For me its

  • The Martian, and Artemis by Andy Weir
  • Termination Shock by Neil Stephenson
  • 2001, 2010, 2061, 3001 Odyssey series by Arthur C Clarke
  • lots of David Brin
  • lots of Greg Bear
  • One Second After (series) by William Forstchen
  • The Wool Omnibus (series) by Hugh Howey
  • Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey
  • After Sundown by Linda Howard
  • Solar Flare by Larry Burkett
  • etc

I really enjoy books with a solar flare componet due to my being a ham radio op. I also love apocolypse books of nearly any type. Just no zombies as they freak me out

Blocklist (lemmy.ca)
 

Is there a list of blocked instances somewhere? I was trying to interact with a thread from lemmygrad i found on lemmy.ml but could not get it to come up in search. This makes me assume its blocked

What tweaks have improved your Lemmy experience? in c/[email protected]

My biggest issue is i can sort post sort to new as default, but if i open a post comments are sorted as hot with no ability to change it in settings.

Working well so far. What caused the migration? Resource constraints? The DNS took a while but its all good now.

Hi, i am not canadian but chose here because i dont want to contribute to one server such as lemmy.ml getting to large. I have actually had this account for a while and am a frequent mastodon user but hadnt really kicked the tires much around here.

Lemmy seems somewhat centralizing (lemmy.ca)
 

Due to lemmys focus on communities instead of individuals it seems like some level of centralization is going to occur or already has. As an example [email protected] is going to be a way more active community than [email protected]. now if i run a terrible server called terribleserver.net and lemmy.ml bans it as they should then nobody on terribleserver.net will be able to interact with the largest communities such as !privacy, !technology, etc. Other servers may have their own versions of these but they will most likely be rarely used. Mind, i doubt lemmy.ml's mods would do this, but a rogue mod could really break things by just banning other instances for no reason. I have been on mastodon for years but am decently new to lemmy so if i am misunderstanding this please correct me
