Caught myself copying my comment to the clipboard before hitting 'reply' and realized this really is the early days!
I should go see if it actually posted.
Some good-faith questions of some seemingly apparent benefits of a potential Corporate Fediverse, and the detriments of defederating from a Corporate Fediverse. Could I get some answers?
Hey guys. I admittedly am mostly a layman to the Fediverse as a concept. So I am coming into this post with the knowledge that I don’t understand the technical intricacies of it....
Good dumb TV for my living room media center?
Just had my old dumb LG TV die after 9 years of working just dandy. I lack the desire to root around for a dead capacitor so I am currently in the market for an approximate replacement to act as the display for my Linux media center in my living room. I figure this is the right crowd for finding a non-invasive TV so my Linux...
What did the super-mods, that modded the top 50+ default subs, do during the r/pocalypse?
I just never heard anything about it but heard so much from other, assumedly less powerful mods. I can’t remember the one’s name that was well known either…

What does it mean when the user has @ in front of the name
I know that users from different instances can have @instance after the user name, but what does it mean when the username is @username ?
How to make it such that, when running `command`, it automatically does `SOME_ENV_VAR=value command`? (something cleaner than aliases?)
hello friends,...
How is WearOS doing in 2023?
I’m thinking about making a return from Garmin in the near future with Samsung announcing the Galaxy Watch 6 making a return with the ever-so-popular rotating bezel, and Google is now focused on their own Pixel Watch. For people who are currently using a WearOS device, what are your thoughts on the current state of the...
Is there a way to add notes to other people's accounts?
I’m asking for private notes, that only you as a user can see....
A Move to a More Ethical Phone (Later)
So my roommate has informed me that Android and Motorola donate to Republicans more than Democrats whereas Apple does not, claiming this as a reason that the iPhone is better than an Android phone. While I could find statistics confirming the fact about Motorola, I don’t even know what they were referring to when they...

Kids and teenagers are in a unique generation
It’s common knowledge that parents have experienced childhood at one point. Therefore, teenagers don’t really say “you don’t know what it’s like”. (At least, I haven’t heard it yet). But in this generation, parents haven’t had the struggle of many things that kids are faced with today....
Why are there beans everywhere on Lemmy right now?
I don’t get it and I see weird bean posts all over.
about half my clicks on Jerboa or Connect end with errors?
As title says....
Assuming I was, or was related to, a stingy restaurant owner (I am not). What would be the most optimal way of skimping people on fries?
Lets say a 7.5 oz container of any size. What would be the best fry to appear to give people a lot of fry but actually giving them the least? Are there any container shapes that can help optimize this skimping?
Is Lemmy searchable from search engines such as Google?
Part of the utility of Reddit to me was the ability to append “Reddit” to searches and be served relevant threads to my search query since Reddit was one of the last places to get information from real people. This has proven to be invaluable in troubleshooting. Is this possible with Lemmy or the greater Fediverse? As we...
CDMA Device Options?
I’m looking for an upgrade on my CDMA carrier in the US and it really seems like my only options are Samsung, Pixle, Motorola, or IOS....
Proton compatibility
Good morning lemmites, I just installed nobara on my aging gaming laptop, hoping to get a few more years out of it and potentially hook it up as a capture device for my desktop. Most of the process has been seamless but there are a few outliers. First being that I had an issue getting the version of Steam working off of the...
Now that Red Hat is being IBM-fied, should I leave Fedora Kinoite?
I left Ubuntu when they sent all my dock search history to Amazon. But this time is different, should I leave Fedora considering how much it is developed by Red Hat?...
Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?
He would be the perfect person to AMA as he’s already associated with Reddit revolts, and it would result in tremendous media coverage and mark fediverse as a viable alternative to Reddit. What do you think?
I personally dont but why do you think ppl care so much about being downvoted on internet chat forums?
Still learning the rules of this room by the way so bear with me
One Small step, a giant leap for Fediverse but...
Day 2 here, and I can see the growth already. Personally I really like the notion of how its gonna shape up in the future but at the same time I really feel for the average user as of now its too complex to understand the working and how the cross servers thing is working. I mean yes still early days, UI will improve further...
a megathread for developments on Reddit and with third-party Reddit apps
just so this doesn’t overwhelm our front page too much, i think now’s a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let’s try to keep what’s happening in this thread instead of across 10....
Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion?
I’ve dabbled with Linux over the years, first with Ubuntu in the early 2010s, then Elementary OS when that dropped, and a few years ago I really enjoyed how customizable the gui was with Xubuntu. I was able to make it look just like WIndows 2000 which was really cool....
