Lemmy’s markdown does actually have footnotes!^[1]

Mastodon also has the benefit that other platforms try their best to federate with it

Honestly, could be an interesting idea for an instance

What I think would be cool is following hashtags from Lemmy, or a.gup.pe groups

Is Tumblr still planning on joining? That would be huge

The culture’s a bit too reddit-like for my taste, but it’s alright and some communities are better about it

I don’t even see footnotes in the documentation^[1], but they can be pretty useful. It’s ^[text], in case others are curious.

There’s also something that looks like pink Morse code, near the top

I prefer to frame it as an HR opportunity

You’re getting a lot of downvotes in this thread, are people trying to be funny or am I missing something

At least on Lemmy, defederating is also a way of banning all the instance’s users from your communities. If you’re constantly banning one instance’s users and their admins seem fine with it, there’s really no other way.

If you’re defederating a lot, most of it will be tiny instances you got from some blocklists, so I don’t know if this really says much

That + mostly sticking to my subscriptions (coincidentally, none of them tech or politics) makes it feel like I’m on a completely different Lemmy

Anecdotally, the communities I’m interested in are getting more active in a way that seems sustainable (as opposed to last year, when it was a always a single person posting some, getting no responses, and leaving). I’m pretty positive about the state of Lemmy and the wider threadiverse.

In the German sentence “Ruf mich an.”, the “Ruf an” is one word (call) while mich is another word (me).

They’re both parts of the verb anrufen but I’ve never heard someone say they’re still a single word when there’s a space (or more) inbetween

Similarly, it looks like a.gup.pe groups don’t work here even though they’re basically just communities

Would make sense too, they don’t use default Gmail either. Some other governments have Mastodon instances

Instead of defederating all of lemmy.ml, just blocking that one comm could be an option

It’s like the darkest pattern. Making it so that quitting has to be a conscious choice. I see why amoral companies would use it, don’t know why FOSS would too.

That easily accessible list exists, at least. For you it’s part of lemm.ee/instances
