Voyager is very similar to RIF. I'd recommend it highly.

"Today, the American military is for example using missile defense systems invented in Israel, from the Iron Dome to Trophy." I just looked this up and it seems you are right, they created the system of defense but also had over 2 Billion in investment for the system. Would that defense exist without the support given? It's a complicated issue but the brutal response doesn't seem appropriate.

Very cool! Keep up the hard work, we appreciate it!

Thanks for the information! I'll look into it, sorry for my ignorance on the dev, just wasn't aware of it.

No worries. I try to stay informed but there are to many projects to keep up. Keep us updated on the progress if you can, but an individual dev might lack the manpower for such an endeavor. All the best thought, am always happy to see any foss projects moving forward!

Neither your post or the link for the fundraising even says what the project is or what it does. I assume it's a foss browser or Operating system (maybe), but there is a lack of information upfront. I could look it up, but as of now I'm not sure why if a simple explanation could be added to either. Firefox is my go-to browser, if this could be a better fork or alternative I'd like to know that before funding any project. Also, 12k seems like a lot more than what is tallied in the costs, but good luck to the dev/project!

Deep rock galactic looks like a fun game. I have several friends who play it but haven't had the opportunity to pick it up yet.

Hogwarts looks like a fun game that I could play casually overtime. Happy Holidays!!

Sure, but I feel like there is still fluctuation and more often than not a varying degree of activity and posts that it makes it hard to stick to just one (identical) community for now. I'm sure it'll settle over time though.

That's pretty cool, I haven't tried out Kbin yet, might have to check it out!

Same, on many topics. How would I know which community will have the most activity, or none at all. It's my biggest issue here. Not a deal breaker, but annoying.

Why couldn't one of the communities abandoned just be dropped from the 'group' then. Or have Moderators from several communities work together to moderate a larger one. They are still federated, just working together. If one becomes obsolete, defederate it or let it be. Why should I have to be subscribed to the same topic several times to find the discussion?

That's a fair point, but one wins out usually, where with the lemmy numbers they seem to remain split with the smaller communities.

I've been on lemmy for several months now and most communities are completely split and activity on any given 'news topic' (as an example) varies widely on 0-50+ comments for the same topic popping up on the feed from several identical communities from varying instances. (Which is why grouping might be an alternative solution)

I was just addressing my concerns with Lemmy, for now. One of my suggestions (grouping communities) is one that could solve some of the issues with op's questions.

I don't feel like that answered the op question. As an example, every general 'gaming' instance that is federated can see each other, so I subscribe to every one I can find, but then I get some posts four times in a row (or more) with varying activity. (Hence the split community point).

I wish communities could be grouped in some way.

Either they go by the wayside or take control of a topic as of now.

Also, what if I'm subscribed to the community that isn't the active one, I have to constantly find new ones to keep up instead of just my feed for that topic?

Edit: part of growing the community has to be ease of access to content, that still seems limited on lemmy, for now

Same as on desktop, ghostery is great (the extension for Firefox)

It's also a saturated market because of the low barrier of entry, without an advertising budget you are taking a gamble no matter how good the gameplay is.

The reddit API cost change that killed all popular third party apps.

The Texas Observer is a reputable site. It's one of the last surviving papers in Texas with actual investigative journalists.

Wtf does dell profits have to do with this? Pretty heartless. Imagine your loved one committed suicide and this number was what was the only thing associated with them.
