- Comment on If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? 2 weeks ago:
Some even brew beer from it. (I tried it on an AIDA cruise ship, it doesn’t taste any different from any other beer.)
- Comment on How active is Lemmy now? 2 weeks ago:
Can confirm that sorting by new comments makes it appear a lot more active. There’s a reason why old forums’ only sorting method was thread bumping.
- Comment on How are you dealing with the UK's Online Safety Act, that comes into effect this March? 2 weeks ago:
anything teenagers actually want to do and enjoy doing is self-harm, haven’t you gotten the memo that adults know in 100% of all cases what’s good for them a lot better than they themselves do
(To any reader unironically agreeing with the above paragraph, I suggest reading this webcomic.)
- Comment on lemmy should tots let you post things to your own user profile 2 weeks ago:
You can register on an instance with a backend that combines the microblogging fediverse and the threadiverse (afaik: mbin, piefed, friendica), then you can both microblog and post to communities.
- Comment on How does interoperability work between different fediverse services? 2 weeks ago:
Commenting in part to save this thread for later reading when someone more knowledgeable gives a full answer.
Here is what I (think I) know:
- It is possible to follow Lemmy users on Mastodon, which gives you threads they start in your feed, but not comments they make (I have not really tested this, but this is what I remember reading).
- It is possible to follow Lemmy communities on Mastodon, which makes those communities appear as bots that share everything (posts, comments) posted to them (I have done this accidentally before, not realizing that an account I was following was actually a Lemmy community, then wondering why it was only boosting Lemmy posts until I figured it out).
- It is possible to post to Lemmy communities from Mastodon. I don’t know how exactly, but !kde@lemmy.kde.social is a community that gets a lot of posts like that, e.g. discuss.tchncs.de/post/27370850?scrollToComments=… - looks like they simply tagged the community? I am not sure how this works and have never done this.
- If you are seeing a Lemmy thread or comment on Mastodon through one of the above methods, you can reply to it; you can usually tell when someone is doing that when they put @ links to the people above them in the thread into their posts. Here’s a thread full of examples: discuss.tchncs.de/post/27508474?scrollToComments=…
- Comment on Welcome to the Public Domain in 2025 | Internet Archive Blogs 2 weeks ago:
This has to do with how copyright laws changed over time, for example there used to be a requirement in the US for works to have a copyright notice, or for copyright to be renewed, so some things that didn’t meet those requirements became public domain earlier than they could have if the copyright holder had cared about all the formalities.
- Comment on Not federated Lemmy instances? 2 weeks ago:
doesn’t look like either mastodon or lemmy, although its structure is similar to lemmy; from the sidebar it appears they are running something called “scored” which I don’t know anything about
- Comment on Fediverse alternative to fanfiction/writing platforms? (Wattpad, AO3, FFN, etc.) 2 weeks ago:
I mean you could use pretty much any federated blogging software for such purposes.
The clue what ActivityPub is for is in the name: it is for publishing one’s activities (so that others can subscribe to them). Fiction writing isn’t inherently about publishing one’s activities, the main thing you want to do on such platforms is host the content so others find it, not make sure your subscribers are notified about your activities. So it’s not really clear how ActivityPub fits into that use case, although I suppose you could use it to publish the content.

- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 3 weeks ago:
Who is “we”? Speak for yourself, I usually poop after most meals; if I’ve eaten a lot or very spicy or fatty things, I might even poop more than once for the same meal.
- Comment on why does everyone i know treat me like a child or if i was a very childlike person?? 3 weeks ago:
You are one of the very few users here on Lemmy I recognize, and it is not because you’ve been posting very intelligent things. In fact you posted this exact question once already (but seem to have deleted it by now).
I remember being 21 and I was more mature at 21 than you appear to be based on your post and comment history here, in fact I think I was more mature than you are now at around 14.

- Comment on Court orders Automattic to restore WP Engine's access to WordPress.org | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Is there a good ELI5 what this entire dispute is about anywhere? I have been reading many news stories about it, but they all seemed to assume I already knew about it.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The fact that you posted this question without any context on how old you are really, what you look like, how you behave, may be a clue as to your maturity.

- Comment on Just read an article somebody stole 40k from an atm. How is that possible that an atm carries that much? And is it even possible to get inside an ATM if so? 1 month ago:
40k what? Euros, US dollars, pesos, Czech koruna, Ukrainian hryvnia, rubles, Australian dollars, pound sterling?
In my country (in the eurozone), at most ATMs I see, the limit of what I can withdraw at once is € 400 (and I usually do withdraw that much so I do not have to withdraw very often). So € 40000 is enough for 100 people to withdraw their maximum between refillings. 100 people isn’t a lot, certainly not in busy locations.
Someone else posted a picture of USD 100000 in cash which gives you an idea of the volume.
Euros are approximately equal in value to US dollars for those who do not know this and have an idea what US dollars are worth.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 1 month ago:
Someone who has been president before, for four years, was elected president again.
I cannot think of anything less similar to a “point of no return”.
You may think of him or his policies what you want (I personally have a mostly negative opinion of him too!), but we have all had four years of opportunity to observe what he does when he is president.
If you are thinking that Trump is like Hitler, then please point me to anything similar to:
- a Capitol Fire Decree of 2017 that says several parts of the Bill of Rights are suspended until further notice
- an Enabling Act of 2017 that gives the president full power to make law including law that violates the constitution
- laws on the Coordination of the States with the Federation of 2017 or a Law on the Reconstruction of the Federation of 2018 giving the federal government full legislative and executive power over the states
- a Law Against the Formation of Parties of 2017 declaring that the Republican Party was the only political party in the US and anyone attempting to form another party would be imprisoned
- a Law on the Abolition of the Senate of 2018 doing exactly what the title implies
- a Law on Measures of State Self-Defense of 2018 retroactively legalizing dozens of extrajudicial killings of Trump’s political rivals
Oh, none of those things happened in the late 2010s? Then why exactly are you expecting them to happen in 2025 or 2026? What is different now?

they are the same thing, this is just a matter of when they are able to stand up to measure them while standing vs while lying, I think
