When I first joined ml, I made the mistake of pointing out that China was, regardless of their self-labeling, a communist country.
Whew. I had tons of people losing their minds on me, claiming I was a troll and that I was full of shit. I shared something similar to this, and they basically screamed “fake news” and downvoted.
It’s been so awesome watching this whole thing come together (and so quickly). Thanks for all the hard work that’s been put into this project, and for creating such a great app!...
I mod a community here, and for the last three days posts made to that community have not been showing up outside of this instance. Specifically, I have an account on Lemmy World, and I can’t see any recent posts from the community I mod on that account....
TheDude recently upgraded the server to the most recent version of Lemmy. You’ll notice significant improvements to the user interface, and hopefully the functionality is also improved. There is no official changelog yet because this version is not yet finalized, but I’ll link the GitHub releases page where it should...
Meta/Instagram launched a new product called Threads today (working title project92). It adds a new interface for creating text posts and replying to them, using your Instagram account. Of note, Meta has stated that Threads plans to support ActivityPub in the future, and allow federation with ActivityPub services. If you...
For me, being on the fediverse is an escape from big social. That’s the whole reason I’m here. Conversations are more organic, less restrictive, and generally better. Plus, it has an awesome DIY feel to it.
I don’t want to lose that to Meta’s insatiable hunger for data.
I don’t use MJ much and because of this my tolerance is quite low compared to most people here. When I do use it I often like to get high enough where I can watch a movie and laugh through it (whether it’s funny or not)and mostly understand what’s happening....
I’m pretty casual. I “microdose” it, taking a hit and waiting to see how it goes. Not enough, and I do more. I try to reach a certain feeling then maintain it. I tend to panic if I green out, so I take it slow.
And I mostly smoke indica, since sativa makes me freak out.
Exploding-heads.com is another instance on Lemmy where alt-right MAGA types tend to reside. Some people on this server want us to defederate from them immediately, some people want to save defederation as a last resort. They have 104 active users (more stats below)....
This may be an incredibly stupid question, but don’t we, as individual users, have the option to block/mute instances we don’t want to see content from?
If so, I think that it should be left to the individual, rather than the instance.
I don’t like what I’ve seen from them, or from lemmygrad, so I tend to just ignore it.
Edit: With Memmy (iOS app), you apparently can block communities now.
Ahh crap. Well hopefully in the future, that option to block an instance will be an option for users. I like the idea of users having control over the content they see, rather than it being decided by others.
But, since this isn’t an option available to us now, maybe defederating (if that’s what the majority wants) is the most viable option.
EDIT: It seems that I have may have gotten the wrong impression about the community structure here from the @TheDude comment I listed below. It looks like this should have been posted to The Agora. I appreciate everyone who took the time to respond. Now I must go find fresh air and see if I can find this grass thing that I have...
What is the best anonymous image hosting site? (sh.itjust.works)
For a long time now I have been using imgur, but I got to thinking and wondered if there was a better site....

How does this instance feel about this growing pact against federating with Meta? (fedipact.online)

How high do you like to get?

(Im)patiently awaiting the season to start.
So just curious for everyone here: who’s your team?

iOS 17 dev beta 2
Noticed the community is kind of quiet, so I figured I would ask those who are beta testing iOS 17: how has it been on your device?...
