Should we decide to have a main fediverse community or should we keep posting everything twice?
Hello everyone,...
Lemmy.world announces blocking communities via Discord [update]
This is in regard to Lemmy.world blocking piracy communities from other instances. This post is not about whether you agree with the decision. It’s about how the admins informed their users....
Instance Assistant v1.2.5 released: You can now generate posts for Lemmy/Kbin, search for posts, and redirect posts from foreign instances
Hi everyone, I’m excited to announce one more release before I take a short break. I have some other stuff starting up, so I won’t be pushing out new features as fast, but I’ll still be around to manage the project. (more at the end)...
Deleting lemmy emojis
I tried to add a bunch of emojis, and none of them worked. When I try to click any of them, it says “Undefined” in the post. Since none of my added emojis have ever worked, I would like to delete them all and try adding them with new shortcodes. How do I do this, and what should be the format of a shortcode(as what I was...
Looks like the stories feature for Pixelfed is currently rolling out on the flagship instance

Trying to find a website that shows the threadiverse active user number over a long period of time
unless im missing something, fedidb.org seems to only track this stuff over the course of the past 14 days....
Meta will kill small instances! Please read.
I just read this point in a comment and wanted to bring it to the spotlight....
lemmy.hjson gmail working email configuration block?
Hi. I got a new instance of Lemmy up on my server, but outgoing emails aren’t working with Gmail. I have a paid account with Gmail, and previously have used outgoing mail with other services(like phpbb and Mastodon), and they worked. If you can provide some help, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
What is a feasibility to implement IPFS for lemmys image hosting?
We have a bunch of instances hosting basically the same images multiple times. Using IPFS we could increase the availability of images for users with almost no cost to instances. I have heard rumors that pict-rs can’t be easily scaled up due file system based storage and would need a rewrite....
Would you agree to algorithm-generated timelines if there were sufficient tools to check whether the timeline on an instance work as promised?
I think a big problem behind the reluctance of alternatives to the strictly chronical timeline on Mastodon is that people fear that too much power is taken out of their hands if they are introduced. But the fact is: it is already the case that we put a lot of trust in administrators to put the correct software in place. A...
What will be the top active post on lemmyworld/c/fediverse on 1/9/2033 at 11am GMT (while we are at it we can also already try to answer it)
Pixelfed Users - Thoughts so far?
I’m using the Test Flight beta app, curious on others’ overall experience with the platform so far. I never had an Instagram account so I’m not really sure yet what I even want from it. I’m just excited on all things Fediverse and I’m happy to be part of the growing numbers....
My favorite Mastodon and Lemmy clients:
I was looking for a place to share my two favorite Mastodon and Lemmy clients, they are called Voyager Connect Boost for Lemmy and Moshidon for Mastodon (if you are really serious about privacy I recommend Connect still) (the official Mastodon app works fine though, you just can’t follow new hashtags from it)...
Does anyone know why lemmy.world is not appearing on lemmyverse? [Fixed]
Do you think opensource + Fediverse will develop into some kind of political force/movement in the next years?
I thought about this already for a while and with Lemmy and Mastodon the opensource community has a place to really try itself out and coordinate. Then even things like open-source planning-systems (like at Amazon) and AIs are possible....
Is Mastodon’s strictly chronological news feed based on a wrong assumption?
The assumption is that centrally managed social media is bad because their algorithm is bad. But actually, they are bad because they are centrally managed and force one algorithm onto you. I’m not even advocating algorithm-by-choice. Even instance-specific algorithms would already work and would make the whole experience much...
Is there any way to subscribe to a specific post, and get updates when someone replies?
I hope this is the right community to post in....

linking communities
I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I’m curious about something. I’ve seen there’s a big debate about multiple communities for similar content on different instances, and whether they should coalesce into a single community or remain as multiple communities. I also saw a post about linking sibling...

You can be banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone for calling out transphobia
I recently made a new account on lemmy.blahaj.zone, because I’ve been harassed and doxxed on my old account and I wanted a fresh start with a more lighthearted online identity that I could be more open about my gender identity on. I’d heard blahaj zone was good for trans people, so I made my account there. And yeah,...

Is it possible to add flairs in posts on lemmy?
That was pretty useful option on reddit and Im missing it on lemmy.
