I want to respond to writing prompts, but from a separate account. That way, if someone enjoys a story, they can scroll through my (alt account's) history for more writing without needing to dig through all of the dramatic, vitriolic, shit-stirring my main account will be regularly diving into....
Title, basically. Back on Reddit, there was a way to add a user as a friend. It made it easer to identify people (Apollo would highlight friends differently), as well as to see what they’re up to across all communities. There was even a feed for all posts by all friends, which was really useful.
For the most part it's borderline child porn or stable diffusion spam. There should be an option to opt out of content from specific instances on account level.
With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?
Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don't understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don't even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so...
I've noticed that there are a few communities that tend to dominate when viewing all. Some days it gets to where looking at all isn't very different than just looking at Memes@lemmy.ml or 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone....
Those who blog in the fediverse, what do you use? Writefreely is a bit too minimalist for what I want to do. Is the best alternative for me to just use wordpress with the activitypub plugin?
I see there is a fediverse equivalent of Goodreads (Bookwyrm), but is there a fediverse equivalent of Letterboxd / icheckmovies / trakt.tv?...
I often browse /all, come across a post that looks interesting but I have no clue what's it about, so I check the sidebar - and all I find is "An unofficial Lemmy community for X", " A place to discuss everything about X", or the best kind, "A continuation of r/X from Reddit"....
Idea: if you mod a community on a lemmy.somewhere you should be able to migrate it to lemmy.elsewhere which would include all post & comment links being forwarded and subbed users having their subscription updated to reflect the new location....
The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn't quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.
Obviously Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. are federated decentralized equivalent to their centralized counterparts, but what is the counterpart in the fediverse to TikTok? It is a dominant app for millions of people, and as far as I can tell the closest thing is Peertube, but isn’t that more of a YouTube equivalent? Does it...

Hi all,...
Given the recent attack, I think this is a good opportunity to remind of the importance of using 2FA....
Created on June 1 of this year, lemmy.world quickly grew to 51k users and then blew up after reddit's API debacle on July 1, doubling to a whopping 100k in just 9 days later!
I didn't come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn't care about its users....
A ton of countries have a decently active Lemmy instance, including the English-speaking ones (UK, AUS, NZ, ZA)....
Afaik, whenever an Activitypub instance has defederated from another it has always had to do with some combination of bad user behavior, poor moderation, and/or spam. Are the various instance admins who have decided to preemptively block threads.net simply convinced that these traits will be inevitable with it? Is it more of a...
Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?...
We're seeing an increase from 53k active users at the beginning of July to 72k active users at the time of this post....
The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:...
Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers....
For example in the screenshot (twitch clip), if you want to share on reddit you click the reddit button, but what button are devs supposed to put to share in the fediverse? Do they pick an instance of their choice?! Is this a weakness of a federated platform or what?
