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

Lemming greetings,...

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

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...

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

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’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....

I’m just another reddit refugee to be honest

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...

I will rent a v-server today with those specs: 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 80GB disk space...

I am looking for a fediverse solution for a blog and I tried it with writefreely, but it has some disadvantages I can’t live with....

Hey all, I think it’s unfair for me to be the only moderator (plus the admins!)....

What are Lemmy’s feelings about the best cloud storage options these days, if you really want to break into the 1-2TB range? I’m not there yet, probably not even halfway there, but I like the peace of mind of potentially having the space if I need it. And I think subscribing to something in the Netflix price range is maybe...

This is a philosophical question, which means there is no right or wrong answer in a traditional term, but keep trolling to yourself. If you have no own opinion or respect before such question, please do not answer, thanks. I am not looking for low-quality answers such as … no … yes …...

Some people might find the answer to be obvious (yes) but I’ve rarely found it so. In fact, this is a question I often find in the linux community (regarding linux going mainstream, not lemmy) and people are pretty split upon it....
