Some of those instance names are, uh, interesting.

I think GDP in this case, but yeah, same idea. It makes sense that wealthy countries with good infrastructure are going to be high on the list.
Country (nominal GDP rank)
USA (1)
France (7)
Germany (4)
Japan (3)
Finland (47)
Canada (9)
Netherlands (18)
Russia (8)
UK (6)
High-GDP countries that are notably missing are China (2, users are limited by the Great Firewall) and India (5, still building their infrastructure).
I wonder why Finland is so high on the list? Good for them, regardless.
I saw the report and came as fast as I could!
Tangentially related: if you see something that needs to be addressed now, like CSAM or gore, notify an instance admin via Matrix. That tool can send push notifications, so you’re more likely to get a prompt response. Some instances also have public Matrix chats you can use.
You can find the Matrix account info for Lemmy users by clicking the “Send Secure Message” button in a user’s profile.
Mmmm, taffy fingers.
Viewing a Lemmy account’s posts from Mastodon seems to work. Going the other way, viewing a Mastodon account’s toots from Lemmy, does not work.
Pixelfed can see Lemmy and Mastodon accounts, but it does not show the posts or comments from those accounts. The reverse is also true: Lemmy and Mastodon can see Pixelfed accounts but not their content.
At least these were my results the last time I experimented with cross-platform interaction. Maybe there are some tricks I have not learned yet.
For anyone unaware of the the spam issue mentioned in the link, it has been ongoing for a week. Some person or group is generating accounts on open Mastodon instances and spamming crap all over. My instance’s admin bot caught two three new spam accounts while I was typing this post. I know admins at other instances have put similar protections in place.
If you haven’t seen the spam, thank your mods and admins!
Apologies for the duplicate post. I just noticed that someone else posted this two days ago. @kescusay@lemmy.world feel free to nuke this one if you see fit.
Holy cow, happy cake day!
What have the past three years on Lemmy been like for you?
It would be funny if it wasn’t also scary. These people are unhinged.
This looks like the major driver of the project, IMO. The Sublinks roadmap is full of feature ideas geared toward better moderation, both at the community and instance level.
This is even better than I imagined!
Now do Scorpion, but he’s an actual scorpion!
“Riff raff. Street rat.”
I don’t buy that.
If only they’d look closer.
Would they see a poor boy? No sir-ee.
They’d find out I’m black and se-e-xy.
My boomer relatives skipped over DOOM and Wolfenstein and got into Duke Nukem.
It’s ultimately under the umbrella of ideologies that support and prop up capitalism.
I think that’s a good summary.
“Classical liberalism” is basically what modern libertarians want: a laissez-faire capitalist economy, a secular representative government with very limited powers, prioritizing individual freedom over collective well-being, etc.
In my part of the world “liberalism” is now commonly used to refer to a different set of priorities: creating economic safety nets, regulating business, promoting universal healthcare, unions, gender equality, racial equality, etc. Though capitalism and a secular representative government are still part of the mix.
The former fighters found themselves missing the freedom of the front-lines as they adjusted to the mundane nature of office work. Huzaifa, a 24 year-old former sniper, said, “The Taliban used to be free of restrictions, but now we sit in one place, behind a desk and a computer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Life’s become so wearisome; you do the same things every day.”
“In our ministry, there’s little work for me to do,” said Abdul Nafi, 25. “Therefore, I spend most of my time on Twitter. We’re connected to speedy Wi-Fi and Internet. Many mujahedin, including me, are addicted to the Internet, especially Twitter.”
And with a 9-to-5 comes the dreaded commute—and actually having to show up for the job in order to get paid. “What I don’t like about Kabul is its ever-increasing traffic holdups.” Omar Mansur, 32, said. ”These days, you have to go to the office before 8 AM and stay there till 4 PM. If you don’t go, you’re considered absent, and [the wage for] that day is cut from your salary. We’re now used to that, but it was especially difficult in the first two or three months.”
I never thought I would identify so much with the freaking Taliban.
If they looked like Keenan and Damon Wayans this would have serious In Living Color vibes.
It varies greatly depending on your setup.
Lemmy.world’s monthly expenses are around €1,200. Though that includes hosting more services that just Lemmy.

For comparison, it looks like £30 per month for lemmy.zip:

And lemmy.ca is around CAD$30 per month:

At one point Reddthat.com was considering moving to a bigger server that would cost A$150-200 per month:
