Is there a particular product that you have in mind as an example?

Why plastic washers instead of springs? Is the bed sagging due to the washers deforming with heat?

Wait so what was the trick to save time and filament? Just rotating the part to use fewer supports?

I know this is answer is overdone at this point, but a pretty good chunk of Brandon Sanderson's books are this.

Wait, Gormenghast has Science fiction? When does that show up? I only read the first book so far and don't remember a lot.

Is there a way hide a specific community from showing up in my "all" feed? For example, there are communities in different languages that I don't need. I'm hesitant to just "Block community" in case this somehow affects other users, the same way "subscribe" causes remote communities to start showing up in everyones' feeds here.

I'm wondering if this is a bug or not:

When I open up the VLemmy home page, I see in the side panel a list of "trending communities", such as arknights. However when I open the community, there are zero posts, zero users per month, and only 2 subscribers. Are posts just not showing up, or is the "trending" measurement not what I think it means?

Oh interesting. Kosher is a whole market I didn't even think of with Beyond Meat.

Is cultured meat considered "real meat" or "kosher" for your purposes? (I hope I'm using the term correctly)

When I subscribe to a remote community and we become federated with that instance for the first time, does the whole remote instance and all it's communities start showing up in all for everyone on our instance? Or just the one community?

If I see a URL like this, I, and.... polling my coworkers here..... All 52 coworkers on my group chat would say these are highly suspicious and would not click on them. I imagine this is the general consensus for internet-savvy people.

  • I'm happily reading a post on Reddit, and see a link like that: clearly dangerous.
  • I'm happily reading a post on Lemmy, and see a link like that: probably dangerous, but possibly a Lemmy instance? Impossible to tell. I want to read Lemmy, not whatever "stoneclub" is.

It would be great if links to remote Lemmy instances had some kind of styling applied; a little icon, etc., that would make it clear this link is within the fediverse.

What is this mysterious way to donate you speak of?

[–] calculuschild@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

While I agree more hosting should be encouraged, as the OP says, new instance admins will be an extremely small subset of users, and if they have the motivation and technical skill to run a new Lemmy instance, they will self-select to seek out the information to do so (on a different page, perhaps?)

The unfortunate truth is the average person is going to be immediately intimidated and turned off of Lemmy when the impression is that you have to run a whole server just to comment on some memes.

Leave the technical details to the power users; don't force it on unsuspecting Reddit or refugees who just want cat pictures.
