asklemmy

I hope this is a clear enough description of what I'm asking....

Today I was made aware that beehaw.org blocked my entire instance. I would be ok if I simply could not write a post/comment in beehaw, that would be reasonable....

This goes out to all the homies that don’t have the time/energy to moderate, and to the ones that do that would like ideas (If there’s been posts about this already then I’m srry)

My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

I want to add a community that is essentially the Lemmy version of an existing subreddit (r/mcmansionhell). Is this allowed?

I’m currently struggling to find my home. I have an account here at lemmy.ml, where most of my posts are, and one at kbin....

I’m trying to register but the register button keeps circling forever.

To me, it was the astounding amount of interactivity between the community....

Something akin to /r/twoxchromosomes....

Wrong answers only. The stranger the better!

Title. Could be apps or websites.

I really want to like lemmy, but it's difficult. I'm new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but... I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having...

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)....

What I think could make Lemmy superior to Reddit is the ability to create themed-instances that are all linked together which feels like the entire point. I've noticed that a lot of instances are trying to be a catch-all Reddit replacement by imitating specific subs which is understandable given the circumstances but seems like...

They don't even want you to use the website I don't think. They've even done experiments where they blocked people from using the mobile website. The more they want me to use their app, the more I want to avoid Reddit all together.

Title says it all. Educate me!

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

I like being able to edit titles!

I just catched myself looking at reddit again....

Simple question: Will you go back to Reddit and other centralized social media platforms, if Reddit step back from the API changes? The benefits of Reddit are obvisiouly, it has million of users and even small communitys have thousands of users....

I’m really enjoying lemmy. I think we’ve got some growing pains in UI/UX and we’re missing some key features (like community migration and actual redundancy). But how are we going to collectively pay for this? I saw an (unverified) post that Reddit received 400M dollars from ads last year. Lemmy isn’t going to be free....

I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it’s better than ‘redditors’, which always sounded/looked goofy to me....

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?
