Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).

I'm not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state

They could be legit users, FWIW, and just not understanding Lemmy enough to know what an "instance" is. Nowhere else on the internet (except Mastodon) is it a "thing" to have different instances of the same site iteracting.

Half of my comments are about Lemmy not being ready yet, or a viable alternative to Reddit. It's not a "big lie". I'm currently relying on the hover-over text to know where the icons are, brcause they're not loading for some reason. I'm confident that decentralised social media will never take off, brcause the point of social media is to bring people together rather than stick them on different servers.

Been trying to find an open source speaker designing program and so far they all suck

NSFW Reddit is the worst these days. Nothing but onlyfans ads

Are any office suites as good as MS Office for referencing and citations? One of the things that keeps my wife stuck on windows/macOS is the need for a good Office suite for university

Australia: Very unusual. I'll see someone doing it maybe once a month and always think "fucking weirdos". It's more common to see Aboriginal flags, but still uncommon

It's more common to see bogans using it as part or their beach or BBQ attire (eg, maybe an Australian flag stubby cooler)

 
  • I log into my instance (lemmy.ml) and click a post on the front page that's hosted on another lemmy instance (eg lemmy.world).

  • I post a comment, which works fine, becase it opens within a container in lemmy.ml, where I'm registered

  • I get a reply which open in my inbox.

  • I go to inbox and click "show context", to know what comment chain I'm replying to.

  • Now I'm bounced to a different instance and can't reply in an instance tha I'm not registered in

Is there any way to handle this? To view the comment chain without being bounced to a post that you can't reply to, despite posting on it earlier?

Good as dead then.

Usually there'll be freeleech files or freeleech days etc. This alows you to download without affecting your ratio.

Download a heap of freeleech content ans seed it 24/7. I was on a porn tracker and downloaded a few 20gb site-rips on freeleech. If 5 people download the full site off me, that's 100gb of ratio.

Try download some big files that you'll be one of the few seeds of after a while. If you only download content with 2000 seeders then you'll never get a good ratio, but if you can download some full TV series on freeleech then people will occaisionally want to watch the show and you can seed it to them

Over on Mastodon I'm at mastodon.world purely because it's the most generic sounding instance and I don't particularly want to have my whole identity to be defined by where I live or the operating system that I use or whatever

Currently users of Lemmy are "power users". The fact that power users can't even work out how to use Lemmy 'properly' is sign of its future

I'm still on Reddit. I have no emotional connection to any social media platform, so I'm not personally offended by the actions of Reddit's management. I use whatever platform provides the most entertainment, which in the future might be both Lemmy and Reddit
