I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the...

Dont know if its only me but I have never been able to view my profile on the Memmy app

And how many of those accounts are for NSFW content?...

Other than subscribing to communities, how else can I expand my feed some? I just started working with Lemmy over the weekend and I’d like to see comments from more than just the communities I subscribe to so that I can learn about others.

I use a few different programs for completion of job cards etc when i do worm and submit reports....

Am I the only one who gets bunch of posts from leftist and even communist subs/circlejerks in their feed? It’s kinda weird to see genzedong and similar popping up in hot/rising feed. This just hopefully some of the growing pains of a new platform.

I been trying to search and finally found lemmynsfw.com/c/gaybrosgonewild but I can’t add it anywhere. I searched but nothing pops up. And can’t find a place to subscribe. I’m looking to subscribe to it and have it pop up on my feed but I can’t seem to figure out how. It’s rather frustrating and if I can’t find a...

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

I have asked this question to countless people (mostly in hair salons) as an alternative to small talk, and it always yields interesting results....

They’re driving us nuts. Thanks in advance :^)...

I just jumped onto lemmy.world on PC during lunch break and got some sick images popping up (some guy stating he raped a child in the woods) and old men having sex. I stopped there. Is Lemmy under attack or? I’m on mobile now and it hasn’t happened here.

I’ll go first. I’ve used a lot of search engines, I used duckduckgo for quite some time but found their search results kinda bad. I’m currently using ecosia the search results are similar to ddg’s but at least I’m planting trees, so there’s that.

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....

My idea is this: I just want to send to a server like this a request from my domain name and username, but I don’t want to run a full instance. Is this technically possible?

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?

Just got interested in what the age breakdown is on here....

I feel like my house is constantly a fucking mess. My wife and I work 80 hours between us and we have a 2 year old and I feel like it’s constantly a mess....

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?

I searched for and found a community on another instance, but I don’t see any options to subscribe… could someone ELI5? I must be missing something obvious....

Explain any one particular complex topic using an analogy you found interesting or easily understandable.

For me, it’s sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I’m driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I’ve loved it since I was a child and I’ll never stop doing it!

Is there a way to see what posts you have upvoted? I was trying to show a cool thing I saw on lemmy earlier to someone but I can’t seem to find a list of my past upvotes....

Tired of seeing posts about Threads, for example. I would appreciate being able to apply a soft (show that post exists but collapsed and with warning) or hard mute (don’t display the post) of posts with that keyword (in title or body)....

From what I got (correct me if I’m wrong) you can only see posts in the languages that are set in your profile but those depend on your instance’s languages. And it seems most instances don’t support multiple languages. Filtering in lemmyverse.net, the only instance that includes smaller languages seems to be feddit.dk but...

Back in the day I used to really like browsing soundcloud, listening to mashups, indie artists, and whatnot. Eventually soundcloud got too big and took down a lot of content (probably due to copyright) and introduced paid “pro” accounts. Is there a place like the early soundcloud on the fediverse?
