I once bought a router to use for my internet when I moved into my new house just to find out that it "wasn't compatible" with Verizon's service. I still have it (because I'm terrible about returning things). Is there any point in keeping it? Is there anything fun or interesting that I could do with it?
I just don't fully trust the ISP router, so I disabled the wifi and hooked it up to my own router. If the ISP router gets hacked, my internal network doesn't get exposed.
Port forwarding is a bit harder, but you probably aren't even doing that at all (and it still works anyway, it's just an extra step).
So I notice that KBIN and BEEHAW and LEMMY all have duplicate pages dedicated to the same content. Are we as a community going to have to decide which page will be the 'main' page, will we have to subscribe to each magazine for each instance, or will they consolidate eventually?...
Was? My front page is completely obliterated. I'm here now, because none of the subs I'm interested in have opened up again. It's all permanently closed.
It looks like kbin.social is in the final stages of migrating their site, and merging a whole bunch of improvements. Having their ~5k users federating with us again will be nice
I've noticed in the explosion that we are getting duplicate communities in multiple instances. This is ultimately gonna hinder community growth as eventually communities like 'cats' will exist in hundreds of places all with their own micro groups, and some users will end up subscribing to duplicates in their list....
Keep in mind that even on reddit it doesn't work like that. For anything popular you generally end up with 2 or 3 large subs and then a smattering of smaller spin offs/specializations.
So here it's basically the same, except that you end up with several with the exact same name on multiple servers. They don't have to be on popular instances and there will likely be a number of specialized instances around a specific topic.
How important are reddit-style flairs for people? There's the raised issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317 which has it listed as a far-future, with questions as far as how to handle federation....
As a mod, I use userflairs to restrict certain people from posting, which cuts down on offtopic posts. And yes people can intentionally incorrectly flair themselves, but in general they won't do that (most rule breaking offtopic posts aren't done intentionally, they just never read the rules).
What's the point of having another router?

Sooo...how do I stop from seeing the same 20 posts over again?
I know there's supposed to be a "hide read posts" setting, and maybe I'm blind, but I don't see it.
The Reddit blackout was pretty underwhelming
