I was super interested up until the Discord link :(
The cool part is that the backend is open source, I'll be mirroring a few of my favourite subs on my local lemmy instance with this.

Thanks again for posting the link!

I've jumped completely over to lemmy and am mulling writing a bot to replicate external content to my instance (from e.g., unmigrated subreddits);

the UX is fantastic though, tons of original content with almost zero spam. scaling the network seems hard as every event is a POST request (lol) but the community will persevere and overcome this imo

This still needs a network effect to get started

I was happy with the old BigQuery UI and now they've finally moved it into the Cloud Console monstrosity :(
Re:A package for presenting person names on Wednesday December 09, 2020 @09:19AM (#25358694)
The simplest solution to storing people's names is a standard character field of reasonable length. Perhaps another one for "legal name" if needed. Maintaining a `tzdata` equivalent for names is a losing battle IMHO

Step 1 is "reduce dynamic content" but the bottom line is a plug for tens of KBs of JavaScript (per request) to track your users :)

I wonder if this is intentional trolling
