I wrote this simile explanation of Lemmy intended for millennials / Gen Z who might be familiar with discord. While I could have left it out completely I included a bit of explanation about Lemmy instances in order to highlight why it's different from Reddit or other centralized Reddit-like platforms....

Does anyone have a chaos.social invite link for me?
I have two questions mainly:...

I’d like to explore a project for NLP based search on the fediverse. But I’m a fediverse beginner and am not sure if it’s possible to index fediverse content....
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:...

The real history is much messier—and more inspiring.
I'm just curious, since I tend to get attached to my accounts but I also like having access to all information so I don't want to use a defederated instance.

you all need to improve ur meme game
The longer I use Lemmy the more I run into posting on places where my posts will never reach anyone apart from my own instance. And then there's a growing amount of communities which display normally for me but if I actually open them it shows they were deleted. We desperately need a way to make them send information to all...
Libreddit does this, and it shows a pointer when you hover over the bar/header where the username and upvote count are, to indicate that you can collapse the comment by clicking....
IDK you guys might be interested in the fedi-wide music competition (inspired by Eurovision season) - voting is just DMing the bot... I'm pretty sure even the L/k accounts can do it via message (but I'm not even sure how to access writing one.... I've been receiving them fine though).
Android - I like Fedilab but it deleted my username/pw on upgrade. I have Tusky as a backup.
