Yes, as long as the two instances in question are federating with one another, then posts and comments are all federated.

Lmao yep that's me. Couldn't be that I just feel weird about copying around threads where people share pictures of their buttholes, ask for help escaping from abusive partners, or seek support on embracing their genders and sexualities without the permission of the original author. Reddit is more than just memes, video game tips, in-depth analyses on a variety of questions by historians and scientists, and celebrities advertising their newest ventures under the guise of AMAs. And therefore commensurate thought should be put into it before saying "yes this is all my information to do whatever I want with."

On a separate note, I stopped using Twitter in 2018 partially because I was tired of every single conversation jumping right to "Russian bot" accusations. Didn't matter what your opinion was, if someone disagreed with it, you were a Russian bot sent to sew chaos and division. I've been happily on the fediverse since then and sincerely hope I'm not now in for a wave of seeing "are you employed by or otherwise affiliated with reddit or meta you have to answer or this is entrapment" bs.

Honestly it upsets me enough when I see people or bots mirroring new Reddit posts to fedi without the original author's permission. A full archive - whether in the form of a torrent or a fedi instance - also makes me feel icky.

I know it's not possible and it's entirely against reddit's interests, but I wish there were a way for subreddits or people or posts to be marked somehow as not for copying or use elsewhere.

It has always weirded me out when I found /r/relationships posts copy-pasted to like BuzzFeed knock-off sites. Then yesterday I saw and blocked a Lemmy bot mirroring like a dozen reddit subs (including gonewild) to its instance.

It may be fine, good, and useful to archive like how-to content or technical support questions and stuff like that as there is a clear utility there. But seeing the more personal stuff that people might not want to see copied around or searchable makes me feel bad.

Yes, yes I know it's the internet and these people should know better and if they really want to opt out they should submit a request to the wayback machine and set a robotstxt plus there's no way to stop it and we really really need all of this valuable information preserved for historical purposes and as we all know information wants to be free and you can't stop the signal. And all the myriad excuses that the less well behaved digital preservationists will lean on.

But at some point and in a lot of circumstances you're copying people's personal information and using it in ways they didn't intend on when they posted it. I don't know your personal opinion on the reports of reddit admins undeleting posts people have been deleting before they delete their accounts, but people who are upset about that should consider that "preserving" reddit data also takes away peoples' agency over their data and their right to be forgotten in much the same way.

Not to mention, even if these are somewhat legit studies and findings, is there also proof that "activating different parts of your brain" is a good thing or effective in dealing with panic attacks?

Here's part 1 of a 4 part podcast series about Wim Hof and the Wim Hof Method https://ohnopodcast.com/investigations/2020/7/19/ross-and-carrie-cool-off-with-wim-hof-part-1-iceman-edition

Don't overthink it. Regional Phenomena is a long quest and each investigation is a quest (at least) in itself.

As you make your way to different destinations as part of the quest, you will naturally come across shrines, caves, side quests, and enemy encounters such that you will constantly be getting rewards and upgrading things.

You should have received two quests at Lookout Landing (which I'm assuming you've been to and that is the one tower you've unlocked so far - of not, go to Lookout Landing).

One is granted by Purah and notes 4 Regional Phenomena for you to go investigate. Talking to other folks around Lookout Landing will gently nudge you toward one of the specific phenomena.

The other is granted, if I remember correctly, by Josha and involves investigating a nearby chasm to get a picture of a statue. This quest is classified as a side adventure and not a main quest, but you'll still want to do it sooner or later.

As Tolookah says, always look for a Hudson Construction Co representative at or near the tower. Often they'll have a small request for you to help the finish the tower and grant you access.

The story quests should be pointing you in a couple of different directions by now. You should be equipped enough to follow either of those at this point.

The overland route specifically will net you plenty of shrines along the way to continue pumping up your hearts - there are a few caves too and those are always full of surprises.

Just be smart about what fights you take on along the way. Two things about fights in this game:

1. It's okay to run. If you encounter anything you aren't prepared to fight, just run. Typically you can get away on foot (or horse if you have one). If it comes down to it, warping away is also fine.
2. Especially in the early game, fights are trial and error. And you aren't going to find the loot you're looking for without taking on fights. You're probably going to die a few times, and that's okay.

The game doesn't punish you for dying, unless you're overly sensitive to loading screens. Try different strategies, get a feel for the advanced combat mechanics. You'll probably end up at a few different combat training shrines if you're following the early game quests and that'll help you out if you're unfamiliar with some of the more advanced techniques.

A 45 minute "round table" with multiple rando masto instance admins? That doesn't sound like enough time for the table to get very round.

It sounds more like 5 minutes introduction, 30 minute presentation by Meta, 10 minutes Q&A. But oops our presentation ran just a bit long, and I really do have a hard stop at noon so we really only have about 5 minutes for questions thanks for all of the valuable feedback we'll be sure to circle back offline.

I'd recommend you play some games before you dive into designing. That way you can get a feel for themes and mechanics and what works and what you like.

The good news is that you don't need anyone to play with. There are plenty of TTRPG systems designed for solo, or you can always play more traditional systems solo using a GM emulator or similar.

Solo TTRPGs tend to come in a couple of general flavors - journaling games, and more "traditional" RPGs. And each of those come in various complexity levels.

Here are a few of various flavors that can help get you started. Check em out to get a feel for what's out there, what other folks are doing, and what works for you. Lots of folks with start with tweaks, extensions, or hacks of existing games.

• Alone Among the Stars
• Ironsworn: Starforged
• One Page Solo Engine
• Thousand Year Old Vampire
• The Wretched
• Colostle

I've never run a Lemmy or kbin instance, but have run a mastodon instance and am familiar with distributed systems in general.

Probably both the source instance and the destination instance have a queue of federated messages to process and the message needs to be sent to the destination and processed into the destination database respectively before it'll show up on the destination of the worker threads get overwhelmed.

I'd imagine that recently with the influx of users, activity, and the size of the federation, a number of instances probably sometimes have some pretty deep queues to work through at times.

Ten hours isn't ideal and hopefully isn't common, but doesn't seem out of the question in the case of connectivity issues or spikes im activity.
