          Btw, what’s the deal with your instance? I noticed you’re from one of the original servers from 4 years ago. Do you know why it was founded or can you direct me to some information?

          I’m from the reddit migration, although a bit more experienced than most (having been here over 2 weeks makes me a unicorn on my server).

          I’d like to spread some more knowledge about the history of the platform and what kind of different servers are out there. Problem is, I don’t have any knowledge! Help!

              Ah, I see. So tchncs.de hosts other federated platforms, and someone probably decided to set up a Lemmy site when it was originally created 4 years ago. But it was likely pretty empty until the past couple weeks.

              Ok good to know, I don’t really know about XMPP/Jabber but I like what I see on wikipedia. Thanks!

      I admin a decent sized facebook group, at 10.8k members currently.

      Luckily, the facebook group is specifically for people living in a certain geographical area. As such, I am able to make questions, only somebody living in the area would know.

      You would be surprised, there are LOTS of spammers who answer all of the questions. (Just- getting the wrong answer on the area-specific questions)

      Duct-cleaning spam has been a real problem. lmao.
