I'm going with Oscar mostly because I'm constantly finding weed bits all over myself. I also really enjoy the idea of the "grouch" toking away in his little hideaway while everyone thinks he's angry.
Relevant Dave Chappelle-
Very interesting, thanks for sharing this with us!
Do you find that others notice it regularly in your daily life? I feel like I only notice other people's shoes/feet if they are wearing something flashy or if they make a lot of noise like flip flops.

Ayyyyy happy Lewis is back!
L.W admins are not profiting, they work for very little money, as i understand.
This is every instance admin though. They don't get a pass because they have a shitload of users. If anything the responsibility is even greater as one of the "flagship" instances. If they are unable to handle it then something needs to change.
They have troubles with the site and have been considering to drop it a few months ago.
I'm not really concerned with what the "official" excuses are as I find L.W staff to be untrustworthy. I haven't seen them talk about shutting L.W down but that sounds like a scare tactic to me. My personal opinion is that the fediverse doesn't need large instances in the first place though so I am obviously biased here.
My guess is that the protocol is heavy and since they have the largest instance there are bottlenecks.
Lemmy is a giant database that throws tantrums the more you add to it. As L.W is huge in terms of users and communities, I'm sure the demands on their hardware are very real. That doesn't change the fact that it isn't working correctly and sweeping genuine/good faith questions under the rug serves no purpose besides deception and ego protection.
Apologies if this isn't the place for it but I feel it's relevant to the OP-
I've been messing with WG off and on for months trying to sort out why it is that L.W won't stay synced to all of our communities simultaneously. Nothing we've tried has ever worked for very long.
If L.W picks up posts from WG like it's supposed to their comments/votes/etc don't show up to WG until a day later, sometimes longer. Some of our communities update over there nearly instantly, others take awhile or have to be manually pulled over. Given that they are using an older version of Lemmy and have features in place that don't match the rest of Lemmy it's hard to know where the problem really lies. There isn't much left to try on our end.
At this point there isn't much we can do besides continuing to tune the database settings until something sticks or holding out hope that everything magically works again when L.W finally updates to a newer Lemmy build.
If others are having trouble too that seems like even more reason to continue to spread out across the fediverse instead of concentrating on a few large instances. As I've said before I don't believe this is what the owners/admins/mods of L.W want. The longer time goes on the more it seems like they are actively working to hide their problems to keep a stranglehold on users.
Yeah that would do it lol. Thanks for that info.
Apologies OP, I don't keep up with who's blocking who on Lemmy.
It could be that LBZ hasn't discovered the community yet. If that's the case you may have to try a couple times before it actually populates. One of many federation quirks. Here are some other links to try.
I see some lentils in there!
