Lemmy’s two main developers are communists so it’s a “platform built by Communists” just like @Cowbee@lemmy.ml said.

Spaces have nothing to do with Discord. They’re just a way of grouping multiple Matrix rooms together into one “space” like how Discord channels are grouped into one “server.”

Yoshi’s Island!

Call bullshit on what? Him being the most listened to artist at one point is just fact. He’s very popular with the latin american community worldwide. Moreso a couple of years ago before the fame went to his head.

It’s an unofficial open-source daemon used by alternative Spotify clients. I used it once for a terminal Spotify client. It’s a pretty neat piece of software.

KDE Connect mounts your phone as a network folder in Dolphin. You could copy multiple files and paste them into a folder in your phone through Dolpin as a workaround.

What about America Ferrera? She matters as much as Margot Robbie and got an Oscar nomination for her role in the film.

Yeah for sure, but all it takes is some curiosity and commitment. The best way to learn self-hosting is getting a Raspberry Pi and self-hosting some stuff at home as practice. Pi-Hole, a VPN, Nextcloud, etc. There’s no shortage of things to host on a Pi and tutorials on how to do it.

You really shouldn’t host anything that other people will use if you’re only a novice. You’ll be responsible for other people’s data, so you’ll want to know enough about being a sysadmin so you don’t put that data at risk.

If you’re gonna stand up a Lemmy server just for yourself and to learn a bit about self-hosting, then take a look at the Lemmy docs.

Night of the Consumers has a premise that is sort of close to what you’re imagining.

I quite liked it. You could recognize users, everyone was generally nice, you could leave for a month without feeling like you missed out, conflict wasn’t worth it most of the time so you’d see it to a lesser degree than compared to the conflict generated in just the past week, and the vegan community thrived. I actually started having conversations with some Lemmy users outside of Lemmy!

I remember how exciting it was when federation was enabled and the handful of instances could finally hang out together.

It was quiet and peaceful, but drama would happen once every couple of months that was both entertaining and annoying.

Throw tofu, green onions, avocado, and bell peppers over white rice and then top it off with very hot chili oil and soy sauce.

Super fast if you have leftover rice and so tasty.

As this is a post on Beehaw, I’m going to abide by the rule and omit any unsavory words I was originally going to include 🙂

Whether intentional or not, the slur filter was one of the most genius things the Lemmy developers have ever done. No one was under any false pretenses that it was the absolute best way of moderating a space. In fact, everyone knew from the get-go that it had its fair share of problems! But it did one thing splendidly: it acted as a barrier against people obsessed with free speech who claim a slur filter is a tool used by some nebulous participants in the current culture war. I’ll refer to this comment made by user uabstraction on Hacker News 2 years ago.

Even to this day you see those people using the slur filter as a talking point against the devs, the software, the wider community, etc. even though it hasn’t been hard-coded or required for over a year at this point!

Meanwhile, as they continue to avoid Lemmy and prophesize its downfall, the people actually participating on Lemmy are growing a community and just generally vibing! No one is fainting at the thought that they can’t say a slur.

Avoiding Hacker News has done wonders for my mental well-being.

Whats stopping someone adding horrific images as a commenter and forcing everyone in the thread to view it?

I agree with you for this exact reason. Lemmy has had its share of trolls in the the past who have abused this feature by posting scat porn in random threads. It makes browsing Lemmy in public scary.

Plus, it makes it easier for people to just spam emotes or GIFs that ultimately lessen the quality of discussions. I’ve seen many Reddit threads that are just:

You didn’t need to switch. You could’ve followed the same communities on lemmy.ml straight from your Beehaw account. It’s one of the benefits of federation.

Yeah live reload is a Lemmy feature, specifically a part of the Websockets API. That API is being deprecated so live reload will go away soon.

It sure does! As of a little more than a year ago, according to the relevant issue on GitHub.

Question, why use the official Mastodon app over Tusky? Especially since the latter has support for UnifiedPush which you could use as an example in Jerboa. Is the UX just that much better?

Por puro milagro.
