Mostly aesthetically, but also since Linux Mint is a very stable distro updates are usually slow and the packages it uses are often a little outdated. If you’re the type of person to want to update to the newest thing as soon as it’s out, then it’s probably not for you.

It’s a known issue with Lemmy, it should be fixed by next release.
Pretty much my thoughts as well.
My bet is that they’re going to allow other people from the fediverse to post on it but won’t allow instagram users to see other instances. Wouldn’t want your customers getting off the official servers now.
Sounds like an average patch in Dwarf Fortress. My favorite is “Stopped cats from randomly dying of alcohol overdose”. The dev talked about it in the intro for this interview
I’m currently on kbin and it really is just preference which one you stick with. Like you said, Kbin and Lemmy can communicate with one another. Kbin has more features and better integration with Mastodon, but Lemmy is a simpler platform that isn’t as confusing to get used to.
And we’re about to see a lot more in the following days
You should probably answer those Discord notifications lol
I think it’s a servers thing. Lemmy.ml is under a lot of pressure lately.
Adding to what the other guy said, you can think of Lemmy as a collection of servers. Right now you’re on lemmy.ml, but some people are on https://beehaw.org/ for example. Beehaw is also Lemmy, but it’s a different server with different users and communities.
Here’s what makes the Fediverse cool though. You don’t need to go there to interact with them. You can stay on lemmy.ml and access and comment on Beehaw. When you’re on the home page it defaults to “Local”, but if you click on “All” you can see posts from different servers. Same thing when you click on “Communities” at the top. It lets you browse communities on different servers by clicking “All”.
Let’s say you wanted to browse the gaming community on Beehaw. You can write “gaming” in the search field and find gaming@beehaw.org, or you can just type it into your search bar as https://lemmy.ml/c/gaming@beehaw.org
Now you can browse, comment, vote, and interact with that community. I posted this comment from https://kbin.social/ , which is NOT Lemmy, but since the Fediverse is connected we can basically interact with each other from different websites.
I never really liked Twitter as a concept. It feels like it’s built on an “old man yells at cloud” concept where people just shout their thoughts and nobody gains anything from it.
By comparison forums are there to foster discussions and communities. I thought Mastodon would be better but I spent 5 minutes and it’s exactly the same nonsense.
I’m not quite sure how exactly everything works but it seems like a lot of things on kbin get thrown to /m/random, does anyone know what’s up with that? A lot of communities from lemmy show up as a 404 and posts end up there.
or maybe we acknowledge these issues and browse lemmy for entertainment and getting away from the stresses of daily life rather than be constantly reminded of it and roped into repetitive discussions that are preaching to the choir
err, what I meant was we need to burn down the system
