The lack of down/up symmetry (at at 10:1 ratio, no less) is rather gobsmacking in 2025. Even here in SV, where internet service has historically lagged behind the rest of the world, I now have 5 gigabits of symmetric fiber service for a reasonable price.

Or Cabot Cove, which had them almost every week from 1984 to 1996.
Even The Atlantic is stooping to clickbait headlines these days. An unfortunate look for a publication with otherwise excellent journalism.
What type of error do you receive on mobile?
Oh, lovely. I had no idea this existed, but I'll try it out. Many thanks!
Thanks for fixing my Lemmy notation!
I am so tired of infantilizing headlines and the proverbial "YouTube thumbnail face".
It's hard to see what's going on here, but you might try using an irrigation tool called a riser or nipple extractor -- it's designed for removing broken plastic risers outdoors, but might work if you can insert it far enough (it's difficult to tell from your photo if the material in the center is a liquid or a solid).

A few ways I've found communities that interest me:
-
Community promotion communities such as https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo provide pointers to topics of interest.
-
A good Lemmy client goes a long way toward facilitating content discovery; I'm a Voyager user, and it supports sorting Home (subscribed) and All (unsubscribed) post feeds in various ways including New, Active, Scaled, Controversial, etc.
-
When I was new to Lemmy, I used Voyager's subreddit migration tool to match communities with my interests (see https://vger.app/settings/reddit-migrate ) -- I believe Artic and a number of other clients have similar functionality.
-
Just browsing the All feed has helped me find communities (and compile a list of things to block!)
I had one! Took it apart and couldn't put it back together. It was great fun whilst it lasted. I might still have the pieces somewhere.
In other words, offering tiers of service which are symmetric or close the gap? For what it's worth, I seem to be a poor technologist, since 5 gigabits/sec is vastly more than I need, but my ISP keeps encouraging me to upgrade to 7 gigabits. It's nice to know that I could run a skyscraper or a medium sized subdivision if I wanted to, however!
