I vote for the dang trees. I like trees.

Well they do have their own instance: feddit.is

I believe many instances defederate lemmynsfw.com simply because instance admins don’t want that legal responsibility and don’t have tools to keep an eye on it.

It’s been there for quite a long time though, just incase people here were not aware.

I actually like that idea! (As a non-dbzer0 user). But a separate community might be too much at this point considering no one has made a comment about it. How about posts in this community with a specific “tag”? [MEGATHREAD] or something?

Just my two cents added to your suggestion.

Not really no, I haven’t bumped into any issues using the community wiki megathread so far.

My question was prompted by me accidentally using a old bookmark that took me to rentry and noticed that it had seen updates very recently and compared to lemmy community wiki which seemed like it has not been updated since october. I started wondering whether the links were still all fine and there was no need to update them, or was it simply mostly abandoned and do people rather use rentry?

I personally prefer the lemmy community edition, but I’m such a noob when it comes to piracy that I put maybe too much trust into the megathread and this was just a wake up call to double check what am I clicking on and thought maybe asking the community about the state of the wiki wasn’t a bad idea.

Yeah with the “old megathread upkept by reddit’s piracy community” I mean that one and noticed that it is getting more edits than the community one here.

Wanted to basically know whether the lemmy community megathread is basically unmaintained and should I just use the rentry one. I really like the idea of lemmy community megathread, but I feel like if it is not maintained it might be more of a hazard. But I’m no expert and wanted a community discussion about this.

Edit: wanted to add that this is a pirate community afterall, would be of no shame to … pirate rentry megathread to lemmy community wiki every once in awhile, har har har

This is cool, you can even request the reminder to be sent to your DM! (Add “dm” between remindbots name-pinging and time)

Holy shit! Nice!

And haven’t noticed instance specific influx but recently there are a lot of users posting/commenting that have the “baby badge” on Voyager app, meaning the account is new. Feel like this influx of new users already started last week.

Haven’t been on reddit since I deleted my account during the blackouts / API fiasco and man, Lemmy/Fediverse has been fun.

Hey now don’t forget us at [email protected]

Yeah. I love Signal but it doesn’t belong in that list. Dansup (creator of loops and pixelfed) is apparently working on “Sup” that will be a decentralized alternative to whatsapp.

PIVOT

I just want to comment that I am so sorry that you had to endure all that. Fuck that guy.

People preparing xmas gifts and planning for holidays?

I prefer to say “stretch the truth”. This is more common than a lot of people realize.

There is always someone getting paid more who doesn’t exactly qualify - or worse, doesn’t even try anymore.

As many people have said in the thread, it’s all about who you know. “Networking” is more important than skills in many industries.

Definitely, good way to put it.

I switched from controls engineering to information technology - in industrial automation interviews not once was I asked to prove my knowledge about PLCs or anything like that, they trusted my education and experience.

The interviews in information technology were like “make us a working app for free before we have a second round of interviews” even after few years of previous experience in their specific field and a repository to show off my free-time projects.

I switched because I got tired of traveling, but holy shit I miss the job market of industrial automation. I still feel like I got more respect working in automation field than I have ever gotten working as a software developer.

I have just the book for you!.. Ah, finish in a day, nevermind.

That’s a very interesting way to end up here, welcome!

Agreed, but I must admit I haven’t dug deeper so I have no clue.

IIRC lemmy.ml is the showcase server for lemmy software as a whole, so the organizations and individual donors who fund lemmy development also fund lemmy.ml

They mention the bigger donors here

Might be pulling this out of my ass, but I recall that one of the platinum donors gets their money to fund open-source software from EU.
