Same. The OP article is interesting, but was hoping for more than a few wiki links of past instances. Is there more verifiable evidence for this instance? Don’t doubt the claim, just curious.

Would be helpful to compare fleet sizes, how many accidents per total flights. Total accidents doesn’t mean much without a comparison of either those stats.

Absolutely agree. I’d argue Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious is one of the greatest albums of all time. And that came out in 2002, eight years after Illmatic. Blazing Arrow is such a seamless and well thought out album from start to finish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazing_Arrow

The article mentions “Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment”. https://www.alliance4creativity.com/

Looks like a group that takes down piracy websites.

I assume MPA refers to “The Motion Picture Association”. They keep changing their name: “The MPA, originally called the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) and later the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)”, then abbreviated to MPA.

Just clarifying the abbreviations since it isn’t really explained/articulated in the article.

A bit misleading but yes, 1000km is what they are talking about. Also the article doesn’t address scalability.

Voyager is very similar to RIF. I’d recommend it highly.

Thanks for the information! I’ll look into it, sorry for my ignorance on the dev, just wasn’t aware of it.

No worries. I try to stay informed but there are to many projects to keep up. Keep us updated on the progress if you can, but an individual dev might lack the manpower for such an endeavor. All the best thought, am always happy to see any foss projects moving forward!

Neither your post or the link for the fundraising even says what the project is or what it does. I assume it’s a foss browser or Operating system (maybe), but there is a lack of information upfront. I could look it up, but as of now I’m not sure why if a simple explanation could be added to either. Firefox is my go-to browser, if this could be a better fork or alternative I’d like to know that before funding any project. Also, 12k seems like a lot more than what is tallied in the costs, but good luck to the dev/project!

Sure, but I feel like there is still fluctuation and more often than not a varying degree of activity and posts that it makes it hard to stick to just one (identical) community for now. I’m sure it’ll settle over time though.

That’s pretty cool, I haven’t tried out Kbin yet, might have to check it out!

Same, on many topics. How would I know which community will have the most activity, or none at all. It’s my biggest issue here. Not a deal breaker, but annoying.

Why couldn’t one of the communities abandoned just be dropped from the ‘group’ then. Or have Moderators from several communities work together to moderate a larger one. They are still federated, just working together. If one becomes obsolete, defederate it or let it be. Why should I have to be subscribed to the same topic several times to find the discussion?

That’s a fair point, but one wins out usually, where with the lemmy numbers they seem to remain split with the smaller communities.

I’ve been on lemmy for several months now and most communities are completely split and activity on any given ‘news topic’ (as an example) varies widely on 0-50+ comments for the same topic popping up on the feed from several identical communities from varying instances. (Which is why grouping might be an alternative solution)

I was just addressing my concerns with Lemmy, for now. One of my suggestions (grouping communities) is one that could solve some of the issues with op’s questions.

I don’t feel like that answered the op question. As an example, every general ‘gaming’ instance that is federated can see each other, so I subscribe to every one I can find, but then I get some posts four times in a row (or more) with varying activity. (Hence the split community point).

I wish communities could be grouped in some way.

Either they go by the wayside or take control of a topic as of now.

Also, what if I’m subscribed to the community that isn’t the active one, I have to constantly find new ones to keep up instead of just my feed for that topic?

Edit: part of growing the community has to be ease of access to content, that still seems limited on lemmy, for now

I never used Twitter actively but used it for announcements and live events happening. Now when I go to a page for updates it shows me (maybe?) the most active tweets from the past. For example, I’ll check the MLS page for game delays, the MLS page will have the post of a delay on their site, but if I go to the MLS Twitter it just shows posts from years ago about some goal that is so irrelevant for what I am looking for. I could list many other examples of how useless it has become…
