I finally managed to see a Little Ringed Plover (Flussregenpfeifer, lit. “River Rain Whistler) from up close! They’re so tiny and adorable, I love them! :-)
Got really discouraged because I barely saw anything in the nature reserve today but he really brightened my day. Thank you Plover!
Ich habe schon darauf gewartet. Auch bei Mastodon passiert das gerne. Da werden dann komplette Instanzen (vor allem die großen wie mastodon.social) einfach komplett blockiert. Da werden sicherlich jetzt einige Benutzer von Lemmy abspringen - verständlicherweise, wie ich finde. Ich selbst bin ja auch auf Beehaw und folgen vielen Communities auf lemmy.world. Ich habe sogar selbst eine eigene Community dort erstellt! Vielleicht erstelle ich mir dann noch noch einen Account hier auf feddit.de.

Seeing a glowing (b)orb in the trees is always a delight! So here's a male Eurasian Bullfinch (Gimpel / Dompfaff in Germany) after just having preened, his feathers still slightly fluffed up.
He was sitting in a tree really far away, but spotting him was simple — so colourful! Saw him on the weekend in North-Western Germany.
For that to happen, I believe that interacting with people from other instances and moving your community and account from one instance to another have to become possible / easier.
At present, people flock to the instances with most users as those often have more local content (local content is generally easier to find than federated content) and they often have a smaller risk of shutting down. If I create a community on a smaller instance, the chance of it being found and interacted with are also much smaller than if it had been created on a bigger instance (because of, as I said, local content being user to find).
Sure, I can create an account on myfirstlemmyinstance.com (example URL, not an actual instance) with 10 users, but if my instance decides to shut down, my community of, say, 500 users will now have to move somewhere else and all old content will be deleted.
Ideally, I think no one instance should have a million users to begin with.
Ich vermisse den Sommer nie. Herbst ist eh am besten.
From personal experience I can say that it runs very well at high settings! Nearly level 20 now and haven’t had any issues yet.
