or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word “proxy”, “host”, or “hub” is simpler...
Pretty cool idea that leans into Lemmy’s ability to provide a rich and federated blogging platform. Essentially, with this tool, it seems, a lemmy post along with its comments can become static content on a static web page of your choice....
Only seen it the past hour or so but I’ve already set it as my default. It seems to work exactly as I’d hoped where smaller but no less interesting communities get their posts higher in my feed....
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....
I hope that this post doesn’t come across as impatient, or demanding – I fully understand that Lemmy is donation funded, and is created out of the benevolence of the devs. I am merely curious if any announcement has been made in regards to a specific ETA. I am certainly excited for its release, but I also completely...
It seems like the whole feature is running wrong and should probably be hidden until it can be reexamined. Because every Lemmy server seems to have “trending communities” that are just empty new communities or are just single-user bot feeds. And those are fine uses of lemmy! But they’re not “trending”.
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...
I love the convenience of not having to create a password everywhere I need to be authenticated. It would be interesting to be able to use lemmy instead of feeding more information to these big corporations.
For example, I’m interested in programming.dev. I want to see what communities they have and how their local posts look like. Therefore, I thought it would be a nice idea for there to be a button which you can press to just see posts from that instance. This would be the same as simply navigating to that instance’s homepage,...
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....
Disclaimer: I like the Fediverse, Lemmy, and the concept of federation, I’ve been here for two years, and I feel grateful towards people working on this platform - devs and admins and mods and everyone else. As such, I hope that what I’m voicing is interpreted as constructive criticism and food for discussion....
With debate raging in the Fedi about Threads’ federation, I was having a discussion with another user about the recently implemented instance blocks. They pointed out that, blocking an instance simply hides their content from your feed but doesn’t prevent your posts from being sent to them. Firstly, is this correct? Is this...
Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program....
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....
