As far as I’m concerned I’m not a grown up until I have a washing machine and dishwasher of my own.

I’ll be honest, I think I understood three words of your OP. Sounds like the general gist though is Woo so great 😃

Thanks for all your efforts, glad someone knows what they’re doing

Not sure if you’ve seen the various Reddit cross posting bots but the threads they post aren’t very active. I think people see that it’s a bot and switch off.

By the nature of the community though there will obviously be questions on here that have been asked on other platforms. I think it’s mainly about trying to keep this place active and let it develop its own vibe (for lack of a better word)

It’s that new colony optimism

Good point. I know SEO isn’t the be all and end all in a federated world, but if we do want this place to grow we do have to make it easy to find.

Both ‘Lemmy’ and ‘kbin’ aren’t the most memorable names

Oh good that’s promising. Ultimately this platform generally is only going to work en masse if everyone tries to work with each other. I know they don’t have to necessarily, but it’s nice to get along

I was going to say that I wish there was a decentralised way of sending messages… And then I remembered text messaging is a thing.

Incredible how quickly these things become embedded in everyday life

Yeah I agree. They’ve been quite open about everything so far and their main issue was the modding implications of open sign up. The tools just don’t exist yet to manage it effectively and keep the kind of community they want, so it’s just easier to defederate for now until they do. They have a dialogue open with shit just works and said that the admin of lemmy.world hasn’t replied to their message, but that it’s fine if they don’t want to talk too.

I am a bit disappointed that inter-instance sniping has started so early though. I personally am on both instances and am going to try and treat both in good faith for now
