I remember being a small child posting to forums I had no business posting to, asking obnoxious questions about building websites or talking in IRC.

I remember always expecting a response that wasn't very happy with me. You have to start somewhere right?

This is awesome. Choice is always king! Competition means better products. This is going to be fun.

Yeah, I definitely agree that open communities was/is a mistake. If a server is that large, it should be admin only. They can always run polls to gauge interest before making new communities.

Communities are the biggest problem. One solution would be to make community names more like a federation signature that only allows one community to have that exact name. Example: if lemmy.world has a community called !AITA, and you try to make a community on beehaw with the same !AITA name, it would not allow it and say "sorry that community name has already been registered by another instance".

Of course, the major issue with this idea is that one could defederate with lemmy.world, in this example, and make the community name anyway, then refederate. Who would keep the name? That's why I don't think this solution is ideal, but it's fun to share ideas and something to think about.

Why wait? Can't you just deploy now and upgrade when .18 hits?

Ha! Love it when people post troubleshooting in real time. I have both undetermined and english selected, so I don't think that's it.

I've seen you pop up twice now in the verse and I had to stop and tell you your username is awesome!!

Hi from the west coast best coast!

I used to occasionally watch reruns on Fox when I was a kid, but I never have taken the time to watch it fully like this. It's fun trying to predict what year the episodes came out by the pop culture references :)

Right now, I think Season 4 came out in 1994. Haven't looked it up and won't until I finish watching the season.

I just watched Mr. Plow!!! Loved the story between Homer and Barney and found it hilarious that Marge wanted Homer to keep the jacket on in bed

Happy to say I haven't come across them yet

Are you talking about, subscribing? Subscribe to all of the communities you want and then sort by subscribed on your home page. If you want to folow a community that isn't on your instance, copy and paste the link to that community in your instance's search box and subscribe to it from there.

haha I'm gonna have to remember this one when I get to season 8. Thanks for sharing!!
