How does this federated forum / site work?
  • Instances are like subreddits where the mods are top level admins, and there is no central admin above them. Anyone who wants to create an instance can host their own server. Communities can be duplicated between instances so you could have dozens of c/gaming communities rather than a single community for a topic which stifles engagement a bit. The cost of hosting is paid by the admins of an instance or by donations. Sponsors and ads are not currently feasible.

    Unmoderated instances allow any new instance’s content to be displayed for their users.

  • Is there a way to deal with crap like this yet?
  • It’s similarly unpleasant browsing All from lemmy.world. 70% non-English (no hate, I just literally cannot engage), 25% spam crossposts, and 5% porn.

    It’s like a ghost town. At least do more than dropping a link with zero discussion.

  • Forge has been forked
  • If you remember the drama back when Fabric came around or even before then: the head developer of Forge has been what the youfs call a “discord moderator” for a long time. A petty tyrant stifling innovation and using his stranglehold on the entire Minecraft modding community to suppress competition and simply people he doesn’t like. The behavior was tolerated because no alternative was developed/popular enough to gain influence.

    Not sure what the final straw was though. Perhaps a critical mass of mod devs escaping to Fabric.

  • Do metals concentrate at the bottom of boiled water after being cooled off?
  • You don’t have to wait for it to cool. As water evaporates the dissolved solids in it reach a higher concentration. If the concentration becomes greater than the molecule’s solubility it will precipitate and fall to the bottom.

  • Our new neighbors suck CW: sad
  • Yeah invasive species are bad regardless of how cute they are. In the aquarium hobby pretty much all of the coolest species are invasive. I’m not completely happy about banning imports for the hobby, but I still support it. That’s just the cost of being a responsible pet owner.
