As is everyone born between 1965 and 2015, which is quite a few people.

Very well said.

Ah, thanks. Even if it is a bit confusing, it’s cool that they were able to switch out the underlying software without breaking everything. I guess it helps that mbin is a fork of kbin.

also kbin.run and kbin.earth

They’re asking about mbin, not kbin, no?

Wait, did they do something bad? I thought they were just a prolific poster of memes.

And a whopping… 3 servers?

Seems like a cool project though, along with sublinks. Might try them out once they are a bit more stable.

America alone has something like 3.5 BILLION people in it

Username checks out.

Rabbits engage in coprophagy to extract more nutrients using their short digestive tracts. Is this analogous to training ML models on AI-generated output?

Ah, it seems that the loss of this instance is not a huge loss to the fediverse as a whole, then.

I’ve definitely made some new friends during this event. The camaraderie during these events can be vibrant.

Get hyped! Tell your friends and communities!

One problem I have with the crosspost feature is that the body text of the original post is just copied, rather than embedded. If the body text of the original post is edited, any crossposts are not updated. For all of its other shortcomings, I think Reddit’s implementation of crossposts is currently better.

Always a shame when an instance shuts down, but it is nice when the admins are transparent and provide an advanced warning.

I don’t believe I am subscribed to any communities on that instance. Are there any valuable ones which don’t have an alternative on a more stable instance, and have not yet migrated?

Wow, that script is incredible. Thanks for sharing! You’ve saved me several minutes per day!

I love how it adds a button to view the original link as well.

I was confused on what they were trying to accomplish, and even after reading the article I am still somewhat confused.

Instead, when a user posts something, the algorithm automatically reads the content and tags it with relevant interests so it shows up on those pages. Users can turn up the serendipity slider to branch out beyond their stated interests, and the algorithm running the platform connects users with related interests.

Perhaps I’m a minority, but I don’t see myself getting much utility out of this. I already know what my interests are, and don’t have much interest in growing them algorithmically. If a topic is really interesting, I’ll eventually find out about it via an actual human.

Yeah, that’s the name of the character, but not the comic strip.

where we should host the autonomous and self driving technology community and the whole time it was bloody obvious. @lugh@futurology.today can we host it on your instance?

I asked the futurology admins about adding additional communities that fit the futurology theme, but they seem uninterested. I’m not sure why, as having what is essentially a single-community instance seems a bit strange to me, but it’s ultimately their call.

@Lugh@futurology.today and @Espiritdescali@futurology.today, would reconsider increasing the number of communities on your instance, provided they fit the futurology theme?

Eternity and Thunder seem to most of the time, but it occasionally fails, even for non-obscure instances.

*by accident :)

I’m use Lemmy Link by fcuks, but it seems to work only for whole sublemmies, not posts. Is there a browser extension which works for posts as well?
