So tangentially to the post, I guess the implied question is: when will Lemmy see another explosion in its userbase.

And to that...I don't know.

I've been trying to get away from reddit for a while and the problem with Lemmy is two fold

  1. Very minor: it requires me to unblock cloudflare when I'm using noscript

  2. More major, I still don't have an intuitive understanding of how lemmy works. On reddit if I was interested in knitting, going to old.reddit.com/r/knitting would be a good starting point.

I'm still confused about multiple instances, why bifurcate the community (are there multiple instances of knitting communities on lemmy?).

I (perhaps foolishly) consider myself slightly above average in terms of tech literacy; if I'm this confuse I do wonder how are others going to fare.

Just a reminder the Trump tried to organize a coup against Venezuela the last time he was in office (John Bolton, the national security advisor, said so in an interview)

It was a soft coup in the guise of that guy: Juan Guido.

He popped out of nowhere, months (maybe even a year) after Venezuela's elections, with the US supporting him as the legitimate winner. And because the US does it, so do all the puppet European states.

It was really confusing episode to me at the time. Only when Bolton's interview came out did it make sense to me.
