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.

Lemmy is not going to be Reddit. It will not inherit the reactionary behaviours. Ensure civillity and disengage if uncomfortable. Have a good time!

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’ve dabbled with Linux over the years, first with Ubuntu in the early 2010s, then Elementary OS when that dropped, and a few years ago I really enjoyed how customizable the gui was with Xubuntu. I was able to make it look just like WIndows 2000 which was really cool....

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

Just because software is open source does not mean someone is actually looking at the code. But depending on the software there are incentives to do so. Some people might be technologically interested on the way a software does something and look at the source code for that. Some people might want to check the benignity for...

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...

You might have old accounts especially cloud accounts that are just idling abandoned while still holding personal information. They might have old weak passwords just waiting to get compromised. Same goes for old email addresses that you do not use anymore but are still linked to other accounts. This is a reminder to check...

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

I vaguely remember reading something about leaking your private network setup if you used Let’s Encrypt to generate your certificates....

Kickstarting this community; let’s discuss our favorite apps on Android & iOS.

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?

I can see that I can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon (just tried it out with a handful of communities), but I don’t see a way to have it work the other way....

I’ve seen the post saying that the lead developer is stepping down, I’ve seen his accusations of abuse. I’ve seen enormous write-ups which make questionable claims about how he’s the devil himself. I’ve seen a lot of rumour and hearsay, and now I’ve got no idea what to think....

For a while now I’ve been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I’ve also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn’t keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.

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....
