There’s also this:
https://frontpage.fyi/

Not sure which of the two has been around longer, but looks like frontpage is also pretty slow going.

I believe they’re backseat moderating given my replies to a couple other posts here recently, where I reminded people of Rule 4, where we encourage people to provide some context, opinion, or adjustment of title to encourage discussion.

See:

4. Link posts should include some context/opinion in the body text when the title is unaltered, or be titled to encourage discussion.

The aim of this rule is not to be told how to think or what opinion one should have, but exactly what it says: encourage discussion. Article/document links without any context or indication of why OP’s sharing it don’t really do that. It’s similar to someone randomly handing out flyers or pamphlets somewhere.

In any event both of you are violating rule 2, and this makes OP’s second time this week doing this, so I’ll be handling this accordingly.

Would you add some body text, context/opinion/summary, in accordance with rule 4?

Unfortunately this has Denuvo to restrict your use of your purchase. Was hoping after their first title getting criticized for this they may have changed course on that, but appears not.

Would recommend waiting till that’s removed, maybe in a GOG release.

Would you add some context/opinion to the body text to bring this in line with rule 4, to better invite discussion?

Your ignorance means it was shiny and new to you, and that’s okay!

More like reply to posts without regard for its host community. In other words, context collapse where the community is the main context.

The future of the web may be relearning the browser (and other tools)

The tricky part is, the group-supporting fediverse software and the microblogging software need to improve how they interact for this to be as good as it could be.

Right now Mastodon barely supports group users/actors/accounts, however they’re called, translating stuff from Lemmy’s format in a rather clunky way. Meanwhile Lemmy also has to roughly translate Mastodon’s format to its own, working pretty well all things considering, but leaving clear artifacts (subject line/first line repeating, community mention remaining shown, etc.).

Unfortunately so far as I can tell there doesn’t appear to be one that meets your criteria.

One of the few I found with recent posts is itself narrowed down to digital accessibility:

[email protected]

The only other I found is on an instance (Beehaw) that doesn’t connect to Lemmy World, so our posts wouldn’t be visible to them.

A part of the problem is that there are multiple similar general topic instances/sites to choose from. If there were more dissimilar, specific topic instances/sites it might help reduce the choice paralysis a little.

It might even better help highlight the perks of federation, as it would be easier to be like, “See, even though you’re on cuteanimals.posts, you can still check out and comment on stuff besides cute animals if you want.”

Reddit Discussion Policy
For expressing frustration at the amount of Reddit discussion on Lemmy, I recommend [email protected], [email protected], or the like.

For discussions concerning Reddit, there are a few different communities you might look to such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and probably others I’m unaware of. The flipside of these suggestions is that these are also the communities those uninterested in the topic may block if they wish to minimize the amount of such discussions they’re seeing in their feed.

Constructive threads concerning the transfer of information or app development from Reddit to Lemmy here remain okay, but threads simply complaining will be locked and redirected to the aforementioned venting communities to vent in, or Reddit ones to block to hopefully help curate their feeds.

Thanks for your understanding, and feel free to message me if you need any help in navigating to those communities.

You may find more discussion over in [email protected], for what it’s worth.

And correct me if i am wrong, but banning a user just stops them from posting, but i thought it did not delete their post history without additional mod action - which i cant see in the modlog

There’s an option when banning a user to also remove their content, albeit unless it’s an admin action I don’t think it would affect their whole post history beyond the specific community.

I’m kind of getting the sense as I look into this that it may be related to how Voyager is rendering the thread, as I’m not able to observe what’s being described from the web interface. That’s another catch in all this, the other apps and interfaces have their own quirks in how they handle rendering things, which itself is typically related to how they work off the base software (Lemmy in this case).

Edit: why am i forced to upload a photo for a new post?

Which way are you posting? Mobile/web interface? Shouldn’t need to add an image to post…

That aside, regarding your main question:

I think it’s very confusing when a single post appears with different comments on different instances, and have no idea how this works.

A basic reason for the difference in which comments are appearing across different instances/sites is because of delays in networking (federation) between the sites due to a variety of reasons. One of the common ones with the fediverse tends to be the software itself, and sometimes differences in versions’ federation handling. In this case it’s probably because Lemmy World is still running an older version of Lemmy with clunkier federation at Lemmy World’s scale, which causes delays in activities on there updating elsewhere (particularly those hosted in Australia).

Edit:
See also Kichae’s comment for a more detailed explanation, covers how things operate under more ideal conditions.

Patch notes

Highly abbreviated summary:
New story mission chain.
Further additions to biome assets, new star system type with different styles of terrain generation.
Many QOL updates.

It’s nice and sort of funny to see that they’ve restored water to some planets’ moons. Wild to think it’s been maybe around 8(?!) years since that was abruptly removed. Always get some mixed vibes from No Man’s Sky updates due to this awkward back and forth between removing and restoring parts.

Sort of, it’s because a lot of microblogging software doesn’t have the same post format with title/post body. The current workaround for microblog to Lemmy and similar is to format it like this:

first line title

second or more lines post body

@[email protected]

#hashtags if desired

Hell yeah, thanks for sharing more sources!

Good call! I don’t do much with Patreon so it hadn’t come to mind.

Yup. From what I’ve read of Musk’s core family (himself & parents & now grandfather), it seems like they’re all uniquely awful people.
