Are any of your friends on the fediverse too? If not, have you tried to get them to join?
I’ve been telling a lot of people about it, but everyone’s a skeptic. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they’re just going to wait to see which Reddit clone comes out on top before switching. Most of them haven’t heard of the other parts of the fediverse like mastodon. I’d like to leave fb/instagram, but like...
What do you think is the best solution to having the same named communities on different instances?
We should implement this as whenever I wish to browse (for example) [email protected] I have to go to there, and whenever I wish to browse [email protected] I have to go there. Would it be possible to implement it in kbin/lemmy's code to make it easier to browse all?
If Meta federates with the Fediverse, do my Mastodon posts (e.g.) show up on FaceBook?
I do not want my posts from anywhere on the Fediverse on FaceBook....
Why isn't there a Harry Potter-themed Lemmy instance yet?
It’s one of the first things I would expect from a site like this. I know that J.K. Rowlings views are very controversial to put it mildly, but:...
Would there be interest and support in potentially building an art focused lemmy instance?

lemmy.ml is getting nothing new from lemmy.world, seem cut off since Saturday EDIT: fixed on Wednesday
I found one post from 12 hours ago that describes the problem: lemmy.ml/post/2650814 - but that’s all I’ve seen. Content is way down on lemmy.ml with nothing coming in from .world...
[Opinion] About Lemmy
Hi guys. This is not going to be a long post and I will briefly explain why I didn’t like Lemmy and going straight back to Reddit....
Origins of the Name "Lemmy"

Does it seem like we’re mixing two concepts, having servers for users and content?
It feels like they’re two different roles. It might be better to have user-orientated servers that prioritise federation of content and only have a couple of meta-style communities, and other servers which prioritise being the go-to place for discussion on a particular topic and less a place that manages a large number of user...
It's been a year since I joined the Fediverse
A year ago today I made my Lemmy account...
The need for a Fedi Union.
tl;dr I propose a Fedi Union consisting of the developers of Phanpy, Pixelfed, Peertube, Lemmy, and PieFed. That will work as a way to fund all of the services collectively (with the option to still go to their individual patreons and fund them seperately) and as a way for them to communicate to help all the services be more...
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....
PSA: Communick is a privacy-focused provider of fediverse instances, pledging to donate 20% of its profits to FOSS projects
With all the talk about expensive clients, how to fund the developers and big instances not managing to keep up with the influx of users, I’d like to tell you about my work on Communick and what I am proposing as an alternative model for a sustainable growth of the Fediverse....
Android Lemmy app list
This includes every Lemmy android app that exists (atleast to my knowledge)...
I like the transition away from prioritizing comments over questions.
On Reddit, my karma was always weighted more on the question side than on the comment side. I felt bad for not being a valuable contributor to people’s lives rather than being selfish and always asking things for myself. Lemmy has gotten rid of that point system so now I feel like I can feel free to ask as many questions as I...
Bots copy pasting Reddit - is there a method to block them all?
I’ve noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?...
Peertube appears to have doubled their MAU
Presumably this is due to recent actions regarding adblockers over at Youtube....
Is better/seemless integration with Mastodon (and perhaps more) possible?
Here’s the thing. I’m a mod for a small-time community for a niche interest, !castles I’m also on Mastodon, and was before my Reddit exodus. I follow #castles as well as a few other related topics on Matsodon, so I get quality toots, such as this: mastodon.scot/, that I wish I could just crosspost over to my community....
Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux
The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint… there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with “which instance?”...
An idea for more content on Lemmy (and the fediverse): Relly (Relay+Lemmy)
So, Lemmy is sometime missing content. I don’t regret switching from Reddit to Lemmy but, expecially for niche communities, the content isn’t always here....
Which iOS app for Lemmy?
I’m using Memmy but trying to read comments in my notifications crashes the app half the time and seems like it’s not getting updates....
Who wants an app for Peertube?
What is alien.top and why do all the users from there show up as bots and have no history?
I’ve been seeing a lot of users from alien.top commenting in various threads (mainly sports) lately. They only caught my attention because they are all flagged as bots and I typically manually block most bots (not all because there are some I like). For every one of them their entire post history consists of 1-2 comments or...
