Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

How dare you!
That explains why I had no idea what this post was referring to. Apparently that community is already blocked.

on the one hand, it's annoying having so many photos of somebody's cat(s) flooding your feed
On the other, after months of election dread and with at least four more years of misery for everyone who isn't rich lying ahead of us -- sure, bring on the cat photos. Good palate cleanser.
Prefer the pic of my brothers kitten then other post about Trump.
Is it like a coordinated effort to drown out politics, whats the angle here?
After the US election, it's needed anyways. We could probably all use a short break from politics
I unfollowed every meme community because it was wall to wall whingeing about Trump.
It's about time someone changed the subject.

I don't think it was coordinated.
It feels like someone shared a photo, others felt inspired to share, and it snowballed since then

I'll take it. Cute cats are very cute. I've been missing my daily dose since the API debacle.
I don't know, but if that's the case, I'm fine with it.
I'd have to read the 500th depressing story about trump, whom I can't do anything about.....
......or I can see a cute kitty.
BRING FORTH THE KITTYS INTO THE FEED PLEASE!!!!

Come check it out, or add to the cat photo avalanche
I was holding off, but fine. It's your fault I'm contributing!

I swear I've only seen meta posts talking about all the cats. I haven't seen a single non-meta cat post.
Update (2024-11-23T01:52Z): It turns out that, to see the cats, one must sort by "Hot" [1]. I was sorting by "All" + "Active", but, to see the cats, I must sort "All" + "Hot".

[...] Active prioritizes many comments iirc, but on most of these posts I see few if any comments. Using Hot though, they can dominate a feed due to being highly upvoted.
You might have federation issues (or blocked the right/wrong people/communities/instances).
There are loads of cats....
Perhaps SJW is having federation issues. Anything related to personal blocks would be extremely unlikely, in my case.
The only cats I gave seen so far in my feed are maybe 3 from [email protected].
Update (2024-11-23T00:44Z): It appears that SJW is fine. See my comment here for more details.
You, like every other non-Lemmy.World instance right now, seem to be having massive federation issues, since if you view the community at the source there are a flood of cat pics, which SJW seems to know nothing about.
ShitJustWorks is probably the issue, I don't see it either
Edit: no idea what replies mean I still hardly understand this platform lol

cat JUMPSCARE
That's not a jumpscare... this is a jumpscare!
This sounds made up but I swear to god as I started reading your comment and saw his face the radio station in the waiting room started playing that same song. I’m convinced you summoned rick astley
Let the cats flow
Not a cat person but I want more void pics!!!
The best Lemmy has ever been. The Internet exists for two reasons: Cat picd/videos snd porn. And we got the porn covered too.
The biggest scandal on Lemmy.
Absolutely love it!
