Definitely - but that’s 15% of the Mets budget. Screwed up as it is, it’s also underfunded, and the result is that Londoners who are most affected by crime - predominantly low-income - will pay for this

If it’s a small enough sub with a tight knit community, they’d have to shut down the whole sub anyway
Man, he’s so professional. He gives answers that I’d expect a very experienced PR person to give, yet he’s just a single-man operation developer.
Yeah I’ve been looking at the w3 spec. It’s interesting. I think there isn’t yet a good explainer page for newbies.
Yeah, I read that before, but I didn’t really understand what that meant.
I think people get way too caught up on technical optimisation issues with a language.
The reason a language, programming or otherwise, catches on is ultimately based on how many people use the language. So the lower the barrier to entry, they more people who will use it. PHP has a pretty low barrier to entry to creating a website (however simple/bad) and it has a lot of cultural momentum. I don’t see PHP going away anytime soon.
This is a great test of the underlying principles of federation.
Maybe you think that the lemmy.ml creator is an unapologetic human-rights hating tankie.
Maybe you think that he’s a visionary and bastion of free-speak.
Maybe you think something in between.
The whole point of a decentralised federated system is that it doesn’t matter.
Okay this federated stuff is really growing on me.
The idea that you can sign up on any server, and still have a feed from many different servers is pretty cool.
If history has taught me anything - I would say that means that kbin will persist forever.
I think that’s the case. But I’m new here too, so maybe there is some way to search across instances.
No, but you can subscribe to both communities from your account on Lemmy.ca.
So it’d act like 2 separate communities on your feed.
I’ve been fiddling around with it a bit. I think the way it works is that you sign up to an instance, and log into a specific instance. You can search for communities on other instances - e.g. ifyou search for https://lemmy.ml/c/memes, which is the memes community on the lemmy.ml instance, you can subscribe to it, even from this instance.
The comments do go across. That’s quite good.
Can someone explain a little bit about how federation works? Can I log into other Lemmy servers using my lemmy.ca login? Also can I create communities that exist across multiple servers?
That’s actually surprisingly common.
