The concept Proto Z with the Ikazuchi Yellow and black grills is just chef's kiss. Thank God the production model looks the same as the Proto concept.

did it feel like the car's sliding when braking? and since the rears didn't work the fronts were probably working way harder?

Dude, is this the same issue you talked about months ago? Glad that you had it fixed!

(quite interesting, even though you @ me, i didn't get notif also)

re: akkoma - ya it's a pleroma fork actually. can't quite remember if there was any technical reason for it, it was mostly because the pleroma dev+main instances was infested by nazis and rightwingers and lolis. iirc when i joined in nov 22, that was the "lore" that i picked up.

of the *keys, misskey is the original flavour but the japanese founder dev is apparently a bit of a lone wolf and so the dev for that became quite slow. And I think there was fallout when he, in running the japanese instance for it, wouldn't commit to moderating against homophobic speech or protecting explicit support of lgbtqia. So there was a big break from then on from there. The rest are forks of misskey, but you've pretty much named the major players:

• foundkey is a fork by this swiss guy. Apparently decent but is by this one guy, so that could be an issue.
• calckey is by this german guy I think. This one is going to go on relaunch on the 19th with new name etc. Supposedly it's because the fork has branched out enough it's its own thing, but idk. Sounds cool though, another german dude to go toe up against Eugen's Mastodon. I've noticed a lot more on the Black Americans side are beginning to rec Calckey because of all the functionalities you've also noticed (I'm on a walled-up instance for BIPOCs for example, that runs on it). Just because of what I perceive to be real good prospects in terms of userbase and with it development and funding support, I recommend Calckey, and--
• hajkey (it's swedish for shark, so "hai-ki") - this one also another difference in ideology. The people behind blahaj.zone have been key contributers to the Calckey code repo but they fell out over the growth mindset with the soon-to-be-renamed Calckey so this is a soft fork. So they'll stay within the calckey development cycle. (but who knows how soft it would be; one issue i'm sort of understanding is how resource intensive it can be as an instance grows, especially on the antenna function - btw, my favourite fedi function when it comes to scouting posts from other people.) My kitajagakita alt is one awkward.company, that one runs on this software.

re: federation - the problem is normative centralization - mastodon is the main dog especially in the western and western-facing userbase, so lemmy and *keys and *oma devs do try to make sure the federation works well there. But Lemmy is already a little janky, and maybe that's why it doesn't really play well with the foundkey yet (esp if the fk dev has enough on his plate). try setting up on an instance on calckey (not the main one, they're having continual performance issues) or hajkey and see if there's any improvement from last month (even kbin wasn't federating well with calckey).

LONG POST IS LONG

not so long ago, maybe 6-7 years ago, just before GE, the daily thread used to be very deserted lol, double digit almost every single day. This chat thread does remind me of the calmness the old DT provided me, and hopefully many other people.

if you go even further back maybe 7-8 years ago, the entire sub was a desert, you could post very strange questions like What does everyone do for a living, What is everyone's favourite food etc... HAHHA

Do you get the relogin when opening the site? Or does it ask you to do it every refresh?

Hmm? Would you care to elaborate a bit?

Or maybe you haven't sign in yet? This version of Lemmy UI have a problem of npt signing in when you first open the browser, refreshing will fix it.

wow they made R2D2 into mango. hebatnye...

Usually i always buy susu one, not sure about the other.
