EleventhHour

I call foul: the Bajoran day (and DS9’s schedule) is based on a 26-hour day, so a 3-to-4-shift rotation would be an easier switch.

Edit: It makes more sense, anyway. 4 6-hour shifts, with a 30 min meal break each rather than 3 8-hour shifts with a ~50 minute break.

As others have said, the only option available currently is to leave the instance and re-create your beloved communities elsewhere. The Lemmy.ml Admins also happen to be the ones actively developing the Lemmy code base, and they’re not gonna change because they feel entitled to do whatever they want, and technically, they can because they run the instance.

My best advice is to move on from the instance.
