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?
As far as I've seen FAQs is should be so but my test comment doesn't appear on the host server, just on lemmy.world. Is this a sync issue, or a weird feature?
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?
I think I waited almost four weeks for my data from reddit, only to find out that for each post I saved, they only put a permalink in the csv file. This is obviously not what I wanted....
I have photos/short videos of painted miniatures which I want to show to interested hobby communities. I have started a pixelfed.social account as I have heard this is Fediverse's equivalent of Instagram. Whether it is or not is irrelevant - I quite like the interface, so I decided to keep my content there....
Hey guys. I own a fairly successful business that I built from the ground up, but I still find money is super tight. I have a child on the way, and I want to be able to provide for my family everything I didn’t have growing up. What career or side job would you recommend I do or learn in my spare time? I’m open to any...
When posting a video url on Lemmy, is there any way to have the post display a picture of the video thumbnail? It would look so much better than gray squares with an outlink arrow in the corner.
I keep feeling frustrated as valuable knowledge for my different hobbies over the last years became siloed away in corporate social media. I believe wikis could be a way out, but can we have decentralized, federated wiki software that can kind of talk among each other?
This might be a stupid question but given (my brief understanding of) how the fediverse works, would a fediverse version of a messaging app work? As a potential WhatsApp or Telegram replacement? Or is there one already?
I created a community c/teleffusion and I've created two posts there (https://lemmy.world/post/812263 & https://lemmy.world/post/774004) yet when I go to the 'homepage' for the community... no posts show up? => https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/779092f8-5559-4693-be80-b505771c7112.png...
I’m using Liftoff but also checked out Connect and am trying to figure this out. (It took me multiple tries just to create an account so bear with me!). How can I find popular communities? I found a master list but it was in alphabetical order and wouldn’t let me sort by subscriber count.
