As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn't use much disk space, so that shouldn't be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It's because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.
There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.
Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?
Use your instance's search feature. You can search
- Name of community:
No Stupid Questions
- By using !community@instance syntax:
[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
- URL of the community:
https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions
First option won't work if your instance hasn't federated the community yet. The last option is best in my opinion.
r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can't see, especially if the software isn't very accessible.
Someone needs to start a "campaign" for naming and shaming companies who advertises on Reddit. "[This company] supports a company that actively discriminates against the disabled. #SayNoToReddit"
Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.
Some communities have bots that copies posts from Reddit. Some do that so there would be more content in Lemmy. Those bots probably don't break any rules set by the Admins of those instances.
Personally I don't like that content is being copied without the permission of those who made the posts in Reddit. Also, in some cases it sort of defies the whole point of the community. For example, one of the Explain Like I'm Five communities has a bot like that. The bot includes a link to the original post. Why would anyone reply to the bot's post, when you can just read the explanation from the original post? That doesn't help make Lemmy more active place when a bot posts things and no human ever replies to them.
At the bottom of the page, it says something like "BE 0.17.4". BE means BackEnd, in this case that would be Lemmy.
r/Blind mods created their own Lemmy instance at https://rblind.com/. They use some beta features and their own modifications to make it more accessible.
Some of the big things that happened in the past 24h or so:
- r/LegalAdviceUK wants to move their 800k+ community to another platform. Their members might be testing Lemmy.
- Apollo developer posted another lengthy post about Reddit and their leadership.
Also r/ModCoord has started recommending moderators to move their communities to other platforms, like Lemmy.
Would also be great if the new comments would be highlighted.
