Hi. I just started buteyko method, and it’s supposed to relax you and release nitric oxide when you do it. I did a session earlier, and I started seeing visuals/swirling of colors in my eyes. I’m pretty sure it was the nitric oxide being released. Are there any major side effects to nitric oxide? Could I get super high if my...

Hello fellow lemmites. This whole reddit debacle is really tragic, and I’m looking for alternatives. Problem is, none of the alternatives have subs like r/buteyko or r/becomingtheiceman. Does anybody know of any alternatives with similar subs, if any exist?

Rather often, I see a post here with say 5 comments, but I only see one or two under the post. Why is this? Am I perhaps defederated from those posters' instance?

I feel stupid for asking, but how did the trans community decided that the giant shark Blajah will become their favourite plushie ?...

Infuriating as I can’t read a thing. Every time I stop to read new posts just bump it down and it’s gone. How to edit this setting? Please help - new here. I want to like it but this isn’t working so far....

It's been great 4 days here on fediverse for me. But I started to notice that there is barely any content in form of videos or gifs. Every content is just static in form is images or text. This is what I am really missing here compared to reddit. Is there any particular reason behind it?

Many communities come up as deleted for me when I open them, although I can access them from my local instance. All of them are in lemmy.world. Some examples would be...

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....

I’m mostly interested in tech, but I’m curious to hear your favorite forums for any topics, really! Especially some niche, underrated ones…

I read a post about it but the post was deleted and I can't find anything on google. What I gathered from the post before deletion was its some kind of religious thing but it scares most people?

He would be the perfect person to AMA as he’s already associated with Reddit revolts, and it would result in tremendous media coverage and mark fediverse as a viable alternative to Reddit. What do you think?

Please don't ask why I need this....

I began noticing on Reddit (official mobile app) that if I hadn’t viewed a community in a while, it would NEVER show up in my feed. I always assumed this was Reddit trying to play “Facebook” BS - safe to assume with Lemmy that won’t be the case?

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

i feel like this would be a good thing to pick up also if i make something i could possubly sell it locally, maybe and i could use the money to but more craft supplys or things that are needed. ive also been wanting to be more creative lately but im not sure how or what to make, got any ideas by chance i tried selling posters...

I plan on making two videos, one where I explain how Lemmy works and then how to post in a community. I'm going to do my own research but is there any points you want to give to a new user?

Does anyone else have this odd issue when browsing lemmy where it will auto snap to the top of the page every 2 seconds?

With all these new bot instances popping up, have you already seen these accounts actually raiding stuff? And can/do we defederate from those instances?

I was wondering how the pre-reddit lemmy members feel about the influx of ex-reddit. Have things got worst or better? Is there any lemmy etiquette that we are missing?

I've always been a lurker, but now seeing lemmy's growth, I figured I would like to contribute somehow....

As a long time Reddit user, there's something about Lemmy and the fediverse that feels really refreshing and new. I think it has to do with a few things......

Would sound stupid as I don't indepth of PeerTube yet but I have heard that PeerTube is federated video sharing platform. I also heard it can't hold much a load which makes sense as HD videos takes lots of load. That begs me the question why don't we use it for small/short videos(not those vertical videos) to build communities...

I’m using Jerboa, I don’t know if it is an app thing or a lack of content thing, but when sorting things by “hot” I only see old posts, should I only see things by new?
