I’ve been drinking for 7 years. Typicall I’ve only drank 3-4 drinks a year. If I stop drinking now, would that help decrease chances of cancer? If it does will it take a long time?

I keep reading that former users of reddit are scrubbing their old accounts out of spite. So I wanted to know- What is it? Why are people doing it? Does it actually hurt reddit? What are some good bots that will do it for you?

Occasionally find myself envying people with faith and wonder how my life is different than theirs.

I found a meme i like earlier and upvoted it but now i cant find it.

can you make whatever or are there rules to peertube, and why does everyone say its better than youtube? I want to make gameplay videos someday but i wasnet sure if i should use peertube, youtube, or some other thing....

bonus points for a nsfw alternative as well, seeing as I am trying to move off of deddit entirely sooner rather than later

I’ve run across these terms several times, but without enough context to figure out what they mean. Could someone help me out, please?...

Talking about those collage images we see after a users post.

Most of the other Fediverse platforms are pretty obvious to me as to what they're meant to be alternatives to. Mastodon for Twitter/Threads, PixelFed for Instagram, Lemmy for Reddit, Matrix for Discord/Slack... But I can't quite place MissKey. It doesn't really feel like any other social network I've seen before....

Quick question - In Mastodon, there is an option to set a “Timed Mute” on a user. Is there an equivalent in Lemmy?...

I know the Fediverse is every federated application, is the threadiverse just Mastadon, Kbin and Lemmy?

…with the James Web Telescope looking for sources of artificial light to identify potential intelligent life, and the news this week of Perseverance searching for microbial life on Mars it feels like we are getting closer to a major discovery. But what - if anything - would it mean for the religions on Earth if life is proven...

I’m not sure I completely understand the differences. Are they seperate or somehow connected?...

I always struggle trying to decide whether or not to stay home when I’m feeling under the weather. How do you decide?

I guess it’s self explanatory but I keep seeing all this stuff about how everyone is moving from Reddit to lemmy and I’m wondering if anyone knows if that’s really what’s happening. If you have numbers that’s even better....

I mean, there might be a secret AI technology that is so advanced to the point that it can mimic a real human, make posts and comments that looks like its written by a human and even intentionally doing speling mistakes to simulate human errors. How do we know that such AI hasn’t already infiltrated the internet and everything...

I know at this point a lot of it is related to money, but there was a transitional time that led to this point that I’m still confused by....

I am aspiring to one day host a chat server of some kind to eventually replace my Discord server. Matrix has caught my eye and I’m looking to try using it a bit to get a feel for it, but I can’t seem to find any communities that i really like. There’s a lot of niche stuff out there and it’s hard for me to find servers...

Assuming this is the case, what instances would you recommend? My home instance doesn’t allow community creation and I don’t necessarily want to pile everything on lemmy.world. Decentralization and all that.

Someone replies to me and how do I go to their post? Its not obvious
