I dunno, I thought half the posts there were porn or at least labelled NSFW. You do host one of the best meme communities, from which I occassionally steal.
I’m probably done signing up for new accounts in places, but I’ll subscribe to your communities, thereby linking you to lemm.ee, which might help build things up for you.
Edit: I found main and subscribed, but your memes community didn’t come up. Probably too new.
Yeah but kbin has fallen behind on development. The sole dev has been having personal issues, which is understandable, however the project really could do with more imperitive behind it. Someone forked off and made mbin, but so far that’s just diluting things.
I think lemmy is where it’s at. The core devs are questionable (certainly one of the original duo is, the other is maybe more diplomatic) but ultimately it doesn’t matter who the devs are but specifically what code is put into the instance you use. The devs design the machine, but it’s the instance admin who build it, and ultimately the instance admin is who you’re putting your trust with.
No need to apologise, I’m just trying to give you my immediate perspective. That maybe isn’t even all that important if other people see it different to me.
These are supposed to generate an instance agnostic link regardless of who clicks it. That means they’ll go to their instance’s version of your page, which means they can subscribe or whatever with their logged in account. Rather than going to an entirely different instance, then having to manually search for it in their own instance. However, the caveat is that not all apps have adopted these links - they work on the website, but not all of them work in Jerboa, for example.
There’s also @user@instance, this doesn’t automatically make a link but if you start typing it (on the website) then you’ll get a popup window with usernames. When you select this you’ll generate the code @user@their_instance. This links to the user’s instance, not the viewer’s instance, but it also sends a mention to the user. So if you reply to another user and mention them, they’ll get a notification. I think you can also fiddle with the link text with like [link text](https://their_instance/u/user) and it should still send a mention, but haven’t tested it.
Yeah I’m just completely unable to parse it. Also searching for the URL doesn’t come up with anything, and it isn’t yet in the lemmyverse.net or anywhere else. Elestio is a developer platform, you’re running a virtual machine, and it’s a clone of something else. All of that leaves me a little wary.
Frankly though I think users should be far more wary of the instance they use. The fact is, you’re placing your faith entirely in the instance admin - just because it says Lemmy v0.18.4 doesn’t mean that’s actually what the site is running. I went for lemm.ee in the end because the admin really seemed to know his stuff.
I found a bee near death outside once, and I picked him up with an envelope then dropped him in some manuka honey. He landed upside down, but I flipped him over, then he started drinking the honey. The next morning I saw a smudge on the floor and thought a housemate had squished him, but then I opened the door to the front room and he did a little dance in front of my face before I let him outside.
Suffice it to say, bees love honey just as much as we do.
