Don't federated instances just exacerbate already existing problems with places like Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter? Specifically admin/mod abuse, excessive reposting/cross-posting, server lag/issues?

So considering there’s a substantial push to get away from places like Reddit and Twitter, as an outsider I’m wondering how the fediverse is going to actually provide solutions to some already bad problems within higher resource platforms:...

When a site doesn't redirect you to where you were after it nags you to log in to see content

God I hate this! Never fails, either. I’d be on a page of someone’s profile or some piece of content I’d like to see but I’m required to log in. Okay, I will do so. So I do and it doesn’t redirect me back! It just puts me in the front page, like no thanks, just bring me to where I was!

(meta) Does anyone whose lemmy account is here notice missing comments/votes/etc on posts from other instances?

Anyone hosting Lemmy and Mastodon on the same server?

I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants...

Matte paintings

I’m wondering if anyone here has managed to purchase quality prints of any of the matte paintings featured in star trek? I’ve done a bit of searching online without much luck. I’m finally living in a place where I can hang things on the wall and thought it would be nice to have some framed matte paintings of Bajor,...
