lemmy

We can follow lemmy accounts from Mastodon but I was wondering if we can do it the other way round?...

tl;dr: to reduce federation api calls and to reduce issues with defederation, maybe some instances should only be for communities with no user signups, and some instances should be only for user signups with no communities (you would have to make a post or PM to request the admin to make a community for you)...

As it stands right now, individual mods have way too much power to fuck up the platform by banning people for political reasons and the modlog is not even remotely adequate in providing a full story on such actions. This isn’t too big of an issue now, but as certain instances have proven, it has the potential to become a...

About 10 months ago I posted this thread saying that it would be useful for the fediverse to consider post once, share everywhere paradigms: lemmy.ml/post/641509...

Right now Lemmy is unusable for writing code that contains less than/greater than signs because Lemmy’s sanitizer treats that as potentially malicious HTML code....

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

AutoMod for obvious reasons (removing spam, slurs, etc.), and controversial sort to see the spiciest comments in that thread.

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?

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....

Lemmy is still small and growing, so trying to use your subscribed feed of smaller communities, mixed in with larger communities leaves you with a very uneven feed as your scroll. I like being subscribed to the largest Technology community, but also I am subscribed to the Movies and TV community. One is more active with posts...

cross-posted from: lemmit.online/post/1047028 - because ironically this will not reach instances where Lemmit is blocked....

I deleted them at about the same time, both on different instances. One is empty, from perspective of my new instance, but the other one shows all the posts. What am I supposed to do? I share some of my personal stuff online as means of venting so I can possibly reflect through unbiased responses from strangers and I’m...

Hey lemmings....

I was wondering whether that could cause issues for the limited servers available, like when the mass migration from reddit happened....

Is this accurate? I just deleted my comment and none of the child comments were visible anymore

When making a post on Lemmy, it automatically does searches for similar existing posts. On Reddit you often have the issue of people asking the same questions over and over, this feature should definitely help reduce that!

I love that folks use these archive.org links like this one here:...

i tried creating accounts on lemmy.world and lemmy.tf but a error of captcha incorrect came up even though it was correct

What a hell is going on? I expect to see everything inside backticks exactly as I typed, but something happens to ‘’>" and “...

Because of the time it takes for mods to moderate content on Lemmy, the"new" sort’s been prone to abuse....

I am experiencing weird behavior on both lemmy.ml and lemmy.ca where refreshing, or closing and reopening my browser, will cause me to be logged out. This seems to be an issue with my browser, Firefox 102.13 on Debian Bookworm, but it does not happen with any other sites with logins. I have tried clearing cookies and site data...

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 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.
