      Most of the times that i see this meme is always censured, they usually take out the part where the woman gets gropped. While i understeand why someone wouldnt whant to share something that contains sexuall harasment, i think its a little silly and very curious how its users self-censored themselvels with this meme, it its very unussual to find it like this in the wild.

        In this version of the meme she’s actually from an alien culture where it’s considered rude not to kiss someone and squeeze their butt after accepting a medal. Their version of “bless you” after a sneeze.

        I swear to god it’s in the show somewhere look it up.

    This graph is actually wrong, lemmy.ml doesn’t have open sign ups, it just appears to because the Lemmy software doesn’t accurately distinguish between open and closed registrations, it only distinguishes between open registrations and application-based registrations. If registrations are closed it’ll look just like they are open, but we’ll just give an error message when you try to sign up which is incredibly deceiving.

    I filed an issue to fix this discrepancy on their GitHub.

    Another issue with this graph is that it shows lemmy.world as American but it’s actually hosted in Finland.

        If they ever defederate from piracy communities, yeah, but I don’t think so, admin has a very anti defederate policy, so I see this scenario very hard to occur.

          Oh, I don’t really care about piracy communities. I meant on the basis of it getting big.

      People seem to only want their accounts on “general use” instances that are already pretty popular.

      Which is… bizarre. There is no downside to having your account on a more niche instance (as long as it isn’t so niche that it gets turned off), and there are arguably disadvantages to having your account on a more popular instance.

        I’ve found that sometimes old posts don’t propagate to newer servers. So if you want to participate in a old thread, you need another account.

        One big thing that hasn’t changed from reddit is that lemmy instances are still based on an autocratic power structure. Whether or not your content gets seen or you get to see other content depends on the relationships between those leaders. That means choosing your leadership is of utmost importance, and I eventually settled on lemm.ee because it was the first instance I came across that both a) seemed like it had actual adults running the show, and b) was large enough for that leadership have already faced some challenges and have an established track record.

        That’s the downside to a niche instance.

      This was asked in the lemm.ee discord and the answer given is below.

      Ping times are low everywhere because the files we serve are hosted on globally distributed servers. So if you’re in North America, you will download the frontend code (and images etc) from a North American server. But the backend is actually hosted in Germany

      They’re quick when it comes to defederating lefties. Not so much with toxic right wingers.

      In all seriousness though, some apps copy subbed communities. Having a backup lemmy is useful.

        I need more data on that first point. Everyone’s defederation rationales and strategies have evolved over the last few months.

          Exploding heads was slow. Hexbear was instantaneous.

          Read the Hexbear defederation post if you want to see how subjective it actually was.

          Don’t get me wrong, commies are badly misguided, but they can hold a good faith rational debate.

            I think I’ll have to see how quickly they make a decision on other instances in the future.

            The hexbear defederation did seem odd to me since the rationale was the admins there reminding their users to follow other instances rules?

            Idk, I’m glad I can still see hexbear comments. I may not agree with them but at least they appear more literate than the exploding heads users.

    goddammit

    i joined dxcomplex because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn’t fold (and i liked the name);
    then it folded so i joined .world because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn’t fold (and i liked the name);
    then it got massive so i joined lemm.ee because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn’t fold (and i liked the name)

    i’m starting to wonder if i’m cursed

    Significantly less posts and comments when compared to ML. So, a lurkers instance?

      A lot of main communities (especially regarding technology, news and politics) are located in .world and .ml, so users from all instances will participate there.

    I chose ee over ml after what Mali started doing and that site could drop offline at any time.
