  • those graphs aren’t that great and easy to misinterpret: the 9M is the total number of posts, that were ever posted to lemmy. the graph just shows what that number was for each day (so for example the graph shows 8.9M yesterday and 9M today, that means 100k posts in one day)

    I was mostly just looking at total active users

    but fair point mentioning other fediverse apps




  • Do you think I didn’t read this? You obviously saw that I posted it in another comment, and I am mentioning info from the very text you posted here.

    (Edit: I am realizing I am coming across as kinda hostile here, but I genuinely just want to understand your thought process behind posting this)

    If you read the comments of the answer you copied, the OP of the question also said the following:

    The following solutions worked: Static ARP entries and subnet-directed broadcasts. You may use one of both if you have the same scenario. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    Them mentioning that one ‘may use one of both’ makes me believe there is a way to make this work properly with unicast. The serverfault post is also mentioning the need to manage several machines this way, which is why I believe the answer you copied suggested using broadcast, as managing ARP entries for several machines could become tedious and unreliable.



  • I think this is how you split it:

    Pneumono-ultra-microscopic-silico-volcano-coni-osis

    • Pneumono = lungs
    • Ultra = very
    • Microscopic = very small
    • Silico = stone (silica)
    • Volcano = …
    • Coni = dust
    • osis = medical condition

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m hearing this term for the first time so I might very well be off. Though I will say I am German and we do love our compound words, so I’m fairly confident this is at least getting the gist of things

    So to conclude I think this just means “medical condition in the lungs caused by very fine volcanic dust”

    How the -ism suffix would change the meaning, I’m not sure. I don’t think it would mean denial of said medical condition, though.





  • The problem is that by all intents and purposes, lemmy.ml is the default instance for people that want to join lemmy.

    I really don’t think this is true. When I google “Lemmy” or “Lemmy signup” I only get join-lemmy.org. When you press “Join a Server”, it asks you about language and interests only. By default, it will give a random sorting, instead of the “most active” option. To be fair, the “most active” option gives you .ml as a first result if you previously selected all topics, general, politics or technology as interests, but this whole situation doesn’t seem like .ml is the instance most new users will automatically flock to.
