You don’t get any dumb TVs in my country anymore. I’d assume its the same everywhere else unless you’re going back a minimum 5 years of tech evolution, which might not be all too bad.

Great explanation, thanks for the write up! I have a couple of questions, if I may.

• So if I setup my own instance tomorrow, it’d be sending notifications of activity to all the other instances? Maybe I’d have to have a list of instances I’d like to notify? How does it discover the other instances?

• If my instance is listening to all other instances? Won’t saving all posts take up a lot of disk space? I guess there is only text and link data and no media, but wouldn’t it add up fast as the number of users/instances grow ?

For real? Most of the frontpage of lemmy seems to be filled with memes and news about reddit, both of which I don’t care about. Of course, I had curated my reddit feed over time and seems like it will take time to do the same over here.
