When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a...

Another Reddit refugee here,...
I read somewhere in here that other fediverse apps like Ice Cubes should be able to access Lemmy.World content to give one an experience similar to the Reddit app. I have Ice Cubes already for viewing mastodon posts and it works ok....
Beyond spez (and the fact that he is a greedy little pig boy), I’m curious about the corporate dynamics that prevent a company like Reddit from being profitable. From an outside perspective, they make hundreds of millions per year via advertising, their product is a relatively simple (compared to industries that need a lot of...
I’m not even sure if that an option in the men’s room?
In particular, I can’t seem to see posts in the (local?) ELI5 community: lemmy.world/c/explainlikeimfive while I’m logged in?...
Cat: so, for context, we’re a plural system; a group of multiple people living in the same brain. We’re wondering if there’s any other systems on Lemmy at the moment. Also could be considered an AMA for those interested....
I’ve been blocking communities on all that I don’t find interesting. If I want to unblock them later, is there a way to do that?
Definitely not the right place for this, but I’m yet to find the right place. I need an SSD/HDD that can store about 10 years worth of family photo and video. I was looking at that Samsung rugged SSD, but it’s a little above my price range right now. I’e like to have at least a terabyte for future photos so I don’t have...
Either in a client (I’ve been using Jeroba) or in my Lemmy profile. I’d love to be able to block words I don’t want to see stuff about… Like trying to avoid spoilers for movies, or just wanting to avoid mentions of certain people, but without blocking entire communities.
Just curious if one central site is used nowadays
Related to the question about whether facial expressions are universal....
Mostly the title, but it would be nice to have more options now that Reddit and Twitter have alternatives. I would love to see a YouTube and ticktock version. Maybe even an instagram as well.
As in bars that only serve alcohol free cocktails. There is one opening up in my city and I’m just curious of the viability of these things....
Since news leaked out 2 days ago that Facebook has approached Mastodon developers and admins - requiring non-disclosure agreements first - the whole microverse (i.e. mastodon / pleroma etc, the micro-blogging part of fedi) has been talking about nothing but that and Facebook’s imminent entry into the fediverse with an as yet...
My wife found out Saturday through an ancestry.com DNA test that her dad is not her actual biological father. Her mother had a supposed one time incident with a man she found on Facebook through the names on the ancestry test. Her parents separated when she was 6. She wasn’t close with her dad over the years, but there was...
Lemmy seems to be incredibly slow, 2+ second delay in any action through lemmy.world even after restarting the browser. it wasnt like this the other day but now its basically unusable. Any suggestions?
Basically I want to follow kbin.social/m/chess without the assle of browsing a different website....
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
Not sure if I understand this, but I think the way the lemmy federation works is:...
It feels like more Lemmy apps are going to make their way on to the app stores. With more apps, comes more people. More people, more API calls. How do we scale this server and hopefully all of the others to come, financially?...
After all the BS from /u/spez?
I’ve heard a few people on here are starting their own personal instances so they can federate independently with different instances without relying on a larger, third-party instance. If I wanted to do this, would I need to own an actual server, separate from my PC?
AFAIK they aren’t there yet right? Should the developers of lemmy do it or should it be up to the instances to decide whether to do it or how to implement them?
