With reddit I could go to the sidebar and quickly type in a subreddit if I wanted to browse it specifically....

Feel free to pick a context:...

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....

I'm currently working on learning r programming to use at work. Is there a good place whereI can ask for answers to the issues I'm running into that I cannot find by just searching online.

The last humans to step foot on the moon, the crew of Apollo 17, did so in 1972. So far, no one has gone back…...

I’m making an animatic, and want to know how to extract audio from a video and turn it into a file I can insert into a movie making program.

Why can't the U.N. just make war illegal?

I migrated from reddit like a lot of folks. I'm using kbin.social, but it seems I can also see posts from people at places like lemmy.world. How many different instances are there? How does the federated model work? So far I like what I see, but I'm also just trying to understand how things are integrated here.

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?

I’ve heard about LASIM a few times now, this great tool for migrating Lemmy subscriptions from one account to another. I downloaded it from Github recently to try it out… only problem? I have no clue how to get it to run. All the instruction I read online just say “run LASIM” as if it’s that trivial and leave me...

I can understand trying to teach someone via visuals or by talking to them but I can't figure out how you would teach someone multiplication or about government services or scammers without either.

I don't actually use TikTok or even the "sliding" function on youtube shorts, but I feel like my attention span has gotten much worse after they started getting popular. Even watching a 2 minute video feels dreadfully long, let alone a 10 or 20 minute video, so I end up watching a mostly short animation memes instead.

Is there a template for rules? Rules for rules? Is there a lot of spam and abuse requiring moderation?...

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.

More specifically, the HP T640 device....

For example, if I (on kbin.run - which is Mbin, but for the purposes of this let's just assume it's Kbin) go to a random magazine on kbin.social, I will often see a prompt that the magazine may be incomplete and that I should visit the original instance for all the content....

This is the one thing keeping me from using Ecosia at this point. I use year filters a LOT as a programmer, and I really don't like how shady Brave generally is. However, even changing "freshness" to "year" in the URL just makes it get set to "any time", which is not ideal....

I am trying to create a random question generator on perchance.org for practice in responding to french questions. I have a generator that selects questions from a list of questions (“outputa”) (perchance.org/4ewrtclbl5#edit)....

Most of the other Fediverse platforms are pretty obvious to me as to what they're meant to be alternatives to. Mastodon for Twitter/Threads, PixelFed for Instagram, Lemmy for Reddit, Matrix for Discord/Slack... But I can't quite place MissKey. It doesn't really feel like any other social network I've seen before....

It seems to me these giant grants to a small number of organizations (Climate United Fund, Coalition for Green Capital, Power Forward Communities) seems like it could be delivering pork to well-connected people. Is this actually going to produce “clean” energy and help disadvantaged people? These seem like very large awards...

When I click (on mobile) on the kbin logo, it used to pull up information about the magazine/community, which had options such as subscribing and blocking. Now it just brings me to kbin.social.

I can find a list of my subscriptions(it's empty), so I know it must be possible. I just can't find the damn button anywhere!

I've found that some of the replies in kbin have solid lines and some are dashed even though they are relplying to the same comment. Are dashed lines for accounts on unfederated instances or something similar? (still new to fediverse so not sure how this all works)

Maybe I need to be educated on the nuances but why would anyone believe what a spokesperson says about a company/product/service?...
