      There’s definitely an LTT writer that’s active here.

      The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.

        It’s also missing IMO some mass to discuss more specific topics. For example, there’s enough people to discuss “anime” or “games”, but too few to discuss a specific anime series, or a specific game.

        That’ll get better in time too, I believe.

          Yeah, true. I still jump to Reddit to view tv show discussions, just won’t log in or comment anymore.

          Blocked all meme subs

          I guess that works I just never subscribed to them in the first place. Either way, I’m super happy to see more activity on the platform.

    You have done well, Lemmy. Keep going, and become greater than the corporate-overlord media.

        What is an si (I presume session id)?

        And where do look, if there is a standard for these thingies?

        I understand that these are query strings, but who decides which keys are there and what they mean? And if they depend completely on the server’s implementation, then how do you know what the “si” key means, except from experience?

        Thanks in advance.

          It’s an individual tracking code that tells Google who generated the youtube link you click on. That way, they can see who you’re talking with on other websites.

            I went, “Ooh! That’s some ingenuity! and <facepalm>, both at the same time.

            Wasting the ingenuity for this stuff.

      Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful

    You know how people will repost screenshots of tweets or whatever? The other day I saw a screenshot of a Mastodon post on Instagram.

    I’m worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.

      When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).

        That’s unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It’s all links and links to each other. Check out https://archive.is and https://archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something
