Because there are only a handful of communities that have enough traffic to sustain a meaningful conversation.

Even popular activities have low traffic, god forbid you want to participate in a community based around a niche activity.

I love Lemmy and I'm not going back to reddit... But sometimes it feels like a desolate wasteland here.

Today in things that never happened: whatever the fuck this post is.

Nobody liked Biden.
Did you get offended because someone argued for critical support in the absence of choice??? You're acting like a butthurt baby.

The opposite of a captcha. Making sure that ONLY bots can enter.

I'm kind of tired of social networks offering even the pretense of privacy. Just loudly proclaim that everything is public but clients can filter out shit you don't wanna see.

I've asked and never gotten a firm answer on appropriate crossposting etiquette. Sometimes something applies to multiple communities, and when it does do you you:

  • post it in each community.
  • post it in one community and share that post to the other communities.
  • stfu and only post the one place.

Who knows???

It needs to be 2. Otherwise all the people will materialize inside eachother. In fact, everyone will be deposited onto the 2-dimensional pane of the blue portal itself, like an infinitely thing coat of paint, absolutely smearing them.

Think about it. As your fingertips enter the orange portal, they materialize at the entrance of the blue portal. Then your wrist enters the orange portal, where does it materialize at the blue portal?

  • If your fingers shift to make room, then that has imparted momentum and it's option B.
  • If you continue to materialize on the other side of the portal like a mirror image, then for all intents and purposes the blue portal is also moving at the same speed as the orange portal, even if orange ring appears still.
  • If your fingertips don't have momentum and your wrist materializes at the portal, then your wrist is occupying the same space as your fingertips. Congratulations, you're now a paste.

For whatever reason I feel more willing to break conservation of momentum than I am to
