Came across a reference to it on Reddit. I didn't do anything at the time, but when I came across two or three more references to it just before the blackout I thought I'd give it a try.

Yes, that is one of the features of being federated. Kbin and Lemmy and Mastadon (and others) can all federate with each other, so posts and comments are all shared. It doesn't really matter if you're on Kbin or Lemmy, you can see the same communities/magazines and comments for the most part, and interact regardless of which one you are currently logged in to.

Hoo boy, what a terrible and biased editorial, full of inaccuracies and incorrect implications! It's good of you to show it to us here as a reminder of the kind of dishonesty being spread around.

Why is there a !yyc community as well as a !Calgary one?

Just like on Reddit, people can and do create multiple ~~subreddits~~ communities for various things. Usually, then, one becomes the more popular one and the others die out. This one was created before the yyc one I believe, and personally I prefer it being called 'Calgary' over 'YYC'.

Uh…there are a lot of people with 5 day old Lemmy accounts, there was literally just a mass influx.

Yup. Me included.

But that doesn't address my point in responding to the question which was wondering about tankies and had the implication this may have come from an established tankie poster on that instance.

Your account is one week old.

Exactly.

Hell, most of the active users of Lemmy before the past week were posting content like this.

Exactly. Hence my remark.

When it breaks the rules, yes.

Isn’t Radio Sputnik Russian state media?

Yes.

This isn't news, it's propaganda, and is misleading to say the least. And the person that posted it is new to Lemmy with a 5 day old account. Probably just a troll.

This:

Article summarized by AI below

and this:

The article argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is not a threat to humanity

is a rather funny juxtaposition of statements. Of course, an evil AI that was a threat to humanity would summarize the article that way!

Hahah, that's awesome. And probably the people who wanted things to stay as normal will begin to get annoyed at all the wolves being posted and maybe go somewhere else.

It's coming. You said that 'it's been fixed in a recent release', but no, it's been fixed in latest version they're working on right now that hasn't been released yet. There is a release candidate being tested, but it has a few bugs still so there will be at least one more release candidate that has to be tested for a bit before being released.

Awesome, glad to hear it!

The thing is, with federation, it doesn't matter what instance your community is on. That's the whole point. Everyone can still see, subscribe, and interact with it anyway. The instance it happens to be on is moot. Your community will still get users if there are users interested in the topic and there are not other communities doing the same thing. They'll find it on browse.feddit.de or https://lemmyverse.net/communities like any other community.
