FYI you’re going to get a lot of downvotes because the source of the comic is a right wing extremist. The art style is recognizable enough that people will probably downvote it on sight, even if you’re repurposing it for a different point.

Needs an additional panel of “When you realize it was your lemmynsfw.com alt”

Think they’re referencing @DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world posting to !taneggs@lemmy.ca

Thanks! Yeah, Lemmy allows for GIFs. Maybe they shouldn’t, because of people like me :)

I don’t see a way to simply lock it down as an admin. I see “Remove” and “Purge community” which both seem to be too nuclear, I assume they’d delete the comm history too.

Lemmy could do a lot better job of showing that a community is on a dead instance. Here’s an issue about warning when posting to defederated instances, which could be considered the same issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2680

There’s a lag in getting emails atm because the infrastructure is shared with pixelfed, which is blowing up right now and the emails are getting rate limited

Was just talking with a friend that downloaded a Mastodon app a while back when Twitter was bought by Elon, encountered the “Choose a server” bit, and bailed after choice paralysis. They’re technical and have a doctorate in Computer Science so it’s not like they couldn’t figure it out, but there’s something in the human psyche where most people don’t want to make choices like that. They’re on Bluesky now and think its great.

IMO sites like https://pixelfed.org/how-to-join and https://join-lemmy.org/ should just have a normal sign up flow, and load balance between all servers that opt in. Looks like that’s going to happen for Pixelfed:
