I know it doesn’t make sense, but can’t blame the guy, he probably went to school in Florida

Sweden’s response:

This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.

What? Can’t they get defederated if it’s this obvious?

what, for real? I thought it had a porthole or something

Is doing this actually necessary? In practice, it seems like latency is not going to significantly affect your usage of Lemmy. 50ms versus 300ms matters in gaming but not so much in a web browser. It feels like downtime and error rates are the actual data you want, but on the other hand, too many people hammering Lemmies to get this information would have the reverse effect of pushing some of them over load.

I’ve never understood the need to militantly oppose others’ personal situations when they have no impact on your own. Even playing devil’s advocate - what is the point of the hate? You don’t believe in gender identity, then don’t personally be trans. The fact that others may be would seem to have literally zero impact on you or your life. Why should Lemmy accommodate negativity that does real harm to people in sensitive circumstances?

🤔

I’m torn between boycotting it and taking a peek at the dumpster fire 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t think it’s that as I see posts from other users there. Just seems like some kind of sync issue or delay (?). Everyone else seems to be on pretty tame Lemmy instances like Beehaw, and at any rate I see your comment ;)

For instance, when I look at the list of comments on this thread sorted by both Hot and New, directly on Lemmy.ml versus on my home instance of Lemmy.pt, I don’t see the same set of comments. Not all of the ones from Lemmy.ml appear to have made it over to my instance. Is there some sort of eventual consistency mechanism in the system?

One question I still have is how quickly posts and comments propagate across the Fediverse. How can I be sure the comment I’m writing actually shows up across other instances, and how long after I write it does it take on average to show up other places?

Yea I am wondering the same thing as I mentioned in another comment. Some common communities like “gaming” or “news” are sure to appear on all the different Lemmies around the globe. It would be nice to have a feature to be able to subscribe to “gaming@everywhere”. If someone has figured out a way to do that, please let me know!

This is one that I think is a miss. How do we reconcile there being a separate distinction between say, !gaming@beehaw.org versus !gaming@lemmy.ml versus !gaming@lemmy.pt and so on. I get that they’re different “locations” in the fediverse, but really as a user I’d want an aggregate view where I can look at “gaming@everywhere” if that makes sense.

Just curious, what’s the point of having an account at multiple? I was under the impression you could use one anywhere to use it everywhere.
