No. I do remember some usernames if they frequently take stances but will never judge them for a single comment. The userbase is small enough to know nearly everyone.

But people cannot sign in to the account while awaiting activation. This is a turnoff because people will leave and not come back when their account is activated.

A better option would be letting them sign in but only giving them comment/posting rights when their application gets approved.

No there are activation periods as well. Mods have to approve your account. You can’t just jump in and get to know the place. There are so many different barriers to entry. And this is for people not even knowing whether Lemmy is a good place to go.

Maybe a LemmyAnon “tutorial” instance to dump all the users with no verification and let them get to know Lemmy before choosing an instance?

How is a person supposed to know which instance to choose before knowing what each instance is even about? Or what an instance even is. The barrier to creating an account is too high.

If there was an account migration option it would be possible to throw users into a random instance which federates with everyone and later let them migrate with their account age and post history.

Yes. Every person has to believe in it to accept the notion of good and evil.

These fictional relationship stories are getting out if hand. 23 years old with a house.

It’s very tiring having to start off every conversation by letting people know that I’m more intelligent than them, but it is necessary.

Ignore people who start screaming insults about instances which are not their own.

They will never get past the join lemmy page when it starts talking about federation. So there is no point asking that here.

If you can open the installer I think it’s not an ISO problem but a problem with the file written on the DVD. Maybe it got corrupted?

Cool

OnlyOffice desktop version. It is a tad confusing that they put the self hosted server on their front page.

Good catch. It sure appears so. Did their domain registration expire?

The majority of Mozilla’s money actually does not go towards Firefox. They have a crazy amount of side projects.
