Interesting context. Thanks for sharing:

$19 billion seems high.

I know it doesn’t make sense, but can’t blame the guy, he probably went to school in Florida

I really like it here. However, almost 90% of my feed is either posts about Reddit, or Lemmy/kbin meta analysis. We need actual content and communities over here! in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.

What? Can’t they get defederated if it’s this obvious?

Could they have handled this whole situation any worse?

What's up with some communities here having [community]@lemmy.world but not just [community] in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
[–] sparky 2 points 1 year ago

It does look like the admins will have to address this judging by the GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3075

Need help with odd community naming behaviour - users having trouble joining my communities (self.lemmyworld)
 

I’m new to Lemmy and am pretty confused by a problem I seem to be having; I created a bunch of communities here on lemmy.world, but I’m having a weird issue with the naming of them, and I wonder if you all might be able to help. I tried messaging the admins of Lemmyworld but haven’t gotten a reply.

The communities I created look like completely normal remote communities to me from across the fediverse here from lemmy.pt, but I see that from inside lemmy.world, they have names that include lemmy.world.

For example, this board /c/wine - from my end it looks normal (https://lemmy.pt/c/wine@lemmy.world) but from inside lemmy.world it’s not got a /c/wine URL, instead it’s https://lemmy.world/c/wine@lemmy.world - which apparently breaks /c/wine links from inside lemmy.world.

I created like 10 other communities that are exhibiting the same problem.

It… seems like posts still get back and forth okay, but I’m at a loss to explain how this happened (I didn’t name the communities foo@lemmy.world when I created them), and I’m unsure how big of a problem it is. I don’t seem to be able to rename the URL component nor can I now create communities with the same name without the @lemmy.world part. My ability to do anything with the mod tools seems nonexistent.

It seems to be causing issues for some users however as I keep getting DMs about it.

If you have any suggestions on how to proceed, I’m all ears. Thanks!

This could be great news for the Mac gamers among us! Could the new Mac Studio be a viable gaming rig? Time will tell - I actually have one on order myself and will report back with benchmarks once I'm up and running!

Apple M2 Ultra (24 core) outperforms $3,299 AMD Threadripper 5979WX (32 core) (lemmy.pt)

This means that the $3,999 Mac Studio configuration with this chip outperforms the $3,299 super high end CPU offered by AMD - and we’re comparing a whole computer to just a processor without motherboard, memory or graphics card here. A very compelling desktop offering for pro users!
