Is numlock key actually useful?
I see no use for the numlock key, I'd rather just have the numpad on the whole time. Are there actually cases where it is useful or people who for some reason prefer their numpad turned off?
Is there any way for a user to block an instance?
I know this is not a feature oficially on lemmy as of now (at least the github github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397?ref=privacy… the issue is still open)...
Why is a “shit-eating grin” called that?
What am I doing wrong in subbing to remote communities?
I just switched over to feddit.uk to reduce the strain on lemmy.world. Either I’ve forgotten or am doing something wrong, because I can’t seem to subscribe in what I thought was the right way....
Don't federated instances just exacerbate already existing problems with places like Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter? Specifically admin/mod abuse, excessive reposting/cross-posting, server lag/issues?
So considering there’s a substantial push to get away from places like Reddit and Twitter, as an outsider I’m wondering how the fediverse is going to actually provide solutions to some already bad problems within higher resource platforms:...
Is there a way to directly transfer files between laptops and PCs using regular USB cables?
I’ve replaced my old laptop with a new one and I have over 350GB worth of data to move over, moving all of it to an external drive and then moving them to the new laptop doesn’t seem efficient and it seems like it’s gonna take forever...
For those new to Lemmy, think of instances as countries
I’ve seen a lot of people who are still confused about instances and the various communities in them. Think of the Fediverse as Earth and the instances as countries. Countries have constitutions that establish the values of the country. Instances are the same....
How do I find remote communities easier?
It seems you can’t list all communities on a remote instance. But it also seems like going to that instance won’t necessarily show all communities unless you log in. Am I missing something for how this is supposed to work?
Can we prevent Lemmy from being so political?
Just as the title suggest. Is there anyway we can prevent Lemmy from being such a giant sphere of political annoyance just like Reddit? No matter where you go on reddit before the API changes and even now, someone has to bring politics into it. Even in post or subreddits where it’s not needed....
Is climate change sending us towards an apocalypse, or will it just make life shit/hard?
is there something like catbox that supports gallery links?
I love catbox.moe it’s really really handy but sometimes I need to share multiple photos at once and I was just wondering if there’s a solution to that…...
Is it possible to create a computer processor whose bare metal/assembly language is closer to higher level languages?
A bit of context....

Viewing Mastodon posts from Lemmy
Whenever I search a Mastodon user and pull up their profile it shows up as if they have nothing posted....
how to save a post?
When looking at a post in wefwef it shows upvote downvote and then a symbol like a flag (the save icon I assume) but I click it and nothing happens. Is there a way to save a post?

How hard is it to make a film/movie of sorts? (mostly by ones-self)
So i have alot of ideas but im not sure how to express them but a short film seemed like a good start. the ting is it seems exspensive to get into this hobby becasue you need, props, a script, constumes, skills, etc....
Which war in the past 80 years were a fight for America's (USA) freedom?
Aside from WWII, which wars were a threat to our country? I hope I don’t sound disrespectful to veterans, but when we thank them for our freedoms I am a bit conflicted. Thank you.
What are downvotes for then? (lemmy.zip)
So, coming from the world of RIF where downvotes haven’t been a thing for quite some time: what are downvotes for in Lemmy?...
