I’m not really tech savvy but can follow directions pretty well. I am trying to create a local lemmy instance for my country and want to contribute to the community with a local server....

Stereotypical authoritarian leaders in history tend to do opulent, egocentric things like building statues of themselves everywhere or writing songs about how cool they are and making kids in school sing them. What are some examples of modest dictators whose regimes skipped that type of pomp and circumstance?

So no question I’ve been enjoying lemmy, I love the freedom it offers and I love the seemingly simple and elegant framework it runs on however after having ditched Reddit for the hopes of a similar or improved content experience I have to say it is quite a bit smaller and therefore barren at times which is both a good and bad...

Hello, I’m new to Lemmy and am trying to login to my account through an iOS app. This problem happens every time I try to log in using the correct details (copy and pasted from my password manager) on both Mlem and Memmy apps....

I have some automated pet stuff in my house. There were 2 power outages 2 days in a row. After each one, the pet electronics refused to turn back on even if I unpluged and replugged the power brick from the wall outlet side. They would only turn on if I unplugged the power brick on the electronics side and plugged it back in....

I am aspiring to one day host a chat server of some kind to eventually replace my Discord server. Matrix has caught my eye and I’m looking to try using it a bit to get a feel for it, but I can’t seem to find any communities that i really like. There’s a lot of niche stuff out there and it’s hard for me to find servers...

Hello everyone! To start out, I’d once again like to say thank you to every single one of you for being here. We’re building something awesome here together, and I’m grateful you’ve been with us so far....

Do I need a 3rd party website like Strawpoll to do polls? If so, which one do you think would be the best for polls for music (maybe something that plays a sample of the song?)

Where do you get your Wallpapers?...

I was up to over a hundred points of score, and now im back down to 20, but my post and comments still have the same number of likes?

Probably more stupid than most questions here, but Lemmy seems to have a learning curve. I’m using Connect to access the fediverse....

I just switched over to feddit.uk to reduce the strain on lemmy.world. Either I’ve forgotten or am doing something wrong, because I can’t seem to subscribe in what I thought was the right way....

I dont know if this is bugged or there are actually no mods but !writingprompts shows 0 mods....

I understand how to code… To an extent. I know syntax and can solve problems given a set of tools (such as source code, functions, etc). I’ve made mods and basic programs (literally and figuratively), but I’ve never messed with internet stuff other than networking and mostly on the hardware side....

Imgur breaks when I upload, and catbox uploads the video but can’t play it…...

I use Podcast Addict and have recently noticed location-based ads in my podcasts. Adds that are local to my large town / small city. The app doesn't have location permissions, so how are the podcasts embedding localized ads?

Hi all,...

Some times the pump is like if it was slowly letting out just a little dribble. What's up with that?

I see a lot of hype about being able to pet dogs in video games. Why?

I can only log in when I change my password. The password-changing process manages to log me in. I cannot log in, at all, in any other way. Not in any internet browser, even in clean installs. When I click the login button it just keeps spinning forever. The Jerboa app is the only thing giving me any info because it always says,...
