  • Eh, as much as I’d like to believe that article it sounds a bit far-fetched. “Using Putin’s nukes to force the issue…” of the information space?

    I think what is meant is the idea of that because of Putin’s nukes we should capitulate to Russia and stop sending Ukraine money. This idea (and the idea of the power of bitcoin) is spread by RFK Jr, who Jack endorses in the US Presidential race.



  • Issue 818, yes that is what I am after.

    For issue 1048, while reducing links off-instance is good, I think there are more ways that you end up being on a different instance, such as browsing different instances for content (because there isn’t an exact equivalent to /r/all here). As I think about it, it seems like instances maybe should have something like an “Open Link” feature. Maybe that is what nnhien is talking about


  • I have been trying to learn the way to do things, as well as getting around the problems.

    My first view into the federated world was Mastodon, but I didn’t use it much. Recently, I tried looking at lemmy/kbin content in Mastodon, but I find the way it presents it just seemed wrong and unwieldy. (maybe I am just doing it wrong)

    I signed up a few days ago to kbin.social, but have been finding that it is just ‘broken’ with the content from other servers (like beehaw) being out of date - the cloudflare protection due to the growth seemingly to blame. I have now signed up to an area-focused server and have had problems with even finding this community. But now I have come back to it, it seems to be decently up to date and it may be to the small number of users on this server - so I am the first one to subscribe or even search for this.

    I find myself finding content on one server but then wanting to interact with it, and there doesn’t seem to be a “Take me to this post/comment on my server” button. So to make this post I searched again for the community then had to find this post on there.

    Aside from the problems, I miss lists. In reddit I have lists of subreddits. So many subreddits I read I would not subscribe to, but instead add them to a list and so get posts with a certain theme based on what list I was looking at.
