Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

There is an official announcement here: https://lemmy.ml/post/2540874

This used to work. The latest block of shorts that they added in the subscriptions page that is not removable.

If I read the announcement correctly, that is implemented by a bot with mod privileges that parses comments and takes actions on users’ behalf. I don’t think it’s practical to literally make every user a moderator.

The theis here does not really appear to be correct. Comparing MAU here, lemmy.world’s MAU is flatter than the entire Lemmy platform’s, implying that other platforms are seeing users drop off at a faster rate.

There are a number of tools that monitor the fediverse. Here’s one. The thesis does not appear to be correct though. As lemmy.world’s monthly active users is stabalizing, Lemmy as a whole is declining.

Honestly kind of a hilarious misunderstanding of Lemmy too. Beehaw will never replace reddit because they explicitly do not want to and have already taken aggressive steps to make sure that they don’t (i.e. detailed application requirements and defederating multiple instances).

Federation works in the opposite direction. It’s push-based rather than pull-based. To get posts from Beehaw, Beehaw has to actively push those posts to your instance. With this move, Beehaw is choosing to no longer push posts to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Apollo is literally just one dude. He should do whatever he wants. He had a good run, almost certainly made a life-changing amount of money and is ready to move on. I can totally respect that.

I also think anyone who says <app> should “just” <thing> probably has never written anything as complex and popular as Apollo before. There really is no “just” anything at that scale.

I wish we could leave cynical takes like this back on Reddit. They don’t add anything of value to the conversation.

This only proves that you can’t unilaterally migrate a subreddit. That instance currently has ~250 users. I don’t know how active the subs it represents were, but surely they had at least an order of magnitude more active users than that?

Even with in-video ads, those must be paid based on historical (or actual?) view counts right? No matter how big you are, there’s no way you’re going to maintain view counts when switching away from YouTube.

I think GP is saying the the total income from Premium doesn’t cover the cost of running all of Youtube, not that a single premium subscription doesn’t cover that one user’s costs, which it obviously does.

I think things have tightened up a lot over there in the last 5 or so days. I don’t even remember what I put (definitely nothing more substantial than yours) and I have an account over there of similar to age. People who have tried to sign up more recently have mentioned being rejected after multiple serious looking responses.

I’ve never been a Zelda fan, but this list makes me think I should try BotW :D

I’m with you on this one. I got moderately stuck at one point pretty early on in the game (I’m not sure, but I think my save was probably bugged). Anyway, I put game down and never touched it again. Didn’t feel like I had lost anything at all.

I would like to try one, but I have yet to see one that comes at a price that’s even remotely tied to reality. If anyone can recommend a split keyboard (assembled, not a kit) that I can buy for under $200 I would be all over it.

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it’s worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

Looking at my own very small instance, Lemmy doesn’t seem to consider “logged in” as active. I currently have 8 users online and 3 users/month.

I think this is right, but there is a bit of a confounding factor in that mods and power users of reddit are disproportionately likely to jump ship IMO. So while the masses might still show up to reddit, it’s entirely possible that the quality of the content will take a nosedive anyway. I’m not really sure how much of a difference that makes. I suspect not enough of one to kill reddit off completely, but I do think there’s a good chance that it’s enough to get Lemmy off the ground and viable. I think we probably only need to see 1% or maybe even fewer users migrate here from reddit to make Lemmy active enough that I never have any reason to go back to reddit again.
