Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?
I guess it’s self explanatory but I keep seeing all this stuff about how everyone is moving from Reddit to lemmy and I’m wondering if anyone knows if that’s really what’s happening. If you have numbers that’s even better....
How do we know that everyone on the internet isn't just a bot?
I mean, there might be a secret AI technology that is so advanced to the point that it can mimic a real human, make posts and comments that looks like its written by a human and even intentionally doing speling mistakes to simulate human errors. How do we know that such AI hasn’t already infiltrated the internet and everything...

How do I set Lemmy to fully expand images?
Right now, the only method I found is to click on the expando, then right click on the image and open it in a new tab. Is there a way to make it so I can just click it once? I can’t imagine any possible scenario where I’d want to see a large but not full size image....
Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?
Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.
How do you see posts you've liked/upvoted?
Are the ages 25-30 people see the most drastic changes in personal circles/friends?

I've forgotten the password to a word .docx file I made 9 months ago, is there any chance I can get in without knowing it?
Brute forcing would be fine, since I don’t think I would’ve used a long password for this, but I don’t know how to automate that either. Any ideas?
