@Spzi That's a tool made and hosted by kiwifarms. It's not something to be sharing around

I always knew my gender was "wrong". It was a workmate (and now close friend) transitioning that made me realise that my gender being "wrong" meant that I'm trans, and that transition was possible.

As for my orientation, that was a much longer and more confusing journey. It brought me so much more pain and uncertainty than my gender ever did. I've given up trying to find the right labels, but that's more an admission of defeat than ownership of who I am.

@beto It might be a good idea to not do that thing that happened with Mastodon, where everyone thinks the Mastodon is the Fediverse. There is more to the than just lemmy!

I run too, so the only way I was able to find the time for cycling was by making it my commute

As an instance admin, the instances that I block are explicitly ones that I don't want my users to be able to subscribe to for any reason because they are full of bigotry and hate.

If I have a user that really wants to subscribe to a blocked instance, then chances are my instance is the wrong one for them.

Thanks for these. I haven't really played with mods before, but these look like they're right up my alley

I added them all last night. I'm part way through a playthrough so I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes, but I'm really liking Community Flavor Pack and Prisoner's of War. Having to move prisoners and commanders around is great. I'm also playing in Africa at the moment, and the flavor pack has really brought the area to life!

@orbit I've been play from Countess Daurama Daura of Kano in 867, as she has a scripted event that lets you play as female preference from the start. There is also an achievement related to starting as her, called Mother of Us All, but I'm not trying to get that one, as it involves religious conversion, and that's not my favourite part of the game

Finding an instance that blocks least and is least blocked

Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it's blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any...

Ada,

tbh, there is no such instance. Not blocking any other instances is often a reason to be blocked by other instances.

An instance that blocks no one is in effect a "free" speech instance that prioritises the right to be bigoted over the need to provide safe spaces for folk. And that means that instances that value the need for safe spaces over "free" speech are going to block the instances that don't block anyone else as a means of creating and maintaining that safe space.

@Percy It's not ideal, but you can also manually form the URL to load the instance if it's not yet turning up in a search.

Basically the format is like this

mylemmy.domain/c/remotecommunityname@remoteinstance.name

So to view !projectzomboid from my home lemmy instance of blahaj.zone, I would type the following

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

And to view it from lemmy.one, you would type the following (though I can't test this one)

https://lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

@Percy Several people on lemmy.one seem to be having similar issues. It might just be a load thing

@Generator And just like Mastodon and the fediverse at large, after initial growing pains, we will find a way

@Designate6361 We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning.

@gun There is talk of allowing user to group multiple communities together in to a sort of virtual community.

@Poot @bacteriostat

Ada,

@Kichae As I understand it, the proposal is basically just an interface thing at the user level. So a user can choose to display multiple technology groups from different instances together.

@Poot @bacteriostat @gun

@knova You have to search for the remote community and subscribe to it. It will then appear in the list of communities you can choose from when you are composing a new post

@pe1uca @count0rlok

One great thing I just realized, there isn't the need for constant rage bait posting

Every time I look at reddit or twitter they're designed to be filled with the most vile or annoying posts imaginable to keep you scrolling and this place just... doesn't have that. It's relieving to not be inherently angry just scrolling through new posts

Ada,

Just like moving away from twitter

Ada,

This is the way

og, to fediverse

Who uses ?

Ada,

@og Lemmy and more recently, kbin!

Ada,

You can create communities on your local instance, and they will be available to everyone else on the fediverse! You don't need to host your own instance to create a community

@Tammanytiger I created that sub this morning :) @crusaderkings

@Percy

Ada,

@Garrathian You have to search for it on your instance.

@crusaderkings@kbin.social

@Percy @Tammanytiger

https://browse.feddit.de/ to find new groups to follow. My default view is set to communities that I subscribe to, sorted by new comments (though I will likely change that to new as growth continues).

After I've been through the stuff I subscribe to, I have a look at everything else

@GuyDudeman Time to get learning then ;)

@Woedin

Upvote vs like

Graphics/UI and #ux are one side of the project, UX that is combined with functionality and design is a slightly different story. Looking at the project from the beginning I was wondering about the sense of mixing upvotes and likes. Of course, I know that this from the functionality of federated applications, but also in them...

@wjmaggos I don't like your chances there. The last thing I want on my main Fediverse timeline is voting.

It fits here because that's the platform, but for me at least, I have very different content and experiences on different platforms and I'm not keen on diluting that.
