I want to be attached to them, know their backstory and motivation, ya feel?

it’s arbitrary and the developer probably didn’t expect Lemmy to grow that big lol

I like to live in the blurriness

Even when I saw you, I don’t want to bother you

how programmers see other programmers?

is there a way to see lemmy instances sorted by subscriber amount ? I might wanna join the smaller ones lol

this isn’t very reliable as it relies on someone (be it real person or a bot) to archive the specific post / answer.
if your post / answer gets in the front page or all or popular, there might be a chance, but if it died in ‘New’ ? fat chance there’s an archive for it.

there are instances in the past where big players acquire the small ones and while at first they seem to be cooperative, it ultimately destroys the small players, one such case is XMPP the open chat protocols long before we have Matrix, killed by Google

I guess this is a cautionary action, better to grow slower rather than be killed by Meta.

I kinda sorta getting used to kbin, lemmy, mastodon and such, but peertube is a different beast altogether. I still have no idea how to find videos
