I joined mastodon.xyz a few years ago and never had any problems. Then today I tried to sign on and couldn’t. The server simply isn’t reachable. I can (and have) created a new instanceuaccount on a new server, but losing all my data has me concerned. What should I do with my new account so I don’t lose everything if this...
So, I recently came across a post on lemmy.world (my current instance) where every comment showed up as “removed by mod”. I was curious to see what happened, so I opened the Modlog, filtered by “Removing Comments” and cycled through all the mods of that community (not sure if there’s a better way), but found absolutely...
What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?
I have some idea on whose torrents to avoid but still if you have a good list please share.
Aether is a reddit alternative not dissimilar to Lemmy in that it is distributed and open source....
I migrated from Reddit and I created a few community (based on niche subs) that aren’t yet on Lemmy. What is the proper way to let people know they exist? I don’t intend to spam like people do sometimes on Reddit.
The oldest game I still really enjoy is probably The Secret of Monkey Island for DOS (1990). I like classic NES games too but I don't really play them anymore....

When you step outside the fediverse and try to talk to others about it on corporate platforms, chances are you’ll either get, “Yeah that’s too complicated” or “Isn’t it full of [insert bad people here]?” or some variation thereof, at least if they’ve heard of it at all. A lot of this comes down to communication...

Is the darkspace theme something that comes packaged with Lemmy or something the server admins are throwing together? I love where it’s going but its in need of some love… there’s nothing to make the posts readable against the background....
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....
I just wanted to share my thoughts with you. I will appreciate hearing what you think....
So I’m really starting to consider starting a few small communities just to help grow the communities. I have never moderated anything and I am just curious on what to expect. Things such as tools to use or things to look out for?
I don’t understand what Meta will gain from participating in the fediverse? Their ultimate goal is to make money of Threads and I just don’t see how encouraging an open federation will help them do it? Even 3Eing the fediverse will not do them much good as they already have sooo much traffic already that killing the...
I still have my reddit account to look up local news. Over my time on reddit I joined several chat groups and over the past week I’ve noticed that people are being mass added to these groups. Even ones that have been dead for years suddenly have people posting and commenting on them. It’s very obvious that this is been done...

Now on top of my workload, which is already insane, I’m expected to set and meet personal goals by some arbitrary deadline? This shit is so condescending. I’m an adult, being paid to exchange my time and work for a salary. I don’t need to be treated like a child and made to complete these homework assignments to prove my...
I’m looking for some recommendations for things to listen to or casually watch to stay ‘in the loop’ on the standout games of the year, hear discussion of good games in general, feed my video game fan soul but not just about the newest latest thing....
I am actually looking forward to threads taking off. I, as a mastodon user, will be able to follow my friends, celebrities, artists and interact with them when federation is activated. It is hard to get friends on to mastodon. The software is great and is better than Twitter, but the people are not on Mastodon but on Twitter,...
