Yep. Was going to say the same thing. I switched to the app, and now it’s fine

I’m just using the New view right now. Won’t be sustainable once the amount of content on Lemmy grows, but it’s working for now…

We’re basically in a read-only state it seems like

(edit: but apparently there’s more to it than that)

Why does it take so long to download, got some steganography hidden in there?

I think we’ll see a bunch of the top communities gravitate towards a few instances, but the userbase will spread out over time. Right now people are going to the biggest, b/c they just want to get on and try it out. But over time as people learn how to work with this new system they’ll venture out to others. I could see a lot of people eventually hosting their own instance just for their one user, but have no communities of its own.

But for communities, finding an instance that has the right rules and plugins available will lead them to looking for trusted servers to moderate them from. As long as what Beehaw’s doing doesn’t become a trend, it should be fine

TBF, many farmers were also opposed to daylight savings time when it was introduced

The next gen of consoles is expected around 2027/28, and they generally start developing them about 5 years before they release. So seems right on schedule for them to be thinking about the next one.

Plus the ramifications of this will echo on for decades, so makes sense to project further out into the future.

But of course it’s all about money. These are massive corporations, it’s all they care about. I haven’t seen them once argue against the merger for the sake of the art form

The port would only be miserable if, assuming they released a new one during the launch window of the new consoles, they rushed it out around the same time. More likely the port would come out six months to a year later than the Xbox and PC versions. Early access to prototype hardware only gives you a head start. And they would still get the generally available version of the dev kits (post announcement) about a year before release

Yep. I got one of these messages last weekend. So what did I do? I created a new replacement community here and pinned a post to the re-openned subreddit encouraging people to migrate.

But I created it over a decade ago, grew it myself from nothing. I’m not giving up mod status

I think it’s primarily because OOP has fallen out of favor for more functional JS. But when they first introduced classes I was elated because they were way better than the Prototype based inheritance we used to have to deal with. I just don’t want to write OO anymore
