- Comment on What would happen if I changed fedi server software but keep same domain? 12 hours ago:
while I don’t know the answer to the question, I am very certain that
or would whole fediverse crash
is not it; if that could make the whole fediverse crash, someone could do it maliciously. At most it will cause problems delivering your messages or delivering messages to you.

Media organizations typically don’t want to post (only) to discussion groups, they want to provide a way to follow them as organizations.
That being said, @heiseonline@social.heise.de does sometimes mention threadiverse communities in its posts so they appear in those communities.

- Comment on How to open links from saved on one user but in a different username/instance? 1 week ago:
probably not, maybe you could ask a former sysadmin of lemm.ee whether they have a copy of the database and can extract this data from you, but if that doesn’t work, they’re probably gone
- Comment on Uniciv (open-source android/desktop 4x game) 4.17 release! 1 week ago:
Unciv, not Uniciv. For search result purposes do you want to fix that typo?

- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 1 week ago:
And was mocked where it was first posted too I’m pretty sure.
- Comment on Is there a service to check for reposts? 2 weeks ago:
For a link, you’ll see it after posting if it appears in the list of places the link has been crossposted to, at which point you can delete it.
An image, that is more technically challenging because it requires detecting whether two images are the same, which is not as trivial as it sounds. But for images, I think reposts are no big deal anyway, many people will not have seen it the first time.
- Comment on What is with the obsession with gender neutral language on relationship topics ? 2 weeks ago:
I think it is asking about the rules of a specific subreddit, which seems like an oddly specific question which people here are unlikely to be able to help with.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Gender dysphoria is a real medical condition which I don’t think there’s an equivalent for many other things.

I would say it is, but needlessly complex.

I am not sure I have seen track gauges given in centimeters ever before. Usually I see that standard gauge is 1435 millimeters.
- Comment on Why Making Social Media Companies Liable For User Content Doesn’t Do What Many People Think It Will 3 weeks ago:
On the contrary, it would make it more risky to start a new smaller platform.

- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 3 weeks ago:
in 2025? Vaccines have been available for how many years now? Why does anyone even think about COVID vaccines anymore in this year? We would have figured out any adverse effects by now if there were any.
- Comment on How do you think early humans survived without water bottles? Did they just live next to water sources all the time? 3 weeks ago:
USB C … C … sea … you might be onto something there 😂
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Both human and dog feces have significant variation in how they smell, so this question is somewhat meaningless. Dogs are carnivores, so if you ate meat, your feces is probably going to smell more like dog feces than if you ate only plant-based food.
- Comment on 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo 3 weeks ago:
The article missed that SuperTuxKart has a mode that is somewhat similar to Rocket League.

- Comment on What's a good instance to be on at the moment? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t see a lot of the things you’re trying to avoid on my instance. But I almost always browse “subscribed” and mostly have no idea what’s going on in communities I’m not subscribed to.
- Comment on What happens to the content if an Lemmy instance shuts down? 3 weeks ago:
Federation means that when anything happens on one instance (post, comment, whatever), that instance will also inform other instances of this. Which other instances? The ones that have at least one user who has indicated they are interested in that kind of activity (on Lemmy mostly: by subscribing to the community).
So already now you can see eg my instance’s copy of a lemm.ee community at discuss.tchncs.de/c/cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee and this will not disappear just because lemm.ee goes down. It’s stored in my instance’s database. But it will no longer be possible to post or comment there because that will no longer federate to other instances.
It’s not guaranteed that all of lemm.ee will be accessible elsewhere. Some communities might not have (always had) subscribers from other instances, which would mean no other database has stored those parts.
- Comment on Do instances exist where you can be 13+? 3 weeks ago:
I’m currently unable to find a minimum age requirement on my instance, so she could try that. I’ve never given this topic much thought because Lemmy didn’t exist when I was a minor…
- Comment on It used to be that when most countries were or in trouble or needed help they would go to the US for help. My question is who does the US go to for help if or when needed? 3 weeks ago:
Help with what? The US is part of NATO so if it is attacked militarily, all other NATO countries are obliged to help against such an invasion.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I have several family members who either don’t drive at all or have previously taken several-year-long breaks from driving.
I was significantly older than you are now when I learned to drive at all, I no longer own a car and haven’t driven in approximately 9 months.
If you are in a life situation where you do not need to drive, then it is completely your own decision and you shouldn’t listen to anyone else trying to convince you one way or the other. Most drivers overestimate their abilities; if you yourself feel driving isn’t for you, then it’s better for everyone involved (including others on the road) that you don’t drive. But you still have a long life ahead of you and it’s completely possible you’ll become more confident when some more years have passed.
- Comment on Why can countries recognise both... 4 weeks ago:
They can, it is just that if they do that, the PRC will sever diplomatic relations with such a country. Why that is so, you would have to ask them… neither of the Koreas has such a policy.
The situations are also not exactly the same: out of these, all are members of the United Nations except the Republic of China.
