Generator, in how do i create a community?
@Generator@lemmy.pt avatar

Depending of your instance, see the local communities, you should have some for “community request” or meta, look for the description of the communities.

You can also request on other instance, doesn’t need to be on your instance. Some can be more restrict then others.

There’s also theme specific instances, like Star Trek, Path of Exile, FOSS… each instance can have his own rules.

RatzChatsubo,

So I tried again today and had no issues. I wonder if the server was overloaded or something

ThorCroix, in Where can i find posts with comments?
@ThorCroix@lemmy.eco.br avatar

Lemmy doesn’t as many accounts and people participating as in Reddit. But the more you participate the more you motivate people to do as well, because it can create the start of conversation.

Also…

Choose “active” or “hot”.

Skink, in Where can i find posts with comments?

It depends on what communities and the instances those communities are on. That includes the intentions of the communities themselves. Some are just bots relaying information(certain news communities, tech communities, etc).

So that’s important, and then on top of that it’s important to remember the fediverse is growing, while it’s been around for a number of years it’s still very much new to bunch of people. The amount of users or members compared to twitter, or Reddit(which I’m a refugee from), or facebook, etc is tiny.

So the fediverse is growing and while I love it right now, more and more folks will sign up on different instances and if everything works out the engagement will increase.

Feddit.de because Deutschsprachig and I loved Reddit, but would love to see a successfully federated version of it.

GeneralRetreat, in Should a persons susceptibility to fasicsm be identified?

In what context?

Who’d be doing the identifying, how would they be doing it, and what would they be using that information for?

‘Should’ is a question of desirability, so the above is really critically important.

bear_delune,

Absolutely agree! I don’t have the answers to those questions

Do you have any contexts in mind?

GeneralRetreat,

Well, one context I’m already familiar with is the counter-terrorism duty in the UK. There is a program called Prevent that is designed to tackle radicalisation risk that could result in terrorism or non-violent extremism.

These programs basically work by placing a duty on certain types of organisation to report concerning behaviours that could result in radicalisation. An example would be a teacher or social worker overhearing a teenager espousing violent ideological positions that they’d been exposed to online.

This then results in a referral to the local counter-terrorism police unit, who carry out an assessment to determine the level of vulnerability and risk. Far-right ideologies including fascism can be accounted for here. Depending on the outcome, this may result in the referral being closed, or a multi-agency support plan being developed for the individual.

In that narrow band of circumstances, determining someone’s susceptibility to fascism as an extremist ideology is warranted. That’s in the context of a reactive specialist law enforcement assessment, when there is a justifiable national security interest in the prevention of terrorism.

That said, this is very different to indiscriminate profiling on a population level. If everyone in the UK was subject to mandatory fascism assessments, that would be massively intrusive and disproportionate, and an enormous infringement of civil liberties - even if the government attempted to justify it on the same national security basis described above.

bear_delune,

What about handling it like a mental health issue?

geno, in What made you pick the Lemmy server you are on?
  1. Googled “Lemmy” to see what it even is
  2. "wtf is an instance"
  3. Checked some of the most used instances. At this point I wasn’t sure if it matters much, but I just figured it’s best to just pick a popular instance.
  4. found lemmy.world, and the description goes “The World’s Internet Frontpage - Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use.”
  5. “sounds good enough”, created account
wanted, in are some communities on this Lemmy thing inaccesible by searching? If so, how to find them?

I think that it has to do with lemmmy and instances. When no one has searched for a specific community from your home instance this community isn’t known by your instance. To find a niche community that wasn’t known by your instance you must use the exact name of this community (like !asklemmy for exemple) to find thoses exact names and brosse all communities you can use lemmyverse.net

MaggiWuerze, in My 13yo stepdaughter just recently started watching Gilmore Girls with her mom. What are some good things to say during their post-watch discussions that make it sound like I'm in the know?

You would at least know in what season they are, so you can shit on the current boyfriend of Rori. Although it's only either Dean, Jess or Logan. She basically just rotates between them.

Maybe a "she should listen more to Emily" if you want to start shit

Watcher, in What made you pick the Lemmy server you are on?

The list of blocked instances made me switch from feddit.de to the current instance I’m using.

Dislodge3233,

Can you explain?

pztrn, in Can I run a server just for myself?
@pztrn@bin.pztrn.online avatar

I’m running my own server, but it can’t run on user device reliably, because most federated networks working in push mode, means remote server pushing new content to yours. And if your device will be offline you won"t receive content you miss.

Because I’m a furry. obligatory OwO

ellesper, in what is the safest way to make sure a wasp or a bee won't attack you?
@ellesper@lemmy.world avatar

Bees couldn’t care less about you unless you’re threatening them. I constantly have bees in my garden and we can peacefully coexist. Fuck wasps though.

hungryphrog,

Please don’t fuck wasps.

godless, in Do Japanese toilets live up to the hype?
@godless@latte.isnot.coffee avatar

Absolutely yes. I'll never go back.

quixotic120, in I'll have my first appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow. What should I expect?

Been to a few psychiatrists and work with a lot as a clinician. For a first meeting you should expect to give a lot of history including familial history, treatment history, substance use history, medication history, diagnosis history, trauma history, developmental history, etc. Skip any that aren’t relevant to you and if you can’t give tons of info that’s okay (eg if you don’t have tons of info on your early development just give what you can, you can skip substance use if you’ve never had issues with it, etc). description of presenting problems including what you’re coming in for but also cooccurring physical issues that may be relevant (eg chronic ailments like diabetes/gerd/migraines) as well as sleep quality.

You may not touch on all of this, it may include other stuff, depends on the doctor. Each practitioner has their own personal approach but those are the broad strokes. Assuming you’re in the USA remember your rights as a consumer: you have the right to know why you are being prescribed a medication, you have the right to know it’s side effects, and you have the right to know alternatives to it. But at the same time remember side effects aren’t always experienced and for some people being aware of them makes them more likely to occur (I am one of those people fwiw)

RomanRoy, in What are some reddit communities you wish to see live and more active on lemmy?
@RomanRoy@lemmy.world avatar
