My wife found out Saturday through an ancestry.com DNA test that her dad is not her actual biological father. Her mother had a supposed one time incident with a man she found on Facebook through the names on the ancestry test. Her parents separated when she was 6. She wasn’t close with her dad over the years, but there was...
My instance has downvoting enabled, but I’ve learned that some other instances do not. Do the vote totals look different to users on different instances? It seems like some users on instances that don’t allow downvoting are unaware that it’s not the same lemmy-wide. It would be pretty confusing for them to see their vote...
Mostly the title, but it would be nice to have more options now that Reddit and Twitter have alternatives. I would love to see a YouTube and ticktock version. Maybe even an instagram as well.
It feels like more Lemmy apps are going to make their way on to the app stores. With more apps, comes more people. More people, more API calls. How do we scale this server and hopefully all of the others to come, financially?...

Not sure if I understand this, but I think the way the lemmy federation works is:...
AFAIK they aren’t there yet right? Should the developers of lemmy do it or should it be up to the instances to decide whether to do it or how to implement them?
I thought the point of a fediverse was distribution making it so that no one site becomes death star sized. If one site has ALL the biggest communities… What happens if that site goes down? Shouldn’t each site that wants one have a “Tech” community, and then those get aggregated into Tech? Wouldn’t that be a better...
After all the BS from /u/spez?
Ok something non-Lemmy, non-Reddit related for a change....
Refer to title.
I subconsciously felt that this “lemmy.world” instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.
When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to “!nostupidquestions”...
Currently I’m with lemmy.world, but if i wanted to create my own, to run at my house, would I need to register a domain? I like the idea of having my own domain but also don’t know how the storage works… like if I post to my own, sure it gets stored, but if I post to somewhere on lemmy.world, where does it get stored?
Most European languages seems to share a very large amount of their respective alphabets. The pronunciation may be different but the symbol is the same....
Is it really just because of the fentanyl situation? I know there is a huge disagreement with how the strict rules for prescribing opioids are so tight even for chronic pain patients like myself who can’t participate in life without em struggle to find a provider who is willing to prescribe us them.
Say I found a person that I want to fallow on Lemmy, is it possible to be able to see any post they make show up in my subscribed thread?
It’s one of my favorite features from Reddit. Especially the wiki (assuming it’s updated) is useful to quickly get an overview of things to refer to. Also love seeing the unique community themes on subreddits like on old.reddit.com

I’m not sure on the ins and outs of hosting/running a 3rd part reddit app, but since reddit is claiming these API charges are only for apps that pull in big numbers, couldn’t the app creators just make a bunch of versions of the app with a limit to how many users can access it?...
hope i did this right. reddit refugee so im learning. my question is “does anyone one know of any dice communities here?”
For the years that I was on Reddit and now on Lemmy, I have seen these terms used a lot, but honestly, I’ve never actually knew what it meant. (I’m sorry if this is a really stupid question.)
Does anybody knows how long it takes to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance with an account? It would give me the green wheel and I don’t know if I have to wait “x” amount of time or it’s just not possible at this time.
