Might be much but so far:...

So, if I want to post something on, say, the Technology community o. Midwest.Social, is it good/bad etiquette to also post it on the Technology community on another instance like Lemmy.ml or beehaw.org?

it’s little annoying. is there same behavior on other web apps? i want to try them sometime but i better to know before trying them all.

So theres a warning "Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content." which doesnt make sense to me when creating a post....

I don't want to come off as preachy, and I love the waves of new users. I'm just concerned about the stability of the Lemmy userbase if the highest commented posts stay "I'm leaving reddit" and "things reddit did" type threads....

Not sure I've actually seen one but would love to try to create one. Are there any samples/guides about it?

I'm on sh.itjust.works, but I wanna browse local posts on lemmy.world from my own instance without using their url. Is there such a feature?

When you upload an image in the URL bar when creating a post, where does it go? Are they hosted on the respective Instance of the community?

I am new and trying to understand how Lemmy works. I am posting this from my lemmy.world account, on a lemmy.ml community. It seems like you can read, post, subscribe to whatever community outside of the instance you're registered with. So... Why register on lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml or any other instance, if all communities are...

I want to make a bot to crosspost most voted news/links from Reddit. I'm interested in crypto and economics. It will be allowed?

So, how? How can I take my data with me as a back-up and leave? How can I migrate and upload that back-up to another instance, saving me from resubbing to a plethora of disparate communities repeatedly should I wish?

Hi ! I'm new here! So far I'm liking what I see! I saw on the github page there a Solarized Theme but I'm not finding it in setting, can you explain me how to get it or how it works?

For me its having a single instance that indexes all the communites to which all other instances can then pull that information from so when I go searching for communities the I’ll have access to every single one with needing to post the entire URL in the search bar

I have registered an account on SDF's Lemmy server. Can I use this account to log in to other servers, or do I need a separate account for each server?

The way I use reddit is usually for recommendations, reviews, technical problems, etc. One main way to do this is to search a subreddit or all of reddit to see if the answer is already there. Is there a way to have a similar search on Lemmy ? I can't seem to get this to work. It only searches for communities and not posts within...

What an absolute shit show. Brace yourselves for a massive influx.

Most communities that I see have very straightforward names like 'asklemmy'. I have also seen '/c/showethoughts'. What does the '/c/' mean here?

When I logged in today, I noticed that I had 3 pending registrations on my instance. I haven't really come up with any rules, any moderation policy....really anything....

Does anyone have a go-to recipe?

I try to avoid travelling by airplane, given the environmental impact of all that flying. But tomorrow I have to fly for work....

I would like to try making a few minor changes to the CSS in either kbin or lemmy both of which I've been trying out. I favor a more dense interface and think styles could help visually separate different kinds of content. Maybe to reorganize some stuff if I got more ambitious....

The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

Specifically, I'm trying to post (an image) to boston@lemmy.ml from my account on kbin.social. The post shows up on kbin.social, but when I go to https://lemmy.ml/c/boston, it doesn't seem to be there. Is there something special I need to do to ensure it's viewable?

Alright! So one fine day I decided to check the Fediverse out and eventually joined mastodon. I've downloaded the Megalodon app on my phone and everything. And now I'm at a loss on what to do with it. In reality, how do you use Mastodon? I've never used Twitter before, so I'm completely new to this form of social media. All I...

Hey all, if you notice any comments that clearly don't belong here please hit the report button! In the next few days I will be checking in every few hours to ensure this community is in tip top shape....
