Instead of one central Reddit, imagine hundreds of mini-Reddits each with their own users, communities, rules, culture, etc. Now connect them all together so the users on each mini-Reddit can read/post/comment on any of the others. That basically how this works; each Lemmy instance is a mini-Reddit in a sea of peers.

There are so many politics communities, but before you mentioned this I didn't realize how concentrated they are on .ml and .world. These look like the most-subscribed USA and World politics communities that aren't on .ml or .world:

!politics@hexbear.net
!politics@beehaw.org
!usa@midwest.social
!worldpolitics@lemmy.ca
!geopolitics@lemmy.run
!politics@sh.itjust.works

[Edit: Though I listed them here, the hexbear and beehaw communities are not accessible to large swaths of the Lemmy user base due to instance defederations.]

The community was removed from lemmy.ml by their admins. Here's the reason in the modlog:

W must have slept in a Holiday Inn Express the night before.

No gun, no problem. If you are wearing shoes you always have options.

Supposedly this is at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth, Massachusettes. I would not be surprised at all if it's real; having a Dunkin' Donuts in the hospital would totally track for Massachusetts.

Give me streetcars, give me subways, give me walkable neighborhoods and bicycle paths, but you can keep your buses.

That's a sweet map, too!

That's Mira the Archaeologist from TaleSpin. I agree she looks a bit like a bear, but I think she's supposed to be a fox in the show.

Here's an archive.is link for those who prefer it.

Ooooh, that's a sweet map!

Some brands do this continually. That's how Eddie Bauer or The Gap is constantly having a 30% off sale on one thing or another.

And it works. It's called "price anchoring."

Independence Day in theaters, Seinfeld on TV, The Macarena all over the place. Hell yeah, '96.

When viewing the lemmy.world main page it should be on the right side:

Note that it isn't visible when you a viewing a community.
This is normal behavior for the default Lemmy UI. Here is the Lemmy developers' GitHub page, where you can open issues to request changes: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui

What interface are you using to browse Lemmy? A mobile app like Voyager/Thunder/Summit/etc., or the standard web UI, or an alternate web UI like Alexandrite/Photon/Tesseract?

There are lots of ways to view Lemmy and they all offer very different features.

Edit: The web UIs can also look different on desktop versus mobile.

Is that site alive again? I thought it died decades ago.

I absolutely know people who started relationships through early Facebook. It was only open to college kids, and the whole site was designed to find likeminded people near to your existing friend group. Anyone remember the "six degrees of separation" feature that would show the chain of friend connections between you and another user?

OP, were you standing naked in your bathroom when you took this picture?

I'm amazed that Project Orion went on as long as it did.
