If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have “default blacklists” for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don’t want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.
Because SpaceX satellites are coated in special reflective materials to reduce brightness. That requires the satellite to be oriented the right way to reflect the light from the sun away from the planet, so it only reduces brightness of the satellites in the operational orbit. Satellites immediately after deployment or in space debris dodging mode are far more visible.
Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.
It could happen if there was a very popular instance that didn’t federate with others.
Because lemmygrad is pretty huge and other instances don’t want their new users to be met with a flood of tankie content, most instances are blocking lemmygrad.
I don’t have a script to automatically subscribe to a list of communities on a new account yet, that’s a bit more difficult…
Update: Seems to be back up!
German “Catastrophe” is “Katastrophe”. “Katzastrophe” is “Katze”+“Katastrophe”, which in english would be “cat” + “catastrophe”… oh.
It’s just the site, 3rd party apps still work lol…
Edit: Partially. RIF works on r/all, but not the home page.
For people who previously used SMS and had their contacts saved in the phone’s pre-installed contact app, WhatsApp could use all those contacts out of the box.
