I'm 36, and while my love life has been varied and interesting, over the last few years I've started to want to settle down. I know it doesn't happen overnight. But recently it's been weighing on me more and more. I reminisce about past relationships. I feel hopeless about meeting someone in the future who shares my values....

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....

I got the "shutting down" message and I was signed out of all of my accounts. But the front page, posts, and comments are all still loading just fine.

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?...

In the profile settings (direct from website browser, not app or app affiliate) it states “show bot account” and then right above it it says “bot accounts” with check marks for each much how we select if we want to see nsfw posts....

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?...

TLDR - Why don’t Lemmy instances use methods like affiliate links to increase their funding?...

I’m in Lemmy.world, but I’ve seen there are others. Do I have to switch in between them (if so, how?) or is it fine the way I have it?...

I have seen several of my image posts (and several other posters pictures) become turned sideways after posting even though the image is right side up before posting. How do I ensure my image won’t get rotated once posted?

I know that users from different instances can have @instance after the user name, but what does it mean when the username is @username ?

I don't remember what caused the Voat's origin, except it involved Reddit HQ. And then it went under in 2020....

I don’t want to block all nsfw content but I really don’t want to have to block every new porn community that pops up on lemmynsfw. Is there a way to block all the communities that originate at lemmynsfw?

I am still learning this whole thing and I ended up creating accounts here and on Mastodon. Is that necessary or do I automatically have a Mastodon username with my Lemmy? I used the same stuff on both accounts, can I merge them or something?...

My understanding is that favorites are equivalent to twitter likes, and boosts are equivalent to twitter retweets, but on twitter people like way more then they retweet, so why is it different on mastodon?
