Oh damn, you’re right!

But sometimes on the fediverse there’s a “copy link to post/comment on original instance”, which I sometimes find to be useful. But this is already pretty great!

That’s true - it would be useful to have a “copy direct link” option in the menu bar for each comment. @[email protected]

I just put together my first feed today, collecting more than 60 US protest communities into one feed: https://piefed.social/f/50501

In the drop-down menus on top I can choose between either the communities I’m subscribed to, or the feeds I subscribe to. I can subscribe to public feeds compiled by other users, including users on other PieFed instances. I can also make a private feed if I don’t feel like sharing it.

It’s pretty great. Would absolutely recommend.

There are two main instances:
https://piefed.social/ and https://feddit.online/
There’s no mobile app/APK support at the moment, but it’s coming soon.

One criticism is that in some models the manual release of the back seat doors is near impossible to find, rendering them a death trap.

What an amazing site.

We won’t ask why you would want to glue ceramic and leather together - we just give gluing info.

It’s farmland, you see the plowmarks in front and in the back there are fields.

It has clearly been used as farmland already. And in most places where farming is common we could traditionally rely on rain, though I guess climate change is making everything funky.

There’s no following of users in PieFed, so in that sense it’s more like Lemmy.

Referring to the song Sweetheart Like You:

Steal a little and they throw you in jail Steal a lot and they make you king

Assuming the same communities are being followed and no users are blocked and all else is equal, one possible explanation is that lemmy.world is using Lemmy 0.19.3, and sh.itjust.works is on Lemmy 0.19.5. Something might have changed in how posts are sorted between the two versions.

One might expect these two instances to be pretty similar, as they both have a bunch of users and are pretty much catch-all. But in general, different instances of Lemmy will display different content by design - the users decide the direction of the instance by following communities they are interested in.

Yeah, I was being a bit cheeky - I wouldn’t step on any jet plane that hasn’t had access to official spare parts for a few years.

I just found it amusing F-14s were bought in the mid-70s, which I guess is around the time many would say the quality of American cars also began dropping.

Turns out America’s greateast weapoin in its fight against terrorism is the quality of its engineering.

confused European sounds

Wherever there’s a boot there’s a tool willing to lick it.

I guess the scammers are also in the process of figuring out how to use the Fediverse. Give them time. :)

There are several mammoths (instances) peacefully grazing on the same pastures (the social web), but the pastures are also shared with completely different species of animal. Perhaps they are single-user instances as no birds are landing on them; perhaps they are completely different pieces of the social web, such as Peertube or Lemmy.

Or maybe I’m over-thinking it.

There are good replies here already, but I just want to emphasize the role of bragging. It seems boasting about yourself is quite accepted and sometimes perhaps even expected in the US. In Europe it is not at all, and we tend to react strongly to it.

Whenever I’ve found Americans to be insufferable they’ve always been bragging or taking themselves too seriously.

Not all Americans obviously. And I guess a lot of Americans can’t stand these people either. But it’s still a common American trait that very few Europeans will have patience for. Even our narcissists have learned to pretend to be humble.

Fantastic! Thank you for this. :)

I’ve been inching towards Gnome Web (WebKit) for a while now. Every time I try using it I last a little longer than last time before I encounter some deal breaking issue and return to Firefox.

In the short term I’m considering sticking to Firefox for work, and using Gnome Web for all other kinds of distractions. I’m writing this in Gnome Web right now, and it’s working great. :)

On mobile I’ll probably stick to Firefox for a while. So they will still have all my data, and if I have to choose between Mozilla and Google it will still be Mozilla. But my god I wish they would stop acting like idiots.
