The Greeks were also famous for making multiple, multiple handwritten copies of any literature they encountered

You kinda had to then, since archival paper wasn't invented and papyrus doesn't normally last very long.

Checking in! Thanks for your work, this seems to be about the most stable instance across the whole of Lemmy.

I like the idea of the Scaled view; some of those smaller communities don't ever show up unless I view by New.

I only know because you just told me. What's a bonzi anyway?

That's my plan when Win10 gets too old. I've run Linux before (although not as my daily driver) so the only thing worrying me is choosing which distro...

I've been using AI summarisation for things like this so I don't need to read and I can satisfy my curiosity (normally what film they're talking about). Normally it's not worth the effort but it's quicker than reading the article myself.

Six days later and there's ~~44~~ 75 on the first page (top 20 Active), so I guess OP was correct about human nature.

This took longer than just adding them up, but that's not the point:

Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Downvote"] span.ms-2'))
    .reduce((acc, e) => acc + parseInt(e.innerText, 10) || 0, 0)

I wish this was unbelievable. When/where was this? I'm guessing the US and hopefully a long time ago.

Poor Jamaica, they must be gutted.

(Although apparently Czechia has the highest %age of enjoyers in Europe.)

You may as well slow down, that stash isn't gonna last forever.

What's the show? I think it's after my time and/or it didn't make it to my country.

I think some really general-purpose communities like films or books are good to be one per large instance, as they'll be busy enough to have plenty of content without them getting so big you have that Reddit thing where it feels pointless trying to contribute unless you're early.

Smaller, more niche communities definitely are harmed by being spread out as they get too quiet to survive.
