Ok so imagine I’m on instance A, which is federated with instance B but defederated with instance C. Can people from instance C see a post I make on instance B and vice-versa?

Genuine question and just to clarify I’m talking about stockings rather than active wear or yoga pants...

Young Adults, How Frequent Do You See Your Friends?...

For example - if a popular TV show is about to have its season or series finale, or a sport league is about to have its championship game. Are there any websites that track these, without all the noise of less important shows or games, to keep track of?...

I feel like I missed this part of internet school.

The fun of Lemmy’s “all” is that you see posts from all around the world. Today my feed is suddenly full of memes in German about an old white guy with an eyepatch. Who is he, and why is he suddenly a meme?

So, I had an incredibly fucked-up childhood in a toxic abusive environment and never really learned how to people....

Bars are notable for staying open late, but I’m not really familiar with alternatives that might operate similarly. I think many cafés (at least around my area) tend to close a few hours earlier by comparison, which would be my go-to for an alternative otherwise, so what other options are there?

I can’t click on it, don’t find anything on lemmy.world about it (maybe I’m just not good at searching for this stuff) and it only appears on a single comment I made. I haven’t seen it anywhere else yet. What does it mean?...

Title has it all.

Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding...

I’m using Jerboa, which I think is nice, but it doesn’t seem to me that it has any mod tools. This prevents me from addressing mod issues while I’m away from my computer. Are there any Android apps that come withod tools, such as report notifications, post/comment deletion, community editing, etc?...

What Does Fabric Conditioner Do? And Should I Use It?...

Maybe poppy seed or chia seed?

I thought you could go blind looking at the sun....

How/why did saying things like bless you or gesundheit start? And when?

I recently tried to join Mastodon, and like Twitter before it, I don’t understand the premise. You follow individuals instead of topics, and if you try to follow hashtags they change on a whim all the time so you’re unlikely to get relevant posts....

Quite literally. How come when we feel “confused”, we start getting the need to expel the contents from our stomach?...
