Lemmy does not display microblogs, which is what Threads is.

The only way we’d see content from Threads here is if someone on Threads somehow stumbles over content from here (for example if it’s boosted by a Mastodon user they follow), and leaves a comment.

That, or if Threads users tag a community, in the same way Mastodon uses can do.

Basically it expands the theoretical reach of the comment section, but in practice it’s unlikely to have a huge effect.

Since we’re on a decentralized service, you won’t see every post of a user unless you go to their profile on their instance. You’re responding to a Mastodon user, so most of her posts will be invisible to you because Lemmy does not support microblogging. It’s a bit of a confusing quirk on the Fediverse - you always have to visit people’s own instance in order to see their full profile.

A quick look on Mastodon discloses that she’s been posting punk and anti-fascist content for years. :)

Did you subscribe to it? Updates from communities are only received if at least one user is a subscribed to them, so you could probably fix this by subscribing. :)

Edit: So yeah, what e0qdk said!

It could mean your mbin instance has been defederated from the Lemmy instance the community is hosted on, or that the community is hosted on an instance that has gone offline. For some reason or another, Mbin used to federate with the community, but it doesn’t any more.

It could be usful to know which Mbin instance you’re on, and which communities appear broken.

Also, welcome back! :)

It seems you have accidentally found some meaning in your work, something your old self apparently couldn’t imagine. Meaning is incredibly important - life is too short to sit around doing as little as possible in order to make money. Humans need meaning, and you’re still human even while at work.

So you’re not being stupid at all.

Where it becomes tricky is if you are offered positions with less meaning but more money/career opportunities. It’s important not to be run over; meaning and wages needs to be balanced. But it seems the wages are the same here, and neither option is a health risk, so I would pick what’s meaningful for you.

In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero.

By which he means all over the fucking country, which is unfortunately so covered in darkness there are no bright corners left.
