lemmy

That’s three major instances that have gone down in the last couple days. Clearly u/spez is trying to kill lemmy.

DO NOT OPEN THE “LEGAL” PAGE...

Title says it all. Unless I’m missing something, I don’t see a way to do anything wiki related at the subs I’ve created.

I commented on a post a while back and thought I’d check it out again to see if there was any additional discussion. When I clicked into my comment to get to the original post, I realized the post itself had been removed. I’d like to go into the modlog and see why it was deleted but I can only filter by user. Is there a way...

With threads coming to the Fidiverse, I feel dirty and violated. I don’t care about my posts being accessible from various instances, but I fucking don’t want meta to use what I write, from my username to my subbed communites and such....

Hey everyone, I am looking to change the domain name of my self hosted instance and had a question....

I wonder if there is or will be a functionally providing the possibility to “hide” communities for a user? For instance I am not a soccer fan. So hiding communities with particular soccer teams as topic would be great. Later maybe I am interested so “unhiding” would be the other way around....

Due to the nature of the default robots.txt and the meta tags in Lemmy, search engines will index even non-local communities. This leads to results that are undesirable, such as unrelated/undesirable content being associated with your instance....

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....

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

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....

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)...

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....

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!...

Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It’s probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn’t apologize at all)....

(These instructions are for using Lemmy in a browser. If you are using an app, some steps may differ.)...

With forewarning about a huge influx of users, you know Lemmy.ml will go down. Even if people go to join-lemmy.org/instances and disperse among the great instances there, the servers will go down....
