I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.

Interesting video but the guy bangs a hammer almost the entire thing. Pretty jarring I’d you’re trying to relax with this

I have no idea how the app is built I hate to say, Ive never looked at it. Was just giving some general advice. If I get some time I’ll dig a bit sounds fun

Use the inspect button in your browser and you can pinpoint it in the html which will help you pinpoint it in the actual component.

Be aware though this isn’t shutting off functionality. Just hiding the functionality. People could still upload directly though api calls

Isn’t the entire point of classic to get off p2w private servers that can and do just shut down randomly destroying your progress?

SOM servers seemed like an absolute godsend.

I’ve played since vanilla and even went back and did all of classic again when it first came out again a few years ago. My only private server experiences were not good by any means.

Is there something I’m missing or is it just about saving the monthly sub cost

Nobody is going to be able to give you a walkthrough in a post. There are a lot of concepts at play which are all going to require you get on google and start learning. You’ll inevitably run into issues that can be specifically asked about and answered but this is so general how would we even begin to give a walkthrough.

If I had to give a spot to start I’d say look into interacting with the apis (or any apis in general) first in your desired language and then figure out some things you can do with the data you’re getting back from the calls.

Showing the reason you edit a post isn’t dumb, its to give a valid reason so people don’t think you edited to make someones response look bad. Saying its for context, adding a word or whatever just shows you didn’t edit it maliciously.

The whole “edit: thanks for gold and I can’t believe my most upvoted comment was about editing!” can go away for sure though

That makes sense if it were to become circular. The way I was thinking of it is like

B gets C’s content making C’s part of B’s. so because C’s is a part of B then A gets it.

But I guess C’s content isn’t really B’s its only there through federation? Trying to wrap my head around all this, appreciate the reply.

Funny enough, this post is still “submitting” Image of the submit button still spinning on this post

This was always the hardest part of these types of apps for me… getting people who just want something to work and already have a working thing are pretty impossible to get to swtich

I lurked reddit for more than a decade and maybe posted 5 times. I hit that my first day here I think. Not sure what the difference is… I guess the smaller user base makes me feel like I can actually engage in a conversation with someone rather than just have my post disappear into the thousands already on a post

Yup all makes sense. Appreciate the insight into how things work.

I know its probably frustrating to have people come in and go “well reddit does XYZ” all the time, so its nice to get an explanation. Truthfully, I think a lot of us just needed a little kick start to get off that site to something new.

Itll take some time to get comfy and learn how it all works, but so far things seem great. Enjoy your day.

I guess maybe the way to think about it is that each instance is like a “mini reddit” with its own content, admins, mods, userbase etc.

You still have access through your instance to any others that exist and can participate in those others as well. But, your home base is where you registered. At least thats my understanding so far

They are gone, just like normal forums, except for copies stored in instances federated to yours.

So once an instance is federated by another, those posts also live in the 2nd instance as sort of a backup?

Part of what I enjoyed about reddit was that I could find things that are 10 years old with a quick google search and still expect them to be there 10 years from now. If all this can go away at any moment, it sort of just feels like a chat room or something. Im not saying that is a bad thing, it just makes it difficult to build long term communities and a strong user base long term if its possible.

Do most people browse within their “local” or “all?” When browsing “all” I see some duplicate content from communities in other instances which I guess is to be expected. Again, not a bad thing - but if I have to search 15 other “news” to see discussion on something I am interested in, isnt that kind of cumbersome?

Enjoying the site so far, dont take my comments as criticism. Just doing my best to learn how to use this type of site and get the most out of it I can. Appreciate the replies from you all.

Appreciate the post. A fellow refugee with some questions…

So I have chosen Lemmy.world. I know I can browse cross instance and post wherever but I have some confusion with this too.

Each instance will have its own let’s say “news.” Some will be more popular than others of course but will likely have similar content. I then sub to “news” on whatever instance. But there’s still hundreds of other “news” out there with potentially different, but likely similar content. Isn’t this fragmentation bad for community?

Also, let’s say I am in instance xyz and that’s where I’ve registered my account. All of a sudden the admins no longer want to run things and shut it down. All those communities are gone? What happens to my user account?

I think federated content is great, but this is my first interaction with a service using it. Please help me understand what this ultimately looks like long term.

Edit: sorry this triple posted. I kept getting errors so I hit submit again… and then again. Deleted the duplicates
