Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday....

There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making....

I've been talking to many people about the controversy with Reddit, why I left it and why I went onto Lemmy, Kbin and Mastadon instead. Some of my friends have commented that the control is still a problem as other platforms and it is all dependent on who owns the software, who owns the hardware, who are the admins, who are the...

@bot has been subject to multiple reports from our users over the last while....

Hi Everyone!...

I’ve seen that some instances have already done it preemptively.

Now it’s a matter of sustaining and slow growth. Hopefully. Best thing you can do to see Lemmy succeed is participate: comment, post, doomscroll All+Top Hou ;)...

It’s been on the back-burner for a bit but it’s time that I get on it and register our operation as a on-profit organization. We will be registering under the BC Societies Act. Completing this registration will allow for opening up a bank account under the organization’s name and reopen donations and have the previously...

Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the census! This was an exciting year, and for a lot of users it was their first year on lemmy.ca (and the fediverse in general)....

Hello everyone!...

EDIT: Census is now closed. I should hopefully have results out by mid January!...

Hello all! 👋...

Hi folks, out of pure curiosity, I was poking some graphs....

This is a little late, but I figure that it’s better late than never!...

I noticed this Wealthsimple Community pop up in my “active” list today....

They been redirecting to lemon party and some weird video. Do not go to the website. This is the admin that been hacked: https://i.imgur.com/GbYyrBL.jpg...

Release Notes...

I’m planning on upgrading lemmy to v0.18.0 tonight, probably around 9pm CDT. So there will be a bit of downtime, but I don’t think it should take too long....

Heads up that we’ve bumped the UI up to 0.18.2-rc.1, which should resolve the current exploit that was seen on lemmy.world....

Please stop talking about reddit. If you want this to be the next reddit, I beg of you to stop mentioning it. Otherwise all this placewill be is a temporary hold over until we all just fall back on what we know cause we keep hammering in the name into our brain over and over again. I think the same sort of thing happened with...

As you may have already noticed, 3 new admins have been added. Welcome @TruckBC , @Shadow , and @Jarcode! There are also many more people that are helping behind the scenes as well. They have many years of experience moderating various subreddits, and I believe that they can bring lemmy.ca to the next level....

Just curious as this is all fun and open till it scales to expensive. What is the lemmy.ca plan to sustain / fund it self?...

I'm new to the Fediverse and I'm still trying to understand how this all works. While browsing the All/Federated home page, I saw some posts which seemed to be pornographic. It got me thinking about the rules of Lemmy instances. Lemmy.ca has a "no porn" rule. Hypothetically, if I were to use my Lemmy.ca account to post porn on...

Alien.top’s raison-d’etre is to create bots and repost things from Reddit....
