Mediocre_Bard, in What do you feel like life will be like on earth in 100 years?

I think that it will be more or less the same, but with more extreme weather and increased military conflict over resources. People will have their devices, corporations will have people working, bad governments will continue to strip wealth away from their citizens. Somehow, I think Norway will be fine, though I am not sure why.

thebestaquaman,

Fish and Potatoes my brother, fish and potatoes...

alex, in What would be the best way to protect a room from unwated visitors in a low-tech fantasy world?

As many potential rooms as possible in as many locations as possible, and no way to distinguish the right one. Of course, rotate it regularly.

MedicareForSome, in Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

On reddit, half of the users are bots controlled by various corporations and state departments.

Etnies419, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

I was here for... Whatever this is...

genfood, in Reddit alts with similar subs?

I am sorry, but I identify myself as a lemming.

LadyAutumn, in How did Ikea's Blajah became the symbol of the trans community ?

Just sorta happened. It's cute. Sharks are cool.

Hell no, let's please leave that shit on Reddit.

Is Lemmy capable of playing that format of multimedia? And if so, do clients like Jerboa support it? I've also noticed this

Seems to work on kbin. Can upload gifs and images from the comment screen.

BurnTheRight,

I think so. Kbin user avatars can be animated gifs.

@zerozaku @robotdna

Can confirm 🙂

zerozaku,

Is Lemmy capable of playing that format of multimedia?

If it isn't, then it will be the biggest downside of fediverse. But I do remember seeing a gif while I was on my PC.

For the longest time Reddit only supported media through external sites (Imgur, copy, etc).

Memmy (iOS app in beta) supports uploading media to Imgur and then inserting the link, much like Apollo did; hoping to see that extended to other hosting sites as well

ReluctantAxe,

Personally I think that hosting media is not the right move for Lemmy/kbin. Creates a long term never ending cost and liability. Reddit worked fine without hosting for a decade.

nachtigall,

Seems like animated pictures in posts only work if it's in WebP format but in post bodies or comments gif works too. mp4 should be possible in theory but does not play for me. See this test post.

For the apps I doubt it. The native media libraries often lack support for animated images.

fleabomber, in Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

A lot of us have been nofapping reddit for a while so it's it a bit of a release to interact in this familiar way.

ergifruit,

"nofapping Reddit" is the greatest way i've ever seen anyone describe the situation

My only advice would be to have a back up plan. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, and there’s no guarantee you won’t get an unpleasant surprise. You say you’ll use the toilet if you’re about to shit yourself, but what if you can’t make it and do end up shitting yourself because you put it off so long?

KittenBiscuits,

OP is literally asking us the most efficient way to get backed up. What other backup plan could they need?

OP, can you get hold of any stimulant appetite suppressants? They'll pull double doody for you. You'll eat less and be constipated.

FrankTheHealer, in Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?

Is there a dedicated AMA community on Lemmy, Beehaw or Kbin?

/r/AMA good on reddit as it centralized a lot of those kinds of posts. Having an equivalent here on the threadiverse would be fantastic to enable these kinds of events.

Two have been set up on Kbin: (including links for both lemmy and kbin users until the kbin bugs get fixed)
!IAmA (kbin link)
!askmeanything (kbin link)

Dave_r, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

Cheese.

StarkillerX42,

Brie for the first day, then Camembert for the nicely aged flavor. Smell isn’t an issue, right?!?

WarlordSdocy, in Just had a thought about feed sterilization

I think the problem I've noticed with Lemmy is I tend to only get the more popular communities showing up over and over again. Reddit was at least a little better about showing smaller subreddits I visited in my main feed at least somewhat often. Not sure if I just need to change how I sort on Lemmy, I currently use hot and subscribed.

SilentStorms,
@SilentStorms@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

I find sorting by "new comments" is better for now. Hot seems broken

tgxn,
@tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net avatar

Hot and active has improved a LOT in the latest RC release, should be coming to an instance near you soon™

maiskanzler,

Try Top Daily to see new stuff. The ranking will be fixed in a future release of lemmy to sink old but successful post to the bottom of the page and sprinkle in small community content as well.

techtask, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

MREs. Particularly US MREs. You can eat em as much as you want and you won't have to go for a week.

Fear the end of the week, however

whenlifegivesyoureddit,

Glad I wasn't the only one to think ration packs. UK ones used to have similar effects

CanadaPlus, (edited )

Especially if you don't rehydrate them properly. That's where the reputation comes from at least partly.

Edit: Or so I hear.

sethboy66,

What US MRE requires rehydration? Retort pouches are universally used to carry wet rations, I thought the only hydration needed was for drink mixes like instant coffee and drink mixes.

CanadaPlus,

I'm actually just repeating what I've heard. I'll add a disclaimer.

That surprises me, though. It must add a lot of weight. The Canadian ones have dehydrated or partly dehydrated components.
