What I mean is, why not just a bi-directional mirror, with several servers in the larger users goes? Can the federation API be leveraged to just do that to address the dramatic load increase? Folks firing up Lemmy servers all over that only have a tiny portion of unique content are likely to provide poor experiences and stress...

I saw some moderator actions that included purging something. How is this different from removing and banning things?

Sorry if someone has already asked this. This is my first post on Lemmy. I mean, I guess you could ask the same question about Reddit but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be Read-It. But what does Lemmy mean? Is it a cute word for a small lemon?

I keep trying to make one. But when I finish writing the name and details I try hitting create and nothing happens, no comment that i did anything wrong either (im ont the mobile site btw)...

One of the best things about reddit was looking for answers or other users with the same problem as you, and since Google didn’t really help with that anymore and instead insisted on giving you business results, the best practice was to put your search terms in followed by ‘reddit’ and you’d find your answer.

I don’t understand why a car would have both if they both provide rotational energy, unless they just stack? I don’t know what’s going on.

Edit: to clarify, I know that many short hair styles don’t have a part at all. Mostly talking about people with hair long enough to have one. I find it interesting that many studies conclude that beauty is tightly correlated with how symmetrical someone’s face is. However, many haircuts and hair styles are asymmetrical,...

I’m desktop-only user and never had any experience with Reddit/Lemmy apps, and the sentiment towards them confuzes me....

Saw it on TikTok that when a camera and WiFi are active, and then the camera removed, AI can visualise people in the room

I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up....

The roll over worry because of hybrid is not an excuse. There are electric hybrids.

I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?...

Like how RES + old reddit had shift + x to toggle all photos being opened.

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

I took a ton of pictures at an event. Unfortunately the autofocus of my cam is a bit wonky and this lead to blurry pictures. Does anyone have an app or way to restore details on the unfocused object? I also have the raw files of these pictures if that helps.

Hello, I want to switch to mastodon from twitter can anyone suggest me the best app on iOS to make the transition.

I just filled out a passport renewal form and listed “brown” as my hair color. But if I’m honest, I’m at an age where there’s more gray hair than brown hair....

Version 5.6.22

I've had my ISP account for nearly 3 years. Today, I got some funny new fees on my Internet bill. One was a "high speed network recovery fee" and the other was an "administrative fee" with my state in the name. I'm curious what more I could do to fight these stupid fees. Here's what I've done so far:...

There’s a user on lemm.ee who has been making hundreds of communities over the last few days, but it seems like a flag-planting operation more than anything else. It would be impossible for one person to moderate all of these communities, and they have zero post or comment history....

I have been thinking which of the two should i use. If i understand fully i can still browse lemmy instances on kbin. And i can even check out mastodon users on it....

This question pops up organically with answers often enough, but is there a megathread or a /c/ specifically for sharing communities/letting people know they exist?

It's lonely being an adult

I’ve seen the app Apollo as the center of the reddit protest (it was mentioned and cited more than any other app in relevant posts). I’ve also seen many Lemmy clients in development taking inspiration from it....
