For hours today, yesterday, and intermittently since I’ve been on here (a month or so) lemmy stops loading using jerboa, liftoff, and a web browser....

Saw this proposal originally posted on Github and thought it was worth posting here and expanding on...

I’ve tried liftoff, jerboa, connect and thunder. None of them seemed to have any mod tools available. Is it just not possible to access the modqueue or remove posts on mobile?

[Edit 2: I think anyone commenting should identify how much they use Facebook in their comment lol]...

Hey guys. I admittedly am mostly a layman to the Fediverse as a concept. So I am coming into this post with the knowledge that I don’t understand the technical intricacies of it....

On reddit if I wanted to refer to a subreddit I’d type /r/oneOrangeBraincell/ and that would get turned into a link. What’s the lemmy equivalent?

Since I’ve been on Lemmy, I don’t know what my use is for Mastodon anymore. It’s dead on there anyway. I don’t have anyone to talk to and nobody responds to my posts.

I have checked my posts and seen comments and replies about which I was not notified, but only sometimes.

**EDIT (2023-07-31T22:18:52Z):**I have realized that I was not clear in my original intent for this post – it could be interepereted to mean that I am asking whether or not you could access, for example, Lemmy through the Tor browser. This is not what I meant. What I was more alluding to was if it were possible to create a...

I’ve updated the bot and added the possibility of translating hardcoded links (like this one: lemmy.world/post/2355178 or this one: lemmy.world/comment/1863672) to posts/comments with links from your instance when you mention him. I’ll show an example in comments.

I feel like almost every single piece of software has some problematic dev that has racism, transphobia, or both. I recently read a post about the calc key devs and sighed *facepalm. It is honestly really annoying cause I want friends to use Fedi but than you can pull up a whole laundry list of problems with the devs and it’s...

I follow the #americana on Mastodon and there is a some pretty good recommendations for music that come from the hashtag. Is there any way to elegantly boost a Mastodon “toot” to a Lemmy community?

I’m very new to the fediverse, but I love the concept. I was really excited about the idea of setting up my own instance (because apparently I can’t just wade into the shallow end first). As I started reading guides and thinking through how it would all work, a question popped into my mind: How does an instance A discover...

misskey is another federated social media. Has anyone tried it? Thanks github.com/misskey-dev/misskey

I am trying to switch away from Lemmy.world after getting used to Lemmy to reduce the stress on their servers and add to the decentralized nature of Lemmy.

Hi guys. This is not going to be a long post and I will briefly explain why I didn’t like Lemmy and going straight back to Reddit....

I get the idea of instances, like you can make your own and this is good for privacy. But some lemmy instances are much more popular and this in fact makes it another Reddit. If there are separate instances for niche topics, why not make it another community inside a larger instance?

I just reached 112 myself....

It seems that self hosting, for oneself, a federated service, like Lemmy, would only serve to increase the traffic in the network, and not actually serve the purpose of load balancing between servers....

When is Jerboa getting push notifications?

Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn’t been registering domains since Jan 1....

Imagine federation as a spectrum where on one end everyone has his own instance (server) and on the other end one centralized server....
