Because I don’t do well in open ended groups of people. A bit of anxiety mixed with just not knowing how to start conversations with strangers.

Spiders are awesome because they eat the annoying bugs, and its really fun to watch them build a web. Its funny you say too many legs because I love it when I’m out hiking and find a millipede. Basement centipedes are fine as they are another annoying bug eater, I don’t really come across any large centipedes, but I’d probably steer clear of those.

I sure hope millipedes are non venomous, I like playing with them. I would have to look up to verify, but I think some species excrete something when injured that monkeys use.

Sorry about the spiders for you, I’m cautious around hunting spiders, but no phobia.

something, something, don’t frogs eat bugs?

Hmmm, I though everything in that part of the world tries to kill you, or is that just restricted to Australia? The largest near me are the Joro spiders that moved in a few years ago.

Great, now welcome to the internet is stuck in my head for the next month…

My only critique would be the lyrics were great the until the last bit, that was just the original.

I also don’t understand people who watch, but I mean, people must, otherwise it wouldn’t exist as much as I hear it does. I would imagine it has some amount of basis in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction

hopefully in a good way.

Very enjoyable comic. I liked it when it came out, and I liked it when I read it now.

oh, I forgot about two steps from hell / Thomas Bergersen (he has a lot of stuff under just his name). I’ll tick on E.S. Posthumus, don’t know if they have any movie music, but they certainly have the epic soundtrack style. x-ray dog is another one of the companies that puts out tons of soundtracks.
I’ll have to give those others a listen.

I don’t know what it takes to run an instance, but time is a finite resource, and can understand if life takes you to other places and a free website for others falls behind. I can say, that yiffit always seems to be working and to me that is #1. Please don’t take any of my comments or posts about function to mean you aren’t doing enough or there is something more you could do. Lemmy itself still has a 0.x release and lots of bugs/missing features in many aspects.
We not might be a big group here, but it seems to be a pretty good one. I for one don’t miss .ml, and never got the sense they (the developers) were a particularly welcoming bunch. I think even pawb runs off their own fork in case they (.ml) let their views into the code itself. In general blocking from other instances is just something that comes with federation, you will never see everything and the whims of a single admin could cut off large chunks.

I know nothing about sysadmin or moderation, but I’m confident there are others here who do and would help if asked.

Thank you for running yiffit. I have enjoyed my time here, and if it sticks around, I will continue to be here.

Looks like the built in lemmy cross-post link will link to the same community if its been posted before.

No worries from me, No one can be expected to see and remember everything. I just thought it was interesting lemmy itself kinda calls it out with the cross-post label.

This is the kind of thing I step back and take a look at myself and go, “yep, that’s what I find interesting”. I don’t know where the style originated, but this reminds me of Coffeezilla’s style and pacing.

Warning, towards the end there is a chapter titled “A Surprisingly Emotional Series”. It includes bits from 2 of those episodes. And another one of them right at the end.

So I would expect this is related to the inbound queuing discussed on casual conversation, blahaj, and reddthat. Not much is written about the initial sync, but I would think it is a related problem.
My personal tl:dr, because I didn’t read it all or dive into the technical details:
There is only one inbound queue per remote instance, the bigger instances fill the queue up leading to sync problems. This gets worse over large distances (I didn’t really read into why). I guess there was an assumption of more smaller distributed instances than some of the larger ones that popped up. It sounds like a code scaling problem.

username has omega in it, a mouse, profile says from the uk… hmmm. No idea.
