I know electricity will take the shortest/easiest path to ground, and that path for a wire wrapped around a bigger wire/cable should be shorting through the bigger wire....
Title.
I apologize if there’s posts on this already. I’m still new here, and it’s very confusing....
Are moderators just purely altruistic? Or do they have an ulterior motive?

Hello everyone! To start out, I’d once again like to say thank you to every single one of you for being here. We’re building something awesome here together, and I’m grateful you’ve been with us so far....

But that got me thinking, is it okay? I’m not outright insulting/cyber...
I am going on holiday in 3 days and of course my body decided a couple days ago to catch a cold…right before my long awaited holiday!!...
On Twitter I mostly followed people I knew in real life, comedians, some novelty and parody accounts.

A few months ago I got into an argument on TikTok about this. Some guy posted a video where he pretended to shine a laser pointer at a plane during the day, along with his mugshot and a news story about getting arrested for it. It was clearly a joke/photoshopped because the news story said it happened at midnight....
For instance I know i can navigate to lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] to see the “daystrominstitute” community at startrek.website, but is there a way where I can see all (or even just the most popular) communites at startrek.website, while still logged into my lemmy.ml instance (so i can just hit the subscribe...
What sort of Post to Comment Ratio would you say is a good range for Lemmy / KBin?...
