Does anyone know what’s going on with Lemmy.ml?

Serious scaling problems with the database in Lemmy. The code was not really tested and tuned for the quantity of federation peers to replicate with, comments, votes, postings. A lot of big communities over there to replicate.

I'm seeing pending on all my remote Join to communities hosted there.

Like a glitch in The Matrix, they are likely installing some new code update because of the ongoing policy changes.

yes. In the sitewide-search in the upper right next to your profile name and notification icon. It doesn't seem to work on the community search..

I imagine major overhauls are going to happen in the next 10 days on things like this, I expect there will be a lot of confusion.

They made a mistake in the link, left off the /c/

It doesn't seem automatic in my testing, even some well established ones don't show up unless someone triggers activity.

https://lemmy.ml/c/englishlearning

I'm going to search for that in the search, that is supposed to be the way to trigger it.

EDIT: yes, after searching for that string (the full URL), it now works here locally. /c/englishlearning@lemmy.ml

That's probably a big part. Web browsers can do ad blocking. Within the official Reddit app that's way more difficult.

"new" reddit and a focus on showing images and video really changed the site. /r/All was often entirely posts with images/video and comments are often just reaction-comments. It really solidified the trend towards a "TLDR" site. I guess they figured their biggest competitor was 9gag or something.

I've seen many people comment and discuss that post-pandemic they miss wearing a mask in public. I know some people really hate wearing masks, but others felt it gave them more privacy and other benefits.

Musicians (and other "Joe Cool" characters) often like to wear their sungllsses indoors and at night

it's a matter of perspective. I think having some proper expectations exceed any damage done by spoilers.
