reddit should have never been a company
  • Man I'm tempted to host an old Reddit clone that displays Fediverse content. You should even be able to use RES with it!

  • Lemmy needs multi account UI
  • Mlem for iOS already has this

  • American vs. European Suburbs (and why US suburbs suck)

    I love how the Fediverse/ActivityPub prevents region blocking from being effective
  • No, it wouldn't. The Beehaw server is located in the United States. External communities aren't retrieved via your machine, but via their server.

  • Tomorrow many subreddits will open up again, will you switch back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy (or use both)
  • I'm a mod of a moderately sized subreddit (~15k) with lots of people who use Reddit only to interact with that community. We've been trying to disseminate information about our official Lemmy, Kbin and Raddle alternatives, but adoption has been slow to nonexistent. So I'm probably going to stick around in both, if for no other reason that to moderate said subreddit.

  • Trump finds no new lawyers in time for Mar-a-Lago documents arraignment
  • > Also, layers like to win cases. This case is un-winnable. The incident is a masterpiece.

    That doesn't discourage some of them, especially in high-profile cases like this. Robert Servatiuses exist everywhere.

  • I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.
  • They explicitly told me in Matrix to not write that, so I just wrote two paragraphs summarizing the two posts they linked in the application guide.

  • Every couple of full moons I like to experiment with making my own map projections. Equal-area projection of the land and water hemispheres.

    Whatβ€˜s keeping us from promoting Lemmy on Reddit?
  • None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as Iβ€˜m aware

    Rumor has it they banned a lot of mods and communities for encouraging exactly that to their subscribers, so it was considered quite risky.

  • YSK about Mlem, a beta iOS app for Lemmy that’s already providing a solid UI
  • It works the same as Apollo. You have to tap the text at the very top of the screen (be it the current community name, "All Posts", "Subscribed", etc.) and then you should be able to search for any communities tracked in the cache of your instance.

  • I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans
  • It's interesting that you added serifs and monospacing to a sans serif font. It's almost like comic sans but with all the things that make it comic sans removed.

  • I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.
  • Hm, that's definitely not true. Just ask the admins to remove that user and let you try again.

  • Lemmy Follow Bookmarklet
  • I know of several different groups working on this, from the main developers of Lemmy to people hacking together browser plugins to make this possible already now. I think we will start seeing some of the first of these released in the coming week or two.

  • 7 really is worse than 6
  • IIRC, there's also devices you can buy that will literally measure your eye movements while you sleep and only wake you up at the optimal times.

    Here's one I found with a quick search: https://somalytics.com/somasleep/
    Sadly not yet available.

  • Is there any good alternative to imgur for uploading screenshots?
  • No they don't? πŸ€” I'm pretty sure they did once, but right now I am able to upload images with no account. Just dragging the file into the browser window works.

  • Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Week 1
  • You'd be surprised how much critical infrastructure was implemented through trial and error and has just been left like that for years...

  • how new.reddit looks in private browsing
  • All the more reason that federation is necessary in modern social media.

    The Fight Against Ableism
  • I love how one of the first posts in this community is a link to the Anarchist Library. Proves that Lemmy doesn't have to be associated with tankies.

  • how new.reddit looks in private browsing
  • Wait, how is the GDPR applicable here? I thought the GDPR was just about data protection...

  • how new.reddit looks in private browsing
  • As a mod I've been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it's simply not worth the risk. For now, I've just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.

  • Some history lesson
  • lmaoo πŸ’€

  • the hopefully final June 2023 financial update for Beehaw (lol)
  • I see. Thank you for the fast reply.
