@lemmy_support I've been trying to sign up for Lemmy since last night. I've tried Lemmy.one, Behave. Lemmy.word, and 1337lemmy. In all my attempts, I complete the sign up form. When I click on the sign up button, it turns into a 3/4 circle spinning, and never progresses from there. Is there something I could be possibly doing wrong?
That sounds like the right approach. I've found if a server is too overloaded, then it gives you the spinning circle when trying to sign up. I'd recommend trying to make an account on a smaller instance and see if that works.
Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it...
Have you found kbin to be a good interface for interacting with mastodon or pixelfed? I think I have a dream of one platform to interact all the other popular fediverse platforms, but maybe that’s not realistic.
Ah, neat that it works with mastodon too. I get confused why I need so many different accounts in the fediverse (one for lemmy, one for mastodon, etc.). I would think that since they’re all federated together one single account could comment on all the different platforms. But it seems like you need separate accounts because you need access to separate UIs to interact with each platform.
Hi, I have joined and have a particular interest in the photography community c/photography but the moderator has deleted their account. Please could I become the moderator of this community?
Thanks for laying out this analogy. I agree with your sentiment and think it extends outside of the internet too. When I think of different scenes in the real world, they feel like they’ve all fallen into either super corporate places where you’re encouraged to spend money or meetup groups with no personality.
I try to view my community hosted on https://sopuli.xyz from any other instance like lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, lemmy.one, etc and all I get is 404: couldnt_find_community. Does my community need to meet some requirements first?
My partner and I made this wee tunnel house out of dumped hothouse plastic, old vineyard netting, polypipe we found in the forest, and old fence posts. We had to buy some timber for the framing and zip ties to hold the materials together but we got to make use of so many dumped materials....
I only joined the main Lemmy instance a couple of days ago, but browing by new, there's a pretty consistent stream of new posts now, even compared to the first day I was on here. I'm excited for this community.
I suspect over time as more people interact with communities, certain ones will precipitate out as the most popular. The others would still exist with different subcultures but it would be easier to follow the main threads on a community.
Never rely on any cloud service! A good cloud based password manager is end to end encrypted meaning the password manager provider cannot access your passwords and they are secured from the provider and any compromise of the provider. But you do not only need confidentiality but also reliability. The cloud is just someone else's...
Even though you don’t know what code is running on their server, the bitwarden client used to communicate with their server is open source & auditable. End-to-end encryption only requires that the client code is trustworthy.
Ah got it thanks. Then does the !community I’m posting to just act as a tag to stay organized and help others find the post? Or is it used in the federation of the post to other servers?
For example, from my account on beehaw.org I post to !lemmy_support. This writes to beehaw.org’s database and lets lemmy.ml know about the new post (lemmy.ml saves a copy). Do other instances who have a user subscribed to !lemmy_support reach out to lemmy.ml to get a list of posts under that community? Or do other instances reach out to beehaw.org to see if there are any posts to !lemmy_support?
I guess I’m mostly just confused on how !communities are used in the federation process.
Thanks for writing this up. I believe that intention also matters. Although there’s no difference in terms of the contribution towards suffering, I would treat myself and others differently between accidentally eating non-vegan food vs willingly eating the same food.
I also think it’s important to consider the use of animal products in society. In your wool example, do you believe you have a responsibility to instead donate the wool to avoid others from purchasing wool that does lead to harm? As long as non-vegan societies exist, is it possible for the use of any animal product to be ethical?
Practically, in the real world, I find it easier to draw the line at avoiding the use of all animal products. Even if there may exist animal products that are ethical to use, I find it easier to adhere to the simpler principal of total avoidance. I also think total avoidance helps contribute towards activism. Being seen using animal products, however they were obtained, may enables other to legitimize their own use of animal products.
Some/most servers only allow admins to create new communities (sub-forum). You can create any communities you want on your own instance and those communities can be accessed from other servers.
This site is currently struggling to handle the amount of new users. I have already upgraded the server, but it will go down regardless if half of Reddit tries to join....
I like the idea of decentralizing identity. One of the oddest things about the current fediverse is how closely tied accounts are to servers that host specific content. From the server’s perspective it would be like everything’s posted anonymously except all the messages are pgp signed.
But how would the system handle user customization settings? Things like blocked users or subscribed topics. Would that all need to be stored locally in your browser and parsed by the arbitrary instance you’re using?
And what if some instances want to refuse hosting certain content on the network. Maybe there’s some way defederating instances could account for that.
Instance relocation
I'm planning to move my instance to a new VPS provider that will allow me to scale more simply....
Consider redirecting www.lemmy.one to lemmy.one?
It looks like www.lemmy.one lands on a default nginx page. Maybe it makes sense to redirect to lemmy.one?

Request an unmoderated community

How do we deal with similar communities on different Lemmy instances?
Say what you will about reddit, at least an established subreddit was the place to gather on the topic, ie r/technology etc....
Why can't my community be found from other Lemmy instances?

What is the ethical backing behind your vegan beliefs?
For You...
People who think Lemmy is too political and refuse to join is good.
