A game of millimeters. What a season opener.

The context I was trying to show that growing a community with continuous progress is different than taking a community that is shrinking, stopping the shrinking, and then causing positive growth.

I agree with this, but I think many subscribers are from accounts that are no longer active.

I appreciate all you admins here, I really do. Far more transparent than from Reddit and you do it all without making profit.

The pinned post to Lemmy World sounded like (to me) that you recognize a lot of people signed up, made communities, and then have abandoned Lemmy leaving a lot of ghost communities that you all want to clean up. Totally understandable, especially with all the legal considerations about leaving online spaces unmoderated.

It just got me thinking about how Lemmy has changed, and how I really want it to succeed. I can try and follow this suggestion, but I almost feel like for a lot of the more niche interests, Lemmy will sort of just be in a holding mode until Reddit inevitably fumbles the ball again leading to a new migration, this time with a more clear destination.

Yeah I figured go/baduk would be a hard community to start, which is one of the reasons I chose the Chiefs.

But this isn’t just the difficulty of growing a community from a small start, this is seeing a community grow then shrink. Going through many niche communities the post rate and comment rate seems down across the board, outside of the biggest communities on the site. Combatting a shrinking community seems even more difficult than growing from a small start.

An angle that sometimes isn’t brought up is the land space required by different types of power generation. Renewables actually take way more space, and therefore way more of the environment than nuclear. Renewables have their place, but I think nuclear will always be with us.

It’s a legitimate fantastic movie. Never understood the hate.

You can block communities and users but not filter posts based on words like Apollo did (yet hopefully)

Swipe from the edge of your screen. Starting in screen is the upvotes, a swipe that starts off screen takes you back.

It does? Like I can do that from this post to get back to my feed right now.

Unless you are in a dry climate. Our house is cooled almost entirely off of a swamp cooler (small window unit for the bedroom) and the humidity is never noticeably high.

Gotta live in a desert for that. If not yeah swamp coolers are very limited.

On point 4, the key part that you are missing is that evaporation /takes/ energy. The standard central air works closer to how you are thinking by the evaporator above your furnace taking heat to then be dumped out by the condenser outside. This is necessary because it is a closed system that must continually reuse the refrigerant.

Sweat, and the swamp cooler you have here, are not closed systems and therefore don’t have to “dump” heat. Energy was transferred to the water molecules to cause them to evaporate. As latent heat exists (Google this if you are still confused) the heat energy has been transferred to “evaporation” energy and so the heat can be reduced without breaking any thermal laws.

Basically the water on your skin or in the swamp cooler is like a wall that heat has to break down. The heat can do this, and does get through but has been reduced by the work and is therefore less strong (lower temperature.

There was no subtraction or addition to total energy when you look at the whole process. Heat energy was transferred to kinetic energy to cause the state change of the water.

Central AC has to dump heat to reuse the refrigerant. The swamp cooler doesn’t have to dump heat but needs to be refilled often as the evaporation of water takes matter away from the system.

In case this shows up in anyone’s search,

It persisted for hours but a few hours and about five times reinstalling the app it started working again.

And with Voyager it was just added.

This is amazingly fast!

Y’all are amazing!! Thank you so much!

Yup! Don’t want to seem ungrateful! I love this app and how far it has progressed. Just sharing feedback of things that would make it even better.

Ok I changed my password after fears of a hack. I could get in once in like 5 attempts on the website but would randomly be kicked.

I made a backup account and added it as a mod in the one community I’m in just in case but it seems better now.

So changing the password may work. Or maybe the website was just being funny for a bit.

Edit: that seemed to fix the website but the app is still crazy buggy. It logs out when changing view to posts or basically any action like trying to comment.
