Happy first birthday to all the lemmy.zip users!

It truly was an eventful year on our little corner of the internet, and I’m so happy I was able to witness it. I truly love our little instance and just wanted to thank the amazing admins and also every member of .zip for being part of this incredible community! ❤️

Happy birthday everyone!

The site has all current clients so I’d recommend checking it. As for me, I use Element X. It’s not bad, the only annoying thing is that it’s always asking me to turn on chat backup but when I do it encounters an error. But besides this, it’s alright, it does everything I need it to do.

The most popular such alternative is Matrix.

I decided to finally pick up Helldivers and I couldn’t be happier with it. The missions are entertaining and the community is great! The game is just… fun! There are still some bugs, like when I got stuck in the door of the extraction ship and died to a fire tornado lol, but those are rare, most times being just visual.

I don’t feel like it’s necessary. The technology community is more than enough for Reddit and everything also related to technology, making a separate comm just for Reddit feels a little excessive. As for blocking, most apps have keyword blocks so people can already view the community without the Reddit-related stuff.

I haven’t gone fishing in a long time but from my experience it’s really peaceful. As another commenter said, kind of like meditation. Also, catching the fish feels really rewarding.

Most people just love the thrill and some crank it to 11. Once we went fishing with my grandfather and his friends, in a regular small boat. With us was a guy they had met there last year, who had bought a pretty expensive boat just for fishing, not to talk about all the other equipment he had.

It’s a passion for a lot of people.

Let’s not forget the people who were just straight up banned when they expressed their disapproval of banning the pirate communities.

You’re definitely right, a lot of the time this place feels like Reddit lite

Frankly, it’s just way too big, which can make performance bad, makes it a target for attacks and due to the huge user base it’s harder to upgrade. That’s why .world is still on 0.18.5 while most of lemmy is at 0.19.3.

Also, from what I’ve seen the admins can get a bit powertrippy.

Fair enough

Isn’t that intentional though? I don’t believe many instances, especially the small ones, can afford to federate every community. Sure, sometimes it can be a bit annoying but you can always check on lemmyverse.

They really are amazing. Glad to have you with us 😊

Saw you recently created an account here. You truly are everywhere lol

Oh definitely, I find them very enjoyable to read. Took a short break after the first book, starting A Clash of Kings tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement!

I’ve seen only NOT_RICHARD@lemmy.today post them. A two day account as well

Seems like the guy has dug up his USA bad folder

Saw the same thing twice on one of those “advertisements”. I guess it’s probably trolling and mostly lack of moderation

Albania

Why can’t we contribute just to have fun, why should there be some kind of an award? Besides, that’s just like the awards on Reddit and we know how well those work. The same one-liner under every post, flooded with awards.

This system just encourages farming and creates a hive mind mentality. Lemmy is great the way it is.

Lemmy has been feeling pretty empty the past couple of days. That just really goes to show how important federation really is.
