It does. And Firefox is my default browser app.

I hear you, but genetic change at the level of these diseases and traits can take on the order of hundreds of thousands of years or more to accumulate into meaningful trends. Social society is a part of that process, in the way it might be for other social animals. If social dynamics tend to result in communities harboring vulnerable individuals, then there is probably some selective advantage to that behavior, not the other way around.

This is a common misconception. These traits are not likely due to modern medicine (which is very, very new compared to the scale of human evolution). The environment plays a big role, but there is always a distribution of traits in a normal population, some good, some bad. Not to mention that what we might be self-selecting for must change very rapidly as civilizations rise and fall, preferences shift like the winds, and ethics rapidly evolve. I think this misconception can be dangerous, because of what you mentioned. Eugenics.

The internet is a series of tubes.

Use KeePass!! It’s an opensource, offline if you’d like, password manager that doesn’t trust any third party servers to manage your sensitive information. https://keepass.info/

I really like the idea. There one major issue that I see currently, and that is discoverability. It takes some real effort and time to explore things outside of your own instance. I think the federation of pre-federation content will be important for discoverability, since the foundation of a community is in it’s ranking of posts, which takes time and interaction. Right now, votes, comments, and most posts pre-federation on another instance are just not reachable.

I believe this problem can be solved, and there are a lot of motivated developers here, so I’m all in on lemmy.

Can you link to or describe the API support for this behavior?

It seems like there are a few different issues:

• There is no way to discover communities for the first time for a particular instance without leaving your instance webpage
• Viewing a previously unfederated, or recently federated server is missleading, since votes and comments are missing, and so posts are not sorted, and also often missing since they were posted pre-federation.
• Even on a federated instance, there is no interface to view all the communities present on that instance.(especially ones older than the date of federation) without leaving your home instance (appearing to be logged out)

All these issues put together makes for a clunky discovery process, and separates the ability to interact with a community from the act of viewing it for the first time. (You have to leave your instance to view it in it’s entirety, but since you’re no longer logged in, you can no longer interact with these posts unless you copy and search for every individual post AND each comment that you want to interact with from your home instance)

I thought I’d leave a link to some discussion of these issues on the github. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3105

Use tor.

How far back will posts and comments appear? I’ve had issues where I’m getting like 10% of the votes, comments and posts from communities on other instances.

Good book, I took the same idea from there too I think.

I like the first-in-last-out sort method. I mentally order the shelves from top-to-bottom, left-to-right, like one long linear list of books. As I pick books off the shelf and read them, I always put them back at the top left of the book case, and shift the rest to the right and down as needed. Then I see my favorite or recently read books in one location, and books I’ve never even touched at the bottom.

Also been experiencing this. Some instances are having issues with image uploads also, for posts and community icons/banners
