People forget projects like this are done for fun. They put a lot of polish and organize it well enough that it looks professional, but just like this, it can be a single dev working on it on their free time. its super easy to create a project, get busy, and just fall off. They're allowed to do that, plus while there's always more stuff to do, even the existence of this app is already impressive, so I thank them for the work, and until I decide to start coding during my free time instead of playing video games or watching TV, I try not to be disappointed when a project slows or even dies.

I hope the original dev is doing good, I thank them for their work, and congratulations on the twins, hope everything is going well for them, and hope they only come back when they feel ready, not when they feel forced to

I think it'll be tough to find that corner of it... I think I saw a conservative community on lemmy.world but the platforms original purpose was to get away from the big, controlling, capitalist social media platforms the likes of Twitter, Instagram, reddit, etc. Like mastodon, the largest part of the fediverse (I'm pretty sure), grew alot when twitter was brought by Elon, and more moved after he messed up the platform enough, saying they'll create their own platform where hate won't be allowed. It's kinda against it's nature to have much conservative-ness.

Not trying to be rude as based on how this sounds, you seem nice enough and not crazy, but places like mastodon are basically the left's version of "Truth social" where people are pretty ok with saying "I don't want those thoughts spread here" those thoughts they don't want are usually things like homophobia or transphobia, but those are fairly common on the right even if you don't share them.

It's an interesting thought and would probably be alittle healthier, but hey you're still here being able to provide that counter point of view

I know it feels like its that often, but its actually still in the upper 90s atleast according to the status site, and its 89% for the last week on an external status page (which probably sees its up by attempting to load the page so its probably close to real life data)

You have to remember that until recently, there was sub 100 daily users, this wasn't a big platform, and it wasn't just lemmy.ml, but a bunch of <10 user instances.

It wasn't worth paying for a small side project until it wasn't and at that point it was too late, plus who would have predicted that the gov of Mali would forcefully take back all of their domains?

No in some cases, they pay you to use power in an attempt to keep the frequency stable. it takes time to ramp up or down power generation so the time where there's almost too much power, the rate goes negative to attempt to level it out

It's mainly happening during mid day where people aren't home and using power and when solar is at its peak

Oh shit, these aren't real pictures? That's crazy, I remember like a year ago where human faces looked all messed up... I can't even notice any parts that look incorrect anymore

The thing is, each instance isn't supposed to have their own of each community, like the goal is to have communities spread all over the fediverse. Lemmy.world not having a c/android isn't a bad thing, because you can always connect to any other one.

The parking community name is a good point if it is against the rules but I feel like that rule is just designed to do exactly what you're looking for, having a version of each community on lemmy.world, defeating the whole point of the fediverse.

Lemmy really needs to figure out a way to group many smaller instances of the same topic into one, like a multi-reddit feature. That way people can subscribe to a topic and it will combine all posts from the smaller android communities without having to create more and continue fragmenting it

You can still access the other community on a different instance from world, you don't need a different login or anything

Isn't the whole point of Lemmy and the way communities work is if you want to moderate and don't like the way the existing one does it, then create your own? Like I get your point here but basically it sounds like the ones in charge of it said "oh we don't want to do this anymore". If they opened it and started it off, it sucks it's closed but a new one can always be reopened.

Unless you're looking to NOT do it that way, and have the admins help find new mods for any large community that decides to do something similar

Yeah I saw something saying if there was power problems, they most likely froze to death long before their oxygen would be used up

As a Lemmy user, I believe the way to tell is when looking at the top, you should see the user@instance, and it is posted to "lemmy.world@lemmy.world", this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it's abit confusing, but say "gaming@kbin.social" is how it should show for Lemmy users

Edit: and speaking of the "first time I've seen a federated post", I heard kbin.social turned off federation since it was getting overloaded with users, much less other instances. It'll slowly get better

I believe the names have to be unique on the instance-level, but not on the federal-level. So test@lemmy.world and test@lemmy.ml are two different and valid usernames.
