treagod, in for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?

I feel just a bit heartbroken but at the same time I really love the concept of lemmy.

I'm just a little afraid that lemmy is just a short-lived alternative and the people go back because not everything is working perfect right now.

That's definitely a risk. The main way of avoiding that is to stay active :D

Gonzozilla, in What are your favorite (Youtube) video's/documentaries of all time that you can watch again and again?
@Gonzozilla@kbin.social avatar

Anything from Oversimplified channel. History made funny and fun. I never learnt about the Aussie vs emu war growing up here. https://youtu.be/BXpu6tbFCsI

dessalines, in r/The_Donald has been banned on Reddit, what's to stop those users turning Lemmy into what became of Voat?

Strong moderation abilities, and instance admins like ourselves who actually ban white supremacist communities and not sit on their hands about hosting the largest one on the internet, for years.

edit: like just today, we had a few TERF communities try to set up here. It took us less than a day to ban them. Its not difficult.

That’s good to hear, I’ve got very little idea of how the fediverse works nor how moderation works on these types of sites so thanks for clarifying. I had a look to see if c/the_donald existed and although it seems to, I could see the following:

Make America Great Again removed by mod

No Posts.

Does that mean the community has been removed by a mod then or something else?

@nutomic@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s exactly what it means.

hoodlem, in Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse?

Yes it is the first time. I’m liking it. I’ve never tried Mastodon as I was never into Twitter and the two seemed similar.

rm_dash_r_star, in How do I reach the right people here on Lemmy?
@rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee avatar

I go to lemmyverse.net to explore communities if that's any help. I've never promoted any so I don't have any advice to offer there.

hoodlem, in What are some of the "small things" you appreciate about Lemmy over Reddit?

More engagement. I think the vast majority of Reddit was lurkers. This feels more like a community.

hoodlem, in r/The_Donald has been banned on Reddit, what's to stop those users turning Lemmy into what became of Voat?

Sure, let them. We can defederate if necessary. It’s the system working.

Flax_vert, in r/The_Donald has been banned on Reddit, what's to stop those users turning Lemmy into what became of Voat?

Nothing. However, some large instances could belikely to defederate whatever instance they sign up on and it could become a liability. You could also choose to defederate or block them yourself I think.

mizu6079, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?
@mizu6079@lemmy.world avatar

I've replied to quite a few people and I'm going to bed now.

I'll edit the posts with updates when my poopless journey ends. Either when the three-day poopless period is over (28th June) or when the whole thing is over (30 June/1 July).

Wish me luck.

Remember: No vid, no did

(but seriously good luck and please don't hurt/injure yourself my friend. Godspeed!)

Feo,

Godspeed op. May your cheeks remain pristine.

Tagger,

Do we have remind me set up yet?

heartlessevil,

This is the first post on lemmy I've bookmarked, congrats

Vex_Detrause,

Please don't overthink it. You might get more urge to go when your trying not to poop. You got this! Please update us.

lobster_irl, in It would be cool to have Lemmy pen pals. Asklemmy, what are your hobbies and what's your life like?
@lobster_irl@kbin.social avatar

I‘m in my early 30s, I used to be an academic doing AI stuff, for now I’m a SAHM which has been a big change. Used to do programming, gaming and embroidery in my free time, liked tinkering with my pc setup (I use arch btw). Now I don’t have much time anymore, seriously staying home with a baby is a million times more stressful than any job I ever had! So now the hobby I make time for and refuse to give up is RPGs, tabletop and PC. Can’t wait for my son to be old enough to play also.

the_football_maestro,

What area of AI research were you working on?

VoxAdActa, in Why is a millennium old fossilised human poop on display at the Archaeological Resource Centre in the UK?
@VoxAdActa@kbin.social avatar

Now I'm imagining a National Treasure-style heist, where OP has to smuggle this out of the museum by pretending it's his own for a three-day hitchhiking adventure back to the buyer's safehouse, and that's why he asked the three-day challenge question.

CanadaPlus, in So how does lemmy make money?

Lemmy isn't a company, it's just the software. The devs develop it as a hobby, basically.

Your server is lemmy.world. It's unclear how it will be funded as it gets big. If it goes under someone will start another one, though.

xtremeownage,

Actually- they are full time working on this.

The devs… have socialist tendencies(by their own admission, their words, not mine!), and are more then happy to live on peanuts and bread while building software for the better of humanity.

However, donations to the project, do pay for their basic expenses.

SkyNTP,
CanadaPlus,

Wow, that's impressive! Not many open-source developers don't need a full-time gig.

IIRC they're openly Marxists-Leninists.

sjmulder,

Haha don’t need to treat socialism like a taboo, there’s more to the world than the US and laissez-faire capitalism.

xtremeownage,

I understand- I took that part from one of the dev’s bios.

I don’t have anything to add, I just wanna be part of this.
