Yeah, I imagine that's the equilibrium that the Lemmy Fediverse kind of lands on. At least for subs with more technical mods. I do wonder if this is sufficiently complex that Lemmy, and the Fediverse, in general, stays fairly niche as most users won't consider that super amazing user experience. But, to me, that's kind of the interesting and fun part -- what happens next in the Fediverse experiment.
One read on this may be that lemmy.world may not be the best instance upon which to host !austin (i.e. if, for whatever reason, they're not able to maintain federation with other instances).
Another thought is if you really want control over your "home" instance's federation you could host your own instance and call all the shots. I've been considering doing this but mostly out of curiosity. Admittedly you would probably want to be fairly technical for this to be a viable solution.
It also looks like the Lemmy devs have been considering the possibility of implementing profile migration between instances, which could be interesting.
All of that said, I'd be curious to know the specific reasoning given by your last instance on why they decided to defederate. I don't want to sound accusatory or jump to conclusions but this kind of post strikes me as... FUD.
‘Dogs coming out of our ears’: Pandemic, no-kill policy worsen overcrowding at Austin Animal Center
The Austin Animal Center doesn’t want its halls lined with crates, but they are. It doesn’t want to keep three puppies in a kennel meant for cats, but it does. And it doesn’t want to keep crates of large dogs in its loading dock…
The hottest coolest time in Texas, in a literal sense.
Austin is looking at high temperatures in the triple digits every day this week. That doesn't usually happen for another month.
Frosty margs and a skillet of queso is a state of mind.
That may require another Donk Contest.
Probably the serial killer or something.
The Adventures of Pete and Pete (intro)
The intro to one of the greatest kids shows of the 90s. It's the song "Hey Sandy" by the band Polaris.
Baller The Grackle
I hope Baller has found a big bag of discarded french fries in an HEB parking lot and is doing alright.
I grew up in an Apple household. This was way before it was cool. We had an LCIII (one of the 'pizza' box 68k Macs). I could only dream of having a 486 or Pentium machine like some of my friends had.
That said there were a couple old 68k Mac games I remember enjoying. Movod II comes to mind... I also remember some of my first experiences on the internet on those 68k Macs. Connecting to AOL with a USRobotics 28.8kbps modem... takes me back.
"Asteroid City" by Wes Anderson
Wes Anderson has a new movie coming out soon. It looks pretty good (unless you don't like Wes Anderson movies).
You might also enjoy Brandon Rhodes' website which has some pretty skillful writeups on Python Patterns as well.
