$19 billion seems high.

I know it doesn’t make sense, but can’t blame the guy, he probably went to school in Florida

I really like it here. However, almost 90% of my feed is either posts about Reddit, or Lemmy/kbin meta analysis. We need actual content and communities over here! in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.

Could they have handled this whole situation any worse?

What's up with some communities here having [community]@lemmy.world but not just [community] in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

It does look like the admins will have to address this judging by the GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3075

This has happened to a bunch of the communities I created on Lemmyworld. I’ve been trying to ask for help - have created some threads about it and tried DMing the admins - but have never gotten a reply. Not sure what recourse I have, but I get a lot of DMs from users telling me it’s broken.

let's cut the "Reddit" circle jerk and start actually making content in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Need help with odd community naming behaviour - users having trouble joining my communities (lemmy.pt)
 

I’m new to Lemmy and am pretty confused by a problem I seem to be having; I created a bunch of communities here on lemmy.world, but I’m having a weird issue with the naming of them, and I wonder if you all might be able to help. I tried messaging the admins of Lemmyworld but haven’t gotten a reply.

The communities I created look like completely normal remote communities to me from across the fediverse here from lemmy.pt, but I see that from inside lemmy.world, they have names that include lemmy.world.

For example, this board /c/wine - from my end it looks normal (https://lemmy.pt/c/wine@lemmy.world) but from inside lemmy.world it’s not got a /c/wine URL, instead it’s https://lemmy.world/c/wine@lemmy.world - which apparently breaks /c/wine links from inside lemmy.world.

I created like 10 other communities that are exhibiting the same problem.

It… seems like posts still get back and forth okay, but I’m at a loss to explain how this happened (I didn’t name the communities foo@lemmy.world when I created them), and I’m unsure how big of a problem it is. I don’t seem to be able to rename the URL component nor can I now create communities with the same name without the @lemmy.world part. My ability to do anything with the mod tools seems nonexistent.

It seems to be causing issues for some users however as I keep getting DMs about it.

If you have any suggestions on how to proceed, I’m all ears. Thanks!

Apple M2 Ultra (24 core) outperforms $3,299 AMD Threadripper 5979WX (32 core) (lemmy.pt)

This means that the $3,999 Mac Studio configuration with this chip outperforms the $3,299 super high end CPU offered by AMD - and we’re comparing a whole computer to just a processor without motherboard, memory or graphics card here. A very compelling desktop offering for pro users!
