Have you ever been to Tiananmen Square?
  • I went there in 2009. I was too young to appreciate the culture. Locals were busy selling tourists goods and I wasn’t even sure what to soak in at the square.

  • 3 days until reddit's 3rd party app shutdown, Lemmy users drive 985% surge with total 5.7 million comments this month
  • I’m using Memmy right now. All the Apollo users should fully migrate when it’s down.

  • Laura Ingraham Names and Shames Republican Live On Air For Voting With Democrats - Newzasa
  • First of all who watches Sky News. I’ll just end it there.

  • Clearly the best android app so far !
  • I had no idea it was cross platform. I have been using it over Memmy on iOS lately.

  • I love that it's fricking 9:30 PM and there's still light in the sky. Summer is the best.
  • It’s Winterin Australia here. The polar opposite is happening….

  • Israel seeks to steal Gaza's gas fields
  • The Israeli are stopping the Palestinians taking their own gas, but stealing would be overstepping.

  • Lifesize sculpture of Julian Assange appears outside UK parliament
  • Assange will definitely remain in Belmarsh prison.

  • Best way the follow the Ukraine - Russia War without Reddit ?
  • You can read articles on a Google/search engine.

  • What the hell is going on in Russia?
  • Everyone is letting Putin’s ex chef cook.

  • Obama calls out obsession with Titanic sub while people turn blind eye to migrant boat tragedy
  • A Netflix documentary cannot be made from the refugees. There is nothing to dramatise unlike the sub case.

  • [WIRED] A European Ruling Could Make iPhone Batteries Replaceable
  • I’ve changed my iPhone battery multiple times but not for an official iPhone battery.

  • Wagner Group 300 km from Moscow edit Sorry yall I am an American and typed miles out of muscle memory
  • So the Wagner Group is 300km from Moscow and Putin is on his way to St. Petersburg.

  • What app do you use for Mastodon?
  • I am new to Mastodon and have just been using the official Mastodon app for iOS. Interested to know what other apps are popular.

  • Anyone else feels that they're more active on Lemmy than they were on Reddit?
  • Lemmy has made me realize that choosing communities (similar to subreddits) is important to me. I try not to search by /all and find information I am interested in. Having to join new communities again is not exactly a problem.

  • Putin’s plane has left Moscow for St. Petersburg. Looks like he is fleeing from the advancing Wagner Group military column
  • How did they get intel on Putin's flight path? I guess he seems open on his actions.

  • Need help learning how to read books again
  • You most likely don’t have as much free time on your hands. That is a major reason for this. You can start with smaller books of interest to get the feeling of completion.

  • Today I learned @lemmy.ml AskThinkingTim @lemmy.world

    TIL that ladybugs are also called ladybirds

    I am Australian and have always known it exclusively as the American term “ladybug”. Never heard of ladybird before.

    Can you find Lemmy posts on google/search engines now or in the future?

    My understandings on the Fediverse is unclear right now. Will you be able to search for posts just as in stack overflow and reddit right now?

    Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

    I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming?

    I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

    "Subscribe Pending" in Yellow

    Does anyone else get subscribe pending when subscribing in another instance?

    How to subscribe to a community in another instance?

    When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "[email protected]"

    Maybe I just need to wait.

    Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow

    If I was to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance

    Does anybody knows how long it takes to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance with an account? It would give me the green wheel and I don't know if I have to wait "x" amount of time or it's just not possible at this time.
