We recently had our heater changed to a heat pump and whilst producing the same amount of heat, it's also very energy efficient, using a good chunk less energy than our previous heater....

I was around at the time, but I went from /. and/or forums to nothing to reddit. I was also about 5-7 years late to reddit...

Hi Lemmy!...

Edit:: looks like things are back up an running. I am now able to view kbin posts here....

I have a problem now that there are some active communities that I have no interest in seeing on my feed. And new ones keep popping up so I have to go in and block them individually. They all have similar keywords and it would be nice if we could block communities based on regexp or a keyword

I get that actors are expensive, but how does it ever get to insane numbers like 350 million (for endgame) and 200 million (for titanic)....

My dad congratuled me about something, and i responded "you're welcome" instead of "thank you".

I’m really bought in to the Lemmy experience and I want others to share similar interests. However, I know they will have a massive amount of questions, and I want to be able to answer them in addition to my own curiosities. Here are a few questions that I have that I am still fuzzy on....

I'm realizing I hadn't actually voted on posts or comments in a long time, perhaps years. Between vote fuzzing and massive vote counts, it began to feel pointless to throw an upvote or downvote into the fray. Like how is my downvote supposed to count against over 1000 upvotes?...

What about leaving the account with all the edited messages? I mean if they don’t care, why should we....

I discovered Lemmy as a reddit alternative once they introduced the api changes, and from what I understand, so did most of the current users. So I was wondering what was Lemmy like before that? Did any notable things or inside jokes happened? If you are one of the old users are you happy with this growth? Is there anything...

I'm a reddit refugee considering spinning up a lemmy instance. I've always been a lurker and I want to be more active in this new community. My biggest deterrent in starting an instance and adding some communities (I know I don't have to have communities on an instance, but I want to!) is moderating users and posts. How much...

This is something I can’t seem to figure out. Let’s just assume that 3rd party apps are the reason reddit is losing money. So, it would make sense that reddit wants to start charging for their API access. But why is the burden on the apps and not the users?

if you have multiple accounts on different Lemmy instances is there a way (a script maybe) that can sync your subscribed communities across the different accounts? say for example, your main instance goes down and you need to login to a different instance but want to see all the same community content

i really loved the reddit place events....

I'm running a standalone Lemmy instance, but I'm not planning to develop or grow a community on said instance since it's mostly to practice my infra and DevOps skills. I would, however, like to subscribe to all communities on other instances, for example, on lemmy.world and several others. Is there an easy way, or can I only...

I want to not have nsfw content in my feed and want to block lemmynsfw. I'm tired of scrolling past barely blurred photos on my phone so I can block a single board when the entire server is dedicated to porn.

Basically what it says in the title. I have two cats, both female, one is 16 and one is about to turn 13. The younger of the two keeps showing up with wet paws, and has always been weirdly fascinated by the toilet. We've caught her in it a few times recently....

Its funny how both Reddit and Twitch announce API or policy changes that creates mass discussion within their respective communities regarding longevity and user experience. Both companies are doing shitty things for the $$$ and simultaneously creating mass exodus(es?) to other platforms....

And if it is possible to correct your vision with the camera lens, can the picture then be printed with the same clarity for the poor vision haver?

Am I the only one with a bunch of communities I'd like to join but with a status still on "Subscribe pending"....

Note: Already hit over 1k subscribers 😝

I've seen keebinetters, but that feels like trying to say Massachusettsian instead of Bay Stater....

You might (or might not) have had a New Year’s resolution, but what’s your summer resolution?...

There's been an influx of content surrounding lemmy here. Some of it is open ended:...
