Is there some way to hide deleted posts? When someone spams a bunch of posts and then they get deleted the post is still there taking up space. It would be nice if there was a setting to hide such posts or have them minimized in some way until you expand them.
I think the way federation currently works spells doom for the fediverse, should any service of it get major traction. Currently, if you subscribe to a community on Lemmy or follow a user on Mastodon, your instance will pull the content of that instance/user and make it available for all to see and interact with. What seems like...
I’m hoping to start a dialogue about the current use of descriptive community names, usernames, lack of semantic URLs, and other usability issues on the Lemmy platform. I say dialogue because I am new to Lemmy and I can appreciate that some things may be done differently here for specific reasons....
We’re about to enter another Reddit mass migration phase starting tonight. We’ve already attracted the users most actively engaged with the protests and Reddit’s changes—users who are driven enough to put in the effort to grow the Fediverse....
So you’ve all see videos from channels like Emkay and Updoot Studios or the like right? The ones that shamelessly steal Reddit content and reads it, no attribution or linkback to the original, all while making fuck-you levels of ad revenue?...
maybe someone could make a merge request in the repository so they could be added to the list, because there are a lot of apps being developed alongside mlem and jerboa, also wefwef.app is an interesting looking webapp for lemmy as an alternate interface? would it count as that? apparently it’s supposed to look like apollo
The two top entries on lemmy.world sorted by hot as of a few minutes ago were a porn link on a porn community (nothing against porn per se, but I don’t want to see it on the front page) and a bot post to some kind of bot link community. I see the “block user” button but I don’t particularly care to see anything from...
Hello, when I search in the search bar for some words, the results are not fully related. For example, if I filter it by Posts or Comments, the results are still inaccurate.

I am still playing around with Lemmy like I am sure a lot of people are. I have accounts on multiple instances to see how things are and what not....
I’ve been using Lemmy for almost a week and I’m loving it. But some aspects are still a bit obscure to me. For instance : I have my account on lemmy.ml. I used browse.feddit.de to find some communities. I want to subscribe to reddthat.com/c/rts....
Hi all,...
Well I never had spam issues, until 0.18 forced captchas to be disabled. Thankfully the bots just seem to be signing up, not doing much yet. Using fake emails that never get verified....
This platform could be a viable alternative for forums (cuz we know in which state they currently are), but the lack of general attachments (any mime/file type) is what I believe stands in the way. I have an electronics forum I run (a local one, nothing too serious) and I believe Lemmy can make it more intereactive (not die out)...

There is a big difference between mild NSFW and full on porno. Suppose there is a News story with photo/video but it’s a little bit graphic or violent. Nobody is jacking off to that. Maybe shouldn’t view it at work, but in the library is fine....
Please. Captcha by default. Email domain filters. Auto-block federation from servers that don’t respect. By default. Urgent....
in the process of deleting every comment of my lemmy.world account, and permanently joining some instance that does not censor stuff
Today, a bunch of new instances appeared in the top of the user count list. It appears that these instances are all being bombarded by bot sign-ups....
I’ve been so used to judging a post just by its popularity on reddit, but it’s actually so much more useful to have an idea of the downvote ratio. I’m glad we have that here....
Is it possible to block entire instances? I see I can block by user or community, but not by instance....
If you’re a Lemmy dev and reading this, the problem is in pict-rs. I have sent an email to asonix with the needed changes, please tell them to check their inbox (since I can’t register on their git server, I can’t submit a formal PR)....
Hi, I used to be the moderator of the (now dead) LibreOffice community. After a while, I kinda forgot about Lemmy and went back to lurking Reddit, using Teddit and RedReader. In light of the API protests, I decided to come back here to see how Lemmy was doing, and I’m surprised by the amount of users it’s getting!...
So that if you paste a link to one of those big social media platforms, it offers to replace it with a working alternative front-end.
Hey there, I wanted to join some communities in the programming.dev instance, but it doesn’t seem to be connected to any other instance (I can’t see it from my account’s instance and its community list also only has its own communities). The signup form also freezes if I try to make an account on the instance directly. Am...
