It's the instance admined by the authors of Lemmy itself. The official forum is [email protected]. It's a bit disingenuous to ask to defederate from them, unless we want the already tense relationship with the authors of the software to break entirely.

Oh good, this must be a safe community. [email protected] banned me for having the audacity to suggest the russian trolls might be fewer in number than the number of their accounts would suggest.

Also, just thinking about it, but OP, you are posting this on a LW community, while people really disliking LW probably blocked the instance. You could maybe crosspost to [email protected] to get additional answers

Anyone working as a freelancer here? Do you have liability insurance regarding your work? Why?/Why not?

I want you to be right, but I’m not so sure anymore.

For example, yesterday I was having a good discussion over on ~~[email protected]~~ [email protected] about how terrible the media bias fact checker bot is, and when we started talking about the fact that it feels like there must be some kind of sponsorship deal involved, the mods removed the post. They cited a rule that the discussion absolutely didn’t break. So, it appears we’re free to talk about anything we want on Lemmy, unless a particular mod starts to feel sad or offended, or wants to hide something from the rest of us, and then they behave like anyone else with power and act unilaterally regardless of the ideals of the platform.

Oh, and it says a lot about how mods feel about an otherwise benign issue, when they remove all discussion of it. A sponsorship deal was only a guess, no one knew if that was true for sure, but when the mods deleted the discussion it made me convinced we were onto something. So, that kind of backfired.

To anyone who saw that yesterday, it made me furious. I almost quit Lemmy entirely. If we can’t be critical of mod decisions without fear of all our content being deleted by said mods, then this place is not worth my time. I’m going to stick around to see if things improve, but I’m frankly not optimistic.

Edit: I initially said the discussion was on [email protected], but it was actually on [email protected], and the mods have since restored the post.

Apparently the unsticking of this post in the [email protected] community did not federate and should be unstickied on world's end.

Kontext: Ich habe auf einen Kommentar in [email protected] geantwortet wo einer meinte, dass Lemmy.ml die Amerikanischen Politik Gemeinschaften blockiert hat. Und ich habe konkret folgendes geantwortet wofür ich gebannt wurde:

Das ist übrigens die besagte Regel 1:

Das bestätigt glaube ich sehr gut meine Aussage.

Basically, title

Also, as a reminder, the third rule of the community is

Avoid controversial topics such as politics or societal debates

For places that can host political/societal discussions:

As always, feel free to discuss this rule in the comments if you think it should be reviewed.

😱A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

Image description: A5 page, with various pie charts and text, indicating the results of an informal poll from lemmy.ml, full image text in spoiler

ARE TANKIES TAKING CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML ??

HEXBEAR.NET

DOES THE WORK FOR YOU!!

WE ASKED [email protected] ARE YOU A TANKIE?

First stack of pie charts shows the yes / no split, highlights that the lemmy.ml yes responses made up less than half of the yes votes, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml only made up a small portion, some hexbear-ians even vote no
second and third pie charts show the yes votes, and no votes by instance respectively
third stacked pie chart shows the yes / no split by instance, overlay-ed with the total yes / no votes

only top level comments were counted
tankies are closer than they appear
Deeply unserious
NDTS

full results / data

COUNTA of yes
@lemmy.ml = 10
@lemmygrad.ml = 5
@lemmy.world = 3
@lemmy.zip = 1
@hexbear.net = 3
@lemmy.sdf.org = 1
@lemmy.one = 1
Grand Total  = 24

COUNTA of no
@lemmy.ml = 2
@lemm.ee = 2
@lemmy.world = 8
@lemmy.blahaj.zone = 1
@reddthat.com = 1
@ttrpg.network = 1
@hexbear.net = 4
@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl = 1
Grand Total = 20

this was fun, thanks for the polling idea, Kristina (I spent too long on these charts because yours looked so spiffy, I hope you specifically are impressed lol), solidarity cleaning that data up, and general reminder people only half read anything before launching into a diatribe

tl:dr yes, tankies are totally conspiring to make sure you have a bad time on lemmy.ml

This time no crosspost of the original statement in [email protected] because somehow the content is lost as I select the community 😅
I hope that this is just a small bug and that otherwise everything is healthy. Image proxying is not in place yet. I will have a closer look at the now possible setup changes soon™.

Enjoy! 🍺

Searching Lemmyverse is good for finding communities. [email protected] is also a nice tool for finding new places.

I posted this on the other site but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics.

note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)! I will try to keep this thread updated over time.

Note: if you wish to auto-subscribe to all of the communities below, I have a post in the comments that describes how to do so.


My rough criterion was:

  • Of interest to me or a wide audience
  • Has a decent amount of activity
  • Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities.
  • 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc.

Directory

  • Conversation Communities - for chatty places
    • "ask" based
    • Casual chat / Misc
  • Hobbies, Creative, Passions
    • Misc
    • Artwork
    • Cooking, food, drinks
    • Gardening / Plants
    • Keyboard enthusiasts
    • Knitting, stitching, crocheting, etc
    • Reading and writing
  • Nice/Interesting/Funny pictures
    • Animals
    • Comics
    • Flags
    • Maps
    • Memes
    • Misc
    • Photography
    • Wallpapers
  • Games
    • Board games / Table top games
    • Chess
    • Crosswords / Daily games
    • Video games
  • Knowledge (e.g history, science, etc)
  • Space
  • TV (television, movies, film)
  • Music

Conversation communities

These are places that are 'chatty', good if you want a lot of comments.

"ask" based
Casual chat / Misc

Hobbies, Creative, Passions

Misc
Artwork

(see also the list under the Wallpapers header)

Cooking, food, drinks

Generally mostly nice pics of food:

Gardening / Plants
Keyboard enthusiasts
Knitting, Stitching, Crocheting, etc
Reading and Writing
Sport

Honestly there are so many sport communities around - if you search Lemmyverse for popular sports, you will almost certainly find more.


Nice/Interesting/Funny pictures

Animals

Literally just pictures of cute animals.

Comics
Flags
Maps
Memes

Meme communities in general can overload your feed, so keep that in mind.

Misc
Photography
Wallpapers

Games

Board Games / Table top games

The ttrpg.network instance has a lot of communities based around table top gaming & RPGs.

Chess
Crosswords / Daily games
Video Games

Knowledge (e.g history, science)


Space


TV (television), movies, film


Music

Lots of music communities on Lemmy. Search Lemmyverse for genres of interest for more, this definitely isn't exhaustive.

Note that music communities generally have low comment counts, from my experience.

There's also:


Previous

These communities have been removed from the list for not maintaining activity.

Did this get federated into [email protected] from mastodon just because of the @lemmy tag?

That's pretty cool.

  • Reports categories based on both the community, the instance of the community + the user to reduce report noise between mod actions and admin actions.

  • Post tags, to label content within a community.

  • Better language support, clearly indicating which ones are allowed when submitting something in the language dropdown, as well as basic language detection support.

  • When the instance is using pictrs, add a section in the user's settings to see all the uploaded pictures in that account, with the ability to delete any of them.

  • Better accessibility / a11y support for uploaded images with alt-text.

  • Support for svg-based emojis

  • For mods, the ability to make a pinned post made by one of the mods editable by other mods, which would be useful for FAQs, etc.

  • The ability to subscribe/follow a specific user, not just communities.

  • Passkeys support as a 2FA method.

  • Some basic builtin automod action, such as blocking known keywords from spammers from being posted, not just showing as removed as when using the slur filter in the admin settings.

EDIT: Something I just thought of

  • A URI protocol handler to refer to communities, users, post and comments in an instance-independant way (ie: lemmy://u/[email protected], lemmy://c/[email protected], lemmy://c/[email protected]/p/1234567) or another syntax that makes more sense. That way you could let the OS redirect the query to the software of your choice, and define your home instance there.

Now there are some issues to figure out before defining the URI handler, like how to refer to a post or comment that will redirect to the appropriate one on your home instance since post and comment currently have a unique ID on each instance, which makes them hard to directly address without doing some kind of conversion.

Hi all!

What?

I will be starting a secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We will, also, very likely use the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Why?

This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

When ?

Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+1 (aka 6pm Central European Time). Effectively, this is 6 hours "earlier in the day" than when the main sessions start, as of writing this post.

The first stream will happen on the coming Monday (2023-03-04).

Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

How ?

We will start from the beginning of "The Book".

There are 2 options:

  1. mirror the main sessions' pace (once every week), remaining ~4 sessions "behind" them in terms of progression through "The Book"
  2. attempt to catch up to the main sessions' progression

I am personally interested in trying out 2 sessions each week, until we are caught up. This should effectively result in 2-3 weeks of biweekly sessions before we slow back down. I'm not doing this just for me, however, so if most people joining these sessions prefer the first option I'm happy to oblige.

I will be hosting the session from my own twitch channel, https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader . I'll be recording the session as well; this post should be edited to contain the url for the recording, once I have uploaded it.

Who ?

You! (if you're interested). And, of course, me.

Welcome to Lemmy!

I found that a large number of communities have been named after popular, and less popular, subreddits. So I found them easy to find. There was an old r/Redditalternatives post that has a decent range of communities to start out, which I've copied below. It is similar to the default subreddits.:

*Note:*The "World" hyperlink takes you to the Lemmy.World communitiy.

General

News/Politics

Pets and such

Gaming

TV and Music

Pics and Art

Technology and Science

Sports

Others

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

it's mostly [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected], though some of the latest spam also started arriving in [email protected].

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The "survive for 3 days without pooping" post will always be my favorite

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ok, this is interesting. There was one just posted to [email protected], but it got removed from my instance as well.

The account looks deleted from lemm.ee, not found on lemmy.world, banned on lemmy.ml, and empty on lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Perhaps it's account deletion that doesn't federate properly.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

That would need to be a bot. The problem is that the spammer would just move on to the next community (which they have just done by moving to [email protected] I just put a tool up that automatically notifies a bunch of admins, mods and community team members when a post get's reported more than 3 times, so please report the posts if you see them.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you can count the sites that just mirror Reddit comments.

Searching on lemmy.ml shows the top being several [email protected] megathreads with comments in the thousands, then that [email protected] post you highlighted, more [email protected] threads, then a [email protected] megathread about Hexbear's federation. I guess we can see who comments the most.

I liked this [email protected] post Your username is the prompt, what did you get? which has 1618 comments.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (8 children)

Copying and pasting my answer from the same question just 2 weeks ago:

How do you know they all weren't wearing it?

There are a lot of people who do wear it but continue to smell because of underlying medical conditions. For example, fruity smelling body odor can indicate diabetes. People with a rare genetic condition called Trimethylaminuria can smell strongly of fish. It all depends on what bacteria (which outnumber your own body cells by 10 to 1 even though they are only 2% of your body mass) and what balance of enzymes you may or may not have.

Reducing perspiration can and often does help, concealing the odor with different ones can help, but sometimes people's bodies just aren't right for whatever mass produced product they have bought. Sometimes that can be fixed with medication. Sometimes it can't.

The first truly viral Lemmy post, I believe. It was a thing to behold. Post over in [email protected] from a guy asking how to not poop for three days but being extremely mysterious about the reasons why.

Did we ever find out why, in the end? Idk but I have chosen to enjoy the mystery.

I already lose track of whether this led directly to the bean craze or if the bean craze was unrelated, but they happened very close together!

Unfortunately seems like the original post has been deleted and now I am sad.

[email protected], which according to lemmyverse.net is the biggest community on Lemmy so it shouldn't have too much bias

Edit: for some reason lemmyverse.net doesn't show every instance, browse.feddit.de shows it as the third biggest which doesn't change much but still

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The general idea is good, but I still believe the best solution is the ability for Communities to follow other Communities. That is essentially a fully automated version of this sibling proposal.

This has been explained in great detail by ‘jamon’ here:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1113#issuecomment-1595273502

This basically lets Communities opt to federate directly with other Communities, abiding by the same network dynamics as the fediverse at large, I.e. cross-network moderation by (de)federation.

Here’s a succinct description of the problem that C-C following solves:

If you are an active user (not moderator) of Lemmy, the requirement for this becomes apparent almost immediately. One of the biggest strengths of these forum are communities-at-scale. Being able to easily post and interact with large groups of people is the benefit to the user that makes Lemmy (and all other social media) appealing.

As a user, I recently wanted to post to AskLemmy. Almost every single instance has thier own separate AskLemmy implementation. Naturally, I'd tend to post to the one with the most users. But inherently, I'm missing the majority of users by only being able to post to one. I.E., I posted to [email protected] (which had 3k users), but by doing that, I'm missing out on the users from lemm.ee, behaw, lemmy.world which in total are far more than 3k.

This is why I can never get into microblogging/Twitter-type platforms. Character limits and one-click reposting mean that what little discourse you get is shallow, and ragebait is consistently pushed to the top.

I'm not going to say that Lemmy or (especially) Reddit completely avoid this, but you generally get much more insightful conversation and can opt-in to political communities.

There was a thread on [email protected] recently asking people for their unpopular political opinions, and it actually wasn't a total shitshow!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ernest has actually said that the name "magazine" isn't gun related and that it's a reference "to the virtual edition of a late 90s gaming newspaper" (see this thread and my other comment for the full story)

Someone in that thread also explains that in Polish the names are different:

Polish word "magazyn" means storage or newspaper, but "magazynek " is a gun mag.

EDIT: Didn't word good.

On Kbin, you can: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/329396/How-many-of-you-are-actually-chatbots/votes/down

link

On Lemmy, it's ~~available on the AP~~ available in the database, so an admin instance can get that, but I don't know of any client that offers the feature

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

[email protected] (This is the main one)

[email protected] (This doesn't get as much posts)

[email protected] (This one is dead)

[email protected] (This seems active, there are a lot of bot reposts from reddit tho. You can view it using archive.is to view the original without giving reddit traffic, or use an adblocker if you are visiting directly.)

Edit: It seems like the AITA replacement is just mirroring reddit. There are not much discussion in the lemmy comment.

Edit 2: Someone below pointed out [email protected] is active, yay I love drama 😅 😟

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

For communities or users many clients (including the default web ui) understand relative links, like [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) or [@[email protected]](/u/[email protected]). The problem with these is that if instance the person reading your messages is on doesn't know that user/community (because no one is locally subscribed to it or there have been no actions seen by that user) you will get an ugly 404 page with the only remedy being to perform a search for that unknown user/community/whatever manually. I think this issue is being worked on to make things more seamless, but IDK when this experience will be improved.

There is also technically no guarantee that any instance will keep track of non-local objects perpetually, so the "canonical" location of a thing is generally on the server that the user is based on. Posts and comments are referenced by a sequential ID that is different on every instance, so... yeah.

Technically there is a unique ID for every object sent through ActivityPub, so those may be linkable in the future with a similar scheme such as /post/[email protected] or something uglier like /post/https%3A%2F%2Flemm.ee%2Fpost%2F288327 depending on compatibility needs (as the IDs in ActivityPub are all full URLs to the source object)

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I came up with a list of examples to explain this, but I can't see to add them to the post. I'm having a really hard time posting today. So here they are in a comment. I think this helps show exactly what's going on.

Examples

If this still doesn't make sense, then try the following examples. I hope being able to see defederation in action makes this a little more clear.

Beehaw Communities

We're going to use [email protected] as an example of what happens to beehaw communities

Here are three links:

The first link is the beehaw gaming community as hosted on beehaw. All of these are sorted by new, because it makes it very obvious when defederation went into effect. You can see that there are several new posts.

The second link is the beehaw gaming community as hosted on lemmy.world. You can see that all the posts before defederation (5 hours ago at time of writing) are the same as the beehaw one. But now, none of new posts are visible. We no longer get updates from the "true" version on beehaw. There are some new posts there, but all are posted by lemmy.world users. And the posts from lemmy.world users are not visible on beehaw.

The final link is to the beehaw gaming community as hosted on lemmy.ml. This is identical to the beehaw.org community, as the "true" version is on beehaw.org, the one that gets updated on other communities is the "true" version.

Lemmy.world communities

We'll use the lemmyworld base community as an example:

The first post is the version of this community as hosted on beehaw.org. You can see from 5 hours ago, there are no more posts. That's because they no longer receive the "true" version of this community. Someone on there could still post, but then it would only be visible to other people on beehaw.org.

The second shows it as hosted on lemmy.world. We can see all the posts. The last link shows it as hosted on lemmy.ml, and we can see it's the same as the lemmy.world version. The "true" version is on lemmy.world, so lemmy.ml keeps up with the updated version.

Third instance communities

Finally, we have the example of communities that are on instances that have not been defederated by beehaw.org.

We can see all three of these versions look pretty similar. That's because for the most part they are. We are identical with lemmy.ml, as lemmy.ml hosts the "true" version, and we get all updates from the "true" version. Beehaw.org will not get posts/comments from us, so beehaw actually doesn't have the most "true" version of this community.

Comment example

I found this one really entertaining:

This is the same post hosted on three different instances. Since the community is on lemmy.ml, the "true" version of this post is the lemmy.ml one.

It was posted by a beehaw.org user AFTER defederation, but it's still visible to lemmy.world users, since the community it was posted to is lemmy.ml, not beehaw.org. We can comment on it, and those comments are sent to the "true" version on lemmy.ml (and then shared to the wider fediverse). However, comments from lemmy.world are NOT sent to the version of this post on beehaw.org.

When I found this example, there were only two comments on this post, both from lemmy.world users. So the poster did not get an initial response because of defederation.
