PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I’m just poking fun at trends I’m seeing emerge.
Fucking Beans.
I am confident that beans will be less cringy than bacon and narwals when we look back on this time.
For the record, most of us prefer the term Neurodivergent.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call it neuro-atypical before
Sorry, yes I couldnt think of the word.
I am neurodivergent and for some reason always want to call it neuroatypical
Ha! Last night when I wanted to look at some NSFW content I was thinking to myself. Man, I wish we had multi-reddits.
You pretty much need a separate account for NSFW stuff because the major instances seem to be defederating with the ones that have porn.
If you’re using Jerboa, you add multiple accounts to it and switch between them in the hamburger menu.
What exactly is a multi Reddit? Used to use Reddit before this and have never used one to my knowledge
I remember when they introduced it, like 8 years ago. And it was some big important feature and everyone loved it.
I never used it.
I think it’s honestly far more useful for Lemmy, where multiple communities may not only have similar themes but have the same name.
Separate subscription lists with its own feed. Like you can have one where you only subscribe to cats subreddits and will not appear in the main feed, but will apear in the cat feed.
The journey is not about the destination. It’s the trends we make along the way.
The beauty of lemmy is that it is open source. Anyone knowing a bit of rust and/or typescript can contribute. I’m sure multilemmies will be implemented sooner rather than later.
Though, although rust is a beloved language, it’s hard to get into. A backend in typescript or python would attract a lot more developers just based on the fact that these are higher level languages. Performance would take too much of a hit though.
‘Use a smaller instance, cause .world is overloaded!’
Also .ml , .ee and .one
My only question is if they’re tankies then why even leave Reddit? That’s like a stoner moving to a state where weeds legal then leaving because there’s too much weed.
Tankies are pro-authoritarian but not pro-corporate.
Lemmy’s creators were part of a community that got banned IIRC (ChapoTrapHouse)
I dont even know what tankies want. Or where they live.
Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.
Nah, Im just not familiar with them. I keep seeing people referring to them, but never saying exactly what their deal is. Even back on reddit.
The name comes from the USSR’s practice of deploying tanks to crush dissent.
I believe the specific moment was when the USSR used tanks to crack down on peaceful protesters in Czechoslovakia; supporters were called tankies.
Because free software aligns with leftist ideals?
Leftists aren’t tankies. Tankies are specifically pro USSR.
A pro authoritarian state. That’s why they are called tankies after all lol.
I think this is a matter of all tankies are leftists but not all leftists are tankies.
I disagree…
The free space in the middle can just be “BEANS”
Where is “Petition to defederate from X because Y?”
Blackout.
“Everyone here is so much nicer than on <insert massively popular mainstream platform here>”
Doing my best to change that :)
Me too :)
Fucker
Have you met Biggus_Dickus yet?
What’s so funny about Biggus_Dickus?
He’s married to Incontinentia_Buttocks.
Ive got a vewwy good frend in wome called Biggus_Dickus.
Obligatory “username checks out”! You’re welcome.
Which honestly became not true pretty much right away - any post about anything remotely controversial or political has just as much toxicity as reddit did imo
Yeah, it’s almost as if it’s people who were the problem all along 😀
I admit I haven’t figured out where all the porn is hiding.
lemmynsfw.com and pornlemmy.com. someone also pointed out booty.world, but it’s currently not working.
lemmynsfw.com, your instance may have defederated with it. Supposedly many are because they don’t want it on their server.
I feel like this is a major oversight to how lemmy works. I feel like instances should be able to maintain overall federation, but ‘disable’ another instance by default, so that it’s virtually invisible unless a user turns it on themselves. NSFW tag is way too broad, it encompasses so much more than porn
The concern is often not preventing their users from seeing the content but preventing their servers from “hosting” to the content for liability reasons.
I asked. They claim they did not and I verified that the show NSFW box is unchecked.
If you’re using an app, instances like pornlemmy.com wont work. They say it’s because theyve made so many changes to the layout. I use Connect for Lemmy, and have been able to circumvent this by making an account on pornlemmy.com and logging in via my app, now I have all my needs satisfied. (Also kind of convenient as now it stays separated from my main feed)
waiting for some legend to respond…
There you go: https://lemmynsfw.com/
…I swear I only know it for hearsay!
- Should we/let’s defederate with X?
I think we should federate with Heinz and their beans
Ugh must we? I’d rather federate with Bush’s beans…
Wait? We haven’t already?
This is amazing
Correction: “Please tell me we are going to”
Second correction: “I speak on behalf of everyone here when I say we absolutely must, please have it done by tomorrow morning thanks.”
Third correction: “If you don’t we’ll hack your ass!”
3AM CET, Monday…
Maybe I’m just older and have been on the internet longer, but it doesn’t feel as much like the “early days” as it does feel like when I first came to Reddit after Digg died (without ever having been a Digg user; it just was a coincidence that I discovered Reddit because of the hubbub).
I’ve been online since 1990 tho. I was literally there for the beginning of the “World Wide Web.” The true Wild West of the internet.
Yeah, more like that early Wild West pioneering feeling of the early days of the internet, this feels more like a bunch of tourists moving from their previous fully equipped hotel because of a shitty management to some new hotel which is still partly under construction and everyone, including the management, are still trying to figure out where everything belongs.
Do you even telnet?
Gopher 🥳
Kermit?
Back before music piracy was a thing; because who’s going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you’d have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.
The days of overclocking your CPU so that your pr0n would load faster TT__TT and we used emojis like that. Those were dark days, but people learned a lot about CPU cooling.
Like how a room cooling fan with the legs removed and leaned on the case with the side panel removed can really help… A LOT!
I remember spending all day downloading files from a Quake server because I happened upon a server running Team Fortress and had to download the mod. On a 28.8k dial-up modem. It was like 500MB or something.
Then of course when I get into the game, it’s on ctf_crosstheborder and was the most confusing thing I had ever encountered.
Right? I am having trouble seeing similarities.
And “How do I block an entire instance”
Please 🙏
Connect and Voyager (formerly wefwef) both support this now.
Ooo wefwef finally renamed itself
Icon contest also underway at [email protected]
I am glad that i realised I could just block the tankies instead of arguing with them
I’ve yet to see a single tankie here, but I think the instance I’m on has defederated from a bunch of instances so that might be why
Nope, not blocked. There’s not actually that many of them, but they were one of the few established communities on Lemmy before the reddit explosion so I think they were disproportionately visible until everyone else started organically out-posting them.
I wish I personally could defederate from an instance while still using an account on a lemmy server. I’ve blocked at least a dozen communities from lemmygrad that showed up on my frontpage.
The app connect for lemmy on android allows for this right now, I believe it blocks posts and comments alike
There is probably also a browser extension, but I haven’t really searched since I’m mostly a mobile user
yeah, but I’m guessing it only blocks from within Connect, right? I can’t go to my web-based lemmy and have those blocked?
Browser extensions would be nice, though. If it were built into lemmy, you’d get it “for free” in every platform you use.
Its within connect, and they would probably be able to see your comments in a neutral instance. It is a temporary solution but I have been really pleased with it by blocking most porn only instances, at least its useful in that regard.
There was an issue on github asking for this but I dont know its status
Hi 👋 Nice to meet you. Welcome to Lemmy
Lol 🤣
Funny, my first post was “The beauty of the Fediverse”
Also, asking Lemmy support questions in asklemmy
Posting that article on “how to destroy a decentralized network” in the comments, over and over
Well as long as there’s still people who think that federating with Threads wouldn’t be disastrous, people are going to have to post things that explains why it would and presumably that specific one is a good one 🤷
Those of us who don’t think it would be disastrous have read the article.
which article?
Reading isn’t always understanding, I guess 🤷
Disagreement isn’t misunderstanding.
True, but not being worried at all after reading about it happening several times before in extremely similar situations isn’t disagreement.
It’s misunderstanding or burying your head in the sand at best, doing PR work for the ones about to do it again at worst.
Others haven’t. Better safe than sorry.
