I would desperately love for companies to lose big on LLMs. The vast majority of users just don’t seem worth the huge energy costs. I do think there are a number of worthwhile ML applications that could make the world better, but I have little faith that they’ll be allowed to unless they generate big profits.
Unlike Reddit, Lemmy is small enough that you can browse by New/All and it’s a reasonable amount of time to scroll back through a day’s worth of posts. I do that now and then, and if I see a post in a community I like, I’ll subscribe to it.
I originally figured I’d do that for a while, then I’d just browse by Subscribed, but I find what I mostly do is browse by Top of however long it’s been since I was last on. Like if it’s been around 24 hours, I’ll browse by Top Day.
No worries - lots of options, it’s easy to miss stuff.

Doesn’t look like you’ll be affected for that. If I’m understanding the release right, it’s only needed if you’re trying to access age restricted content or to get messages from people you might not know. I use it the way you do, and it doesn’t look like that’s impacted.
