lemmy

I couldn’t find any dark mode Lemmy icon. Memmy’s icon was close, so I downloaded it and tweaked the background. I hope it’s helpful for some folks.

I did the Memmy Icon recently, here’s the Lemmy icon in dark mode as was asked for in the Memmy post.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this....

I recently encountered a situation where I tried to downvote a post from an instance that didn’t seem to have downvotes enabled. However, my vote didn’t affect the score, which made me question why the downvote button was even displayed in the first place. It felt like it was just baiting me into thinking I could downvote....

I’ve made an app that makes it possible to schedule a post in Lemmy at an arbitrary time. It’s available at schedule.lemmings.world and can be used by people from any instance....

Hello. I’m considering hosting a 1-person instance for my personal use. I’m trying to run on my own hardware, and I have used *nix for quite a long time and maintaining it wouldn’t be much of a problem. However, I’m not quite sure what kind of hardware should I run it on....

I used to use the instances view in Liftoff for this, since that client has a really handy “View this on another instance” feature for both communities and posts, but lately that view as well as Liftoff in general has had some pretty serious stability issues for me, so here’s the question:...

I’d like to host lemmy on my LAN and I’d be the only user, no registration open. I would subscribe to communities on other instances and my instance would get the posts and comments. would that work? I don’t need it to be accessible from the internet.

Title, basically....

I ask generally out of curiosity. I was just thinking that as big social media fractures, old school isolated forums might become “cool again”, and that one of the achievements of lemmy might be as a nice platform for simply running a forum for whatever community you want all without needing to worry about federation....

Found this when logging into the Lemmy.world Place canvas...

I know there’s a purge function, but i had a problem currently with people posting porn picture in my instance(which is not allowed), then later edit out the link so i couldn’t get the picture purged as well. Is there a way to do it?

I know it’s just a far of dream but it’d be cool if someone found a way to pull it off. Not super experienced with federated media so I have no idea the logistics behind it but I just think it would be neat even if it’s a smaller board.

I currently have to use this CSS overload with the Stylus extension to avoid having videos (and also gifs since they are converted to mp4 videos by Lemmy) stretched to fill the whole page width:...

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble finding a Lemmy instance that works well for me. The main instance I use is down, and most others are too slow. I’m wondering if there’s a way to choose an instance based on latency and the least blocked users. I found two relevant issues on the awesome-lemmy-instances GitHub page: issue #12...

Otherwise, if we have a lot of medium sized instances but the most popular communities are hosted on just a few huge instances, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of distributing load across many instances?...
