asklemmy

Like a lot of others, I’ve been looking at Reddit alternatives recently which is what landed me here at Lemmy....

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing....

ELI5 Dead Internet Theory

Whether it was a cross country trip, a bike ride or on your commute to work, what is the creepiest thing you’ve seen while traveling?

My city redesign our downtown roads to have a whole bunch of horrible one ways in the 50s, and we are FINALLY changing back to how it was while making improvements like bike lanes. The first attempt at bike lanes with the current layout was horrible, basically death traps everywhere... Hoping for something better this time, lol....

Only heard of it recently is it another federated platform like Lemmy or pixelfed?

What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I'm not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?...

North East? South? Midwest? Something else?

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

Most of us are Reddit refugees, and probably clicking more random links than we ever did before on websites we’ve never seen before. This whole experience feels like the old internet, but also throws up insane red flags with a modern internet perspective. What are the cybersecurity weaknesses we should all be looking for, and...

The Singularity is a hypothetical future event where technology growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, leading to unpredictable transformations in our reality^1^. It’s often associated with the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, potentially causing radical changes in society. I’d...

Can someone invite me to tildes.net? If so, I would send you a direct message with my email address.

Since coming to lemmy I will browse all vs local and top by day. There is a solid amount of AI generated porn that has many votes in a 24 hour period....

I've fired up my own Lemmy instance, but am keeping it closed right now. It's mainly so I don't contribute to the user load on the more popular instances, but I may open it up to a circle of friends and family at some point in the future....

What questions would work great for a ranked-choice poll?

I think for the past 3 days my entire feed is 90% asklemmy posts. Not that I dislike asklemmy, just is a lot of this one community.

i personally have ones for languages English is lemmy.blahaj.zone | and for estonian lemm.ee

Think Automoderator but available to everyone (although bots would need some instance admin / community moderator approvals to prevent abuse)

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?

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

I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?

What's the point of paying bots to join Lemmy instances?

I can finally subscribe to things on lemmy.ml! (after upgrading to 0.18 rc6)...

Can be food, tools, music, whatever comes to mind

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...
