deal with (which is a great episode--provided you like baseball, I suppose). In the case of the rat pack, we inexplicably got Vic Fontaine who you either love or hate. I wouldn't hate Vic Fontaine so much myself if they didn't force him to basically take up the space that Quark's Bar was supposed to be, and for him to be an integral part of the show so late in the series. And yes, the musical numbers take up too much time, if you ask me.

Diaspora* is one that's been around for yeeeeears. A federated Facebook basically. I always wished it'd take off since I do like the idea of having a personal page for very close friends and my network but it is much harder to take off because, while reddit and other sites have tech-minded folks willing to learn and migrate, very few people have an entire extended friend group looking to figure out what a decentralized federated Facebook would entail.

Unfortunately when an instance/community is federated it does not bring any archived posts or comments over. If new posts/comments come in then it'll get those, but otherwise yeah it's a bit of an issue since there's plenty of old posts people will want to be able to peruse when a community is discovered by an instance.

What a weird trailer. The British humor of Fable is just a fun extra on top of the core gameplay, not the defining feature... Not really sure what this trailer is conveying exactly, showing off a single character and some kind of Richard Ayoade theme park experience, but I guess we'll see.

Good ol' Florida. Still want em to win though.

384 blocked for beehaw, Jesus Christ. Trying to like build its own world over there?

Man Florida is just plain getting beat right now. Still, ain't gonna count em out til the series is done.

It's definitely not old reddit. But absolutely hate the new reddit crowd. So much low effort bullshit that's making this place feel like /r/funny.

I do agree not enough of the niche stuff I'm into has built up though. Personally enjoy local/regional and hobby stuff. So far, regional communities are big enough to have much discussion or content, and the hobby stuff I'm into hasn't really moved over much other than the various tech stuff which is something, at least.

The issue is it takes a lot of users to hit a point where enough niche communities can exist. Until then it's just gonna be this lame tryhard shit with people trying to force lemmy memes about beans or some dude who can't poop.

Damn, Herrera's batting stance is wild. Must've made a big adjustment from last season. Glad to see him doing well though. Have felt like he'd be nice to have following up Contreras as he slowly moves into the DH over the years, but I guess we'll see if he sticks around.

Coffee's been around for hundreds of years. You think there's really going to be an about face on it after all this time?

Themeable in that you can change colors and icons and sizing to your liking. But inherently it's just a search bar and an app drawer basically. The screenshots do a bad job of showing the variety of looks you can achieve though. I've been pushing for a custom color hex picker for a while but it hasn't made any releases so far though.

Here's an example of mine below...

Can also set favorites to float above the search bar like more traditional if you're into that.

No reason this can't just be a one stop shop for anything Cardinals news from around the web. Nice to have it all in one place to have some discussion on it.

Last I've seen of him was this article from May.

Granted depending on this DeBrincat deal or any other trade it's hard to say if he'll be on the roster again.

Yeah I doubt he comes too. Sounds like he really wants to be in Detroit, but Wahlstrom for him--if ithappened--wouldn't be the worst flip. Granted it'd take more than him, and with DeBrincat being so particular it sounds like he wouldn't wanna sign with the Isles long term anyway.

Absolutely the biggest issue for Lemmy (and any other federated threadlike site). This whole reddit "implosion" business (though it really is doing just fine still) has done wonders for user growth, but it's gonna take at least another few hundred thousand+ people on here before there's enough random distribution to make smaller niche hobby communities viable.

Not sure how I feel about the music direction but the footage is fabulous.

Yeah it's still definitely an issue considering there will be plenty of old topics that people will want to search and refer back to, and any new instance or people making their own will be SOL if they come in years later after communities have been posting for a while.
