What makes a good messenger for you?

Title. Could be apps or websites.

I will rent a v-server today with those specs: 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 80GB disk space...

Not willing to give them ideas so fast....

Like the title says! I got a Go board and stones for an early Father’s Day present, and now I’m trying to find a way to learn the game with my kids online. Any suggestions?

For me, I’m nearly 40 and I really love Avatar the last Airbender, reading YA novels, and sometimes I make pasta with fun shapes, just because I can....

I find that Hot and Active give you really old stuff, at least on my instance, that's like 3-7 days old stuff. New is just new, you know new, no community-assured quality. Top is stuff I've already seen. Where do I get a better feed? Can we have like Top 7 hours? Or a mixture of "top 16 hours" and "active"?...

One thing Reddit dominates on is search results. I’m looking things up and seeing so many links to reddit, which I guess is going to help keep that place relevant (unless those subreddits stay dark)....

There’s been an influx of content surrounding lemmy here. Some of it is open ended:...

Hi. As I am new on Lemmy I wonder, how I can block communities where I am not are interested in. At the moment, I switch to my user menue, switch to Preferences and to Blockings. There I enter the name of the respective community. But I assume there could be a shorter way for blocking a community directly from my timeline, if I...

I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.

Won’t it be confusing? Are there plans to merge both of them together?

Hi guys,...

I’m not getting images previews nor images themselves when I browse Lemmy using the RSS feed functionality. Other websites work fine, it just seems I’m having a problem with Lemmy. Instead, I just get a link and I can click that to be taken directly to the image on pictrs. It makes browsing Lemmy using an RSS client a...

There absence of a few subreddits here in lemmy world are making my experience somewhat incomplete. I was really into r/noiserock on reddit and would like to help re-create that community. It does not seem as straight forward though. Am I only allowed to create communities on my instance? I guess, in general, how are new...

I joined Lemmy a few weeks before the API change. I loved the conversations. I loved how the content was slower but more engaging, and less politically charged. There was nobody shitting on Elon Musk, or Twitter, or Reddit....

I use Lemmy mostly in Firefox Android. When I click on a post and then go back, the page goes back to the beginning. This doesn’t happen in Firefox desktop. Is there a solution to this problem?...

The Taliban got the coveted Twitter endorsement!? Here it is right from the horses mouth and courtesy of Rolling Stone.

And while we’re at it, can you guys recommend the best mastodon client?...

I am gonna start my last semester in CS so for me it was just generally games. I went pretty fast from the game dev aspiring route over to other professional areas in my HS years. What about you?

As my question reads I am curious if the Lemmy documentation gurus are putting together any recommended instance maintenance tasks. Also are the devs going to implement something similar to Mastodon which has the tootctl command and some various cache maintenance and cleanup capability. Thanks in advance. 😀

I recently created a post on Game development about Bevy and it opens fine: lemmy.ml/post/1884869...

Is there a c/getdidciplined community on here? Or is anyone interested in making one?

We can upload images directly to Lemmy but that does increase the load on the instances. What other services do you recommend? Do you have a go to?

I currently use the Liftoff App, I see plenty of gifs in the comments but not many as posts....
