I'm really enjoying it. I feel way more inclined to post here, I very rarely did over at Reddit. People seem a lot more receptive and willing to participate.

Only downside is that it doesn't have the history Reddit has, so I still find myself using Reddit's history for research. I haven't installed the new app though, and I haven't looked at /r/all since the API changes went into affect.

I'm no expert but I believe comments are pulled down by an instance when a user requests the information and is then cached in the DB. So not everything is, but content that's viewed by a user on the instance will be.

I don't think it really matters, but I picked vlemmy.net because it wasn't too big. I figured that the bigger ones were staring down the barrel of a huge influx in traffic, so I wanted to avoid them.

I didn't see any evidence of the admin being shady, but also wasn't too hasty with the defederate button.

I don't listen to too much of the more classic prog stuff, but here are some more modern ones that you might be into:

  • Porcupine Tree (Gavin Harrison was the drummer in King Crimson)
  • The Pineapple Thief (Another Gavin Harrison band)
  • Haken (Recommend starting with The Mountain - my favourite)
  • Leprous (Older stuff has more distorted/screamed vocals, newer stuff is a lot cleaner)
  • Thank You Scientist

Ha, this was brilliant. I got up until the chess move!
