This is great for people looking now, but the info, the apks, and the knowledge to get there was less known or not very good a year or so ago.

Also, I'm personally a big fan of "thunder" for my phones lemmy apk. It's awesome.

I hung out on reddit long enough over the previous couple of years when people were up in arms to leave. It wasn't the lack of subs or community size that kept people away. It was simply that it was harder to figure out how to get up and going. You can't just go to lemmy.com, create a name and password, and start doing stuff. Further still is that now people want an apk for phone browsing and particularly when the masses wanted to leave reddit, there was also no "use this apk and its easy". Plus, creating an instance is much more work than creating a subreddit.

It was never about the size of the website already appearing to be in place. Lemmy just has a harder entry fee. It keeps lemmy at a lower user base in the same way every subscription service in existence knows it wants to make things super easy to sign up, but time intens8ve and difficult to cancel. Because it takes a bit of effort, lots of people don't get around to doing it.

Sort of, but it didn't really work. Reddit existed in 2005, but wasn't popular. It only became popular in 2010 after all of Digg went to it, because it was pretty much a Digg clone, but with owners who weren't Digg.

The difference was that Digg used to be the site. Then Digg ticked off all their users and 90% of them migrated to reddit, which was already available.

Reddit had its dumpster fire moment over the last couple years, but there was no available place for everyone to quickly migrate over to other than Lemmy, and it didn't really happen. Lemmy is a bit harder to get used to and figure out, so we missed out on a huge migration.

So its doubtful that lemmy will ever expand out like reddit did. Not for a long time, anyhow. It will be great if we make it to a couple million active users. At that point, I'd be totally content. Things get too sloppy once you go over 10 million users, it seems.

I was their in reddit beginning. There were no initial shenanigans. It was a good place and existed at just the right time, when people wanted to leave Digg because it was turning into a dumpster fire, similar to what reddit has done.

When reddit started turning to shit there just wasn't anything for the masses to migrate to that was available other than here. Problem is that here isn't as simple to get into. In lemmy, the learning curve is slightly higher than "bare minimum".

Taiwans rule. Foreign tsmc fabs have to be a gen behind. This would definitely change if China took over Taiwan, but who knows what China will do or allow at that point. They could shut the whole US fab down if they want. Even if they did try to re-tool the US fab (taiwan or china or tsmc) in a few years, it would cost billions and a lot of time to get it done.

It was ported to everything in the late 80s, nes included, so it wouldn't surprise me. 7 year old me totally sucked at the fighting.

I'd remember playing this on Nintendo when I was around 7 years old. My cool ass already knew how to play chess for a year or so, but I would absolutely bomb it during the fights.

I got my parents to pay for it for like a month or two. It was both sweet, and buggy. Way ahead of its time.
