why there is "cult" in "difficult"?
Why is it called Lemmy?
Sorry if someone has already asked this. This is my first post on Lemmy. I mean, I guess you could ask the same question about Reddit but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be Read-It. But what does Lemmy mean? Is it a cute word for a small lemon?
What does purging mean in Modlog?
I saw some moderator actions that included purging something. How is this different from removing and banning things?
"The Great Brain Drain" is complete.
It's over. Feels like losing an old friend. Let's morn the loss of our old community for a few days, remember that best of post and conversations, and more forward. This was our Summer "Eternal September" moment. Make this new home vibrant, share you passions, make closer friends, and keep coming back. Things are weird, so is...

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how to spend your gaming time?
I have a sizable collection of games across retro and current platforms, as well as a Steam Library and a huge itch.io bundle of software. I have opportunities abound for games that I could play. But some days, I get stuck trying to figure out...
French Rule
Is this hindrance for lemmies to post and watch particularly media and embedded videos (I have not yet seen) because of the not enough (storage) capacity of the lemmy instances/servers?
Every time I see a video on other platforms, I may share this on Lemmy. Or every time I get creative to shoot a footage or create a video, I may share too. But, I reached conscientious about the availability and capacity of Lemmy instance(servers) to multimedias and videos, whether uploaded or embedded....
Now that Lemmy is growing an important question needs to be answered: what should we use as our equivalent for "the narwhal bacons at midnight?"
From when it was still cool and niche to be a redditor and you needed to identify each other in public, you could use that sentence....
Building Lemmy docker image for ARM64
Hi all,...
Is Lemmy.ml instance blocked from Lemmy.world? And when will it federate again?
Posting to Lemmy.world from Lemmy.ml results in only Lemmy.ml users being able to see that post, so I think they blocked each other. When do you think they will be federated again?
Why does the infinity app still work with reddit?
I thought all apps were broken on July 1st?
Guide: The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC. With Pictures and everything!
I’m putting this together because I posted a while ago about using IRC to acquire ebooks on Reddit, and there was a metric shit ton of interest from others in learning how to do it. Much of this info is available on the net, but it can be difficult to track down if you don’t know exactly what to look for....
Any recent news on Gaiman's Seven Sisters?
Neil Gaiman announced the Neverwhere sequel back in '17, and the last news I’ve been able to find is it’s delayed as of 2020. Is there any news I’ve missed since then? I’m pretty stoked about going back to that world for more.
[Question] Installing Lemmy instance from docker -> 502 bad gateway
Hi, does anybody have an idea what the reason could be? I installed a lemmy instance on a VPS using the docker images. Beforehand I installed nginx and got a letsencrypt - certificate (which seems to have worked). I downloaded the nginx.conf file from github and made the configurations, also in the lemmy.config and...

Dual boot partitioning
Hello! I recently upgraded my laptop with 500 gb of storage but it’s on another disk from where I have installed linux. How can I expand my linux root partition when linux is installed on another disk and I am also dual booting with windows? I am using linux mint.
Decaf Tips?
So long story short, for legitimate health reasons I can no longer have caffeinated anything. Pretty much anything above a decaf coffee or a chocolate bar is unsafe....

Why Lemmy is racist and will FAIL!
According to the GitHub of Lemmy, the main reason the name Lemmy was chosen was because of Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, the lead singer from MOTÖRHEAD. This is highly problematic and racist because Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister is an avid collector of Nazi paraphernalia. Social justice warriors and woke NPCs will tell you that you...
Slice and Dice seems pretty fun
I just installed the demo, looking like a high chance of buying the full version.

If anyone has a BlueSky invite, feel free to DM me. Elon Musk is making Twitter worse and he is limiting how many tweets people can view.
