Hello,...

I don’t even know what sublemmys are called, M pretty sure it’s not that

I searched for and found a community on another instance, but I don’t see any options to subscribe… could someone ELI5? I must be missing something obvious....

I am gonna start my last semester in CS so for me it was just generally games. I went pretty fast from the game dev aspiring route over to other professional areas in my HS years. What about you?

Explain any one particular complex topic using an analogy you found interesting or easily understandable.

I get meta evil, but aren’t we just blocking out any users from accessing the wider fediverse?

I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the...

Is there a way to see what posts you have upvoted? I was trying to show a cool thing I saw on lemmy earlier to someone but I can’t seem to find a list of my past upvotes....

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)....

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?...

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...

Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry....

Hi guys,...

For me, it’s sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I’m driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I’ve loved it since I was a child and I’ll never stop doing it!

If so, what triggered it and what was it like?

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?...

A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

I use Lemmy mostly in Firefox Android. When I click on a post and then go back, the page goes back to the beginning. This doesn’t happen in Firefox desktop. Is there a solution to this problem?...

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.

Let’s get the AMAs kicked off on Lemmy, shall we....

I still use Font Renamer to manage my font collection. It works great but hasn’t received an update since 2008. Even the website looks straight out of the Windows XP era.

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.

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...
