The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

Yeah... Lemmings are not perfect and ok with other people disabilities (^_-)

Oh, thanks for the heads up. I will make an account on a different instance. Which one do you recommend?

This is because lemmy.world defederated, right? So at this point would we recommend people to make a different account on an alternative server? Not a problem for those that have just joined, just delete and make a new account. But have there been any recent developments on migration tools for moving accounts to a new server while preserving account data?

Lemmy has a long way to go before eternal September to be sure. It's once people don't know individual commenters across the entire platform we might get there, but as is the regular users are unlikely to get drowned out anytime soon.

For the past thirty two years, and counting.

I was there at the beginning. Just a wee Luser. Such fun and wonderful times for eleven year old me to be punted into.

Thanks, will do

Is there a problem with Lemmy.world? I joined this one to avoid tankies, but I haven't gotten familiar with the place yet (despite moderating a community lol).

And how to hold your poop in for a few days for... reasons.

No, I said, "I like the slacks you're wearing." They would go nicely with a red hat.

Oh please honey, you gonna scare them. Now kids, welcome to Lemmy! Take a minute to visit and make yourselves confortable. Tomorrow I'll show you my Nobara.

Some supermarkets have them

It’s a joke on how off putting the computer nerds can be here to normies.

I've been dual-booting for about 2 weeks now, and I've been spending so much time in Fedora Silverblue because it's just so nice. I mean, most of the shit I do is browser stuff, so I have no issues there. Most of the time I can get apps to work, but my only gripe is not being able to use NextDNS alongside Proton VPN like I did on my windows computer 😭. I just don't know how to get it to work, and idk how to revert my DNS settings in terminal back to default instead of NextDNS.

But like everything else is fine, and I can still do my schoolwork.

I switched fully over and am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting my life. No more easy defaults of VS Code, back to custom configuring my emacs. No more surveillance, self-hosting and encryption. No more shitty windows gaming, Linux and Proton for gaming bliss!

With the advent of the steamOS console, you're actually correct! If it's anything like my deck it's trivial to launch it in desktop mode and use it like a normal linux desktop. This is the gateway to putting linux in front of bored kids everywhere.

pop the champagne 🍾

we are celebrating tonight

There will never be "a lemmy". There's no canonical "lemmy" out there. There is only 1000 independent websites, sharing select content with select neighbours.

We either accept this, or we return to corporate social media.

Not everyone wants the same flavor of the fediverse.

We'd use Branston beans, but not gonna lie that looks shit hot. Would scran with a bottle of 8% cider.

And why is it Arch

Yes, trying my best to spread the word!

Fwiw, I prefer Fedizen, bc it works for other things too like Mastodon, Mbin, PieFed (where I'm typing this from btw), Friendica, etc.

But yeah, where you are, Lemming works too I suppose.

Thank you fellow lemming!

Monthly active accounts vs total accounts: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Thanks! I was very lucky to get it. Finding the domain (name) is the longest part of the process for me. I go through so many permutations before actually pulling the trigger on one.

Is X available?

Not sure, but I'd also like to know. Sounds like a great feature!

Yeah but if I did do that, then somehow "I'm" the weird one... smh over here... 😜

You just go to the wrong bars man, or so I've heard

Are the white ones actually better though?

Lol for real?

The main thing I heard about Bluesky is that it costs like $100 mill to run your own instance or something like that, so they only have one main instance for now. They technically have federation, but for all intents and purposes, it's just another centralized corporate service waiting to be enshittified.

Nope nothing about race, the name was just an answer to blackpeopletwitter, which is the same idea. Posting screenshots of funny tweets.

There’s one here on lemmy [email protected]

From what I’ve read the sub got ban after mods took time to delete violent comments about DOGE employees. Their names got leaked, peoples started to say dumb shit, often violent. Musk threw a fit about it and Reddit banned the sub.

Making death threats is obviously a good reason for a ban but apparently the reason Reddit gave (unmoderated sub) was false as there’s screenshots of the post being actively moderated with plenty of deleted messages. But it’s those kind of posts with 18k comments so I guess it was moving too fast for the moderator team.

I might be wrong, I just read about that from the r/france post our refugees came from. I did not explored in detail as it’s on Reddit and I just don’t care 🤷🏻‍♂️

As far as I recall it's about blatantly "white" tweets, to underly how clueless and detached from reality they are.

But it may have warped into the stratosphere as of these days...

For a while I was reading and posting on Lemmy, but still going over to check things out on Reddit (without an account) because Lemmy just wasn't getting enough traffic to keep interesting posts popping up. I'm having to do that less and less these days.

I think you're probably right about that. I've always said the next big migration will be when they turn off old.reddit, but perhaps they'll be wise enough to blanket ban links to all the largest Lemmy instances by that point.

The only link that doesn't work for me is lemmy.world.

Please, don't take this the wrong way, seriously:

I find that quickstart entirely useless. How to create communities is already pretty self explanatory, as there is a button for "Create Community". The same goes for Search.

I think an image/infographic with things like "how to link users?", "how to link communities?", is much more useful, as there are no quick ways to find that out, i.e., no buttons.

No. I see several genuine looking users that registered and did nothing (fine I guess). But there's a lot with very similar <somethingnnn>@gmail.com. Some don't do anything and so far I've left them. Some are clearly posting advert crap and they get deleted as soon as I see it. Every now and then I just go through purge the rest that are clearly bot accounts.

If I was actually getting genuine active users I might look into making a form or otherwise making it difficult (not sure if mbin has that ability mind you). But seems I don't really get real users. Just me, posting and commenting all day.

You need to somehow get your url out. Usually if you're just "generalist" people don't see a big reason to register compared to something like lemm.ee. Also new servers have another issue is that one doesn't know if they'll be around long enough. We've lost so many small servers in lemmy when their admins discovered it was more trouble than it was worth.

Thanks. I think at the time I made an instance (about a year and a half ago I reckon), there was quite a batch snapping up kbin/lemmy on every tld imaginable.

It's actually not a bad idea. "The front page of the threadiverse" so to speak. There are plenty of instance lookups out there, but they're generally self discovered. Something that helps match a user to a smaller instance cannot be a bad thing.

Having large instances is a good thing of course, especially for hosting larger communities. But, in order to remain fully independent, smaller instances that can be run truly as a hobby on affordable hardware are essential for the fediverse in my opinion.

Nvm. Completely missed the small "www.reddit.com" under the post. Didn't realise it was clickable. Thanks!

it's not even this instance
