Top is pretty self explanatory. Hot takes a combination of how many votes they got and how recent they are. And I think active is based on the number of new comments, although I'm not entirely sure.
Yeah and it's also too much effort for communities to band together around it every year. Someging that requires this much effort from communities should remain once every 5 years, otherwise they'll stop participating.
Right, but smaller instances break as well. The only solution for that is to have multiple accounts, which doesn't work very well on Lemmy right now. Hopefully that will be improved
There's nothing wrong with lemmy.world. I think most people aren't looking for specifically a federated platform, they're just looking for a platform, and it happens to be federated. In that case, it sorta makes sense to go with the most popular instance.
Yes! Thanks, default comment sort was the thing I was waiting for. Now the only thing I need is swipe action cuatomisation and it'll be as good as Apollo!
Ok but I don't post on twitter. I only view posts on Twitter, and they're pretty much all from relatively big people. So before I can move away, the people with big follower counts needs to move first. The only people on Mastodon that I follow are tech people. All the other people are on Twitter, Threads, or have just straight up left twitter altogether.
Yeah but it's true. It's better to ensure Republicans don't win than try to get your third party in. The problem is not the mindset of the people, it's the first past the post voting system. If they used ranked choice voting instead, it wouldn't be a problem.
Don't think it's really necessary. The different wikis don't really need to talk to each other. But an open source Gamepedia-like wiki software would be great. Maybe it exists already.
Good to see ChatGPT respecting SCP safety protocols
