I've also got an account on kbin, it does show you what instance you're posting to, but it's not particularly noticable. I've had to look for it multiple times there.

It's a chicken and egg problem, unfortunately. Cities won't improve conditions for cyclists if they only see car traffic and people will avoid cycling under bad conditions.
Okay, that makes sense the more I think about it. That's what mods are for, ultimately.
It's clear she like to pick fights but maybe you could put that in a way that isn't disparaging to people with mental illnesses?

You're so insufferably cocksure in your positions everywhere else, but when someone honestly asks what a tankie is, you just get defensive and can't master up the courage to just say what it is that you stand for? I really get the impression that you're just here to stir up shit.
Looking at lemmy.world/instances, it explicitly federates with lemmygrad.ml
Kinda worrying to me that the two biggest instances link to the biggest tankie instances.
Huh, I've had a pretty good impression from Beehaw from the limited time I've spent on Lemmy. Granted, I've not actually tried to register there, I just went to Feddit and was approved nigh instantly.
Although it really shouldn't be hard pin down what kind of community they want to build on Beehaw, they have several longform posts about this on !support@beehaw.org
I get that writing these little applications and the prospect of rejection is pretty stressful, it had me worried when I first joined Lemmy, too (although I guess Feddit is/was a lot less picky than Beehaw). Ultimately, though, most of these various instances have to keep a lid on how much they grow since their resources are far more limited than lemmy.world
I feel like there's a lack of communities dedicated to specific games. Sure, I can see communities for Pokemon and Zelda right now, albeit on lemmy.ml
But somehow, we don't have any major Minecraft communities? I liked the subreddits for modded Minecraft and Hermitcraft. Apart from that, the Terraria sub had its moments as well.
Yeah, there's been some good posts on those subs but I hope there won't be a repeat of racially segregated Twitter subs.
I mean, I straight up don't want a Twitter curation community here at all, just let Twitter die already. But separating those subs by race was a particularly unfortunate choice.
We already have some regional instances with the various feddits, so I guess we're covering that niche from that angle. Granted, I don't know of any city-level communities, but lemmy as a whole would need to be bigger for such communities to be really viable.
Disabling downvotes is a feature in the lemmy software afaik, but apparently it affects the users on that instance rather than its communities, which certainly seems like it should be the other way around.
