Are posts supposed to be exactly synced across instances?

I’m very new here but I decided to check and compare the posts in a community on lemmy.world (where I have my account) and that same community on the instance where it resides and the posts were almost all completely different! Is that how it’s supposed to work or are they supposed to be synced? Sorry if this is a noob...

Prediction: AT-style decentralized hoarding of the web

The more that content on the web is “locked down” with more stringent API requests and identity verification, e.g. Twitter, the more I wonder if I should be archiving every single HTTP request my browser makes. Or, rather, I wonder if in the future there will be an Archive Team style decentralized network of hoarders who, as...

I read a book recommendation from this community, it was good!

I can’t recall which exact thread it was, but I was reading a book recommendation thread and the book “A Year in the Life Of Ancient Greece” by Philip Matyszak was recommended. I enjoyed learning about ancient Greece in the past and this seemed manageable (under 300 pages), so I read it over the course of this last week....

Is anyone defending the Rebuilders?

I want to be clear on my bias here: I firmly believe that open source would not be a ‘thing’ if it weren’t for Red Hat. Linus Torvalds himself once said (albeit 10 years ago) that the shares he received from Red Hat before their IPO was ‘his only big Linux payout’. I don’t think anyone would disagree with the...

Guide: The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC. With Pictures and everything!

I’m putting this together because I posted a while ago about using IRC to acquire ebooks on Reddit, and there was a metric shit ton of interest from others in learning how to do it. Much of this info is available on the net, but it can be difficult to track down if you don’t know exactly what to look for....

How do I find a list of communities sorted by popularity?

I’m using Liftoff but also checked out Connect and am trying to figure this out. (It took me multiple tries just to create an account so bear with me!). How can I find popular communities? I found a master list but it was in alphabetical order and wouldn’t let me sort by subscriber count.

Any VPNs comparable to IVPN and Mullvad by privacy, but also have port forwarding?

Since IVPN and Mullvad are both phasing out port forwarding, are there any alternatives? I am not looking for something like NordVPN which is a privacy nightmare. AirVPN is also not private enough considering I’ve seen reports online of ISPs sending out DMCA letters of gold to its users.

How are you keeping up with new selfhosted apps?

I’ve calmed down a bit but still would like to know if there are any new ‘cool’ apps to selfhost. I know of the awesome-selfhosted github repo. Any other great sources, and could we incorporate something like that into our selfhosted community here? Maybe a bot that checks if any new ones been added?

Can I add pills?

So I take fluoxetine for depression and anxiety. I need to take 40mg a day. I have enough 40mg pills to get through the week, but I also have a bunch of 20mg pills. They are both delayed-release capsules. The difference is basically the dose. I can schedule a psychiatrist appointment to get a refill, but that requires a phone...
