Getting used to things here. Signed up with a random instance. Trying to figure out if there is any benefit to signing up with a particular instance, and if it's worth exploring for a better/closer instance to sign up with.
The benefit of having an account on lemmy.world is the amount of content already available on the site. But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account.
I’m on lemmy.world partly because it’s run a team of experienced admins, so uptime has been great (once we’re past this reddit influx).
“But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account.”
I’m obviously still figuring this out, but this doesn’t appear to be completely true, depending on the community. I subscribed to a community on another instance and the content isn’t the same when I visit it from this instance.
Yeah beehaw.org is the big exception to that statement. They’re probably the strictest instance out there, and the result is that beehaw content does not sync properly.
Also RIF user, and while IMO you can use Reddit pretty decently with FF and uBlock on Android, they fucked up big time with their behaviour. No way in hell am I further supporting a company with such a hostile and disrespectful behaviour. So here I am, and hopefully, many communities will follow.
Same thing going on here in Finland. Movie tickets are often 20-25 € for “normal” movies, shit ton of ads to go through and rude customers scrolling Insta or talking through out the movie.
Yeah, it truly is. There are some local smaller and cheaper cinemas here and there, but they usually cant show new movies at all. They are rare, too. There are couple of big movie chains that dominate and effectively force an duopoly/triopoly with their prices.
That’s insane, in the UK we have ODEON which is probably the most expensive cinema at £15ish a ticket and then we have others like VUE where it’s only £6.
