Scotland still has lead pipes too. Hardly a water quality utopia compared to the EU or US.

Standard Lemmy is actually faster than Old Reddit. See my comparison here.

The default Lemmy interface already combines everything good about old.reddit's design with additional quality of life features, faster performance, and Fediverse-oriented functionality.

No, I do not want to use an old.reddit clone. Lemmy is already better and can be further improved by the community itself. We should be encouraging newcomers to embrace innovation, not encouraging them to go back to Reddit.

"The clicks" don't matter when these individuals own the media outlets and the social media platforms.

Thanks for the updates! Seeing the details of how you work through these early issues is valuable to those of us thinking of starting an instance.

I have over 100 RSS feeds I've organized into different categories. It lets me get the latest updates from many websites all in one place. Even though some feeds now only supply a headline or partial article, it's still a much faster and comfortable experience than relying on Twitter or Reddit to do the same thing.

You've just discovered the main problem with centralized platforms like Reddit, Discord, Twitter. The only thing stopping the mods from making a complete archive of the old platform is the Big Tech owners of Reddit. These corporate interests own all your posts, memes, and DMs, forever.

With federated platforms, the community leadership can easily backup, archive, or transfer everything whenever they like. That's the power of ownership.

The pitch for Starfield seems to be Mass Effect inside an NMS-sized world. If they can pull it off, count me in. Assuming my system specs are up to the challenge.

I think the big Mastodon push last year has made things a little bit easier for Lemmy. Basic awareness of the fediverse has broken into the mainstream of social media, rather than being a niche interest of Free Software enthusiasts.

Now that Lemmy's gotten this initial nudge of mainstream support, I'll be far more engaged here than I ever was on Reddit.

I'm someone who hated season 1. Season 3 is worth the watch and feels like a great coda to TNG. It's almost like an extended reimagining of "All Good Things" which also ties up a few loose ends from the movies and dedicates more time to showing how the characters have grown as people and, in some cases, parents.

There are some moments where it feels like Discovery or prior Picard, but not enough to weigh down the show.

I'm so glad to see this community make a big push onto Lemmy! We're making internet history and boldly going where no one has gone before!

There's a variety of drinks and ingredients which behave like Elder Scrolls' alchemy system, but there's no spell-slinging or fantasy monsters. The setting is a semi-historical portrayal of medieval Bohemia.
