Australia- Safe to drink. The water is chlorinated and fluoridated (for dental health).
I'm not 100% sure if the water is fluoridated across the whole country or just in my state
The algorithm sucks too. When I sort by "hot" I get days old threads. "Ht" needs to prioritise both popularity and recency
Disappointing, but oh well? The upcoming Olympics gets a lot of slack, but I reckon it'll put us on the "big boy list" of Australian cities. Lang Park has horrible acoustics anyway
They could be legit users, FWIW, and just not understanding Lemmy enough to know what an "instance" is. Nowhere else on the internet (except Mastodon) is it a "thing" to have different instances of the same site iteracting.
Half of my comments are about Lemmy not being ready yet, or a viable alternative to Reddit. It's not a "big lie". I'm currently relying on the hover-over text to know where the icons are, brcause they're not loading for some reason. I'm confident that decentralised social media will never take off, brcause the point of social media is to bring people together rather than stick them on different servers.
My attempt to subscribe to this sub has been pending for 2 days.
Do we need a new mod somehow, or i there a more active Brisbane community?
Been trying to find an open source speaker designing program and so far they all suck
RedReader isn't actually. Reddit granted them an exemption, partially because it's FOSS
The great thing about using free open-source software is the immunity from corporate shenanigans.

I log into my instance (lemmy.ml) and click a post on the front page that's hosted on another lemmy instance (eg lemmy.world).
-
I post a comment, which works fine, becase it opens within a container in lemmy.ml, where I'm registered
-
I get a reply which open in my inbox.
-
I go to inbox and click "show context", to know what comment chain I'm replying to.
-
Now I'm bounced to a different instance and can't reply in an instance tha I'm not registered in
Is there any way to handle this? To view the comment chain without being bounced to a post that you can't reply to, despite posting on it earlier?
It's a term that broadly refers to people with more experience in a technology and more ability to extract use from it.
Usually there'll be freeleech files or freeleech days etc. This alows you to download without affecting your ratio.
Download a heap of freeleech content ans seed it 24/7. I was on a porn tracker and downloaded a few 20gb site-rips on freeleech. If 5 people download the full site off me, that's 100gb of ratio.
Try download some big files that you'll be one of the few seeds of after a while. If you only download content with 2000 seeders then you'll never get a good ratio, but if you can download some full TV series on freeleech then people will occaisionally want to watch the show and you can seed it to them

Currently users of Lemmy are "power users". The fact that power users can't even work out how to use Lemmy 'properly' is sign of its future
I distro hop a lot. After using Majaro (gnome) for a long time I switched to Pop_OS for a long time. I switched back to Manjaro (Gnome) again, but after a week of use I've just downloaded Ubuntu.
I'm getting basic display issues that I've never got in another distro (including tails!) and it's generally annoying me. I'd rather use a distro that doesn't require troubleshooting on Day 1
