Some states don’t even have sales tax. US is a giant country with many different sets of laws

District 9

Most people do though and they won’t see Lemmy posts. It might just be that google is still figuring out how to index federated websites

Do you use Lemmy on an app? I’ve never gotten gifs or short clips to work but I use the default web UI. Will be nice when it works embedded by default

Thanks! I’m taking a look

LW admins are hostile and unprofessional in my experience. There are better instances and I’ve noticed Lemmy has become a lot more spread out the past few months.

I have noticed a lot of negativity from LW specifically and try to avoid that instance as much as possible.

It’s definitely demotivating. I think the biggest issue, and this is something I’ve heard a lot from outside the Lemmy sphere is the very divisive and niche politics that seem so prevalent on Lemmy world and Lemmy ML. I have tried to bring people to Lemmy and they’ll usually see the LW front page and not return. Communism/far left is not popular with the general public and will scare most people away. The top posts of Lemmy can also be very negative.

I try to practice what I preach and have joined reddthat and try to run positive communities with no negativity allowed.

Your posting has definitely helped and most of my posts get a decent amount of upvotes which is what keeps me going. I hope more of the general public joins Lemmy and the extremist politics aren’t so front and center.

Take a deep breath. It’s just a meme, you’ll live I promise

Who hurt you?

This your haircut? 🤣
