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?

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

Hi guys,...

For me-- Lemmy is getting dangerously close to pulling me away from Reddit, and I love it, but still, there’s a ways to go in terms of ‘critical features,’ yeah?...

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.

As I get older into adulthood I feel like more and more things require my attention. Trying to juggle work, family, home maintenance etc I’m constantly busy. I can almost never find time to rest because there is always something that has to be done. How do you find time to rest and cope with the stress but also get the things...

I know there’s donations and the owners can use their own money, but there’s a limit. I doubt a platform with hundreds of thousands of daily users can survive with only donations.

As a long time Reddit user, there's something about Lemmy and the fediverse that feels really refreshing and new. I think it has to do with a few things......

Mine is from an early 2000s film called Vanilla Sky....

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...

What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

Title

I was gonna ask about the biometrics part in a separate question, but its both about security, so might as well combine it in one post....

As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR complient? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Basically the title. I am thinking I want to start my own instance but not sure what is required? Can someone give me a tldr or link to proper webpage?

I see people cross-posting but I don’t know how they are doing it. All I see for posting options on the lemmy interface is a single community I can select.

I feel like over the past few months, the main thing preventing me from getting super active in the fediverse has been all of the drama surrounding federation and instances shutting down....

What is the point of different servers having communities with the same purpose? For example, the linux gaming community on this server, and the same community but on another server like lemmy.ml

I can see the comment contents by selecting View source on a deleted comment. Is this a bug or a feature? Or something configurable per instance?...

Can Lemmy federate with these platforms?...

I’m so rich! I had so much toilet paper in 2020 that I could afford cooking oil in 2022!

A post over at YSK talked about flossing, and mentioned water picks....

So I’m tired of dealing with Google not respecting my content preferences and I’m looking for a story viewer with a little bit more control. Anyone have any ideas or good programs?
