You’re welcome!

For curiosity, where did you advertise the community? In the “new communities”/“find a community” communities? In music-related communities? Or both?

Yes, you could create a community on reddthat (if that server allows for new communities to be created and hasn’t disabled that feature).

No, they don’t need to be all related. A server admin likely would tell you “hey please don’t create this one here, because this server’s focus is xy”.

I mean, that redirection then needs to work. At the moment, nobody in the Movie/TV communities is redirecting me to a specific TV show community saying “hey this exists, you can also post there”. Etc etc.

That popup idea is something that could work, and something that one could suggest on Lemmy’s github for implementation.

Your instance does need to know about these communities existing first though. For recently created communities on another instance that might not be the case. Which is where services like Lemmy Explorer help.

Implementing mastodon.social instead of proper Mastodon, implementing no other fedi software – this scheduler has much potential/work ahead

No. I have blocked a few specific lemmy.ml communities but I don’t generally avoid interacting with lemmy.ml.

There are other instances I have blocked completely (a certain grad).

Fyi @[email protected] I have crossposted the meme to [email protected] where the audience might be a bit more appreciative of seeing memes :D

Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use “Person” instead of “Group”. But idk the technical details for that.

3,5% milk is also the standard milk here in central europe and it says so on the packaging. People call it simply “milk”, but it clearly says 3,5% milk on the branding.

Depends on the context. If it is written/talked about in a geographic context, it will usually mean “the Americas”. If it’s in a political context, it will mean “the USA”.

Keep on mind that reputable news outlets won’t use “Amerika” when referring to the US however, they will use “Vereinigte Staaten” (United States). “Amerika” as a term for the US is very much a colloquial thing.

I have no TV. I watch all my movies and series via a big PC screen which has no TV functionality.

So you mean, thematically focused on the fediverse? Or able to listen to over the fediverse?

Linear TV over an antenna? Well that’s only technically free. You’d need to buy a receiving device - that costs money. You need to watch ads - that costs time.

I imagine that HR at some multicountry conglomerate is not your friend. In the middle-sized companies I have worked at HR has been quite supporting when needed. Of course it is also a question of what kind of stuff they are responsible for. For example, bullying is not an HR topic here, there are specific other people for that.

Given how other impactful contributors to the ActivityPub spec have been presenting their work in public vs how Evan does it, one can certainly get the impression that he is a bit self centered, yeah.
