  • What do you like better here than on Reddit?

    The interfaces are better, and being able to integrate with mastodon is interesting.

    What do you miss from Reddit?

    The size of the communities, really. On Reddit, a lot of the subs have grown big enough that they can maintain themselves, whereas here, they’re pretty much dead without input. A few of the more interesting counterpart communities that I would frequent a tonne on Reddit are dead now, and if you’re just one user, it does feel like spam to try and contribute to it constantly.

    It’s really only a limit subset of communities that seem very active at all, and they are generally news or politics based.

    Do you feel the culture here is genuinely different, or does it eventually drift the same way?

    Bit of both. The culture in the larger communities would drift the way of Reddit just by volume, but the smaller ones are a bit more unique, and not always in a good way. Because Lemmy is a bit more tech-focused, I find a lot of the main medium-sized communities tend to have similar abrasiveness you see a bit in tech, though it can depend on both community and server.

    The supposed science behind homeopathy was already known, though. It was never a mystery.

    It basically worked around the pseudoscientific principle that water remembered what used to be in it, so if you diluted out water concentrated with the thing you had, it would somehow “remember” what was in it, and when taken, would draw it from the body through some principle of magnetism.

    It’s not like it magically somehow worked, and everyone was in amazement or anything quite like that. The only real reasons it did anything at all was that its contemporary treatments were things like bloodletting, which were worse for most things than not doing anything at all, or as a result of placebo.

    A lot of Bioluminiscence, but Infrared light as almost in any living be, which we can’t see without special devices.

    It’s different from the blackbody radiation that body heat produces.

    Structural weakness not only in the lower back, but also in the knees. The human being still has many reminists of an quadruped, as one of the younger species. He still has a way to be optimized as bipedo. Lower back and knees are still not optimized for this, apart of some other static and organic problems. We are still in phase beta.

    Evolution doesn’t follow the rules of intelligent design anyhow. If they did, we would all be crabs.
