  • I mean, these communities do get created when someone feels like there’s a reason to. There’s just no council or whatever regulating when and where a community gets to be created, so any user on any instance can decide to open up and promote their community.

    And frankly, I have no idea what the precise effects are. When you subscribe to all of these, it won’t really be much different from just one big community in that sense. It may mean, though, that someone new accidentally joining only one of the communities will not be presented all the content they want, yeah.

    On the flip side, having it split is kind of cool, because you can decide to only subscribe to 2 out of 4 communities, if you only want half as much of this content in your feed. Or you can decide to subscribe to all of these, but not to the one on angry-instance.net, because you don’t like the tone of the discussions in that one.


  • Yeah, it’s federated, meaning you can subscribe to each of them and post to whichever one you fancy. If you want to post to multiple, it’s a good idea to use the cross-post feature.

    Having only one singular official community would be rather bad, as then the respective server owners and moderators would have central control like on Reddit.



  • Hmm, yeah, it is a bit surprising to me, too, especially for an audio issue, but it’s always possible that you had some weird configuration values in about:config for historic reasons and now some new code, that came in with a Firefox update, isn’t working with that configuration.

    Either way, it happens often enough that Mozilla has a troubleshooting routine for it, too, namely refreshing your profile.

    If I remember correctly, it places your old profile data into a folder in your Desktop folder. But you can also separately backup your profile by closing Firefox and then copying ~/.mozilla/firefox/ onto an external hard drive or such.

    Completely unrelated story: I bought a red cabbage last week and was so glad to have found a relatively small one in the shop.

    …I have been eating red cabbage for the past three days and still have enough left for another two days. Just why is it so damn compressed? I can cut off the tiniest slice from that cabbage and it still fills a whole plate.

    Das Gespräch war halt wie Schnackstunde im Altersheim. Einer, der irgendwie psychisch durch ist und ständig irgendwelche offensichtlichen Lügen erfindet, wie toll er sei. Und der andere, der dagegen hält, aber teilweise zu senil ist, um einen Satz zu vollenden.

    Dass die beiden sich als Präsident der USA bewerben, macht es dann so richtig surreal.
