That’s technically true and also the reason why a 60FPS locked game can indeed look smoother on a 120Hz display compared to 60Hz. Because 60FPS don’t always hold a steady 16.67ms between each frame so it could happen that on a 60Hz display you’ll see a frame twice and skip another one instead.
Nowadays you ideally have a monitor which supports variable refresh rate so this becomes a non issue because every single frame now gets his own refresh.
You can also just enter your instance at the top right of that website and every link will directly be rewritten to send you to the communities from your instance
But it does.
Example: You’re on lemmy.world. Let’s say lemmy.world defederates lemmy.ml today.
Now you won’t be able to see any new posts made by users of lemmy.ml, be it on lemmy.ml itself or on any other instance. You will still see everything that was posted up until the defederation though because defederation just means that your instance won’t request new copies of the content of lemmy.ml .
And they also can’t post stuff on comunities of lemmy.world(I believe they technically could do that, just that nobody could see it, but it may be that by now it’s entirely blocked to even make a post there).
Now as long as lemmy.ml doesn’t defederate lemmy.world too, their users will still be able to see your comments and may also reply to your comments on other instances, but you won’t see that.
So defederation mainly serves two purposes for the users of the instance that defederates another instance:
Everything you post in a beehaw community won’t be seen by anyone else. Everything you post in a community of any other instance will be seen by everyone who isn’t on an instance that defederated yours
and have your own community – AKA instance
The distinction between communities and instances is often poorly displayed in many cases which adds to the general confusion I feel.
For example, feedit.de describes itself as “Deutschsprachige(German-speaking) Lemmy Community” and their Logo also states “lemmy community”.
But it’s not a community, it’s an instance. The “subreddits” inside that instance are the communities, so feddit itself shouldn’t be called community to avoid confusion.
Edit: Of course there’s also more added confusion when we talk about the Fediverse as a whole, where users on /kbin use the terms magazines and articles instead of comunities and posts and they also have different names for likes and dislikes.
But it’s not like the teeth adjusted to our diet because they had to. It’s just that it’s no longer detrimental to survival to not have perfectly aligned teeth and so those who now have braces are perfectly fine and able to reproduce. Now the future ratio of people in need for braces is only a matter of how many people that needed braces and how many that didn’t need them get children and that isn’t dependent on their teeth anymore.
Well our mouths wouldn’t change just because they are no longer needed the way they were before.
It would only change if there was a negative effect of having a mouth and teeth like we have now.
You could say if we don’t need our teeth anymore, they might disappear over time, but that would only occur if having teeth lead to higher death rates and fewer children being born. But we’ve generally come so far with our technology that we’re not really that much dependend on the “survival of the fittest” rule anymore.
If we didn’t need our teeth and let those people who have tooth decay die from infections instead of treating them with our modern technology, then very very slowly those who had a random mutation that leads to them not having teeth at all actually have a better survivability than those who have teeth. Buit as we treat them, they have the same chance of reproducing as everyone else.
You could also argue that it’s better for survivability to have as few body parts on you as possible that you need to provide energy for and those parts that you have being most energy efficient. So it could be that we at least develop smaller mouths when it’s no longer a benefit of having a bigger jaw etc. But this also wouldn’t happen because there is no reason why someone would die of having to spend too much energy on their body nowadays.
It just looks like an actual app and not like a tab in your browser(no adress bar for example), plus you can access it quickly that way without having to navigate your browser tabs
I’d say to effectively call yourself a Reddit refugee would mean that you are no longer on Reddit so …^^
Some people might just be curious about Lemmy, but refugees are here becasue they don’t want to use Reddit anymore so I’d expoect every one of those to spend more time on Lemmy.
Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group)
That feature can’t come soon enough, not only in mobile apps but also on the website itself
Return to it and have my knowledge of all the positive and negative aspects erased would be something I’d consider. But having used all the technology for so long, I couldn’t imagine just don’t having it anymore tomorrow
I had a Sony Xperia Z3 which had its charging port and sim tray covered by small pieces attached to the case that had rubber on them so you could open it and use the port and then seal it again. It also had a magnetic charging port that didn’t need water protection.
But iirc, it was said that the waterproof rating was only true as long as you didn’t use these pieces^^
I can think of a design where the battery just sits tight against the top part of the smartphone and you could remove the bottom part with 2 screws (whichs holes aren’t open to the inside of the phone) to spring it out like an SD-Card. That bottom part would just need to have rubber on the inside edges
Posting would work just as it works now, the difference is how easy you can view the different communities. The idea is that it’s just like if you were for example just subscribed to different tech communities from other instances. Now you can switch your view to subscribed to only see all those tech threads.
The problem is when you are subscribed to more than just those tech communities, you can’t filter your view so that you still only have those tech communities on your page.
Multi-subreddits would do just that. You could group different communities together and view them as you view your subscribed list, only now you can have multiple of those lists with different communities in them
Afaik „magazines“ are just Lemmys „communities“ or reddits „subreddits“
Eventually people will be able to go to the search bar, type “technology” and just click the top result which will be by far the most active
Well that wouldn’t be true for someone that is on an instance that is defederated from the most active one, and even if that#s not the case, I would only see posts in there from people that are not part of instances that are defederated by my instance. So depending on which instance I am, I’ll see more or less posts on these comunities.
That’s the major problem I see right now and for which I don’t see any other solution than everyone creating their own instance for themselfes to be able to see everything.
Voyager is all you’ll ever need^^
