I wasn’t expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can’t sort by ‘hot’ anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven’t used it since the switch over and I don’t miss it.

This isn’t a meme
It’s gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.
Depends on the city. In my city, you could walk across the whole thing in maybe an hour, and anything major the furthest you would have to walk is about 30 minutes.
Remember when the Oculus first came out, and people said in a few years that VR would get cheaper? Those people didn’t anticipate Apple.
Is it possible to make Lemmy (the system as a whole) able to be compatible with horizontally scaling instances? I don’t see why an instance has to be confined to one server, and this would allow for very large instances that can scale to meet demand.
Edit: just seen your other comment https://lemmy.ml/comment/453391
Are you a Lemmy dev or just vocal here and on github?
Downvoting is just used as a disagree button, not for its original purpose of promoting discourse and hiding comments that don’t add to the conversation.
Any comments that add to the conversation get upvotes. Any that don’t, can be reported and removed. I prefer it that way.
I’m sure you know this, but getting progressively larger servers is not the only way, why not scale horizontally?
I say this as someone with next to no idea how Lemmy works.
As @RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml says, create a distributed index of usernames, and do not allow the same username to be registered twice.
I’d also propose at the same time to create a Discord style username system to avoid potential clashes - if this system is going to become large (mainstream) then eventually available usernames will be hard to choose from.
I agree. I made a post earlier to promote discussion, and it was downvoted more than I expected because people did not agree with the question I guess?
I would still argue that if a post or comment provides useful discourse, it should be upvoted or at the very least, not downvoted.
I’m new here! And proud to be the 100th upvoter of this post. Very impressed with the system from what I have seen so far.
Anything that references prosecco. See: “Come in if you have Prosecco” doormats.
