  • I still remember the first time (as a layman) I studied the details of how DNA and genetics work.

    You usually get the sense from popular science that DNA is just dices rolling and mixing up genes and everything is totally random, then as soon as you start looking up how things actually work, you find out that your body is composed of actually nanobots with some kind of will, or scope actually, that work within your body doing super complex tasks, and that as of today (well, as of when I read that 10 years ago) we yet don’t have a specific idea of how those nanobots move and reach the places they’re supposed to reach.

    our body is an amazing machine, amazing in a way that goes waaaaay beyond our comprehension… I recently started studying the immune system and that’s even more amazing!













  • I think, for how Lemmy is structured right now, you wouldn’t see all the communities, but just those that other users in your instance already searched for. there’s no automatic global directory for communities, and I think it would be impossible to do given the decentralised nature of the fediverse.

    what it could be done though, is that each instance maintains a manifesto of all their communities, and updates all their connected and federated instances with the updated list. I doubt Lemmy is doing this now, but it could be good food for future features.
