Haha that’s another kind of rabbit-hole. Peertube would be cool, but in the end you can upload it anywhere, who really cares.

No, on lemmy you can’t subscribe to users at all. What activitypub call groups is what lemmy uses. A mastodon user can subscribe to a community on lemmy, because mastodon allows for subscribing/following groups, but the other way around, following users from lemmy that are on any other platform is not possible.

The Dev said that it would be a huge amount of work to implement this and it doesn’t even fit into the linkblog style thing that lemmy is. How would the content of said user be shown to you here? It would get even more confusing fast.

Awesome, the RedReader dev is thinking about moving his app to lemmy!!

wasn’t failblog like really really dumb, like a worse 9gag?

First kind of people in new online spaces is always tech nerds. Then the trans people come, or the tech nerds become trans, who knows. Anyways, it shouldn’t take long ;)

Start a bunch of communities, you can always start a server later.

Post this to !artanddesign@lemmy.ml :)

I corrected the title and post!

Yeah it’s a sobering experience. Also freeing :)

Can I still post and comment in those communities while logged in through lemmy.ml?

Yes, exactly! You only need one account on one server and can use that server to follow and post everywhere!

Don’t beat yourself up, it’s complicated. I remember how lost I was when I first joined facebook years ago ^^

you can follow the communities from the midwest server by just searching for them on lemmy.ml. You don’t need to log in (you can’t, actually), on midwest.social.

Think of it like e-mail. You have your account on lemmy.ml, but you can send e-mails to everyone on any server (in the context of reddit join and comment on any community).

Just search for the community in the search field and even communities that are on other servers than lemmy.ml will show up!!

Let’s just stop this conversation here ^^

you can search for !communityName@serverThatTheCommunityIsOn.domain and your server will look it up and you can join it. No need to have multiple accounts.

Edit: instead of the above you can also search for the link to a community on a foreign server to look it up, both works.

i.e. if you were on a server that didn’t yet know about https://beehaw.org/c/news, you could search for https://beehaw.org/c/news or !news@beehaw.org on a lemmy server so the lemmy server will recognize that community and list it, you’ll then be able to join it, participate, mod it (if you’re given the rights) etc.

There is no platform. There just are independent servers that make their own decisions.

The ethos of open source is that anyone can use the code to do whatever they want with it.

That’s why the code is public, for lemmy as well.

You know, there was a nazi lemmy server, a while ago. It just wasn’t connected to all but one or two very small other right-wing lemmy servers. Because everyone else blocked them.

Because someone might spam disgusting content because they don’t like lemmy.

FOR WEEKS THERE WHERE PHOTOS OF PEOPLE EATING SHIT IN THE TIMELINE A COUPLE OF TIMES PER DAY.

Where do you read this, on lemmy or the website? https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html

Your account is 3 hours old, what do you think is the ethos of Lemmy?

Yes, I wouldn’t mind a theoretical automod that helped with admin work. I am not against that. I am trying to explain how we arrived at the situation we are at today, where all servers are with application only.

but banning an account wholesale like this for any reason defeats the purpose of this platform.

Accounts can’t be banned wholesale. They can only be banned by the admins of a server.

I was just talking from experience. I believe that the spammer could easily create a new account and then just spam offending images, whatever.

hmm I am not convinced it would work.

Lemmy had a slur filter in the early days, that blocked certain words from being able to be posted, and a lot of people hated that. Dunno why, but well.

It should be up to the server admins whether they want to implement an automod system if they choose to do so.

It is. Server admins can do whatever they want.

What do you propose? There were a couple of people here constantly making accounts called hitler_was_awesome and they were posting gore.

There’s something broken with that community or lemmy.ml, I can’t find it on feddit.de either. Sorry for confusing you with my “help”…

forever, since there will always be new servers :)

oh the one on beehaw already exists! It’s called !greenspace@beehaw.org

That on the other hand is very true. It’s a little bit weird to download porn imo ^^

No you’re right, this will probably happen here one day too. Big instance will have problems with moderation I fear.

omg it’s the famous @ToastyWaffles@lemmy.ml !!

I think they’ll open one on beehaw tomorrow! !gardening@lemmy.ml and !gardening@mander.xyz already exist!

oh sorry I meant right-wingers don’t like it. I meant to be funny, but apparently failed…

such a weird exclusion. Why?? Must be americans.

Some people are really annoying about it or don’t see other good stuff, but the open-source movement is a serious force for freedom imo.

you can always search for !tf2@lemmy.ml and your server (lemmy.one) in this case will look up if there is a community with that name on a server with that name.

not everybody likes this ;)

There is only one lemmy.ml website. Just like on e-mail, if you deleted an account on lemmy.ml website, that one will be gone. Maybe that’s what you did? You also have an account on lemmy.one I see. Why not use that one now? It’s basically the same anyways, you can join all the communities anyways.

Manjaro

Nothing. This server existed, it was called wolfballs.com. lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, feddit.de and many others had this server blocked. So nothing was showing up from them.
