Trying to decide which anxiety DDC to look at first would give me anxiety lol.

I had to look it up:

152.4 Psychology > Perception, movement, emotions, drives > Emotions and feelings

155.5 Psychology > Perception, movement, emotions, drives > Psychology of young adults

616.8 Medical sciences and medicine > Diseases > Diseases of the nervous system and mental disorders

There are domains you can register privately, if that’s a concern.

The main advantage is not having an admin block you from talking to certain people by defederating the instance they use.

This guy is being reasonable, get the pitchforks!

Nothing is private on the fediverse, and Mastodon’s bodge only gives the illusion of privacy. There should be zero expectation that any fediverse software will follow their non-standard extensions.

What happened? Why did github block them?

Loving the fact that [email protected] exists 😄

It demonstrates that nothing on the fediverse is private, and bad hacks that pretend otherwise are a terrible idea.

There’s easily over a thousand fediverse instances at this point, having to whitelist them all would be impractical.

Some forum software is starting to support activitypub with plugins. If they add the plugin then you can follow and interact with the forum from Lemmy. The best option for everyone is to start pestering forum admins to add those plugins so they get users and Lemmy gets more content.

Long term creating migration scripts for popular forum software like phpBB, so content, users, etc, can be moved to a custom Lemmy instance would be an option.

Helium was interesting, but they locked it down so you can only use their proprietary hardware for access points, it seems kinda scammy.

IPFS is used by several archive projects like Anna’s archive and libgen.

Meshtastic is a distributed local mesh network for text messaging.

Thanks, hadn’t seen that one before

https://sub.rehab/ is also good.

Use the “manifold” engine, it’s far, far, faster.

I’ve added it to related communities in the sidebar of [email protected]

If anything it’s the opposite. They want user retention so they have an incentive to show you people that won’t work long term.

I do the opposite use a cheap dehydrator to dehydrate my filament. I don’t own a filament dryer, because I bought the dehydrator before commercial filament dryers existed, so I can’t comment on the inverse.

There’s nothing you can do for profile data, public key encryption is an option for DMs.

Every app is a dating app if you use it wrong enough.

Neat, shame it doesn’t work if you feed it a category link though.

One of the advantages of votes being public is that it keeps instance owners honest and, perhaps more importantly, means they know other instance owners are honest.

If they weren’t public it would be easy to modify your lemmy instance to send 10 votes with fake hashes for every real vote. There would be constant accusations of brigading and faking votes.
