Literally. People forget that these instances are privately run (just as Reddit is). There is no obligation to the “public good”.

I’m not sure if you will find much sympathy here. Many people (myself included) left Reddit because their policies and ethics now outweigh the benefits of a refined, smooth experience. Although, even that may be gone now if you’re switching from Apollo to the default Reddit app…

The communities here have made any occasional glitches worth it for me.

P.S. you can set your sorting preference under Settings.

 

For months, the BBC has been communicating in secret with three North Koreans living in the country.

As a fan of craft beer, I like the taste. It’s like drinking different types of bread.

When I toured Europe, I found the beer was definitely lighter there.

Would anyone be able to comment on the tangible effects of the strike? The article just says it could have “damaging effects on the economy” - are we talking shortage of goods or something else? What flows through the BC ports?

I think any Sens fan will agree with you. Hindsight is 20/20.

I wanted to watch it too and it was awful. And then when they finally posted the recording THE NEXT DAY, it was mediocre at best. Truly a blunder in the reality TV world.

Following as I’d like to know too!

Your metaphor of multiple instances = multiple “Reddits” is exactly how I think of it as a layperson!

A few other people use the email metaphor, but I found it not as digestible since email is not a forum.

I agree, the hardest part for me was getting started.

“I like news - I’ll just register on the news Lemmy!” Ah. Sweet summer child.

Luckily I stumbled across my current instance and the creator seemed friendly and like a decent human being. But I doubt many casual Redditors will have the same patience to figure it out.

Oh shoot. I’m glad you posted this as I just made a post and completely misinterpreted the message - I selected “English.” Hopefully that won’t filter it from too many users!
