Not that it's a competition, but we have 1.2 million hectares burned in British Columbia this year, vs. the 180 thousand for all of EU. I just found the scale remarkable. We just have so much less dense population in BC that the number of people affected in the EU is drastically different. Stay safe everyone.

Agreed, but also eye-witness testimony is notoriously inaccurate.

Usenet requires paying for a service though, right?

The confirmation on exit (back button when on the main screen) is why I stayed with this instead of the other apps I've tried!

But agreed, having something like that as an option makes sense.

Watch your cornhole, bud

My guess is someone at the credit card company screwed up. May have even been someone new.

I think the idea here is that it's a man-made reservoir and they're not worried about maintaining an ecosystem.

I see the issue is closed, does that mean another request for this sub will work?

I'm not sure why you're telling me what you want but I think it works the way I would expect it to. The comment I long press collapses.

As already mentioned you can do this by long press, but I think there is also a setting to flip between what long and short press do.

 

I've noticed this in many places in the Lemmyverse in my first few days here. When first signing up almost all the instances were listed as having 2 or less active users. The biggest was Lemmy.ml at something around 1000. Then I've seen those numbers listed in other places including a post yesterday that is supposed to help bring redditors to Lemmy.

These numbers will just get most people to turn around and not even consider Lemmy as an alternative.

I saw a GIF today showing the growth of user accounts on Lemmy instances and Lemmy.ml (for example) was over 30000 and many of the other servers were in the 100s, approaching 1000. That's a HUGE difference and indicates a community that is 10 times (or more) more active than the initial numbers presented indicate.

Any thoughts? Am I out to lunch?

 

As I'm posting things, I'd like to avoid reposting stuff. But it's hard to tell if right now if I am, especially in more active communities, because I have to scroll through the existing posts manually.
