The two you linked are different communities, with different rules, different content and moderated by different people. They just happen to have the same name.
What federation lets you is view and interact with communities that are hosted on another instance, for example:
https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

If you dont like the rules or userbase of lemmy.ml, you can choose one of the many other instances, which are administrated by different people and have completely different rules. There are also some instances which have the slur filter disabled.

Lemmy maintainer here, its great that you are interested in our project. However it would be better if you linked to https://join-lemmy.org/ instead, which is the official project website and includes an extensive list of different Lemmy instances with distinct communities and rules. What you linked to is just one of these instances.
I will try to answer any questions you have.

I tried my phone, laptop and remote server and nothing worked. But I still thought it was a problem with the video until I read it on Mastodon.

You're probably thinking of DTube or some other project. I haven't seen a single video about cryptocurrencies on Peertube.

No news source is truly objective. Your best option is to read various news sources with different biases, and keeping in mind how they lean.

I studied Computer Science in Germany, and I didn't use a single book during my entire bachelor. The way it worked was professors always put the slides from their lectures online, so we could reference them as sources. Sometimes, additional references or texts were available online.
In addition to lectures, we had weekly classes where we applied the concepts from the lecture in practice. Exercises for these classes were also available online.
All of this material was free for students, and created by the professors and instructors specifically for the course.

I don't see how Berlin could be considered Cyberpunk at all. Sure there are some modern buildings, but most of it is at least 50 years old. And there's no real high-tech.

I'm personally using LinageOS together with microG and F-Droid. MicroG is necessary if you don't have Google apps installed, to get push notifications. Unfortunately, it is still rather complicated to install.

Google is really bad with this. This is especially annoying as an expat who doesn't speak the local language. I'm really glad I switched away from Google a long time ago (using startpage.com for search).

I think people just want to help others, and do something useful with their spare resources. I run a relay on a server on my home internet connection, so it doesn't cost me anything.
Re:Syncthing Usage Data
on Monday March 13, 2017 @12:32PM (#13859350)
You don't really need anything except a fast enough internet connection. The relay page [1] has some stats about that. And there are various configuration options, see the documentation [2].

Iirc there were some changes to usage reporting (additional data reported), so users were prompted to enable usage reporting again.
Re:Syncthing Usage Data
on Monday March 13, 2017 @11:37AM (#13858719)
The Android version targets Linux (due to some issues with Golang), which means it doesn't show up in the Android section. Actual usage reporting data for Android is ~2800 devices or ~11.7%.
Re:Syncthing Usage Data
on Monday March 13, 2017 @11:27AM (#13858599)
Syncthing is entirely made by volunteers, and so far no one has had the time or interest to work on an iOS app. If you (or someone else) wants to work on an iOS app, that would definitely appreciated.
Re:Syncthing Usage Data
on Monday March 13, 2017 @11:20AM (#13858510)
Note that usage reporting is disabled by default, and has to be enabled manually. The Android app alone has around 30.000 active installs according to Google Play statistics. Usage reporting only shows about 2.000 of those. Based on this data, I would estimate that there are between 100.000 and 300.000 active installations of Syncthing.

This can't really be solved by individual consumers. Instead, the government should introduce laws to ensure that drivers make at least minimum wage (after fuel, maintenance, taxes etc). If that is not enough, it might be necessary to raise the minimum wage.
