But even if I'm on my instance, lemme.ee, and LW is down, I'm not going to see anything from that instance. Which is where the most activity is. So I might see the same link for an article locally, with two comments, and no interaction from the instance with 300 comments.
I mean, eventually other instances will grow, but then they will face the same problems as Lemmy.world.
I was homeless in SF and Marin County a while back in the early eighties. Spent many years in southern California. Now 20 years in Georgia. That was a lot of back story to say I was expecting crazy and annoying homeless people and feces everywhere when I went back on vacation three years ago. I couldn't find anything like that, to the point we took a few walks specifically to search it out.
Gasp! I'm not sure you can say that around these parts. Personally I always hated Twitter. I was on there during the Arab spring, and I'm pretty quickly just stopped logging in.
I'm a home roaster but it's been about a year since I've roasted any.
It's not really just about reading, it's the engagement. I can read something from a couple of hours ago, comment now, and then somebody might read it in a couple of hours. And then comment back. But then I'm barely interested in the conversation because I've moved on.
But I'm just nitpicking. I know it's going to balance out. Or it won't and we'll move on to something else that does LOL. Or I can always spend more time outside. Gasp.
