I’ve been interested in the Fediverse for a long time but didn’t have any reason to jump into it because the applications I was aware of did not appeal to me. If I don’t use Twitter and Instagram, why would I be interested in Mastodon and Pixelfed? This all changed when Reddit announced their API change. Reddit is the only social media site I use, so Lemmy seems like the perfect reason to jump in.

When I eat in at a restaurant (excluding places with no waiters or service), 15% is my standard tip. I choose the percentage on the payment machine, so I assume it’s on top of the tax. When I order take-out, I don’t tip at all.

I’m curious how much you guys tip (if at all) for things outside the restaurant industry. For example, taxis.

Interesting. I appreciate hearing your perspective as an admin!

Does federated content get stored on your server permanently or will it eventually “age out”? For example, if Lemmy.ml shuts down permanently tomorrow, will Lemmy.ca still have all that federated content a decade from now?

Back to the “no porn” rule, does it apply only to content that is uploaded to this server or are we also not allowed to link to off-site content? (For the record, I don’t plan on doing any NSFW stuff here. I’m just curious.)

Thanks for the explanation. I think everything is pretty clear now, including the purpose of that rainbow button above every comment. This Fediverse thing is really cool and I look forward to exploring more of it.

I used Linux Mint for about a decade on all my desktops and laptops. When I upgraded my gaming desktop to version 21, I started having some strange visual issues which I spent a lot of time troubleshooting unsuccessfully. I took that opportunity to try something new. I started with Nobara, a gaming-focused distro based on Fedora, and enjoyed the experience. I then started to embrace upstream distributions, so I replaced Nobara with Fedora and my remaining Linux Mint systems with Debian. Had I not encountered the strange issue with Linux Mint 21 on my gaming desktop, I’d probably still be using it exclusively today.

I believe they were coming from an instance called lemmynsfw.com. I saw it on the All home page.

“AdGuard – Mobile App Banners” does the trick too.

I’m not sure if this is the correct place to bring this up, but I’ve noticed a discrepancy in the comment counts between instances. For example, a post on lemmy.ml shows 26 comments, but I only see 21 when viewing it from lemmy.ca. The missing comments seem to be from users from multiple instances including lemmy.ml, kbin.social and lemmy.fmhy.ml

EDIT: People on other instances are seeing the same thing, so it seems to not be an isolated issue.

Yeah, you know something is wrong when All + Hot is full of posts from 6 days ago.

EDIT: I don’t know if there was a server update last night, but Hot and Active are giving me much fresher results now.

Same. I use my phones for many years — I’m still using the Pixel 3 — so the easily replaceable battery is really appealing, but I don’t know if I can deal with the inevitably underwhelming camera.
