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 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...
The idea for me is to build a client which is solely focused on media consumption....
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?
Just wanted to ask: what do you not like in Lemmy (Lemmy as communities, server and clients)?...
Subscription models only make sense for an app/service that have recurring costs. In the case of Lemmy apps, the instances are the ones with recurring hosting costs, not the apps....
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?...
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....
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.
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....
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?
I swear I made a post to a community and lemmy automatically detected that it had the same URL link as another post in another community made by someone else and listed this post as a cross post....
This is something pretty small but extremely annoying....
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....

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.
Down with the algorithm telling us what to read. I just want to see most recent first. Thanks.
I’ve read some people saying that it’s better. How has it changed?
Sorry if this is obvious question
I’m subscribed to quite a few communities now but my subscribed feed is still pretty barren. Whether I sort by hot or active I’m seeing the same few posts a lot of the time, often with very few upvotes or comments. I also see months old posts popping up again and again. There is a post on one community with -39 score from 8...
Is there a way to fold the comments besides the minus on top?...
