Excuse my ignorance im just curious.

Just wondering why lemmy is on a .ml domain. (Which is Mali) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ml

The Lemmy Frontpage gets cluttered really fast. Is there any way to get a better overview? Maybe a compact view without pictures. Something ike old.reddit or Hackernews....

Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it...

What opinion just makes you look like you aged 30 years

Say what you will about reddit, at least an established subreddit was the place to gather on the topic, ie r/technology etc....

Lemming greetings,...

Personally i'm looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.

So to “correctly” open a community from another instance I’m instructed to “enter it into the search bar on your own instance”. Ok, I’m on Lemmy.ml, mobile browser in Firefox- where is the search bar? I can’t find it…

Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it’s blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any...

I imagine there’s excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too....

I live in the UK, but our summers are getting hotter, and I’m struggling with profuse sweating and mild dehydration....

I don’t mean my username! Yours!...

Don’t exactly know the best way for this to be made. I’m guessing a special page built into the platform might actually be the best way. It’d just provide a list of all communities the instance federates with in order of ascending age....

I’ve already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances....

I’m just another reddit refugee to be honest

I use geh Firefox forks mull and fennec, I occasionally use vanadium. I just like privacy but tor is overkill for me

Hey all. Since the Internet has just been boiled down to the main big social media sites, it feels like the magic is gone. Whens the last time someone said to you “hey check out this cool website”? It’s always the same: TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, FB, Reddit, Discord. Forums are basically dead. Chat rooms are dead. Message...

Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?...

I kind of want to move over to lemmy.ml because I don’t like the content in lemmy.one if it helps I also deleted my lemmy.ml account because I signed up for both and thought I could only have one. Going to the lemmy.ml website now says 404 deleted and I want to fix that.

I’m down for more chat rooms, especially the alive and kicking rooms....

It really whips the llama’s ass. Post says it all. Foreveralone. Take my upvote. Are we in post-social media yet or what?

Welcome everyone to Lemmy!...
