I’ve just joined up to lemme.ee and subscribed to a community on another instance. I can see the posts in that community, but they all show up with zero comments. If I view the community on the web, there are several comments there. Is this a bug?

The community is !nrl@aussie.zone

It might take a few years but they’ll recover. Every club has spent time at the bottom of the ladder.

I read that Elon is moving Twitter from Google Cloud over to Oracle Cloud with his buddy Larry Ellison. The rate limiting may be due to this migration.

Boost is still working for some reason.

I tried to use Liftoff but it wouldn’t let me add the lemm.ee server, so I can’t sign in.

Same with Boost. I don’t think it will last long.

You need to have control of your body as well as control of the ball.

Sounds like an Episode I side plot.

I’m still very sceptical. While I love the idea of the fediverse, I honestly don’t think it will ever be more than a niche platform. It will probably remain active among “enthusiasts” but I can’t see it ever going mainstream.

It’s just not simple enough. If some non-tech person wants to join Twitter or Facebook or Reddit or Instagram, they just go to the site or app, sign up, and that’s it. No decisions need to be made, there is nothing to understand. My 70 year old mother could do it.

Joining lemmy is a commitment. And more importantly, it requires decisions to be made. Which server should I join? What difference will it make? Am I doing it wrong? Why are there different communities with the same name but on different servers? Why is there no ‘lemmy’ app? Etc.

Those of us who are here have made the effort to understand these things, but the general population won’t bother.
