How are comments handled? Are they combined as well, or are they still fractured?

The booster is ~70 meters tall or ~230 feet.

a man described in the medical literature who developed a growth the size of an orange. Yet because it grew very slowly, the man’s brain was able to adjust, shifting memories elsewhere, and his behavior and speech never seemed to change—even when the tumor was removed.

Wow, that's wild.

At first one half of my thumb was entirely numb, and over the course of well over a decade I'd get pins & needles as bunches of nerves would finish regrowing, except attached to random channels in the nerve bundle, so my brain had to completely remap all those signals to what they actually meant.

It felt super weird because hot, cold, pain & touch were all mixed up, but eventually my brain sorted them out.

Wow, that's fascinating. Thanks for sharing your story.

Can you even tell which of my comments came from Lemmy.World, and which comments didn't?

Yes. Yes we can.

I used dimensionality reduction to make it 2D

Huh, interesting. So is the idea to spread the data out as much an possible, while keeping "similar" communities near each other? What was the dimensionality of the original set?

Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

it probably brings you to an instance that isn't yours so you have to figure out a way to open the link from your own instance

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher

This is a pretty much a solved problem, the solution just needs to be promoted more, perhaps even on the join-lemmy page.

I sometimes wish voting (or downvoting) could be limited to subscribers the subscribers of a community. Do you think this could help reduce cases like this?

Lemmy instances die twice (sh.itjust.works)
 

"They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time."

I just realized that Lemmy instances are similar. For example, feddit.ch shut down last month, but some posts live on as they were federated with other instances. The original instance won't be entirely gone until (unless?) every instance that it was ever federated with is also gone.

Is Lemmy growing or shrinking? (sh.itjust.works)
 

How is the size of Lemmy's userbase changing? Is it growing or shrinking? How diverse is it? What do the current trendlines look like as we approach a year since Rexxit?

I feel like I used to see graphs on this sub fairly regularly, but haven't seen one recently. There was also some ambiguity in the numbers as commenting and voting were added to the active user totals. Now that most (all?) instances have switched to 0.19, do we have a better idea of where things stand?

Aside from sticking around and posting, commenting, and voting, is there anything users should be doing to help grow the platform? (!lemmygrow would be a good name for a sublemmy, if anyone wanted to organize something)

In any case, thanks to everyone who has helped grow Lemmy to its current size!

Get URLs for all tweets within date range? (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/14280067

What is the best tool to get URLs for all tweets within a given date range?

The ideal behaviour I'm looking for would be something like this:

Input: https://twitter.com/SpaceX 2023-09-01 2024-02-08

Output:

  • https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1755763378449183003#m
  • https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1755759459765567825#m
  • https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1755752291578302545#m
  • ...

What would be the best tool to achieve this? Thanks in advance!
