Hi, I’m relatively new here. Like probably a lot of people, I appended the word “reddit” to most of my searches to get discussions around my interests/news or to find “curated” things. I noticed that it does not work as great with “Lemmy” for example, as the user base is more spread out and smaller in general....

Hey so i know this is a weird question but… does anyone has the same issue of “vanishing comments”? every few times i write a comment, it sends the comment… and boom its gone like it never existed. it doesn’t gives me any error message, its just gone forever....

Liftoff keeps refusing to show me my feed and it keeps saying that I’m logged out....

There are two ways to discover new communities:...

Discussion topic for you all, I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on this!...

I’ve seen a few posts today mulling over possible solutions to some of the issues caused by Lemmy’s explosive growth in the past few weeks. I’d like to walk through the situation as I see it, point out a few differences I’ve noticed in the federated model vs. what users of other social media may be used to, and offer a...

This server isn't the only one I'm running in the Fediverse :-) I'm currently running these:...

So I know that there are some limitations for federation, especially if you are on a smaller instance. On Mastodon I stumble upon this problem on a daily basis. Here is an example. My account is on a smaller local instance (social.cologne) and in the following picture is a post of Eugen Rochko (which I follow):...

Does anyone know of any instances on Lemmy or Mastadon that focus only on positive news?...

Hi,...

Creatives of whichever fields, whether writers, artists, musicians, meme-makers, developers, film makers, and the like and/or communities, I’m curious to know about some of the people around the fediverse creating some original stuff....

I do not know whether anybody else has already said this, but Lemmy could really use a feature that would allow individual users to block instances. I think it could have spared some of the defederation word wars that have been going on lately, since that would be an individual choice rather than a collective one....

Hi, looking to move away from lemmy.world. not that my experience is not going well, it’s just that in the last 2 months I’ve come to find what I want to see in the instance I’m part of. I simply want to check before making my choice information on defederation. I haven’t pirated anything in the last few years, but...

In the Fediverse, what is the solution to instances or servers going missing?...

I’m a Patreon now! Lemmy has become my daily goto (yes, ex reddit) and you guys deserve all the support you can get!...

I don’t even know how to begin to figure this out. How many communities are there across every instance (or even just among those that are federated at all)?

As a new user to all these sites, I’m confused about they interact with each other. For example, on Lemmy, I can view a Mastodon account, but I can’t view that account’s posts. This makes sense, as sorting your home feed by “all” could hypothetically result in your feed getting flooded by popular Mastodon posts....

My other instance has been down for two days and I’m not sure where to go to see updates/discussion etc....
