This appears to be a duckduckgo bug. Peertube shows up in ddg for me, but I've had a few simple searches that randomly gives no results in ddg. I usually switch to ecosia when ddg gives no results.
To be fair, "cis" comes from latin which means "on the same side of," in contrast to "trans" which means "on the other side of."
Why use that instead of non-trans? I don't know, but yeah, I don't think the word is a slur.
I thought I was in furry_irl. But why not, why wouldn't I upvote a post with cute dogs.
People feel that "cis" is a slur because it puts them on equal footing with trans people.
They prefer to consider themselves "normal" while "trans" people the weird ones whom can only be labelled with anything other than "normal." Being called "cis" makes them feel as if they can also be labelled as something other than "normal."
Given how little activities there are on most lemmy posts, I usually comment everytime I find a post worth commenting.
I usually decide whether to comment or not based on comment count instead of time. I'll happily comment on weeks or months old post if it only had one or two comments, but skip over hours old post if it already has plenty of comments.

Did you know that in terms of-
I'm not exactly the oldest fur around, but I've been a furry for a long time and there's many advice I could've given to younger me.
I have a few, but it mostly boils down to: don't make being a furry a big deal. Just relax.
More specifically:
- Being a furry is just a hobby. You don't need to "come out" as a furry or tell anyone. And in most cases, there's nothing wrong with your friends knowing that you're a furry, it's not a shameful secret you need to hide as if it's a fetish (just don't let your future employers know). Use a furry wallpaper or furry profile picture if you want to and where it's appropriate. Of course, with furries being generally seen in negative lights, some caution need to be exercised, and some people may treat you being a furry very badly. Use your own judgement, but for the most part, it's less of a big deal than I expected.
- Don't worry about all the hatred. Younger me have seen so many furry hate comments, especially around the "gamers vs furries" time, that she wanted to quit the fandom out of fear. But really, all those hate comments are mostly made by children trying to look cool by attacking a punching bag. It's mostly empty threats. Just ignore the haters and trolls making fun of you for being a furry and bee yourself. Don't let fear consume you.
- Don't worry about how unique your fursona is. Younger me was afraid that her fursona is not unique enough or that someone might have a similar looking fursona, but I don't care now. Your fursona should reflect what you like, not what is the most unique. If you'd prefer a vanilla looking fursona, that's fine. If you'd like your fursona to be a polar bear with purely white fur, go ahead. You don't need to add additional pattern to make it more stand out, unless that's really what you want.
- Fursona can be changed anytime, so don't worry about picking the wrong one. Explore around and try out fursona designs you'd like. If you already have a fursona but want to change it, that's fine. But be aware that any art or fursuits made for your old fursona won't magically change to your new ones, so do take deep consideration about your fursona before making an expensive art commission or a fursuit.
That's all I can say for now.
Also, on every instance, there is a link called 'instance'. It contains information about which lemmy instance is federated and banned by your instance.
Someone, if I'm not mistaken, have made something to help convert any reddit client to a lemmy client. I don't remember though...
If you use firefox, you can use extensions to add any lemmy instances as a search engine options. Then, simply add an @ shortcut to the lemmy search engine options, and you'll have the ddg equivalent of bangs in your firefox search bar.
Firefox does allow you to change search engine straight from the search bar by typing @ shortcut. An example of this by default, typing @ddg on firefox makes you search with duckduckgo instead of your default search engine.
Keep in mind that you have to type the shortcut on the searchbar first, before typing anything else.
I have an idea, but I'll be honest, I don't know the difficulty of this idea. For back end & front end: The ability to sort communities into groups (similar to multireddit).
I also wonder how we'll implement all the changes on pawb.social to existing apps such as jerboa. While pawb should still be usable through the apps, features that don't exist upstream probably won't be available on the app either. We could fork these apps, but that would take too much resources.
