If it helps, you can just use something else like Lemmy and still access all kbin content, that’s what I’m currently doing.

This is interesting as I have had much the opposite effect. I very rarely see anything Linux related. Though honestly I don’t use Linux so that works just fine for me.

That hacker news bit got me, I won’t lie.

I’m gonna go with no, since I’m reading it perfectly currently.

I do kinda love this name.

Frankly I have absolutely no idea, I would encourage asking if you’re concerned though.

Can’t speak for others, but my decision to stick with lemm.ee stemmed from seeing how active the owner is, the minimal defederation and the bot & moderation policies meaning there are minimal bots, and I’ve yet to currently see much spam issues, which is nice.

Also helps that the owner Sunaurus is an active contributor to the Lemmy project as a whole, so we get patches and fixes relatively quickly.

This was asked in the lemm.ee discord and the answer given is below.

Ping times are low everywhere because the files we serve are hosted on globally distributed servers. So if you’re in North America, you will download the frontend code (and images etc) from a North American server. But the backend is actually hosted in Germany

simply just paste the URLs directly without any markdown

Yeah this is what I did, thanks.

I’m using Thunder for Lemmy currently though I also checked Jerboa, and Lemmy on my desktop and the links display perfectly fine for me on all three, as displayed in the screenshot I sent earlier.

What are you using? Could be that?

There is no parentheses at all, I’m unsure what exactly you mean. Apologies if I’m being incredibly dense.

Hey, honestly I’m unsure. Though my gut instinct would be that it does include those instances, hadn’t considered it.

What are the differences between our links, as I don’t see any at all?

Screenshot to show.

Would embed a picture If I could but on mobile currently.

More stats for those interested.

Yeah, this is a great analogy, definitely agree here.

Honestly, I don’t know if it’s the fewer users, the lack of trolls, the newer apps I’ve been forced to use or the topics that I’ve been getting into since joining Lemmy. But I have been considerably more active here both commenting and posting, than I ever was on Reddit.

It may have started as a way to do my part for the growth of Lemmy, but it’s not been about that for me for some time now.

You know it’s bad when the almost constantly unhinged ‘Empress’ is the one speaking sense.

I worry that something like this would rapidly become the equivalent of paying for a hundred different shitty TV channels from cable TV so that you could get the few good ones you were actually interested in.

If I recall, they’ve just finished up a round of seed funding. I’ve heard precious little about the project itself, though. You may be on to something.

Google+ was so weird, for a considerable amount of time it was invite only, you needed some form of connection to get in – turns out this wasn’t great as they assumed it would be. I can only assume that is the reason they pulled a massive U-turn and decided to foist it upon anyone and everyone after the fact, which, it would appear, was also a bad idea.
