ELI5: Why are Lemmy users freaking out over threads?
Title
Getting back into things and wondering how you all self host your stuff?
Hi everyone, first time posting since the Reddit went nuclear on sanity. With the advent of Lemmy, I finally got around to booting my home-server back up and stood up my own instance :)...

Why learn to hack wireless signals in a homelab?

How do I properly promote a community?
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.

How many people here have actually used XMPP?
With all the current discussion about the threat that Instagram Threads has on the Fediverse and that article about how Google Embrace Extend Extinguished XMPP, I was left very confused, since that was the first time I’ve heard that Gchat supported XMPP or what XMPP actually is, and I’ve had my personal Gmail since beta (no,...
Could we build a Pokémon trading community on Lemmy? An alternative to /r/pokemontrades and /r/svexchange
I started using Reddit back in 2013 because of Pokémon. During the 6th gen, trading through the subs using spreadsheets and finding people to hatch shiny eggs for you was a huge thing and the community still exists, but completely dependent on the platform (there’s a feedback app called FlairHQ that you need a reddit account...

Inviting & guiding others to the fediverse
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...
Questions on the openness of Meta’s Threads
They seems to really embrace open social media. I have a couple of questions to see what their true intension is. It is assumed that they would federate with fediverse soon (plenty of reports of that already)...

About the "darkspace" Theme
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....
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?

Communities & posts not viewable from some instances
I registered with some smaller instances in case of server issues and defederation (beehaw) with lemmyworld. I noticed a community [email protected] that I follow from Lemmy.world is not viewable at all on lemm.ee or midwest.social for some reason. It does not come up in search and if I manually go to it’s empty. If I go to my...
