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.
I’m just trying to understand. Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Orban in Hungary etc… Why do these leaders still get so much support after all they’ve done? What do they exactly like about them?...
The sheer number of videos taken “the wrong way round” (for my computer’s monitor) is mind-boggling. I get that some people watch videos on their phones, but is it really that many?
Title. I'm wondering what's everyone's take on this. On the one hand it'd mean seeing multiples of one post if you're subscribed to equivalent communities between communities. On the other hand, right now I think a big worry is this momentum we have dying out due to lack of content....
Kbin is the first Reddit alternative I looked at and i liked the UI so I stuck with it. I kind of assumed everything would be kbin. I thought I understood things. I thought it was kbin and lemmy separate but they federated and so I’d be able to access lemmy stuff from kbin. Which I guess is true. But now I’m confused. I look...
Around 2017-2018, there used to be a huge circlejerk online about how Fortnite was the dumbest thing ever, to the point where "Fortnite bad, Minecraft good" was part of the infamous Keanu Chungus 100 meme. Why did it get so much hate, and why did it stop?
What are your thoughts on antiwhite racism? Is it justified in your opinion? And do you believe that racism can go in all directions? It’s a controversial topic amongst many people and deserves to be talked about openly and honesty.
So my understanding is that a community created on a certain server (say lemmy.world), can be interacted with by any other federated server, and any interactions from those servers are synced to the original “true” community / server. How does it work if two servers both have a community with the same name? Each server is...
Now that I (I think) understand federation I was going to unblock the beehaw communities since I should still be able to vote and comment on them but I can’t find them now.
Bad title but previously on subscriptions or home, there would be 4 (or maybe 5?) videos per row. Now it’s 3 and the thumbnails are bigger. It’s very annoying cause I have to scroll more and I don’t see the need to have the thumbnails be so large....
Seriously, on a daily basis I’ll either bump my head or various other body parts, drop stuff and then drop it again, stumble over something and combinations of all of that....
Recently when following a link to Wikipedia, there in the text my reading was interrupted by a word that just looks ugly: “possesses”. I find it a massively disturbing eyesore. Can I complain somewhere for that word to be changed?
