Yes, the fur looks like it would feel somewhat spikey rather than fluffy. I'm guessing it's a combination of the fur drying out in that pattern and the seal having fairly oily fur to help shed water.
Insanity. I’ve been around a few times when people were talking about migrating but this truly does seem like the most real possibility yet. And I welcome it with open arms.
What if they're doing this, letting us all get riled up, and then after the black out they go "ok ok, we get it. We'll reduce the cost down to insert still high but irritatingly doable number" and that was the plan all along. That they started outrageously high so they can land where they actually expected to be. A bunch of users go back grumbling but feeling like they still won, yet we got 4d cheesed.
I agree with the other posters that this is just internet nomenclature in general, but I have noticed that some people are referring to Lemmy “communities” as “sublemmies“. Fortunately, I don’t think the name “kbin” really lends well to such an analogue so we can just continue to call them “magazines”.
I agree with you, but I also feel Reddit-like names of subs can be essential for welcoming casual Reddit migrators. If they sense some kind of familiarity with Lemmy they’re more likely to stay
My thoughts exactly. If I'm a redditor trying to look into alternatives, it's much easier to replace foodporn with foodporn than that extra step of having to find out whatever the equivalent community is called.
Plus the people creating communities with identical naming conventions as reddit are likely doing it for the same reason - because they liked the community over there and they want to replicate it over here.
Welcome to the fediverse friend. Might take a week or two to figure out, and the bugs are still being sorted, but boy is it a nice change of scenery. And once the apps come it'll feel like home again.
