DDG has ads in the search result. Laginis honestly a great service. You can easily filter results and it removes BS SEO spam..

I hate complexity. A few years ago, I wanted to add some feature to some personal code of mine. But I just couldn't figure out how to do that without rewriting a significant portion of it to allow for that. There was another feature (let's call it feature 2) that just added so much complexity to the code that made things hard. I had an absolute stroke of genius: Just delete feature 2. This probably sounds stupid but I felt like a goddamn genius. Just deleting something solved all my problems.

So it seems like lemmy is still improving in content, even though the reddit situation has stabilised. That is awesome to see!

Friendly reminder that lemmy is still being actively developed. There will be many performance improvements in the future, as well as UI and whatnot. Stick around, create content and engage with your communities.

Lemmy.world is ran by a pro. Dude runs one of the most used mastodon instances. The fact that Programming.dev is stable while .world is not quite so, is purely due to the amount of users. Get 80k on this instance and you will see what happens..

I checked the about page and damn.. It is a for profit company and quite a big team! It consists of 26 people (!) to build a terminal... It is probably going to be a subscription at some point.. Not for me.
