I don't get why big companys are afraid of open source software....

I never really cared about upvotes and downvotes, but I liked that my comments and participation meant something to someone at one time or another. I liked that when I posted a comment or asked a question people could look through my post history to learn more about me and answer accordingly. More than anything I miss my saved...

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

I had been feeling a bit drawn in to reddit for the past few months before the divorce. I feel like the slower pace at which content comes out on Lemmy is good for me in that way. I can’t just scroll and scroll and scroll my entire day away....

People like to say that bitcoiners are speculators, gamblers etc. But what is not owning Bitcoin?...

I figured we could all share some of the cooler things we've done to get the conversation moving in here....

Ich suche nach einem E-Reader, für Romane und vllt mal wissenschaftliche Publikationen (als pdf). Habt ihr da Empfehlungen?...

This is a community for any ideas or questions you have towards an idea while baked

This Lemmy community is looking for moderators. If you wish to become a moderator, please message me or leave a comment in this thread.

Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)...

a small difference, but important to how people use the site

I’m digging anarchists’ more hands on, pragmatic approach to politics. I finished The Conquest of Bread a couple of weeks ago and I’m currently working my way through Bullshit Jobs. Any suggestions about theory, praxis, mutual aid, etc. would be appreciated

Currently, on the main instance, people have created 40191 accounts (+214 marked as deleted). I don't know how many are active because I don't monitor it, but once again, I greet all of you here :) In recent days, the traffic on the website has been overwhelming. It's definitely too much for the basic docker-compose setup,...

The apps have all gone offline, welcome aboard to all the other refugees, fuck /u/spez!

i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!

I feel stupid for asking, but how did the trans community decided that the giant shark Blajah will become their favourite plushie ?...

Is it something you aim for, or is it something you completely disregard?

Based on this...

I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...

A lot of us are pretty new to the fediverse and we've arrived just in time to grapple with what is easily the biggest federation/defederation controversy ever to hit it. I've put this thread together to hopefully help communicate some of the more complex ideas that we're trying to get our heads around....

A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...
