Big Floppy Slams San Francisco

Seriously though, trying to understand a detail about how this all works (anyone free to answer). Does each additional user to a smaller instance indirectly help flesh out the available content on that user’s instance?

As in, more total users -> more total community/magazine subs by those users --> more federated content becomes visible to the instance’s newest joiners after that?

Unless I’m misunderstanding how it works. If that’s correct, then the benefit of each additional user would be most visible the fewer the instance’s current users, and then eventually level out as more users join and the most popular remote communities/magazines are subbed by local users.

I mention this because I’ve occasionally browsed other instances during brief outages on my home instance. At those times I noticed that while the default feeds (not logged in) across instances looked mostly the same, some of the smaller ones were missing some fun/interesting magazines that the others were showing.

P.S. I don’t think this was due to defederations but who knows.

Hey! Not in my back yard!

Well there’s no way they didn’t know what to expect!

I read a while ago that humans probably have ants out-chonked since some time ago when we started gaining weight as a population.

Had to check back on this since that little factoid has stuck with me since reading it.

Per this journal from 2022, https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2201550119

Integrating data from all continents and major biomes, we conservatively estimate 20 × 1015 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass.

Because if there’s anything worth getting scientific about, it’s us vs the ant horde.

Fedia’s been great.

There are a handful of other choices, too: https://joinmbin.org/

Oh nice!

Maybe helpful to some people who land on this thread: current list of mbin instances

I don’t think it was meant to be an insult to lemmy.world or its users. The post you’re replying to is just pointing out some contradiction between a user agreeing with the need to spread out on the fediverse, while doing so by posting from one of the most stacked instances.

House Bolton approves

Agree and just to add to this: the official list of mbin instances

ProtonDB is a pretty helpful site to gauge the compatibility of any given game. Users report their own hardware, distro, and Proton version(s) tried, along with a summary of how well it all worked.

This is why you’re the doctor.
