  • The changes include clearer instructions for the assembly line, training improvements and more tools. The company says it has also ordered each station be completed before a plane moves on the assembly line and directed Spirit to not ship defective fuselages to Boeing’s Renton plant.

    Oh… for fucks sake. You can’t tell the people at the bottom to work better-er when they’ve been trying to work better-er for a decade and their efforts get shit on .

    Interview every team lead and department head that has ever raised a quality/safety/non-conformance. Then interview/audit every executive those issues were reported TO. And if they can’t provide a very very very good reason (i.e. not “$money$”) for why those issues weren’t actioned then they get fired. Every fucking one. Then promote a bunch of engineers.

    Boeing used to be a great company when the engineers ran it. Now its shit because the MBAs in expensive suits run it.








  • Unknown - Lemmy is a bit less “mature” than some of the other Fediverse platforms like Mastodon where you can at least export your data. All we have is “delete my account” for example.

    If the instance goes away, that’s a good question. Certainly federated instances stop receiving anything from it. Will instances that have users who have subscribed to its communities still see cached posts etc? Probably. Unless there’s a “Im going away, purge my stuff from you” msg in the AP that I dunno of (haven’t finished reading it), a subscribing instance might just think “well, its unavailable at the moment Ill try later.”


  • No actually its because msgs “boosted” by the community will only be sent to your inbox post-follow, if that makes sense. For the same reason when you search for and sub to a community on one Lemmy instance to a comm. on another, it only gets the last few posts; but your instance will get all the ones that come after.

    Essentially following a lemmy community is like a magazine subscription; you don’t get all the previous ones retroactively, but you get all the ones that come after you subscribe/follow.



  • You can “follow” communities on a Lemmy instance just like a regular user.

    Lets say we’re talking support@beehaw.org (and the federation isn’t bork).

    Search for @support@beehaw.org in Mastodon and (if the federation isn’t bork) it should find the community as a user and you can follow.

    Followed communities in Mastadon:

    • all posts and comments show in an amorphous stream as individual toots – depending on what interface you use it could be just random toots or they’re displayed threaded
    • they all show as boosts from the community “user”… which if you think about it, that’s all a community does - it reboots all posts and comments-on-posts to all subscribers of the community.









    • why can my instance sometimes not find a community that I know exists (if you look at its home instance)?
    • [federation] how can I follow a Lemmy community from <other fediverse platform> and what will that look like? can I respond from <other>, what does THAT look like on Lemmy and vice versa?
    • [federation] can I search/follow users/hashtags in other fediverse platforms on Lemmy?
