Oh cool, thanks. I have friends in Texas and they make it sound like it could never happen.
Complete list of secondary accounts across Lemmy, claimed here to all be the same human:

Snowballs chance unfortunately. I understand getting a Democrat to win in Texas is effectively impossible.
How do we know this post isn’t fake? Perhaps it’s all part of the ruse.
No one could have predicted this /s
I love that a service that isn’t making a buck off of us gets levels of engagement that for-profit social networks would kill for.
This is happening because:
Therefore, I expect engagement will go down over time, but I am hopeful it will reach a higher point of stability because the fediverse design seems better at getting more varied content seen by its users, and it makes it harder for a small group of people or posts to dominate the discussion space.
PS: Anybody know how to add a space after the last bullet in a list?
I swear there’s at least one of these ladies in every restaurant I’ve attended in recent memory. Now I’m going to be imagining what their salad just told them.
Somewhat, but it’s just the “how’s the weather?” of this community because most everyone is here from Reddit, so it’s a starting point to me. I don’t think Lemmy exists just to spite Reddit, and I participate in discussions having nothing to do with the subject.
Underrated comment. I picked it because I had no idea what I was doing and it sounded all-encompassing and I wanted access to everything. I didn’t even know what an instance was. I just picked it because it sounded like a good guess to get access to all of Lemmy.
It’s been said to death but at heart, I’ve always felt that when it comes to piracy, it’s a service issue, not a cost issue.
Except for you Adobe. That’s a cost issue.
It’s nice, but I feel like this is temporary. I don’t see Lemmy being more bot resistant. The bots will probably come. I think that’s alright because it’s just not the main problem that Lemmy is trying to solve.
This is hilarious. On my Desktop, which is quickly becoming my preferred interface for the moment, I just keep opening new tabs and letting it work when I post so I can move on with reading other content.
I ain’t even mad. You’ve got a good heart, soldier.
It really helps that the official Reddit app is so awful. The bar is quite low for acceptability!
As you mentioned, that in and of itself isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes it’s good not to have people who are really casual users in your community. They can take their time coming over as long as the people who are here are having a good time.
Because of the common API, if this becomes the mode, I expect clients would allow you to sign into multiple instances in the same way that you can have multiple email accounts in the same app. I’m very curious how this plays out.
I’m experiencing a bizarre glimpse of humanity in the Internet, before the bots have been written and move in, the experience of communicating with actual people without the influence of karma, business, or astroturf just yet.
They will come, but Lemmy sets the new terms of engagement.
We, the users, the community are the lifeblood. It’s people that had the good times, and people that made them.
That’s what I’m using here. It has a few bugs (I can’t turn off swipe gestures, and pull down to refresh never works), but it’s minimal, to the point, and easy on the eyes. I think Boost for Lemmy has a good shot at being the popular client when it’s ready, but for now, Connect seems to be stable on my device. I do like the web desktop UI.
I can’t be too critical though because the whole community and user base is so young. If the Lemmy.world stats are any indication, the app userbase must be exploding too, testing paths that just haven’t been tested much before.
I recently experienced this while building an upgrade for my 3D printer. The upgrade kit included a touchscreen. I found out later that the touchscreen was effectively its own separate computer with more than 10x more resources than the actual computer inside the 3D printer that was doing the most important calculations.
The compute and memory resource constraints were basically nonexistent factors in the design of the printer and the upgrade kit. Merely, a simpler computer was easier to design for and characterize, so the printer itself had a very simple computer, and for the UX, a “beefy” computer was much easier to program. It’s bizarre seeing how little the amount of computer resources mattered. It might as well have been free.
Happy to be part of the sudden stress test of your software and infrastructure! June 30 hit and I needed a place to go. Found Lemmy. Found Connect for Lemmy. I don’t know if this is the future for a Reddit-like service, but I’m pleased to see some real activity and I’m glad to be a part.
I see this upcoming election will be the final one. Nice work.
