I saw a comment about a week ago that said the displayed number of subscribers/upvotes displayed is the count for people on your instance. Essentially meaning that if an instance displays that it has 15 subscribers it actually only means there’s 15 subscribers from my personal instance (vlemmy.net in my case) and not overall...
I’ve been browsing LowEndBox and found a good deal with vpshostingservice.co. The problem is that I’ve never heard of them before so I’m wondering if the deal is too good to be true.
WELCOME!...

I’m looking for recommendations for app based/nice mobile friendly sites (free ideally, but I’d consider subscription) that can help me keep across news in the tech/UX/design space....
For those who don’t know, a.gup.pe is an independent service that brings group behaviour (somewhat like communities here) to mastodon. It’s kinda nice and quite a few use it on mastodon....
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.
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...
sudo dnf --assumeyes distro-sync && flatpak update --assumeyes && flatpak uninstall --unused --assumeyes && pipx upgrade-all && rustup update && cargo install-update -a && flutter upgrade && gup update
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...
TL:DR at the bottom for the impatient....
I’ve created and account in programming.dev. When I search for a community, sometimes I don’t find in when I search in programming.dev but I find it in lemmy.world
So I went to reddit.com desktop site on my android phone and there was a ‘community’ with my r/user name listed?!? I am not logged in nor have I been able to since RIF said goodbye. Anyone see this too?
The ozempic has stopped working and I’m creeping back up. May as well be comfortable while I argue with my insurance company.
I was wonder if anyone else is experiencing poor performance on Diablo 4 similar to mine. I’m new to Linux gaming, so pardon my ignorance....
Hi! I recently installed tomb Raider GOTY edition from epic on my PC running arch, through heroic launcher. Tried different ge-proton, proton and wine setups but the game doesn’t even launch. I’ve tried launching it through heroic, added it to steam and launched from there with same outcome. I didn’t even get an error nag....
As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR compliant? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?...
I’ve been listening to this NPR (public radio) show, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, for probably 20 years. It’s a comedy news quiz, and they have listeners call in to participate. I’ve wanted to call in since I was a kid (I’m 31 yo now), but I’ve got some fun anxiety around talking to people if I don’t know what to...
I’m a beginner, and I am looking to self host mostly everything....
Just had a shower thought....
I joined the fediverse like 2 weeks ago. I’m trying to find the answers to all my doubts reading discussions around, watching videos etc, but there are still some questions I’m looking an answer for. Here they are:...
I should add that this isn’t the first time this has happened, but it is the first time since I reduced the allocation of RAM for PostgreSQL in the configuration file. I swore that that was the problem, but I guess not. It’s been almost a full week without any usage spikes or service interruptions of this kind, but all of a...
Hi, !android community! It’s been exciting seeing the Lemmy apps ecosystem continue to evolve, with all sorts of options emerging. Whether you’re a seasoned resident of the Fediverse or a newcomer, we’d love to hear about your experiences and expectations for the future....
