  • Thanks for the answers, @schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de! Because I access the communities from lemmy.ml, I was not sure if it easily will work with other instaces if I just use the link and subscribe. And I thought there might be a feature - that I miss - which automatically integrates the old and new contents.

    And yes, I have seen the “locked” label. Still you could subscribe and read the content. That’s what’s confusing me. - If I don’t subscribe anymore, I will still find old topics by the search, right? So some question still remain, and it would be nice if people could answer what will happen to outdated communities/instances. - I guess they will stay online as long as their host servers are online? So in the future, we might have several communities with the same name, some “dead” some active?




  • Hmm … are you talking about the original Signal app or the Molly app? Because I don’t really understand your news here.

    For me, as far as I am aware, Signal has always been synchronising the chat history. The only condition being, that you have connected your device before in the past, which I think is a good privacy feature. (Although, I haven’t checked, how far back it goes. Never needed that.) - You don’t want any random new device read all our history, or do you?



  • Definitely a classic is “Solaris” (1972 film) by Andrei Tarkovsky. It has a mix of sci-fi and drama, but I can’t tell more without spoiling it. It definitely makes you think … Also other Tarkovsky films have been praised, like “Stalker” that you mentioned. So maybe check out his filmography?

    Edit: Something completely different is “The Mystery of the Third Planet” (1981) by Roman Kachanov. It is an animated sci-fi film for children, but also fun to watch as an adult because of the absurd storyline and humour.

    Other films I have in mind, too, but don’t remember their exact titles now. Will edit this post, if I recall … Edit: You might want to have a look at the Wikipedia list differentiating by age and/or genre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_the_Soviet_Union
