Seriously, what the fuck is this guy on? Do I want individual forums with independent communities and separate identities in each of them? You're goddamn right I do!
Yeah, that's bullshit. Early Reddit is probably best described as "libertarian" - not to be confused with the embarrassing Republican malapropism of the same name. Much of the community was not explicitly political, but they definitely held what would be called "liberal" beliefs by conservatives. /r/atheism used to be a default sub. Political issues of the time such as gay marriage, OWS, and universal health care all enjoyed popular support among the site's community. The demographics of the site skewed young, educated, and technically inclined - /r/programming also used to be a default sub - so the whole site had a sort of "California liberal" vibe.
You can always tell a conservative who found Reddit during the /r/KotakuInAction/ and /r/the_donald era, because their memory of the site doesn't go back any further than those shit-shows.
I had a DOS version on a 3.5" floppy disk. I loved the MIDI music.
As far as I know, Syncthing's local web interface is locked down by default. You should only be able to access it from localhost unless you change the settings. That said, there is some security concerns about JS in browsers making web requests to localhost, which is why I keep a password on Syncthing even though the webui isn't remotely connectable.
A new version of the Lemmy server software was released recently, version 0.18. It appears that the Jerboa app is now expecting servers to be on that new version. It looks like you're connecting to the lemmy.world server, which has not upgraded yet. They are waiting for a feature that won't be ready until 0.18.1
Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do to fix this yourself - it's up to the people administrating lemmy.world to upgrade their server when they're ready.
IMO, Jerboa should not have locked out old versions so quickly.
When they first started joining Reddit, I thought of them as FaceBookers fleeing their parents and grandparents
The real first wave were Digg refugees, but there's some truth to that. Millennials made heavy use of Facebook but largely abandoned the platform when their parents showed up. The only people I know who are still using Facebook are my boomer-aged parents and their friends.

Half-Life is also my favorite. But incompetent? He graduated from MIT!
