I’ll start. Not to toot my own horn but I feel I’m at least partially responsible for getting a friend to see the value of romantic love, which she managed to find!

Let’s say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot....

When receiving unsoliciting phone calls by telemarketers, many people consistently hung up, don’t bait, and don’t interact. So why don’t telemarketers delete from their databases such phone numbers that don’t lead to any sales or other business benefits?...

Is there a way for me to export a list of the communities I’m subscribed to and import this list to another account on another instance?

Work have started trying out signal for messaging, but I’d rather not have all my personal contacts and conversations on a machine I don’t own...

I feel like this describes me a lot but I also feel like it gives me a broad and eclectic knowledgebase that my employment has nothing to do with and has no mutual relevance to

Greetings....

I know there are sites out there designed for finding Lemmy communities that aren’t within your instance but it can be a difficult to find some more abstract ideas....

This is a continuation on my “series” on pet tricks. Please try to use this format:...

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek....

My views on things often differ from those in my social circle. I am often bombarded with article links and videos from people with no words of their own attached. It is very easy to send a link. It takes a bit of effort to form a coherent paragraph expressing a single thought....

I’m a middle aged guy, who, a few years ago, was off handedly told by a dental hygienist while getting my teeth cleaned, that I was tongue tied. I’ve had a flap of skin under my tongue which holds it down, it isn’t severe, but it does restrict my tongues mobility. For instance, I can’t really stick my tongue out very far...

I would be here all night if I asked the Lemmy crowd every question I had, but one thing that always has stood out to me is what’s on the tin. Call me one of those childfree peoples for asking it how I did (note ahead of time that I do not judge people who have kids, I just find the alternative better), but it’s a topic...

Continuation of my threat thread on where Sunrise Bay from Schitt’s Creek was inspired from, and I was very wrong lol

I wanna see instances federated with most instances now that in individuals can ban entire instances. I know theres still some instances you want completely blocked from the off tho....

Mad Max Fury Road. They defeat the tyrant, and get the control of the water valves. Then they open the valves and seemingly keep them open. One problem, how long is the water reservoir gonna last now?...

I mean more like space tech and launches, not astronomy (though I wouldn’t mind a bit of that)....

i deleted an app and chose to keep its data saved, then i installed a newer apk. it asks me if i want to ‘update’ rhe app, not ‘install’ it. i select to update an app that isnt even installed and it then says it cant due to ‘App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package.’ so to re-cap, i saved the...

I kinda like not having an infinite scroll (just like the web u.i does), feels less addictive.

I’m 62 years old and I just heard about the Hanukkiah for the first time tonight on puppy dog pals. What the heck? How can I live my entire life and never have heard of this. I’ve been around plenty of Jewish people and we talked about Hanukkah plenty of times. I’ve known about the menorah. I’ve known about the dreidel....

Since a couple days, Voyager keep disconnecting me at a iregular interval, so i wanted to know if others Voyager/any other clients users have the same issue and how to fix it.

Lay it on me, people!
