The booster is ~70 meters tall or ~230 feet.

The doctor says something in a stem tone

!keming@lemmy.world moment?

a man described in the medical literature who developed a growth the size of an orange. Yet because it grew very slowly, the man’s brain was able to adjust, shifting memories elsewhere, and his behavior and speech never seemed to change—even when the tumor was removed.

Wow, that’s wild.

Happy cake day!

At first one half of my thumb was entirely numb, and over the course of well over a decade I’d get pins & needles as bunches of nerves would finish regrowing, except attached to random channels in the nerve bundle, so my brain had to completely remap all those signals to what they actually meant.

It felt super weird because hot, cold, pain & touch were all mixed up, but eventually my brain sorted them out.

Wow, that’s fascinating. Thanks for sharing your story.

Nope, his name is Alec Watson!

He’s on the fediverse as well: https://mas.to/@TechConnectify/with_replies

Who is Rob?

Translation: Are you sure?

Can you even tell which of my comments came from Lemmy.World, and which comments didn’t?

Yes. Yes we can.

I used dimensionality reduction to make it 2D

Huh, interesting. So is the idea to spread the data out as much an possible, while keeping “similar” communities near each other? What was the dimensionality of the original set?

it probably brings you to an instance that isn’t yours so you have to figure out a way to open the link from your own instance

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher

This is a pretty much a solved problem, the solution just needs to be promoted more, perhaps even on the join-lemmy page.

I sometimes wish voting (or downvoting) could be limited to subscribers the subscribers of a community. Do you think this could help reduce cases like this?

To add on to that, Thunder have implemented all these search features in the app.

The only spelling error I spotted is right at the end where you said Mask and not Musk

Pretty sure “Alone Mask” is intentional. It seems to be common to misspell his name on purpose. I’ve seen “Elmo Husk”, “Leon Skum”, etc.

Good choice. They’re federated with LemmyWorld, correct? Just not the piracy community?

Ah, good catch. Any alternative you would recommend instead?

You would have to set up a vetted set of approved non-problematic instances.

No instance will be perfect, but I think lemm.ee, lemmy.zip, and lemmy.sdf.org could be good candidates for generic instances to recommend. All in the top 20 instances, so they are decently well federated, but not centralizing to the largest instance (LemmyWorld).

I am trying to convince more instance admins to install Fediverser on their servers, so that we can have a way to point people to one site that can distribute the users and help with onboarding and discovery

What does Fediverser from an admin standpoint? Does it just enable a “Login with Reddit” option for onboarding new users?

I will update the instance list.

Thanks!

Generally all issues/requests can be added in https://gitlab.com/azzurite/lemmy-universal-link-switcher/-/issues.

I would need a GitLab account for that, correct? Is it worth it?

How did you find this? I had like 3 people suddenly write on this year old thread.

I went from my Violentmonkey dashboard to the GitLab page, searched Lemmy for “Azzurite”, and this post was the top result. Once I commented, it must have shown up for users sorting by “New Comments”.

Just send them to Lemmy world

I agree that having a “default instance” would greatly help with onboarding new users, but as many others have said before, centralizing on the largest instance is not a good idea.

There are several other “general purpose” Lemmy instances. Why not send everyone to lemm.ee, until its size is close to lemmy world? At that point, start sending everyone to lemmy.sdf.org or lemmy.zip.
