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....

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?...
I have finished writing instructions for deploying lemmyBB on a production server, which you can follow at the link above. Right now the project is still in a very early stage, nevertheless main funcionality is already working. This includes browsing communities, posts and comments, writing posts/comments and registration/login....
The platform/service is still in beta and opening up invites to its first users now....
Lemmy.ml has long had some political conflict among the userbase, especially in communities like worldnews. This is because the instance is composed of both leftists (anarchist/communist) and liberals (those who agree with the mainstream political views in western countries). Additionally, the instance admins all belong to the...
I have installed connect for lemmy on my phone, but I don’t particularly like the way the website looks, are there any web apps for lemmy?
The idea for me is to build a client which is solely focused on media consumption....
Currently if you archive a Lemmy thread you can see all the posts and comments but all replies to all comments are hidden in a “X# more replies ->” which if clicked it tries opening it forever and the replies never load....
Maybe I’m misunderstanding how the Show Context link is meant to work, but I would think when you click Show Context, it should show the comment being replied to so you can see the…Well, context....
You can find it here. Source code in the link.

I’m getting tired of every time I load a post that it defaults to sorting comments by Hot, and I prefer sorting by Top, so I have to load each post I read twice. There’s only a setting to default sort posts this way, not comments in posts.
My block list is quickly filling up with communities that I don’t have anything against, I just don’t speak the language. Does such a setting already exist? If not, are there any plans to add one?
Basically what the title says, while the page is loading sometimes I will see someone else’s username and pfp in the top left corner before it switches to my own when the page finishes loading. I have seen this happen twice now....
