Excuse my ignorance im just curious.

Hi, I’m learing python and I was thinking about createing Lemmy bot.

Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it...

What opinion just makes you look like you aged 30 years

Personally i'm looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.

Say what you will about reddit, at least an established subreddit was the place to gather on the topic, ie r/technology etc....

Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any...

Lemming greetings,...

I imagine there’s excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too....

I’ve already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances....

Don’t exactly know the best way for this to be made. I’m guessing a special page built into the platform might actually be the best way. It’d just provide a list of all communities the instance federates with in order of ascending age....

I use geh Firefox forks mull and fennec, I occasionally use vanadium. I just like privacy but tor is overkill for me

Hey all. Since the Internet has just been boiled down to the main big social media sites, it feels like the magic is gone. Whens the last time someone said to you “hey check out this cool website”? It’s always the same: TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, FB, Reddit, Discord. Forums are basically dead. Chat rooms are dead. Message...

Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?...

I’m down for more chat rooms, especially the alive and kicking rooms....

It really whips the llama’s ass. Post says it all. Foreveralone. Take my upvote. Are we in post-social media yet or what?

Hello Every time I hit an interesting post, it opens whatever web page in the same tab lemmy was opened, and thus I loose lemmy....

I had a look through the documentation but couldn’t find anything in this. Are there any moderation powers held by community owners? How extensive are they if they exist?

While using the webview, I just navigate to a post then hit back to go to the timeline. On going back, however, the timeline reloads again and involves a somewhat annoying delay and re-rendering of the timeline page....

I've been seeing so much hype around Covid-19 lately, and I just have to say, it's really not as big a deal as people are making it out to be. I mean, come on, it's just a bad flu at worst! I'm tired of all the fear-mongering and exaggerated headlines in the media....

How would you write magicians? Would you describe their tricks? Would you reveal the tricks? Please do link any literature with magicians as characters....

Hi. As I am new on Lemmy I wonder, how I can block communities where I am not are interested in. At the moment, I switch to my user menue, switch to Preferences and to Blockings. There I enter the name of the respective community. But I assume there could be a shorter way for blocking a community directly from my timeline, if I...
