Very interesting; thank you

Good idea

I feel you. The Network Effect is real, and the niche subreddits need a HUGE overall userbase to work at all.

The total population of Lemmy + Kbin is about the size of a medium size city subreddit.

I’m staying here for now. I sometimes cheat and browse reddit not-logged-in. I don’t know what the answer is.

Agreed. It’s one of the more creepy aspects of social media that mostly leads to “gotchas” (“oh your account is only 2 months old? your opinion is invalid!”) and stalker-ish behavior – and one I wish fediverse had learned from instead of copied.

Took them over 350 years to admit Galileo was right about the earth rotating around the sun…

Is this satire? Are you playing a role? Poe’s Law means I cannot tell.

This is actually a useful comment in how well it succinctly distills all the batshit crazy conspiracy theories of the modern far right. It’d be useful to screenshot and put in a Wikipedia article on how propaganda takes over people’s brains.

Even frog facts?

“The skin is semi-permeable, making them susceptible to dehydration, so they either live in moist places or have special adaptations to deal with dry habitats. Frogs produce a wide range of vocalizations, particularly in their breeding season, and exhibit many different kinds of complex behaviors to attract mates, to fend off predators and to generally survive.”

monthly active users I would guess

I just want an option to “hide downvoted posts” like reddit had… I’m tired of seeing the instance-stickied announcements hang around forever in my feed

Care to say which forum?

Based

Yep. LeetCode medium difficulty puzzles is the de facto / unofficial standard, and even if you’re a pretty good programmer, those are tough to do in a timed 45 minute thing with some stranger watching every character you type :-(

A Siri that doesn’t feel like it’s ~13.5 years old would be nice, especially with the advancements in LLMs. I use Siri daily (timers, alarms, weather check while in bed, etc.) but it feels SO ancient. Can’t even ask it follow-up questions.
