What's stopping him?
  • Of course Biden shouldn't do anything heinous, but he definitely should do something earthshaking against either Republican party or the Supreme Court just to make a point.

  • Lemmy is the best social media
  • Lemmy is an improvement on Reddit, but imo not by much. There really is no innovation on the fundamental concept of subreddits/communities. The issue with Lemmy is that I've come across so many promising communities that quickly die off after the initial spurt of activity. I wonder if there is a better organic way to grow the "online discussion" from some form of general cespool, that can segementize only later when those needed segments (communities) emerge naturally.

  • Does Higgs exist in nature or is it merely artificially synthesized particle?

    In nuclear chemistry elements beyond Plutonium do not occur in nature and are synthesized artificially. Is it a similar case for Higgs boson too?

    If so, how does it give mass to particles if it doesn't exist? Did scientists create Higgs at LHC in 2011 just to make sure our universe exists through some kind of circular causation?

    I'm obviously not understanding this properly. Please dispel my misunderstandings with reasonable explanations!

    If a photon passes through a region of space, will that region of space exert a gravitational pull on a particle outside it?

    Also, would a region of space where light spends more time traversing it become more massive than a similar region of space where light doesn't spend that much time all else being equal?

    Is there anything else that I could upgrade on this Flicker Strike Slayer?

    https://pobb.in/JHrrWVC_evxR

    I bought a rare sword for 60 div a while back to upgrade from Starforge. I got Mageblood already. Now I’m not sure what else to do. I got like 200 div worth of junk farmed and I got no motivation to liquidate it. If there would be a significant upgrade, I’d have a reason to go through all the annoying pricechecking and trading process.

    How do I search for posts in a specific community?

    I wanted to check if the community I was about to post in already had a similar post. When I selected that community in the search page and typed in the keywords, I still got the results from other communities and instances.

    [solved] App doesn't ask log in, there's no button to log in, there's no option to log in in any of the menus, meanwhile it asks you to Log in first when you click on Profile, Search or Inbox etc.

    EDIT: Solution: There is a hidden sidebar, which you access by swiping from left. There's Anonymous on top if you're not logged in. You click that and have an option to add an account.

    US Energy Dept got two ransom requests from Cl0p in data breach

    The ransom requests from the Russia-linked extortion group came to its nuclear-waste facility and the scientific education facilities that were recently hit in a global hacking campaign.

    Proposal how to write links to communities in lemmy

    Hopefully in future lemmy autotranslates links for us, but meanwhile I suggest the following method.

    Let's say we want to link https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy

    Write it like this

    [c/asklemmy](/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml)

    Which will result in the following link:

    c/asklemmy

    This will make sure that the user clicking the link gets taken not to the original instance of the community, but to the community's reflection in user's instance where they can subscribe.

    EDIT: Unfortunately this link type is currently crashing Jerboa. Hopefully that gets fixed in future.

    EDIT2: For small communities it is recommended to append instance in the title, especially if a huge community with the same title already exist on another instance. Like this:

    [c/asklemmy@lemm.ee](/c/asklemmy@lemm.ee)

    c/asklemmy@lemm.ee

    EDIT: Caviat - these links will work only if the community is already cached in the user's instance. If the user is first to subscribe, they'll have to get to it manually.

    The r/yogscast subreddit has gone back online, but there's a discussion about further going dark. I hope yougnoughts will migrate to fediverse.

    [solved] My posts don't show up in my profile when I'm logged in, but it still shows I have made 7.

    But when I visit my profile page in ingognito mode all my posts do show up.

    https://lemm.ee/u/Hedup/view/Posts/sort/TopAll/page/1

    This makes it hard to find my old posts.

    EDIT: I had "Show Read Posts" unclicked in my settings. When I click it, my posts in my profile show up once again.

    There will be no more rides to Hel on bus 666. The bus to the town of Hel on Poland’s Baltic coast has long been popular with tourists. But some Christian conservatives have protested what they see as Satanic overtones of a bus using the number symbolizing the devil leading to a place that sounds li...

    Is it a known bug when I quietly doomscroll and suddenly my page gets poppulated with tons of new 1 upvote posts disrupting my doomscrolling process?

    I am experiencing this using this page.

    Is this just lemm.ee or also occurs for other lemmies?

    [solved] Subscribing to a community on a different instance is so annoying!

    So far for me the process is very convoluted:

    1. I go to https://browse.feddit.de/ and find the community.
    2. Then I need to copy it's name.
    3. Then I need to go to my particular instance (lemm.ee)
    4. Then I type manually in my browser address bar lemm.ee/c/<communityname>
    5. Then I go back to https://browse.feddit.de/ and copy the address of the original instance of the community.
    6. Then I go back and add the original instance address to already typed thing in step 4 like this lemm.ee/c/<communityname>@<originalinstanceofcommunity>
    7. Then I can finally subscribe!

    Oh my God! Please, tell me there's a better way of doing this!

    EDIT: There is a better way! Solution is to ... use the search function in your instances home page and select community (if it exists already) and search. This way I don't need to go to browse.feddit.de anymore. And links will take me straight the the communities "reflection" in my own instance, where I can subscribe.
