I'll give that a go. Figured it just wasn't possible unless it has a button for it. Thanks for the tip.
I'm quite the novice and just accept most anything my brother in law picks out but a Cohiba black is one I can always remember. Has mini/smaller versions as well when I'm not feeling up to the time commitment of the full size.
That was where I first checked. Other commenter mentioned a mod log which seems to have no record of it so I am guessing it just was eaten? Unless there is something else going on. I mentioned it to the other person who commented but at the time I first replied to the other users comment Lemmy states there is 5 comments but I only saw 2.
Checked mod log and didn't see it. Neat feature.
So I guess it just never sent? I still am getting some random errors and such with intermittent failures to load. No biggie. Very least it's been getting better over the last couple days.
Though if I am looking at things right this post I made said there should be 5 comments but I only see 2.
Agreed. Not sure if there is a fair and easy way for the whole "instance" user distribution but the current set up isn't straight forward. Not to say it was difficult but my experience with it was an immediate thought of this barrier of entry is too steep. It's unlike what most anyone has likely ever encountered. (at least knowingly.)
Like mapping a network drive. Is it an actually difficult task? No. Can any significant portion of the general population identify what I just stated? Probably no. Sure a small percent may go on to Google that and figure it out. But in general I find it bad practice to ask that of them.
Would it be reasonable if some algorithm handled that aspect and just default assigned people based on location, maybe a couple quick questions of their interests, and the hosts willing capacity increase rate? Plus some other factors I didn't think of. In some text could also say you can choose from a list of instances if you so choose or just leave it as is.
The only mega thread I think I ever liked and interacted with was Bloons TD 6. But that was also updated to a new thread each day so it didn't become a stale no man's land where comments went to die. (It was for submission of strategy/solution to daily challenges in the game. Some light competition in it too for most unique or efficient set ups.)
Other uses, but infrequent, were around major sales holidays. Subs like headphones or audiophile would make a mega thread for all the sales going on.
But I always felt the vast majority of them just weren't managed or interacted with enough to make them of use and often I'd see people say things like "you should ask that in the mega thread" and then the reply of "I did and no one replied" type stuff.
