Eh, I think Lemmy has reached a critical mass of users to sustain itself in terms of content in the long term. Every misstep that Reddit takes will bring about more migrations, and the platform is on its way to form its own identity. It’s wait and see, at this point.

My main concern is complying to GDPR-like regulations, given that federation means that the content in each instance may be stored elsewhere in a more permanent way, compared to a centralised service like Reddit. This might threaten Lemmy and Kbin in the future, I think.

I think it happens whenever someone interacts with a post. So someone must’ve been browsing the community by top or something like that and upvoted or downvoted the post. This pushed it into active or hot.

Just a guess, though.

Makes one wonder how many use their Steam Deck and know it runs linux by default

I’d actually suggest using Quad9 DNS.

Uh, what is this?

Speaking as someone who used Infinity for Reddit.

Liftoff, until Slide is ready and better than Liftoff

I think not having karma tells the user that they don’t have to care about posting the “right” things. This is better, as I think the karma system of Reddit promoted conformity, as people wanted to gamify their experience on the site, and even created a weird economy of people selling high karma accounts to advertisers or whoever wanted karma for whatever reason.

So yeah, I prefer not having visible karma.
