Hey all!...
Lemmy instance with 2 alternative frontends.
The 2 frontends are...
Can anyone point me to active communities on here that are centered around learning programming?
Self hosting a Lemmy instance for just myself?
Heya, I’m trying out Lemmy and kinda like the idea of hosting a Lemmy instance just for me....
feeling OK?

Resurrecting High Weirdness on the Web? (StumbleUpon clones?)
I asked a related question here - the one about Boing Boing, Disinfo.com, Dangerous Minds: lemmy.world/post/1001839...
[question] what are good alternatives to jellyfin?
I have a vps where I host a few things and I tried adding jellyfin. It worked and while scanning media railed the CPU/ram, once it was done everything was smooth. However, despite having all dependencies a bunch of videos didn’t play. I also don’t need the music and ebooks side of jellyfin as I’ll be using other things for...
Working my way through the commentary. Should have it finished before the new episodes. Well worth the listen.
Should I bother learning Podman?
I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.
As we witness the recent mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy - Whoever named this Platform after Lemmings, must have had a freaking good foresight.
Do you consider the term "rice" or "ricer" to be racist?
The Wikipedia definition seems to indicate it has origins as a racist term and I’ve never understood why unix users have adopted this terms instead of something benign like “themes” or “theming” which I remember being in use long before I ever heard “rice”. So what gives? Why use “rice” instead of “theme”?
c/protest: A place for Lemmy users to organize protests and boycotts
My vision for this community is a space where people can encourage others to vote with their dollar and with their feet by educating them on the fucked up shit that people and companies are doing. When the community reaches 500 members, mods will also select one “cause” at a time for the community to support....
What are your favorite "ugly" games?
I enjoy Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup played in the terminal with ASCII graphics. I wonder whether there are other hidden gems out there which don’t get attention because they are “ugly”?
What is the fediverse equivalent to TikTok?
Obviously Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. are federated decentralized equivalent to their centralized counterparts, but what is the counterpart in the fediverse to TikTok? It is a dominant app for millions of people, and as far as I can tell the closest thing is Peertube, but isn’t that more of a YouTube equivalent? Does it...
Have you noticed how movies are getting longer?
Movies have been getting longer for a few years or so but they are especially long this year. Look at the biggest films this year and see how they are about 20-30min longer than they would be in the past....
Working parents, how do you find time to game?
I grew up an avid gamer. But now, among my 50-hour work week, helping my kids with their math homework, grocery shopping, and house chores, I’m no longer able to find enough free time to really dive into a game. I mostly play casual games that I can drop in and out of but forget about the 40hr+ games requiring commitment....
First-time self-hoster here. OS and DNS Questions
Hey /c/selfhosted! Reddit refugee here with a couple questions on things I’m a bit uncertain about. I’ll try to keep it brief, but I can clarify anything that needs clarified....
I would just like to say that there should be a South Park Lemmy server named lemmy.winks (or lemmi.winks)
That is all.
Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?
I guess it’s self explanatory but I keep seeing all this stuff about how everyone is moving from Reddit to lemmy and I’m wondering if anyone knows if that’s really what’s happening. If you have numbers that’s even better....
We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days.
What Are Your Favorite SBCs (Single Board Computers), Why, and How Did You Get Into Them?
Like most people, I entered COVID as a normal hobby geek with a Linux server I played around with and a healthy hardware habit with a side of home automation and DD-WRT. I emerged from COVID enrolled in college, now with two servers (one new build, one rebuilt from my first one), two Pi, multiple instances of Home Assistant (one...
What would happen if I were driving on 5th gear at 120 km/h and then switched to first gear?
I imagine it would destroy the engine and the transmission, but it’s just a guess.
What's the best debian/ubuntu based distro featuring KDE?
I’ve been using linux for some time now, i would still say i’m quite a noob but i’ve tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i’ve tried cinnamon before and couldn’t really see myself...
