A friend of mine who is deep into conspiracies started sending me stuff on this company called Apeel all concerned about … pesticides? I don’t really have the time to watch all the videos and Instagram reels, so what is the issue with this company? Is it a legit concern or a crazy conspiracy? or something inbetween?
I know memory is fairly cheap but e.g. there are millions of new videos on youtube everyday, each probably few hundred MBs to few GBs. It all has to take enormous amount of space. Not to mention backups.
I use an iPhone and my fiancé uses Android. He is not very tech savvy. He does not like to text for privacy reasons. I was going to recommend we get Signal but see others in Lemmy talking about Matrix. Is that better? If so, what app is best that works on both our phones? Thanks Lemmy friends!
I run a pretty locked down Firefox browser and I noticed when browsing lemmy.world that the browser wants to pull stuff from a long list of other instances, which fails because they aren’t trusted. Is this normal? I thought an instance would collect the things you are subscribed to and store them locally so that you didn’t...
I guess the title basically says it all. Anyone know how to post gifs, like you would post an image? Can you do that?...
I’m just curious what you folks think. The whole idea of the Fediverse seems to go against everything Meta has stops for with their existing platforms (Facebook and Instagram)....
Hey, looking into investing into a pair or two of shoes for work. I’m in IT now but worked warehouse and restaurant jobs before this and shoes were by far the biggest qol purchase I made. My current job is pretty relaxed on “business attire” but I want some sneakers and slip ones that look professional while being comfy...
Just curious. I’m hearing that a lot of people are using various apps with Lemmy but I’m having such a good experience with the browser version that I don’t understand the point of adding an additional layer via an app in between my access to the service. I’d love to hear people’s opinions about the pros and/or cons to...
Is there a quick way to see what instances are federated with each other? I know for a while (and maybe still are) beehaw and Lemmy.ml defederated from Lemmy.world. Are they still defederated? Is it worthwhile to post on their communities if those users won’t see it?
So, I recently came across a post on lemmy.world (my current instance) where every comment showed up as “removed by mod”. I was curious to see what happened, so I opened the Modlog, filtered by “Removing Comments” and cycled through all the mods of that community (not sure if there’s a better way), but found absolutely...
I still have my reddit account to look up local news. Over my time on reddit I joined several chat groups and over the past week I’ve noticed that people are being mass added to these groups. Even ones that have been dead for years suddenly have people posting and commenting on them. It’s very obvious that this is been done...
So from my understanding, I can block an instance which prevents it from showing in my feed....
I’m asking for private notes, that only you as a user can see....
Both are federated right? Getting a bit confused - are they interchangeable? Can I view lemmy posts/communities in Mastodon? Similar to how I can view lemmy.ml content with a lemmy.world account?
Right now I have my feed sorted by Hot. The sixth post in my feed is 19 days old, has zero comments, and one upvote. I’m struggling to work out what algorithm is deciding this is a Hot post
The tech giants make enough money that they could keep on growing forever, from my understanding....
Both platforms offer unique features, but also come with limitations. While Lemmy offers diverse content, it lacks robust tag metadata for organizing and searching images. On the other hand, boorus excel at categorizing images with tags but lack the discussion and the diverse content from Lemmy. Why haven’t we seen a platform...
Their sidebar appears to be intentionally vague. It is overwhelmingly low quality memes.
This may be more of an “out of the loop” thing, but I’m new to this site and I’m noticing that lemmy.world seems surprisingly bereft of any substantial NSFW content. I’m surprised! Isn’t the adage that porn motivates technological progress?...
Assuming he doesn’t have a red phone line directly to Batman like in the old TV show, obviously.
When looking at a post in wefwef it shows upvote downvote and then a symbol like a flag (the save icon I assume) but I click it and nothing happens. Is there a way to save a post?
Isn’t this a very common phrase? Surely, someone already thought about this?
I’ve created and account in programming.dev. When I search for a community, sometimes I don’t find in when I search in programming.dev but I find it in lemmy.world
Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this?...
