  • I felt slightly frustrated when I tried some Lemmy apps and they only offer a few largest instances in the initial setup and leave people to discover/find smaller instances by themselves.

    It is understandable that they don’t want to present a thousand choices and confuse people, or get people to sign up for an instance that disappears a week later. Also, larger instances tend to get a snowball effect by receiving more donations / volunteers and scale better, other nodes are also more likely to help them if there are e.g. federation problems.

    However this effectively promotes an centralized ecosystem that both depends on and burdens a small number of key instances.


  • Thank you for looking into it. I tried subscribing again and it went through, and several threads just got through to kbinMeta over there, so I’ll cautiously say it seems to be fixed now.

    Glad to hear federation is being worked on, it does feel it needs to be more robust to live up to the promise that one gets the same experience no matter which instance (local or remote) one view a magazine from. (I’m not being critical, interoperability is always a hard problem no matter which stage of development it is)

    Again, thanks for the good work and for bringing kbin to us!










    • Still somewhat annoyed that there is no seat belt on the shuttle, even if it is to maintain continuity with TOS. M’Benga looked like he was going to bang his head and get a concussion when they were landing.

    • La’an: They won’t see us coming.
      Zac: We totally saw you from the other side of the planet a hemisphere away.

    • What was Zac trying to accomplish? He lured them there with the Starfleet Delta, but he was not going to hitch a ride home. He expected whatever ship that comes to inspect to… forget and go away, or suffer some disastrous result when the crew become unable to function? Why not just stay low and be king if he wasn’t planning to leave?
