  • Yeah where I live, there’s a bus every 2 hours that needs ~30 minutes to get to where I work. If I took that, I’d have to walk an additional 15 minutes to my actual workplace and I’d still be an hour too early.
    And after work, I’d have to again walk 15 minutes to the bus stop and wait another 30 minutes for the bus home.

    So between leaving my house and coming back home, there’d be ~11.5 hours. When I use my car, that’s ~9.5 hours.




  • I’m using wefwef and I switched back and forth between wefwef, memmy and mlem.
    Here are some things I considered:

    • Inline images are shown in posts(instead of linked to at the end): mlem, wefwef
    • Opening images and zooming them: memmy, wefwef
    • saving images: memmy (Edit: wefwef too since on of the latest updates)
    • Adjustable text size: memmy, wefwef
    • compact view is actually compact: wefwef, mlem (Edit: memmy too since the latest update)
    • jumping to comments from your inbox: wefwef , Memmy(kind of, shows comment chain of that specific post, but not highlights the comment and has no way of switching to all comments from there)
    • edit comments: wefwef, memmy

    As you can see, wefwef is present in all of these ^^ jumping to comment is a pretty big one for me, aswell as the inline images



  • and have your own community – AKA instance

    The distinction between communities and instances is often poorly displayed in many cases which adds to the general confusion I feel. For example, feedit.de describes itself as “Deutschsprachige(German-speaking) Lemmy Community” and their Logo also states “lemmy community”.
    But it’s not a community, it’s an instance. The “subreddits” inside that instance are the communities, so feddit itself shouldn’t be called community to avoid confusion.

    Edit: Of course there’s also more added confusion when we talk about the Fediverse as a whole, where users on /kbin use the terms magazines and articles instead of comunities and posts and they also have different names for likes and dislikes.



  • Well our mouths wouldn’t change just because they are no longer needed the way they were before.
    It would only change if there was a negative effect of having a mouth and teeth like we have now.

    You could say if we don’t need our teeth anymore, they might disappear over time, but that would only occur if having teeth lead to higher death rates and fewer children being born. But we’ve generally come so far with our technology that we’re not really that much dependend on the “survival of the fittest” rule anymore.

    If we didn’t need our teeth and let those people who have tooth decay die from infections instead of treating them with our modern technology, then very very slowly those who had a random mutation that leads to them not having teeth at all actually have a better survivability than those who have teeth. But as we treat them, they have the same chance of reproducing as everyone else.

    You could also argue that it’s better for survivability to have as few body parts on you as possible that you need to provide energy for and those parts that you have being most energy efficient. So it could be that we at least develop smaller mouths when it’s no longer a benefit of having a bigger jaw etc. But this also wouldn’t happen because there is no reason why someone would die of having to spend too much energy on their body nowadays.


  • I keep switching between Memmy and Mlem because there are things that the other does better.

    For example I like the compact view of Mlem more(Memmy is still too big) and that I can always look at the top to see if I’m on subscribed, local or all.

    Memmy has the better comment view(see instances of users is nice) and the ability to open and zoom pictures and right now the better notifications
