Thanks!
This is corny, but thanks for being awesome! It feels so nice to see this community grow out of a shared vision of what the internet should be....
Would you buy a new battery for a very old laptop?
I just got a pretty good deal on an old ThinkPad (think 10 years old now) to use as a beater for screwing with ArchLinux and hopefully to find a real use for. It’s in great shape like it was never really used, but big shock, the battery is at 50% effective capacity and what’s there disappears in less than an hour....
Can I use two separate accounts on two instances on the same browser?
Is it okay to set up two accounts for two instances on the same web browser? When I go to visit the first instance, i can see that account is logged in for that instance. So, that works. Then I direct myself to the another instance’s community/post, I can see the 2nd account is logged in for that instance. Would it make sense...
[Feature Request] A Package Manger... for Communities
After a week on Lemmy/kbin it strikes me that one of the major oncoming problems that the Fediverse has is the fragmentation of communities across multiple instances that were formerly centralized in reddit. While this fragmentation into instances has significant upsides, it shifts responsibility for finding and subscribing to...
What are you reading currently?
I’m rereading Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children because I learned there are 3 new books (well, new for me) that I’m planning to read next.
What's the best way to view Lemmy on a Windows PC?
Hey guys! I usually check Lemmy on my Mac with the iOS apps, or my phone with Memmy, but I was wondering what the best way to view the site on Windows is?...
[RANT] Why do I need an app to set up a switch?
Working on a medium sized office network which only has a single PoE switch for WAPs. About 200 users. No copper to the desk… It made sense to buy a second PoE switch to give a bit of redundancy, even if it’s for manually swapping cables in case switch A dies....
What banned subs on Reddit would you like to see a community for on Lemmy?
Hello guys,...

Is there any way to get these going relatively painlessly?...
How do I make a community?
I keep trying to make one. But when I finish writing the name and details I try hitting create and nothing happens, no comment that i did anything wrong either (im ont the mobile site btw)...
Reddit refugee, what are the Lemmy "jolly rancher" legends?
Reddit had famous stories. What are the Lemmy stories everyone should know?
Moving away from RHEL based distros, whats good ?
Hi, mostly i use REHL based distros like Centos/Rocky/Oracle for the solutions i develop but it seems its time to leave…...
Imagine Lemmy becoming so popular it drives Reddit to support ActivityPub or go extinct
Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it’s own “instance”, and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again....
Any other plural folk about?
Cat: so, for context, we’re a plural system; a group of multiple people living in the same brain. We’re wondering if there’s any other systems on Lemmy at the moment. Also could be considered an AMA for those interested....
Is a VPN necessary for torrenting?
I don’t live in the US, so my ISP doesn’t really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren’t cheap and I’m on a strict budget (wouldn’t pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?

I’m out of the loop.
Cannot Leave Reddit Because Of Snoovatars
Reddit is unlike other platforms: Snoovatars. While old.reddit.com users can easily leave Reddit, people like me who use new.reddit.com enjoy seeing Snoovatars and how adorable they look. Many other sites have ugly profiles and bland formatting, but what makes Reddit great is the playfulness of the avatars because you feel like...
The amount of Russophobia and anti Russian censorship ongoing currently on Reddit is astounding.
I am observing a very similar sentiment to Sinophobia, now regarding Russia. Reddit’s audience is primarily 80% USA + West EU, and the rest 20% also includes a lot of East Europe and other countries, leaving for 5-10% anti-hatred people. On the other hand, Western world makes up for a mere 12% of the world’s population....

How Wayland handles security considerations vs MacOS Quartz or Windows DWM?
As I understand it, X11 has many inherent security concerns, including programs being able to read the contents of other windows and intercept keystrokes. Wayland addresses these concerns but at the moment breaks certain functions like screen readers, cursor warping, and the ability of a program to resize its own window....
Is my punctuation correct?
I couldn’t find a “grammar help” community so I thought this might be a good place to pose this question. Sorry for asking something that boils down to “please help me with my homework” but I’m at a loss. I’m supposed to be using MLA format....
