Yeah but usually it’s just “try piefed”, with a smug tone so it’s kind of hard to take people seriously.

Aside from that, adoption becomes a hassle for everything fediverse due to the whole pick your server thing, I went from fmhy to nsfw to dbzero to cafe… I’d be so happy if picking a server would not require so much trial and error.

This is being overly simplistic IMO. Lemmy is not a direct copy paste of reddit, just the idea is the same.

But he’s not wrong on a practical level, the content is almost the same on reddit and here, even the memes are being reposted from there to here and then reposted over and over.
To me, seeing the same content multiple times on the All feed makes it seem emptier, like I can just check it once a day and I won’t be missing anything. I blame the accounts that post content on multiple instances/communities instead of posting once and letting it federate and the reposters who just recycle content over and over… maybe those who keep blindly upvoting too.

A normal user doesn’t have any incentive to leave reddit if they are going to find the same things.

If there’s something you are passionate about there’s nothing stopping you or anyone else from spinning up a community or instance about it and creating the niche communities everyone seems to miss.

Yeeeeah no, as I said on another comment, creating a new instance requires some kind of investment, might be monetary, learn a new skillset or dedicating time to keeping it up, it’s not something anyone can do/afford and as time goes on, it might escalate if you plan to preserve everything.
A new community… maybe, but then you’re gonna have to go instance jumping until you find one that fits you and it might be quick or you might never find one.

But some features don’t make sense or seem half-assed, like blocking instances at user level, it should also block every user from that instance, but for some weird reason it doesn’t, you don’t see the post from that instance, but posts on other instances made by those users and comments from users of that instance are still visible… So we are still forced into instance jumping until we find one that aligns with what we deem acceptable… And that could take a while.

Or the fact that Lemmy users talk a lot about privacy but the delete function doesn’t really delete the content as it can be easily restored at any moment.

I just use Image Glass as image viewer and Icarus for the miniatures. For the videos I use MPC-HC.

My problem with eating it is the lack of actual recipes or know-how, almost every tutorial says to make oil or butter but I don’t really like the idea of heating them twice (one to mix with the weed, a second time to cook). Cannabic milk is a decent alternative, baking is expensive (at least where I’m from), same for candies.

Sometimes I just add it to my food before reheating in the microwave and it works, but I know it isn’t ideal.

There’s also vaping… But it’s fucking expensive over here, also making more trash with the batteries (even if can be recharged) and the induction heated ones are extremely expensive… Like… No.

My bong might not be the healthiest option with all the smoke, but for now it’s the middle ground for me until marketing allows cheaper alternatives
