Ahh, I think I got you. So, ideally, ‘followed’ content wouldn’t trigger recent activity within the ‘followers’ community? Is that the idea?

I think the biggest issue for me with your proposal is any time a single pancake post is made, four communities now show recent activity and are likely to all show on everyone’s main feed.

Mint shutdown?

I hope I don’t get flayed for saying this, but I actually had this problem on Windows once, and it turned out to be thermal throttling of the CPU. I was going from 4+ghz to around 200mhz and then it would shoot back to normal. Just needed a thorough cleaning of the fans and ducting.

Thought it was worth mentioning on the off chance it might help someone.

They are individual copies of the Lemmyverse that all sync content with each other. That’s the ‘federation’ part. Some of them are weird and scary places, friend.

I kinda disagree, /r/all was amazing way back before they started removedin with it. That was the best way to discover new communities once upon a time.

But I do admit the firehouse approach isn’t for those looking for a refreshing glass of water.
