To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had...
After a week on Lemmy/kbin it strikes me that one of the major oncoming problems that the Fediverse has is the fragmentation of communities across multiple instances that were formerly centralized in reddit. While this fragmentation into instances has significant upsides, it shifts responsibility for finding and subscribing to...
Reddit always suffered from multiple of the same subs, or it was hard to track down regional subs. a regional sub naming convention might help alleviate this issue. instead of just toronto make it torontocanada [place:country] for example?
I want to self host my own lemmy instance for personal use. I have seen there Github page and it is really easy to set up but I have some questions?...
Since the Fedidverse is all connected, should I have one account for accessing both Lemmy and Mastodon or have separate accounts for each one (as I do now)?
So I just started with the fediverse, I heard about it for years, but never did the real jump to go full in. For now I started with lemmy because it seems to be the easiest option. I wanted to do a small recap of tip, tricks and general usage flow....
As Lemmy starts maturing, there starts being so many communities out there that it’s pretty hard to keep track. I’ve been browsing for about a month now, here’s a list of popular communities I’ve subscribed to that others would find interesting!...
I’ve seen a few posts today mulling over possible solutions to some of the issues caused by Lemmy’s explosive growth in the past few weeks. I’d like to walk through the situation as I see it, point out a few differences I’ve noticed in the federated model vs. what users of other social media may be used to, and offer a...
I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon....
I’ve been looking into the Fediverse and it seems like something I want to get more accustomed to. But iw as wondering if there was an email one based on it? I’ve got like Gmail and outlooks. But I also have a rarely used protonmail. So, I was wondering, is Proton good enough. Or is there a Fediverse alternative?...
Hi All, I’m new to the Fediverse but I’m slowly learning about it and it excites me. It has shown me that there is more than the big services to be enjoyed....
Every time I see a video on other platforms, I may share this on Lemmy. Or every time I get creative to shoot a footage or create a video, I may share too. But, I reached conscientious about the availability and capacity of Lemmy instance(servers) to multimedias and videos, whether uploaded or embedded....
According to the GitHub of Lemmy, the main reason the name Lemmy was chosen was because of Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, the lead singer from MOTÖRHEAD. This is highly problematic and racist because Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister is an avid collector of Nazi paraphernalia. Social justice warriors and woke NPCs will tell you that you...
