I would agree from an outdoors perspective but there’s no part of those states that really fit “blueish”. I keep hoping as a neighborhood state, but Wyoming continues to disappoint as does Montana.

Nice! Thanks for the info! I'll get something set up today to start contributing.

The irony is that Google is treated as an evil enterprise that only wants your data and yet we all willingly gave Reddit all our data and information while talking about how evil Google is.

I've gone looking for a few solutions to issues and the results were Reddit threads. Thanks for the cache trick, I'll keep that in mind to hopefully continue to avoid Reddit. Ideally we have a better solution in the future that does not result in all our data being held hostage.

I also found this GreaseMonkey script that simplifies the entire process by allowing you to redirect any community to your local instance: https://sh.itjust.works/post/70143

This really simplified my workstream for adding new communities. There is also a script to reformat the site to look more like old Reddit if you are really wanting to feel at home. Some great work being done in that community.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I found something similar after I had posted this message.

Definitely some learning to do as to how the federated system works with Lemmy.

I have also noticed that communities advertised in new communities don't also show up on other instances. This seems especially true of communities originating on lemmy.world (at least for me).

Cheers!

Your comment tweaks my interest as an outdoor person and an engineer. =)

I've seen this happening elsewhere. All growing pains.

That said, I am curious as to the thread you were responding. Sounds interesting. =)

He definitely didnt take all this information because he's a big history buff or a big reader. Those two are laughable traits, thus financially benefiting is the only aspect that fits.
