Good stuff 👍 Right now you’re using “can” and “should” which are somewhat vague. What happens if bots don’t do something they should?

Consider clarifying requirements using the following RFC-style language: "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL".

I thought intercutting the bombing of Hiroshima with THAT sex scene was done as tastefully as it could have been.

Lemmy has cleared some early hurdles to grow from near-zero to 60k DAUs in a month. I’ve enjoyed talking to people over the past month in a more friendly and intimate way than on that other site. The main communities are fun and viable but the niche ones are mostly empty. I run a niche hobby community and despite having a few hundred subscribers <5% have ever commented, <0.5% have posted. I think Lemmy needs to be perhaps 10x larger than it is now to be self-sustaining for niche communities.

It’s called a single-point of failure in Engineering.

For that instance, yes. For the whole of Lemmy, no. Everything else keeps on chugging along.

A lot of mobile apps don't display community banners, and they're how a lot of people interact with lemmy.

I find that what is displayed affects how I feel and what action I am likely to take. When downvotes are displayed separately and prominently (e.g. lemmy builtin frontend) I am less likely to downvote a comment I find lacking as long as it appears to be in good faith, instead I will skip to and upvote other, better comments below so they “rise up”. When downvotes are hidden (e.g. Apollo and current Voyager) I am more likely to treat downvote as “disagree” to “push it down.”

I wonder about this as well -- because communities are tied to a specific home instance, that instance going down affects that community, potentially killing it. Something more akin to hashtags/tags/labels wouldn't be tied to an instance so they would be more robust, though you'd lose the moderation of a community and just have a firehose of posts/comments...

i have castile soap, though the current bottle is peppermint scented. it helps in the sense that if i can still smell it i haven't rinsed quite enough, though unscented would probably be better. for zippers wash, dry, then lubricate; i've seen everything recommended from high end stuff to candle wax and lip balm.

tbh outside of my clothes and groundsheet my gear hasn't gotten that dirty, though i just washed my quilt after thousands of miles. i was nervous i would screw it up lol.

In our testing, Ultra TNT matches or outperforms 1oz/yd DCF in most ways. The biggest performance advantage of Ultra TNT is that the fabric is stabilized by UHMWPE fibers in three directions instead of just two. This means Ultra TNT is more dimensionally stable than DCF which decreases the amount of deformation of the fabric under load. This superior stability reduces the strain on the Mylar films increasing durability along with making the fabric extremely rigid when well pitched. The coloration of Ultra TNT is also more opaque than DCF, meaning more privacy inside.

The other benefit of Ultra TNT is cost. At roughly half the price of DCF, Ultra TNT is not only better performing in many ways but also leads to much more affordable tents.

Hello! I am still figuring out this federation stuff after having created the community !ultralight@lemmy.world. I’ve heard discussion about how fast lemmy.world is growing and outpacing the other instances, and some discussion how it’s important to spread users out. I wondered if I should recommend instances other than lemmy.world or perhaps even move myself. With that in mind I wanted to see what my new community looked like from other instances. I decided to sample some of the larger instances from https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ - as of 10am July 3, 2023 EDT here’s what I see:

(See table above)

Out of the 13 instances !ultralight@lemmy.world is only really usable from 4 of them, and only up-to-date on one of them, lemmy.world. If this is representative of the state of things generally I’m a bit concerned for the implications that it will funnel everyone onto a single instance and turn lemmy.world into a monolith.
