I subscribed to a lot of communities I'm interested in a week or so ago. And most of this still say "Subscribe pending". Is it because a moderator has to approve the subscription, or those communities may no longer be federated?
From what I've seen on other posts about this, it's simply a current bug in the system. If it shows Subscribe Pending, you're subscribed successfully, that button just still shows pending even though it's working as it should. And you'll only see this on subs on other federated instances, not on your own.
I'm aware. But when I look at server rules that simply don't apply what-so-ever to the community removals, and these being some of the largest Lemmy instances out there currently, it just makes me concerned about the moderation currently going on.
I said in my post that unless there's rules elsewhere I'm just not seeing, the rules on the main instance sidebars for #3 simply say "no porn". So what does that have to do with conspiracy theory communities?
So... from what I'm getting from that post... everyone likes to talk shit about reddit having a big ownership from a Chinese company that is exerting Chinese censorship on reddit... and now we're (well, I'm registered at lemmy.world, but subscribe to a lot of communities on .ml) sitting here on an alternate site that... is ALSO exerting Chinese censorship! 😂
Wow. Honestly this makes me seriously contemplate my move to Lemmy. I thought lemmy.world was at least a free speech endorsing server. So now we have the two biggest Lemmy instances out there that are clearly against free speech. Lemmy.ml is moderated by pro CCP mods that remove anything anti-china, and lemmy.world can't even tolerate a sub about conspiracy theories (which we should all know have a tendency of coming true the past few years) and is therefore already starting with stifling free speech.
Yeah, go start your own instance... Not everyone wants to run their own instance just to be able to browse communities on other instances that your current instance doesn't agree with.
Yeah... This is really putting a sour taste in my mouth about Lemmy already.
Sure is looking that way already. I had such high hopes for Lemmy being a more open community....but that's already quickly turning out to not be the case.
Well the more worrying part is someone in another response said this was the lemmy.world mods banning those subs from appearing on lemmy.world.
Makes me wonder about lemmy honestly. They're making it very difficult to find an instance that is 1) reliable, 2) open to free speech and thought. With instances randomly blocking others, blocking certain communities, etc...
I mean, am I going to have to spin up my own instance just to browse Lemmy without random censorship of other instances and communities?
This isn't a community where I feel it's appropriate to get into those kind of topics. You're welcome to PM me if you're actually curious what I'm talking about.
But regardless, I was hoping Lemmy would be a good space for free thought. But it's quickly turning out not to be that way.
You do realize that conspiracy is far more than qanon stuff, right? It was an interesting sub to read from time to time on Reddit.
And yeah, I get "just run your own instance", but not everyone wants to deal with their own instance just to be able to freely browse communities without random censorship. I was hoping Lemmy wouldn't be that way. Don't know what it is about some people being so unable to tolerate opposing views from their own...
It's the beauty, but I can also see how it could end up being a negative. So one instance blocks two other instances you like. So you move to a new instance that doesn't. But then it turns out that new instance blocks two different ones that you also like. Can you imagine how as things grow, and with so much potential for selective blocking like this, it could quickly become quite a maze to simply find a place to browse the ENTIRR community, without having to deal with multiple logins across multiple instances?
Yes, I know, opposing viewpoints are something small little minds like your own can't possibly tolerate. Now run back to your safe space where everyone agrees with you and gives you constant validation!
I'm confused on how this works... I'm on lemmy.world, and they list that as a blocked instance on that page... But I can still access beehaw communities no problem from here.
Or it will just kill Beehaw because they're now cut off from most of the other larger lemmy instances. Unless their users are just super loyal for some reason. If I were a member there I would have already jumped ship.
Yeah, I'm kind of wondering where this data is coming from... for instance it lists /r/sysadmin moved to sysadmins.zone... but who decided that? There's literally nothing about that website anywhere on /r/sysadmin on reddit, and that page only has like 20 users on it whereas the sysadmin community here on lemmy has around 1,500 people on it.
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
Phones were designed with non-removable batteries for a reason. It's not just to screw w/ the customer and make them pay someone to replace their phone battery. It's to aid in water resistance and to help with a smaller form factor. This will lead to nothing good. And I'm sure it will carry over to other countries as well as I'm sure a lot of phone manufacturers won't want to make special models JUST for the EU.
Just another example of the EU imposing nonsense regulations that will screw over the rest of the world, like their stupid cookie popup nonsense.
First, that's not true. Tons of websites use non-essential cookies for various functions that have nothing to do with tracking, all of which would be covered under the GDPR and require a cookie popups.
Expecting website operators to run we sites without any analytics and advertising is an absurd expectation. They have to bring in revenue somehow. That's what privacy and ad blocking extensions are for.
Yeah, no, sorry. The EU fucked up the internet for the entire world.
I honestly have no idea why bidets haven't taken off in the US. After travelling to other countries though, had to buy one for my home toilet. And now I hate having to poop elsewhere where there's no bidet.
Why am I seeing "Subscribe pending" on so many communities?

Server rules - am I missing something? (i.imgur.com)
I was glancing through the mod log and saw these two entries. Conspiracy theory communities were both removed for violating rule #3....
Is there any torrent sites that show the newest releases like Rarbg did?
Rarbg actually let me know of new releases quicker than any official site. It's the thing I miss the most about it. Hoping there's something similar.

Someone recently asked if there was a neat way to see where all of the now broken down subreddits moved....
Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

YSK: Installing a bidet attachment to your toilet is super easy and probably cleaner than using toilet paper.
Why YSK: It's cleaner, cheaper and more convenient than toilet paper
