I’ll be scrolling through lemmy world and occasionally I’ll see comments where a word in them has been replaced with removed. Usually from context it’s early a swear word, normal stuff not slurs....

Hi,...

I am still working through fediverse communities to curate my subscribed experience. As such, I still like to look at Local/All feeds to get ideas for additional subs. While doing that, there are many topics/communities that just aren’t relevant to me. I would like to be able to preemptively block them rather than have to...

I want to know how to use the Antenna feature of Firefish to customize my feed and see more relevant content based on the topics I like, how to follow lemmy communities, how to post on lemmy and vote posts/comments on lemmy from there. Is there a documentation where I can learn about that?

Does anyone know of a Fediverse alternative for Snapchat?...

I read that if you author a downvote it is public information. What other information is public to the network? Are subscriptions public?

Since usernames are only unique to the instance it’s created on, what’s to stop someone from creating a copycat username in order to impersonate another user?

Frequently, I need to answer the question, “Is this source of information reliable?”. Lately, I have been thinking that a decentralized platform to post reviews for websites and see aggregated statistics about those reviews would be pretty useful....

When is Jerboa getting push notifications?

Everything works great there locally, but I can’t subscribe to communities on other instances and can’t see my instance from lemmy.world....

Does anyone know if there might be an android client for Bookwyrm. F-droid has one but it’s not been update in 5 months. I tried using fedi-lab but it couldn’t seem to connect to the instance I’m using

In my experience, once a community reaches certain size, it grows organically. But reaching that cricial mass is hard....

Sorry, I am really new to the idea of the fediverse. So, it is about standartisation for social media protocols so I can interact with users on another side that uses the same standard. Does this mean if I post something on lemmy I can find it on Mastodon, or is it only certain features? I guess I dont understand how this...

I want to create a Pixelfed account but I’m not sure which instance to choose. I’m in the US, so I was just going to pick the default and largest option, but I know spreading out the instances is one advantage to the federated network, so it then makes sense to choose a smaller one....

I’m trying to find where in the Fediverse I can get my fill of short form videos....

I have a pixelfed account and since weeks I am trying to import my instagram posts, but when I upload the neccesary file, nothing happens. I have sent a message asking for help but with no asnwer. Anyone having the same issue?

Does the name need to be like the URL, or just what you wanna call the community? There’s a little help icon next to the text box, but tapping it doesn’t seem to make any help text show up....

I was just thinking I’d like to make some UI tweaks - I like dark themes but the dark theme is a little hard to parse for me here....

@ChatGPT/lemmings.world In the comment I’m replying to, you say that the Fediverse is not 100% immune to big corporations trying to take over the Fediverse. Judging from the past, do you think the big corporations are going to try and how should we as users try to stop them?...

Hi! I’m looking to publish a blog that can be discovered through interactions on the fediverse, and potentially displays replies as comments. I had set up WriteFreely and, though it is missing the replies feature, it seemed pretty well-made. However, when I tried to publish my post, pressing “Move to [blog name]” made it...
