ELI5 Reddit to Lemmy
What is an instance? what is a federation? what is a server? can someone please describe in simple terms how this all runs and how we as users navigate it?
There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.
Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.
What is an instance? what is a federation? what is a server? can someone please describe in simple terms how this all runs and how we as users navigate it?
Since it seems to be a common question for many new users.
I saw a while back that facebook is opening a twitter competitor which will use the ActivityPub protocol, and thus will be able to federate with other fediverse instances, I also saw they invited some fediverse instance admins for an “off the records” meeting in their HQ....
First post. Majorly a lurker on reddit, and now that I’ve switched to Lemmy, most likely will continue to stay a lurker....
I have some good PDF ebooks I’m willing to share, but I suspect the seller embeds some tracking data in them to link them to my account, as every time I download them from the official website they have a different hash while being visually identical. The same when checking against the copies a friend bought from the same...

Long time reddit is fun user and now I feel lost but I feel moving on is the right thing, I was wondering how do I find community spaces like there were on Reddit?

Half shower thought, half stoner thought. It may seem obvious, but I was dwelling on the point for a while, deeper and deeper....

Like how RES + old reddit had shift + x to toggle all photos being opened.
Hello, respectfully inviting everyone to the Yaoizone. This community will be an SFW and a more moderated version of a similar community at lemmynsfw.com. If you love yaoi, and want to talk about the boys and men we love, do visit and join at...
I downloaded the first 8 through a torrent, but I think there are 12-13 copies. This isn’t mushoku tensei, so both annas archive and zlib have failed me. I would apreciate if people here could provide more niche websites to search.
Prove me wrong, I dare you!
Instead of categorized instances (where communities are related to each other’s interests) (but I have seen people who don’t like the idea stil it’s ok), I have another idea of an “Admin’s Choice/regional/neighborhood” feed aside from my “subscribed”, “local” and “all”....
I’m assuming if I do that I would lose the s pen features right? I use that a bit...
Is there any hope? Or is it inevitable that big corporations will take over what started as a way to escape big corporate platforms and to focus on real communities and discussions and replace it with a toxic shithole pumped full of ads?
Saw it on TikTok that when a camera and WiFi are active, and then the camera removed, AI can visualise people in the room
Good morning, new users and veterans alike!...
What books/comics/mangas etc. Did you read in June?
I’m thinking about picking some up in the summer sale but have no idea where to start with them. Any suggestions?
This may be more of an “out of the loop” thing, but I’m new to this site and I’m noticing that lemmy.world seems surprisingly bereft of any substantial NSFW content. I’m surprised! Isn’t the adage that porn motivates technological progress?...
just sayin🤷🏽♂️ got any other ideas?
