edit: didn't see rule 1, but anyway I expect answers to be open ended. Just give your thoughts

Do you think that this could be one the major alliances over the next 100-300 years that can properly rival the western world? (BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa)

We are social animals, many or most of us need social interaction for our well being, but also survival purposes taking into account the socioeconomic system and globalization. If we cannot have that interaction in real life, we try to find that in the virtual space. On that, there is increasingly use of AI for social interaction engagement online, most likely without our notice. Does that has any value for you as a social connection? Is it worth it using social media at all for social interaction (actually interaction with AI) at this point? Wouldn't it better to just throw away all these interaction at this point?

Following [#Lemmy](https://rheinneckar.social/tags/Lemmy) communities (like [@asklemmy](https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy)) on Mastodon works surprisingly well. Of course I'm missing out on all the up- and downvotes but then again... do I really need them?

Animals are awesome! They can communicate and form social bonds, while plants are just, well, plants. Animals can move, hunt, and play, making them more dynamic and interesting than plants that just sit there. Sure, plants are cool and provide us with oxygen, but animals are just on another level. If you ask me, animals are definitely better than plants!

It is this even possible?

What are the best recommended server specs for lemmy and which Linux distribution? for testing purposes.

I want to install lemmy's backend from lemmy's master branch but use other lemmy UI who supports RTL. is this possible? if yes, how can be done?

Does anyone know why nodeinfo's localPosts value might go backwards? I've noticed it happen with both hachyderm.io and noagendasocial.com but I haven't been tracking it for long so it might happen to others (and not just mastodon). It doesn't appear to be a field rollover. Also I don't know if it happens all at once or if it is incremental. I've just noticed a drop between two queries a number of hours apart.

on GitHub lemmy has 2 repositories. i'm wondering what is Lemmy and what is lemmy-ui? which one is used for installation?

I am convinced that chickens do indeed qualify as fish. The similarities in their physical characteristics, culinary use, and cultural classifications cannot be ignored. For example, both chickens and fish are animals that lay eggs, have a streamlined body shape, and possess a swim bladder. Additionally, chickens are often prepared and consumed in similar ways to fish and have been historically classified as a type of fish in some cultures.

Anyone remember that there used to be an alternative app to instagram that was called something like "I Heart Things" ? what even happened to it, im not able to find any record of it.

Using Reddit for years , I had come to Lemmy. I would like to know the difference between Reddit vs Lemmy. Like, what features Lemmy has that Reddit don't? Does Lemmy have some features missing that already exist on Reddit? And finally: have you heard of Libreddit yet? It has LOTS of themes, unlike Reddit, including Dracula and others. If you'll please tell me how can I have Dracula theme in Lemmy, I would appreciate it! Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Yours, Expert Plus P.S. BTW, why Lemmy's UI isn't so look professional? I mean, it looks like Reddit's old UI, and as for me, **it's suck**, so can I have a better UI please? If so, how? Lemmy's lite version seems to be deprecated and i didn't find any Lemmy web apps that would be better for me. If you know one, please tell me it! Name it!

I used lemmur nearly every day, but since an upgrade it decided not to find lemmy.ml and other lemmy sites anymore. Now I found out at https://github.com/LemmurOrg/lemmur that the project is stopped by the developers. Is there another lemmy app for android? It's a pity, I liked the app, nice interface and very small and fast.

I'm curious if anyone knows how things are looking for the app. Since the most recent update to Lemmy there's been no ability to read or send comments/messages. Is anyone else having this issue or is this just on my end? If I was more comfortable coding, I'd offer to help but I'd be a liability than anything. Yet, I'm wondering if utilizing something like perplexity.ai or chatGPT (ideally open-assistant in the near future) could make app updates an easier on the team.
