The feature is there, but it's glitchy. Whenever I try to post with a language tag to lemmy.world and other big instances, the post screen stays loading forever and the post is never submitted. It only goes through when I remove the language tag, so I avoid posting non-English content on lemmy.world because I can't tag it...

I don't think that you, me and OP have different values on this issue, actually? We all agree that the state is supposed to provide us with a structure to live in that we couldn't have on our own, and as payment for this safety net, we contribute taxes. My and OP's argument is that with the current projection of the economy and population growth, the state cannot provide the current generation of tax payers with the structures and support that we will eventually need, and therefore many of us would rather pay lower taxes and lose the benefits, because we won't be getting them anyway. We know what's coming and we don't want to be the ones "holding the bag" when the system collapses.

I'm trying to explain OP's point to the Americans in this thread who don't understand that European social security systems are currently under severe strain and are on the road to collapse, and how OP feels to have to sacrifice so much of his potential income to support a failing system. The 80s stereotypes of reliable, high-quality social security no longer hold true in Europe in 2023.

Federated actions are never truly private, including votes. While it's inevitable that some people will abuse the vote viewing function to harass people who downvoted them, public votes are useful to identify bot swarms manipulating discussions.

Sjovt at du vil lære dig svensk, jeg havde indtrykket, at vores sprog er kedeligst af de skandinaviske sprogene 🤣 Jeg synes ikke at det skal findes gode svenske filmer på Netflix, der ikke er børneprogrammer. Jeg bruger SVT i stedet. Jeg lærte mig dansk gennem at læse danske forumer (derfor er jeg her) og at lytte til podcaster og program på DR. Jeg har stadigt lidt svært at forstå dansk tale men jeg elsker at lytte til dansk alligevel.

Jag skapade botten som ett sätt för feddit.dk-användare - som till stor grad rekryterades från /r/Denmark - att följa communityt utan att förse Reddit med användartrafik och bidrag. Dess syfte är att uppmuntra folk som saknar Reddit att tillbringa mer tid på Feddit och bidra till gemenskapen här, istället för att återvandra till Reddit för att följa deras favoritcommunities.

Våra kommentarer vidarebefordras inte till /r/Denmark, !denmark är ett arkiv av subben.

Jag kan prova en deployment av Lemmy som regelbundet kör SQL-kommandon som rensar en gemenskaps inlägg och kommentarer från databasen, i detta fall !denmark@leddit.danmark.party, när de blir för gamla. Det blir något i stil med att Postgres-innehållaren kör DELETE FROM posts WHERE community = [!denmark:s ID] AND timestamp < [unix time] dagligen. Detta frigör utrymmet i databasen gentemot vanliga raderingar som endast gör innehållet osynligt för användarna, men de blir kvar i databasen. Om det räcker med att radera innehållet från forumet är det en lättare uppgift som AutoModerator kan hantera.

Jag vill också poängtera att merparten av lagringsutrymmet som !denmark tar upp just nu är cachade bilder som länkas på Reddit. Textinnehållet i kommentarerna står för en väldigt liten del av utrymmet, bara några bytes vardera. Enligt den här kommentaren rensar pict-rs cachade bilder efter en vecka så !denmark kommer inte belasta databasen till stor grad.

I considered buying the P3 or P4 because they're said to have the best cameras and battery performance, but the end of security updates after 2022 and 2023 respectively turned me off and I got a P6A instead. What are you going to do with your P4A after the support for it ends this year?

And I'm sure it would also be more convenient to have it all under one roof, just like everything about Germany is under feddit.de, and people from elsewhere can still visit if they like.

I'm trying to advertise my country's instance, feddit.nu (Sweden). feddit.de got a headstart with Germans by having been created before the Reddit migration and providing the first federated community discovery tool.

Instances that were created after the migration started on the other hand? It's frustrating with Redditor behavior, because they expect the Lemmy community to share the same name as the Reddit community (/r/Sweden) and only subscribe to communities that use the same name.

If you don't want your lemmy.world feed to be flooded with languages you can't understand, please make sure to annoy their users about it as much as possible, in English, that they should move to the country-specific instances instead of centralizing on lemmy.world. It's healthier for the Fediverse in general with everyone on many instances, in the long run.

It's Estonian (.ee is the country code for Estonia) but it's also a cool domain hack and the owner opened it to everyone.

1. The sign-up process can be improved. But the reason people think choosing an instance complicated is because they're so used to having choices taken from them by social media companies, so when they're given the choice back, learned helplessness causes them to freeze.
2. You do bullet points with a dash or an asterisk, like - This is a bullet point or * This is a bullet point.
3. Click on your profile picture in the top right of the screen and click on "Settings". There is a section named something like "Default Homepage Sort". You can change it to view the All feed instead of Local.
4. We don't think having dumb people in the Fediverse is enshittification. Many of the current users would be considered dumb depending on who you ask. Corporate control of the Fediverse and companies milking users for money while making the user experience worse is enshittification.
5. This text formatting system is called Markdown, which is what Old Reddit used to format text before New Reddit introduced the graphic text editor. This page has a guide on all the formatting tricks you can do with Markdown.

Older than 30 nope, tech enthusiast yes, Linux user sort of, because my self-hosting servers run Linux but my personal daily driver is Windows. Windows native art programs have a lot of responsiveness problems and other random issues when running on Linux, and it's annoying to have to boot up a separate OS to use specific programs.

Taking the extremely tech-unsavvy fanartist community as a reference, it's not that federation and choosing a server is that difficult, that's just a lame excuse. Their usual social media platforms do UI redesigns, A/B testing and introduce weird limitations all the time. They just learn to cope with it.

People who don't care about tech don't think about the websites they use at all. In their minds, websites are just omnipresent things that exist naturally, like the sun. They only care about whether the website is able to connect them to their friends and showcase their posts to other people. They will only pay attention to the website if it introduces a change that affects their daily usage of it negatively, just like how people don't consciously think about the sun unless it inconveniences them.

That's more of an Instagram thing. The calling card of the teenage zoomer on Reddit is the nerd emoji and the moai head emoji.
