Comments help. I feel like there are a lot of lurkers who’d engage more but a lot of posts never get any sort of comments so people are less likely to read/participate and it makes the place feel more empty than it actually is.

But I think back to posting on web forums and whatnot and it was always a fairly familiar set if folks and that’s not a bad thing so long as people are engaging.

I don’t like things as well

Ooh, shiny new community to join

It would be really slick if you could join multiple communities into a larger virtual one kinda like multi-reddits. It would be a nice way to aggregate similar communities from different instances and not segment the limited userbase too much. I tend to rely on my main feed here more for similar reasons

Mixtral, a French AI model, managed to accurately assert that voting by text is not allowed. But when our tester persisted by asking how to vote by text in California, it returned with an enthusiastic and bizarre “¡Hablo español!” Mixtral’s maker did not respond to requests for comment.

The workforce of the future is so adorable

Im still a little bit miffed they didn’t give me any compensation for using pictures of my setup

Blizzard used to give me such warm fuzzies.

Think of something simple you want to make, pick a language, and start reading/watching tutorials and doing smaller coding exercises until you feel like you can start making it. This is the easiest period in human history to learn new languages, easily and for free.

A lot of subreddits moved to Lemmy.world so in turn I think a lot of the reddit migration ended up here (myself included). Mastodon.world already had a large user base so it probably just made sense to rely on their new lemmy instance to handle the new users. Other instances like lemmy.ml sort of froze new signups at the time so that also funneled more users this way.
