Am I Crazy or is the Mali Government Reclaiming the ml Domain Now is too Convenient of a Time?...

Who determines who owns a domain name? International organization? Do unrecognized countries also get their own top-level domain? If someone or some organization wanted to register a website for highly illegal activities (terrorism, crime organizations, etc) who has the authority to shut them down? Does one government has the...

What Happened to lemmy.fmhy.ml? What Happens if an Instance Disappears?...

As I understand it, instances can be hosted by anybody. So, doesn’t it make sense that you should be able to shop around what instance you want to join based on stated beliefs on how the instance and information should be run (de-federation, etc)? Shouldn’t there be some kind of public information to keep them held...

I mean, a state that is forseeing a election which an opponent party will likely win, could just pass a law before the election that says “The state legislature shall have the sole authority of appointing electors to the electoral college for elections of president and vice president” and if they have an already...

How do I make the politics and news subs go away? It’s all ridiculously biased to the lib side and I’m as centrist/moderate as a human can possibly be, and don’t want “news” from a polar source (and this joint definitely is)....

When I was at The Bad Place I had a sub just for me to post on… anyone could read and comment, but only I could make a post. I used it kind of like a notebook, nothing personal like a diary. A fix I made for Gratuitous Space Battles crashing, a can opener I really liked, a commentary on when Reddit hired a pedophile and tried...

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...

The anti-spez crows likes to paint people who keep using Reddit as sheep. But are there people out there who actually think he’s doing a good job?

One thing I’m not clear about is the impact my home instance has on me. I joined lemmy.world and am currently using the connect for lemmy app. I know when I sort by Local it will only show me posts from lemmy.world, but beyond that are there any things to keep in mind?...

Instances where most communities are related to a main subject, like programming.dev

And which of them are a better alternative than subscribing to a specific community here at lemmy.world?

AsI understand it someone is paying for me to use this so should I try to limit my time here to keep their costs down? Should I avoid leaving it open casually? Is there a way to support instances that I enjoy?

Hello c/NSQ! As you may have noticed from the fancy “A” next to his name on his posts around Lemmy, our fearless leader AvaddonLFC is now an Administrator, which means he can no longer be part of our moderation team. I have agreed to take over his communities because I believe in what we’ve all been building together as a...

Is there a way to search for all communities belonging to one instance while being on another?

The one thing I like most about Android is the immense customizability using launchers. You have a completely new UI, any style you want....

The American way of expressing distances by drive time - what does that include?

Is there something similar to google search site:reddit.com blahblah ? for lemmy?...

My feed is filled with dumb “advices”, so called “professionals” that post the most entry level stuff and all sorts of shit that if I were a recruiter I would stay away from these people

I was browsing Tik Tok (yes I am ashamed) and saw a video of caver in pretty narrow passage. So that caver took another rock and started to chip in order to widen a little bit the passage, while complaining about not having a hammer with him....

Is it possible with one of the Lemmy apps to display how many times I have upvoted a previous user’s comments?

Sorry if this isn’t the right community.

Let’s use lemmygrad.ml as an example. My home instance is lemmy.world, which I see has defederated from lemmygrad.ml. If I post to a community on lemmygrad.ml, will everyone be able to see it?...
