I find Tildes is pretty good for this sort of thing, as long as you take the time to actually write something decent behind the post to show you are asking / debating in good faith and not just being an asshole.

From what he's said he's not abandoning it but I guess it won't advance much or as quickly... he's only just said so we don't really know if and how it'll impact things

Same here, currently using Avelon and pretty happy with it... Voyager dev recently announced he'll be working on it less going forward which may or may not be an issue 🤷🏻‍♂️

Both definitely feel like using "Apollo for Lemmy" though 👍

I still think a Usenet like service would be brilliant and it's a shame there isn't a Lemmy-like service that has that.

To clarify, what I mean is decentralised infrastructure (you go onto the news server you want) with shared content (ie the same was that every Usenet post ends up on every Usenet server, if that server carries that newsgroup) - it gives all the advantages of federalisation (don't like your server, just go to another, you lose little or nothing) without the disadvantages of unintuitive discovery and fragmentation.

There was some moderated groups, the group name usually ended in .moderated.

All it meant was somebody with the moderator role on that group had to approve every post... only thing I never understood is how one became a moderator on those groups 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's weird with Big Bang Theory, when it first started me and my friend circle loved it, thought it was brilliant but yes it did lose something after a few seasons.

But online everyone just seemed to hate it - could it be because we're British and it just landed better with us..?

Original Scrubs was one of the best shows ever made in my opinion - great cast and chemistry, genuinely funny whilst also bringing in the drama and tragedy of a hospital and it's patients, great writing, kept up momentum until the end (the original end not the crap that come after), great acting, one of the most faultless TV shows ever made.

I am, it's great, I don't know if it's intentional but it's giving me the Apollo vibes I miss from Reddit... I've left a couple of bits of feedback/feature requests on here, one of which you've said is planned anyway, from my perspective at least they would make it perfect for me 😊

Depends on the communities... quite often they consist of one or two users (or bits) reposting old or current Reddit posts.

And certainly for more niche topics the communities tend to be dead.

Quite often there is little commenting or conversation.

The communities with the most conversation seem to be about Lemmy and the Fediverse...

But yes there are a couple of decent communities in my Home feed, but the whole needs to grow to get it to a tipping point where it provides an active and diverse (in topics and conversation) community.

I'd like to know how that's even remotely compliant with the ECHR???

Sorry missed that, only just started using Avelon today
