There are so many examples in this thread alone as to why this rule doesn’t work.
SCUBA: the U is for “underwater” and the A is for “apparatus”. We don’t pronounce it “SC-uh-B-ahhh”.
JPEG: The P is for “photographic”. We don’t pronounce it “JayFeg”.
LASER: The E is for “emission”. We don’t pronounce it “Lay-See-R”.
RADAR: The second A is for “And” (lol). We don’t pronounce it “Ray-Day-R”.
The easiest “rule” is just the guy who made it up can dictate how they want it spelled and to pronounce. The word is made up anyway, and isn’t subject to rules that actual English words have been subjected to for however long the language evolved.
Say the word “though” in your head. Then add a “t” to it. Would you really argue that “though” and “thought” are pronounced the same simply because they’re the same spelling save for a final “t”?
The easiest “rule” is that the creator can decide how to pronounce and spell it lol. Taking English rules that don’t even apply 100% of the time to its own words and trying to hold made-up words to the same standards just sounds silly to me haha
Taco Bell and Pizza Hut are already owned by the same company, so maybe the wars have already begun
Lost comments like theirs will never not be funny lol
My favorite reddit app. You will be missed.

He explained it already. It looks for a ratio of number of users to posts. If your “small” instance has 5000 users and 2 posts, it would probably assume a lot of those users would be spam bots. If your instance has 2 users and 3 posts, it would assume your users are real. There’s a ratio, and the admin of each server that utilizes it can control the level at which it assumes a server is overrun by spam accounts.
It is Ramen Nagi! They specialize in a fish broth ramen and it’s pretty good!
I’ve been to that ramen place! Wayne Gretzky’s signature is on one of the walls in that place. The ramen is great too
programming.dev is a great instance for you then!
Glad you figured it out!! Update your OP so that people who also have the same confusion can see the answer more easily. All of us reddit refugees need all the help we can get haha
You never know!
Seconded. Jerboa has been great! A couple minor issues but it’s coming along nicely
This is exactly what I’ve been doing lol. Once I switched to “all”, it’s been slowly making more sense.
It definitely can flourish here given the right circumstances. I haven’t pirated anything in a long while, but I love seeing the community doing it’s thing. I’ll definitely be following along
rif and Relay were the two I used depending on how I was feeling that day. Excellent apps. Paid for both and I’ll be sad to see them go.
We should start it up! CFB should have a presence here
There was a guy that created a wrapper to allow Reddit clients to support viewing Lemmy content. Would love to see these developers have their apps continue to have life with what seems like a small change
Here is a link to the reddit post. Tried to go to the Lemmy link but Jerboa wouldn’t load it.
Me too. It feels like early reddit stages trying to figure out what subreddits and whatnot are as a newcomer. I’m slowly getting the hang of it. The jerboa app has been cool too!
Love the Blackwatch kilt
