I wonder if one day Lemmy supports migration of communities whether this would become a problem. Do the mod own the subscriber list and can move it from one server to another without subscriber consent? Assuming the community on the original server will be deleted after migration, perhaps the migration process can include each subscriber given a (one-click) choice to move or unsubscribe. In addition there is the question whether mods are free to hand over a community to new mods if they want to.

I can find kbin.social in https://lemdro.id/instances . Unfortunately I do not know where you can find this information on kbin.social.
I also tried to search for "@[email protected]" on https://kbin.social/search and it generated some results the first time (just thread contents and not the magazine) but now it comes up totally empty (not even a "not found" message) which seems to indicate there is a problem.
EDIT: opened an issue on codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/637
Currently there are (is?) content-only servers like https://lemmit.online/ .
I have been thinking perhaps the idea can be carried further and we can separate the user-facing front end and the back end.
Imagine having multiple front end servers (e.g. fe1.site, fe2.site, ... fe5.site) all connecting to the same user database and the same back end server which serves the communities and contents etc (call it be.site for example). A user signs up once and can login to any front end server with the same account, create a community /c/whatever on e.g. fe3 and it will be accessible automatically on fe1-fe5.
This is in addition to the back end federating with outside servers. Outside sees the community as be.site/c/whatever and users there as be.site/u/whoever. (or maybe make an alias like www.site/c/whatever www.site/u/whoever).
Additional front end servers can be added to spread the load if there are many users. If done right the users shouldn't even need to choose (or be aware of) which front end server they log on to, it can be automatically load-balanced. Another idea would be that special front end servers can be created to only serve API calls for apps.
I'm not sure if this will have bottleneck somewhere else, but I think this is an interesting idea to explore.
Elon's trying to show people how smart he is by running this one by himself. And he is succeeding — people are now realizing how smart he is.
Would there be any benefit to lemmy.world admins running a lemmy2.world and redirecting new users to sign up there? It would spread the load and federation between the two should be easier due to proximity and having the same admins.
I agree. IMO a mascot is something you can make a plush toy out of.
It does not make sense to me why the API charge have to be calculated by total traffic of all users of an app either. I've decided to think it is just an excuse to get rid of third party apps until convinced otherwise.
So you are force to cancel the subscription before the renewal time and hope you don’t forget to cancel it.
I think the author actually means "force to cancel right before the renewal time (e.g. during the 12th month of a 2 year subscription)" because cancelling earlier means losing the rest of the subscription (according to the author). And if you forget to cancel during that short window you'll be charged more money when it auto renews.
For videos I try to turn subtitles off if possible, I find that they do distract me from watching other details on screen. However a lot of times I find myself switching subtitles back on because the dialogue is hard to make out over the background sounds and effects.
Sometimes after watching, say, a TV episode of some show I go online and check the discussion, when I would come across a question somebody asked and I would wonder "Why would they ask that? It was so clearly stated in the show" and then I realized I had subtitles on and was able to read it clearly, whereas another watcher could have missed / misheard those dialogue if he/she didn't turn on subtitles.
Was lab1 destroyed by a zombie outbreak?
Still somewhat annoyed that there is no seat belt on the shuttle, even if it is to maintain continuity with TOS. M'Benga looked like he was going to bang his head and get a concussion when they were landing.
La'an: They won't see us coming.
Zac: We totally saw you from the other side of the planet a hemisphere away.
What was Zac trying to accomplish? He lured them there with the Starfleet Delta, but he was not going to hitch a ride home. He expected whatever ship that comes to inspect to... forget and go away, or suffer some disastrous result when the crew become unable to function? Why not just stay low and be king if he wasn't planning to leave?
