After switching to the fediverse, I should also replace Google.

Not necessarily. One step to a better internet at a time. Sometimes people get overwhelmed by free software solutions because they try to do everything at once.

But with what?

I’ve tried a lot but replacing google search is not easy. You can of course use a meta search engine like searx which is great but then you hand your search traffic directly to some random instance owner. You could also use startpage which is basically a firewall for google search. duckduckgo does work and I use it sometimes but the search results are definitely worse than google’s. The bangs are a nice feature though.

Interesting! Hope your school goes well. Pop OS is an operating system. I guess it was just a coincidence you commented there.

Same movie for me and same impression too. Not sure if the monster’s were even necessary. Also it had more of a “run away from the explosion” vibe than a “oh this uboat is about to implode” vibe. But I can confirm it is ok-ish.

Edit: That’s crazy. I’ve looked at your profile since I thought it’s a funny coincidence. I’ve also lived in South Korea for a while and I’ve also used Pop OS in the past. Really interesting. May I ask what you are doing in Jeju-Do?

Ubuntu

In my old gamer life probably Mario Kart 64 in my new gamer life I restarted after working Endless Space 2 or Go/Baduk (if you some up all clients for that game)

I wanted to download some ASL games

Hhahaha I see

You can still view content from instances that defederated from your instance as long as your instance didn’t block them.

Last time I checked this didn’t work for afreeca.tv

What would be the use case for having two accounts?

The first thing I did after creating an account here was to go to Settings and find the setting to change that. And I mean at least that option exists and is easy to find. My guess is that the feature of suggesting “subs” after creating an account does not exist yet and just showing an empty feed is not that great.

Where is the downvote button on lemmy?

Someone else explained this pretty well in an answer. If that guy is correct neither users from instance B nor C will see the comment from the A instance user. This is because the post is hosted on instance B. And A-B are not federated (because of the block from B’s side). This causes the comments from A to not be synched with B and therefore also not with C by proxy.

Thanks that makes sense. I understand that if I’m on a third instance that is federated with both lemmy.world and beehaw.org, and I click on a beehaw.org post then I would not be able to see comments from lemmy.world users. But I would be able to see comments from beehaw.org users and they would see comments from my instance.

undefined> A is either federated with B or it isn’t, there is no “A is federated with B but B is not federated with A”

Maybe I used the word “federated” wrong here. I thought it meant “being linked to another instance”. To give an example of what I meant: the instance “lemmy.world” is linked to the instance “beehaw.org” while the instance “lemmy.world” is blocked on “beehaw.org”.

I’m new to this. I have one question. Imagine the following setup:

• Instance A federates with instances B and C
• Instance B only federates with instance C
• Instance C federates with instance A and B

Following scenario:

• Someone on instance B posts something and writes a comment to the post
• I’m on instance A and I comment on his comment
• Now someone from instance C comments on my comment

What does a person from instance B see now? I assume he won’t see my comment as instance B defederated instance A. But he should see the comment from the instance C guy. But how can he see the reply when the original comment is not visible?
