Well, my kids are in university so, no.

The point is they know what the 2020s is. I had this conversation with them and they were able to pick out distinct styles and talk about all sorts of local and international stuff they listen to and watch. They have friends and go to local shows. They have their own thing going on. They can look at pictures from the 2000s, 2010s and now and tell the difference where I can't. Just because you're out of touch and seemingly miserable doesn't mean no one has a distinct identity today lol.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you but that is because you are old. My kids listen to distinct music, play distinct games and know a whole group of celebrities I never heard of and will look back at the 20s as their teenage years that were distinct from the time that they look back on it from.

Yeah but the unvaxxed population in India are literally living in shacks with dirt floors and can barely read but the unvaxxed population in the US choose this because of facebook posts

When I was growing up in India I believed that I was surrounded by the dumbest and most ignorant people on earth, then I moved to the US for a while and was surprised most people remembered to breathe.

Yeah, my parents were from a small village without reliable running water and toilets and I'm an computer microchip engineer that lives in a house I own with clean filtered water and a bidet.

No, the meme is about countries have all been used as tools of US foreign policy then ditched by them and left for dead.

It doesn't and the answer is not really. You can post to lemmy communities by tagging them like a user and see the first level of comments but you can't reply to them or make your own comments. Piefed might have some kind of extra federation integration built in but lemmy does not. A friend of mine wrote a script that will enumerate all the links on a pixelfed instance and then search them on lemmy to manually pull the content but its clunky.

Is there any integration between pixelfed and lemmy? Can I view pixelfed users at all?
