How do I find the lowest ping Lemmy instance?
  • It doesn’t? Something with 1000ms is going to be less responsive than 100ms geographically closer, though I don’t know how much it varies.

    I assume that me, being the the US, will have a significant enough high ping by being on an instance that’s hosting in Finland. I never used the wrong terminology, just was asking about how to find the lowest ping — I only said I was trying to find the lowest ping because lemmy.world’s servers are shutting the bed. I can see where the extrapolation comes from though, didn’t make it clear enough.

  • How do I find the lowest ping Lemmy instance?

    I joined Lemmy a few days ago under the lemmy.world instance and want to keep it as my main instance, but it’s being pretty laggy.

    I don’t have access to a computer to ping each instance so am wondering if there’s a mobile way to do so.

    Do you guys think this is the start of something bigger?
  • Same — after seeing how similar it could be to Apollo (thanks wefwef), I got very excited to be a part of a greater movement towards a defederated platform, especially as I learned more about it.

    It’s like being a part of a giant email server that large corporations don’t have minute detail controlled to maximize profit.

  • What is the relationship between mastodon and lemmy.world
  • They are on the same "network", but that only means they use the same format to exchange messages. It does not mean that they work well together. The Lemmy UI is much better suited for posts with large discussion threads.

    Basically you can treat them as separate for all intents and purposes.

  • The Reddit moderators who coordinate many celebrity AMAs will no longer do so
  • Yeah exactly — Reddit hasn’t been profitable ever. Probably explains why they fired the person who actually was hired to do celebrity AMAs and leaving it to volunteers. Celebrity AMAs are probably one of the better ways to attract attention, but of course are pretty expensive.

  • Forbidden results
  • People are fucking weird — cameras in bedrooms and across the house for kids/teenagers that aren’t babies, using tracking apps like Life360 to watch every minute of their teenager’s life, as if they weren’t unsurveilled teens doing their own mischevious shit, tapping into their search history, looking through their private conversations with friends, and probably a million more things.

    Being a kid under a helicopter parent in this technological era must fucking suck.

  • Do you guys think this is the start of something bigger?
  • Yea the internet definitely has taken that trend to the extreme in recent years, especially with businesses which don’t make their own websites anymore and host their social media on platforms like Facebook; of course along with individual communities slowly being herded into the corporate mega forum that is Reddit. Definitely not healthy to have all our human interaction/information controlled by these entities especially as we move into the age of artificial intelligence.

  • Russians cremate their dead without keeping record to not pay compensation � General Staff
  • Yea there were already earlier reports of this so no surprise here. Imagine not only dying for a useless war, but your government covers up your death and countless others to avoid paying your family some scraps of useless rubles.

  • Do you guys think this is the start of something bigger?
  • I don’t think it’s the content — there’s already Reddit reposting bots available. It’s the lack of comments which makes Lemmy feel more lonely/less active. I wonder what the average non-bot comment count is for most posts on r/all

  • Deleted

  • Hate to break it to ya but that’s just your UI from whatever app you’re using; you definitely have a “karma” score / upvote score, currently at 47 comment upvotes total.

    I’ve been using Lemmy and learning the ropes of the Fediverse and I’m really impressed - especially using wefwef which has replicated my Apollo experience very well.

    There are posts and everything, just a lack of comments to read for hours on end is the only issue I have, but I believe that with more users this really could be the replacement.

    Are you guys thinking the same thing? Is there evidence yet that Reddit is slowly failing and power users are migrating?
