while I don’t know the answer to the question, I am very certain that

or would whole fediverse crash

is not it; if that could make the whole fediverse crash, someone could do it maliciously. At most it will cause problems delivering your messages or delivering messages to you.

yeah, I saw your instance only after posting the above comment :D

Still, some other people reading this thread might not know this; I think the way you guys are doing it is a good way to get your articles more widely spread, I think it would be good if other media organizations did the same.

Media organizations typically don’t want to post (only) to discussion groups, they want to provide a way to follow them as organizations.

That being said, @heiseonline@social.heise.de does sometimes mention threadiverse communities in its posts so they appear in those communities.

probably not, maybe you could ask a former sysadmin of lemm.ee whether they have a copy of the database and can extract this data for you, but if that doesn’t work, they’re probably gone

For a link, you’ll see it after posting if it appears in the list of places the link has been crossposted to, at which point you can delete it.

An image, that is more technically challenging because it requires detecting whether two images are the same, which is not as trivial as it sounds. But for images, I think reposts are no big deal anyway, many people will not have seen it the first time.

I think it is asking about the rules of a specific subreddit, which seems like an oddly specific question which people here are unlikely to be able to help with.

Gender dysphoria is a real medical condition which I don’t think there’s an equivalent for many other things.

I would say it is, but needlessly complex.

You’re looking for this I think: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retention_election

in 2025? Vaccines have been available for how many years now? Why does anyone even think about COVID vaccines anymore in this year? We would have figured out any adverse effects by now if there were any.

USB C … C … sea … you might be onto something there 😂

Both human and dog feces have significant variation in how they smell, so this question is somewhat meaningless. Dogs are carnivores, so if you ate meat, your feces is probably going to smell more like dog feces than if you ate only plant-based food.

I don’t see a lot of the things you’re trying to avoid on my instance. But I almost always browse “subscribed” and mostly have no idea what’s going on in communities I’m not subscribed to.

Federation means that when anything happens on one instance (post, comment, whatever), that instance will also inform other instances of this. Which other instances? The ones that have at least one user who has indicated they are interested in that kind of activity (on Lemmy mostly: by subscribing to the community).

So already now you can see eg my instance’s copy of a lemm.ee community at https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee and this will not disappear just because lemm.ee goes down. It’s stored in my instance’s database. But it will no longer be possible to post or comment there because that will no longer federate to other instances.

It’s not guaranteed that all of lemm.ee will be accessible elsewhere. Some communities might not have (always had) subscribers from other instances, which would mean no other database has stored those parts.

I’m currently unable to find a minimum age requirement on my instance, so she could try that. I’ve never given this topic much thought because Lemmy didn’t exist when I was a minor…

Help with what? The US is part of NATO so if it is attacked militarily, all other NATO countries are obliged to help against such an invasion.

I have several family members who either don’t drive at all or have previously taken several-year-long breaks from driving.

I was significantly older than you are now when I learned to drive at all, I no longer own a car and haven’t driven in approximately 9 months.

If you are in a life situation where you do not need to drive, then it is completely your own decision and you shouldn’t listen to anyone else trying to convince you one way or the other. Most drivers overestimate their abilities; if you yourself feel driving isn’t for you, then it’s better for everyone involved (including others on the road) that you don’t drive. But you still have a long life ahead of you and it’s completely possible you’ll become more confident when some more years have passed.

They can, it is just that if they do that, the PRC will sever diplomatic relations with such a country. Why that is so, you would have to ask them… neither of the Koreas has such a policy.

The situations are also not exactly the same: out of these, all are members of the United Nations except the Republic of China.

The problem with the question is that somewhat inherently, “full desktop OSes and programs” are designed to run on screens so large they don’t fit in your pocket. So you kinda have to decide what you actually want.

Look up the PinePhone or Librem 5.

and anything where you’re being given instructions where you’re supposed to copy what the person in the video is doing, video works very well for that too

Agreed on this. We don’t know you (OP) well enough to answer this. For me it would be clear because I find law interesting (it isn’t what I studied but I considered it for a long time) but medicine completely uninteresting; if everyone were like me we would have no doctors, so it’s a good thing that’s not the case.
