Just click it to cancel, then try again. It can take a few tries. I think it's an effect of overloaded servers.

and you can have repeats of communities for the same things.

So can Reddit? You could have /r/tech and also /r/technology. How were users supposed to decide? One eventually wins and becomes the big sub.

Same will happen (and already is happening) here.

That's what I thought was so cool about Apple Vision. No controllers, UI is navigated by eye tracking...

And more focus on non-gaming tasks that should be much more small space freindly.

To be fair, in some countries they are.

And especially in younger age groups, in certain countries, the vast majority are on iPhone.

I think in the US iPhone is up to 70% of people 18-30.... and for teens something crazy like 90%.

I'm not defending Apple's practices here but you must understand for some, the vast majority of people they know and actually talk to are iPhone users.

Reddit hides partial blackout by going full blackout lmao

The way activitypub works is that each community has a list of every server that has at least one subscriber to that community.

Every time someone does something in that community, the community sends all those servers a message that tells them what just happened.

So instead of a few hundred servers it might have to inform of your one upvote of a post, it would have to basically inform every user (every user's server)

It would be bad, it's not designed to do that.

That would be nice, though it doesn't sound like @christianselig@mastodon.social is very interested as far as I can tell.

Being a day one Apollo user the friction of using the official app or mobile browser version of Reddit is high enough to make it basically impossible unless I WANTED to force myself, and I don't. July 1st Mlem will go where Apollo currently sits in my app drawer. As it is I really only go on Reddit to watch the place burning. I have nearly 200 comments here on lemmy in just a few days, it's replacing Reddit just fine so far. Yes we're missing a lot of niches but we'll get there.

And that only effects outbound federation basically? So a small instance shouldn't have much issues with this, even if it's subscribed to a lot of very busy communities?

Technically no, but they put all their update info and support for docker.

Note that this is just basically a script to deploy lemmy on a remote server. And it uses docker. It just does it for you. (Mostly)
