  • In my eyes, new users should just join some big reliable instance. Then, once they have some experience with Lemmy and actually know a bit about the instances, they can switch. Switching is pretty easy nowadays.

  • Oh I love the topics list. It already helped me discover a new community. I assume right now it's curated by someone, would be cool if there was a way for communities to just apply tags to themselves. They could even be turned into hashtags, whenever someone posts to that community, as a kind of link to Mastodon.

  • I think the point is to recognise a paper by its author blob so you don't end up needing the tooltip that much (they talk about it in the paper) I'm not really convinced that it's worth it, but they did think it through.

  • They talk about alphabetical order in the introduction, you can see a bit of it in the screenshot. It feels just slightly unfair because you'll always get Adams et al. and never Zimmer et al.

  • Really love that this is a thing. Also, not sure where to best report this, but I've noticed that it doesn't show all Mastodon comments, and replies to Lemmy comments don't make it over to Mastodon

  • The flipside is that people get away with horrible things just because they're good at what they do. In doing so you're also missing out on good art, because there are actresses/scientists/whatever who don't want to deal with that
