.com was a common file extension for MS-DOS executables, which was still in common use when the Internet started taking off.

I’m waiting for .7z because it doesn’t nag me to register it.

By default, your instance will only know about communities on that instance and communities that users of that instance have intentionally subscribed to. Unfortunately, this causes problems for users of smaller instances unless the instance admins are running a federation helper bot, which basically scans remote instances for communities and adds them to the instance.

I found this out the hard way when I first tried Lemmy, since I picked a tiny instance due to the larger ones being overloaded in June. I had a hell of a time trying to subscribe to the communities for the new Lemmy apps I was trying out. I kept getting Community Not Found errors until I refreshed the page multiple times until it eventually found the community.

Some of us do enjoy hot weather. I hardly ever use my air conditioner.

Hexbear, Exploding Heads, and Lemmygrad are cesspools.

They always get away with it.

When you’re a billionaire, you can do whatever the hell you want in Murica.

Weird. I’m on three servers and haven’t had this happen.

Hexbear looks like exploding-heads but for liberals

Have you tried browsing another instance’s All feed to see if yours is missing any communities? I started using Lemmy on a really small instance but switched to lemmy.world as my main because it could see a lot more content. My new alt runs a federation helper to fix this too.

My only real complaint with Lemmy is that instances, by default, only know about their own communities and the remote communities that their users have specifically subscribed to. Some smaller instances run federation helpers that scan other instances for communities. Manually initiating a federation request is not intuitive either.

Honestly, I don’t miss Reddit at all. I deleted my account over a month ago.

Voyager is just like Apollo, and it’s been fun to try other apps as well. I also have accounts on kbin, Discuit, and Squabblr, but Squabblr is basically a dead platform at this point, and Discuit is yet another centralized platform so who knows if that one will last.

Lemmy’s been my favorite of the bunch.

Funny you would say that considering that you’re willing to ignore Biden’s faults because of Trump. We need to do better than this. In 2020, we had two racist pieces of shit who like to feel up women and girls running against each other. It blows my mind that anyone on the left could actually support Biden and dismiss his remarks because he’s old and ran against Trump.

Trump is finally getting nailed, but Biden can get away with sniffing young girls’ hair and touching on national TV? No wonder this country is in trouble.

So he can say whatever stupid racist crap he wants because he’s old and ran against Trump. Got it.

He has a long history of supporting segregationist policies because he didn’t want his kids growing up in a racial jungle. Those are HIS WORDS. If you’re going to ignore all of this and fail to realize that the Democrats need to do better, then you’re just proving my point.

You picked Team Blue, so in your mind, they are always right, and Team Red is always wrong. This binary view of politics is what is destroying this country.

If Biden is racist, he’s not showing it in any meaningful way today.

“the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.” – Biden, referring to President Obama

“Poor kids are just as smart and talented as white kids!”

“It’s awful hard, as well, to get Latinx vaccinated as well. Why? They’re worried that they will be vaccinated and deported.”

“Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”

“That’s like saying you . . . before you got in this program, you’re take [sic] a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” – Biden asking a Black reporter if he’s a cocaine junkie after the reporter asked if he had taken a cognitive test

“You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

These are all from this century. Don’t tell me he isn’t racist. Even Harris said that she was personally affected by his racist policies growing up. He also has a long history of working with and praising segregationists. The guy is a fraud who’s senile.

I’m not saying that the Republicans are any better. Far from it. I’m saying that Biden gets away with it because he gets a D after his name.

Ah yes, the good ol’ argument that if I criticize the progressives in any way, that means I’m a Trump supporter. Get out of here with that bullshit.

This binary view of politics is exactly what’s ruining this country.

Yes it is!

What does this have to do with the point I’m trying to make here?

Doesn’t matter whether it was a joke or not, and it doesn’t matter if he’s a product of his time or not. If any Republican made jokes like that, progressives would be out with the pitchforks, but because he has a D after his name, Biden gets a pass. It’s ridiculous.

I never said Trump wasn’t senile. They both need to retire.
