I found this blog post useful for explaining how to interact with Lemmy via Mastodon.

The attack involves stolen cookies. Any Lemmy instance with any custom emojis is vulnerable to this attack. If you run a Lemmy instance, there are steps inside to protect your instance, and some legal details if your instance was impacted.

Just like how every post will include a description of the magazine at the bottom, I think it makes sense to include a description of the instance too....

According to the GitHub of Lemmy, the main reason the name Lemmy was chosen was because of Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, the lead singer from MOTÖRHEAD. This is highly problematic and racist because Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister is an avid collector of Nazi paraphernalia. Social justice warriors and woke NPCs will tell you that you...

A few months ago, this concept of “p92” started leaking and it was rumored that Meta was joining the fediverse. Initially, not much happened with the discussion. I could run around and say “Nope, I’m not defederating” and no one really cared or challenged that position. I made it clear I advocate for user agency;...

With the upcoming #meta #Project92 Fediverse service, this is a plan to fight smarter in how to both protect our users, and how to be better battle plan to protect the Open Social Web.

Instances, of course, have some bot-mitigation tools which they can use to prevent signups, etc....

There are now 3 additional sorting options, allowing you to sort by Top posts in the last 1, 6 and 12 hours....

Feel free to ignore this, this is a test post as I navigate and learn kbin. I like the fact that I can create a post for any magazine from anywhere, though I do wish that the Magazines themselves had a create a post option.

This is Fosstodon's official stance on the whole Facebook joining the Fediverse debacle.

Hey All,...

One of the things I like the fediverse is the oppposition to unhealthy social media use. I think infinite scrolling is one of the worst things about mainstream social media. Even when youre consciously against it, it is very hard not to forget and get consumed by the infinite scrolling....

The real history is much messier—and more inspiring.

Think about it: Lemmy provides you with a ready-made frontend and backend --- all you have to do is host your own instance of it. The following could all have been implemented as Lemmy instances, had it existed at the time:...

news from Lemmy

On mobile, no matter which instance I browse in, and no matter what I sort by (top day, active, etc.), after a bit of scrolling I suddenly get an influx of recently created posts that spams the whole page, and I can't continue scrolling because the spam just keeps going. I'm not even sorting by new....

Hey folks, I stumbled upon a big issue with Lemmy and Kbin. You know how we used to search stuff on Google like 'why feet smell site:reddit.com'? Well, turns out I can't do that for Lemmy and Kbin... yet. Maybe the crawlers haven't caught up yet but I have a feeling it's due to the nature of the fediverse. I mean, I'm not even...

So I notice that KBIN and BEEHAW and LEMMY all have duplicate pages dedicated to the same content. Are we as a community going to have to decide which page will be the 'main' page, will we have to subscribe to each magazine for each instance, or will they consolidate eventually?...

Why does Mastodon censor people worse than Twitter over hurt feelings? It seems multiple servers or instances prefer to ban account for using a bad word, rather than be an adult and let each person decide if they want to engage or not. Even going so far as ban an entire instance from other servers for not being nice....

On Reddit, communities could have their own wikis or knowledge base articles in a separate place from where the discussion happened. I don't see that kind of functionality in Kbin, so I'm wondering if there is a federated wiki type of thing somewhere out there.
