The protocol they have in common is ActivityPub, the same thing used by Mastodon, Calckey, etc..

I've got a muffin pan I love from USA Pan, and like all their stuff, the non-stick is magic.

Are you a professional or a hobbyist? How did you get your start in programming? What type of project/s are you working on currently?

I've been working professionally as a software engineer for a bit over 20 years, and I was programming as a hobby for over a decade before that. Been in a number of different industries; you can find interesting problems to work on anywhere, but life for a programmer is always best at a company whose primary business is software.

Why are communities on Lemmy.ml more full compared to the same on a different Lemmy instance?

I think it's because of the server overload some instances have been suffering. It might be affecting sync between instances in addition to the timeouts for user interaction.

Yeah, there's plenty that's confusing. I also see that I can follow mastodon and calckey users from kbin, but they don't seem to actually show up in my feeds.

I'm on kbin, and to sub to a community on a lemmy instance, I have to replace the ! with a @, because that's the actual underlying name, it seems. It's a bit confusing.
What's everyone's favorite cookbooks? My #1 is going to have to be Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson. It was my introduction to real sourdough, and the basic Country Loaf recipe is a staple in my house.

I've noticed a minor issue when trying to subscribe to a Lemmy community. On the Lemmy instance, the link format for a Community starts with an exclamation mark ("!"), instead of the "@" used here and across other services like Mastodon. Copy/pasting the community to the search bar doesn't work until I manually change the "!" to an "@". Subscribing to things on other instances is already somewhat confusing for new users, this makes it even worse. Suggestion: if the "!" doesn't work, automatically try "@" behind the scenes. As a side note, Lemmy instances have a helpful message telling you exactly how to subscribe to something from a different service or instance. I'd suggest putting a similar message in the Magazine sidebar along with the Magazine username reference.
