It’d be really nice if they clustered by instance. Then one could theoretically follow all politicians in their favorite party without having to look them up manually.

Sometimes local subscribers is nice to know. Maybe not more important than total subscribers, but useful nonetheless. Especially on a small/specific instance where you get to know your instance-mates, you might want to know how many of them are following a thing and whether you’re about to introduce them to something entirely new.

Well would you look at that

The four-color theorem is pretty cool.

You can take any map of anything and color it in using only four colors so that no adjacent “countries” are the same color. Often it can be done with three!

Maybe not the most mind blowing but it’s neat.

I know he says it’s pronounced “jif”, but I just don’t care. It’s like “gift” without the t

That’s kind of the problem I think. I was able to find like 2 people there I want to follow. Lemmy is going to be far more successful at displacing its alternative because all the communities you’d want to subscribe to are here.

I strongly recommend the Wonder Weeks. You don’t really need to read every word. Just understand that your baby will go through big developmental leaps, and that those leaps will first make them fussy/scared -but later make them a genuine joy to be around. If you go into it expecting that kind of pattern (and able to recognize when you’re in a fussy phase), you’ll do great because you won’t over-correct to a 4-day fussy phase. It also just lends some sanity when everything that used to work suddenly doesn’t anymore 🤪
