I don’t want to get an addon just because people occasionally use Fahrenheit

I heard you can un-delete it by clicking on the delete icon again

No, or not yet. You don’t lose that much by moving though

I think Nebula is already a step in the right direction even though it’s not decentralized

This. There’s no need to join the biggest instance, as long as you’re not among an instance’s first users you won’t notice much difference.

I’m assuming that people would downvotes pictures of cats which had the #dogs hashtag

Honestly I’m not sure. One problem on reddit is that people just upvote things they like that show up on their frontpage regardless of where it’s posted, which means all the big subs blur together.

Worth adding: it doesn’t exist on Lemmy, only on kbin and Mastodon because those are more Twitter-like.

On https://join-lemmy.org/instances doing a ctrl+f for ‘NSFW’ gives 3 hits, so maybe one of those

Ah yeah that’s also what I associate with rationalism. That whole sphere of Eliezer Yudkowsky, Roko, Effective Altruism, longtermism, the wrong kind of AI doomerism, lots of in-group terms, and really liking Bayes’ theorem

What motivated the move, was Tildes the place overtaken by Rationalists?

I heard you need to type the community name in all lowercase

Apart from the topic (if it’s not a general instance) and admins, it can also matter for performance: if the server can barely manage the number of users it currently has, if it’s close to you geographically (I don’t know if it’s a huge deal, but a server right next to you will always get your messages faster than one on the other side of the world).

From what I heard, no (but the reverse is possible)

Was Lemmy.world down just now?

Morally that does feel a bit weird, because they need to get money from somewhere to do proper journalism

To add to this: most other Lemmy instances do let anyone create communities

At least one person on your instance also has to be subscribed to a community for it to show up in All (you’ll only notice this on brand new instances, you’ll have to subscribe to everything you might want to see)

Now I wonder if it’s possible to ‘link’ RSS feeds with ActivityPub. I guess it’s always possible to have a bot make Lemmy posts from the feed.

That sounds more like a bug than anything intentional, since all your comments are still here

Almost all instances are linked. If it doesn’t show up the first time you search it just means it hasn’t been cached yet. It’ll show up after you wait a bit and search again
