Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?
What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?
ok, this is the reddit replacement?
First shitpost to make it truly like reddit. Can I downvote myself?
Remember to test your cable tester

Does it seem like we’re mixing two concepts, having servers for users and content?
It feels like they’re two different roles. It might be better to have user-orientated servers that prioritise federation of content and only have a couple of meta-style communities, and other servers which prioritise being the go-to place for discussion on a particular topic and less a place that manages a large number of user...
I'm new to this fediverse stuff and I'm loving this concept. Now I want to try pixelfed. can someone recommend me an instance for me?
I’d like to login on an instance that doesn’t block other instances and I get to decide what and what not I want to see
How/when do apps track your data?
" oh sweet summer child " you might be thinking, and yeah. I got no clue....
(Controversial) Should lemmy.world close registrations at a certain user count?
To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had...
Blocking communities
With the many Reddit style shitposts appearing, I’m wondering if there’s a way for users to block certain communities or servers. Sync for Reddit made doing this easy -blocking the noise was the only reason I could use Reddit....
The real reason the war for independence began.
Its 1975 and in that London a new conspiracy arises to shake the corridors of power

Other than The Valerian, is there any other content set in the universe of The Fifth Element?
The world is so detailed, I just want to know about it. Like… What’s the alien Zorg has as a pet and things like that. Are the movies really just kind of self-contained, or are they inspired/based on something? Are there maybe books set in the world?
Pinned Comments
Absolutely love the work done so far by the mods, it’s a thankless tasks, but you’re all doing excellent. Only comment I have is there are too many pinned threads at the moment (at least on the LiftOff app), it takes a while to scroll past them. Not sure if anybody else is having this?
Is there any way to see what communities someone is subscribed to?
Pretty sure the answer is no, just double checking before subbing to some, uh, weirder interests.

Lemmy Instances
In praise of the short narrative video game...
I used to love getting lost in virtual worlds. My favorite games were the ones that I could explore for hours: New Vegas, Skyrim, Hollow Knight, Breath of the Wild, Outer Wilds, Outer Worlds, KOTOR, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, (okay you get the idea). A game felt like a bargain if my attention span was the only the only thing...
What’s the difference between all those instances?
We have Lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, I think even yiffit.net. If I log in using wefwef it asks me where I want to login. And when I make a new account using another instance, it says ”… Lemmy is federated, so you can interact with everything on lemmy.ml even if you’re registered on a different instance.“ So if...

How will Lemmy handle illegal content?
How will Lemmy handle illegal content like drug dealing, child porn, snuff movies etc? On Reddit, the corporation is accountable so they will make an effort to ensure non of this exists on their platform. And they would face legal troubles if they failed to act....

Great audiobook narrations?
After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can’t focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I’m thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else....
YSK: Even though it isn't a foolproof criterion, the fact that a claimed "news" source is offered "completely free (as in free beer)" may suggest that it is poor quality
Why YSK: good journalism has a lot of costs (and not one-time-only), in time if not in money, so if any “news” source isn’t at least trying to get paid somehow*, then it indicates that the supply at zero price exceeds the demand (it is a “free good”), which means one of two things:...
