Hello Lemmings (I have no idea what Lemmy users are called) I'm a reddit migrator. I'm still a little confused, but I'd like to learn. How do I find communities? If I want to discuss Warhammer or Steam games, or something like that, what's the best way to find that content? If it matters I am on the phone app.
Did you ever have that feeling on reddit of "I better word my post just right, otherwise AutoMod will take it down"? Some subs had such strict auto moderating that it was a crap shoot to post something. Not so here. I know there's value in moderation, and I'm sure Lemmy/kbin/etc. will add more of it with time. But, for now, it...
@clueless_stoner it'd help if the fedverse was more seemeless. like in wow: realms, zones, and servers all crosstalk without any issue at all. I fail to get how somewhat less competitive but equally socially "challanged" group of people aka geeks and nerds. can't refactor the code to do so. or maybe that's in the works.
@Skovheks When I was a yute I loved the living crap out of jupitor. I'd read book after book on the topic. Well when I was in gradeschool, we had to make a science project that, if built, would work. I naturally decided to make a model of a workable place to live on jupitor. And what a native alien might be like their. What I came up with for a native ended up looking like a cool look pretty large jellfish+elf like humanoid. And guessed (theorized) : as long as they stayed close to the upper bits in very compact, floating homes and cities. they could live their just fine. I think I even devised, a travel system that'd use very compressed gas to go flying around place to place.
lol now many years latter we now know: IF their is humanoidish life proper their: it'd look mostly like a bunch tightly compressed seed pods, and would avoid the redspot like the plague or would die, just about instantly, and no way in hell would it breath oxygen. methane maybe, but basically every gas that deletes human entrails is in it's atmosphere.
@Spitz how do you not know john oliver? he's the guy that look lime a maniquin with a square head thick accent and a beack nose, used to be on john stewart, but now has his on show on hbo.

@millions sounds like it. lol here's the shovel spez. lol keep digging buddy. not that reddit was especially great sometimes. but fuck me running I want slap the living shit out of both you motherfuckers. 10million or something socially inept assholes having a god dam meltdown because of a fucking app, get the fuck over yourselves, book a hotel room get shitfaced and stoned into next centery then go at it like a fucking rabbit. playing dumb, dumber, then car wreck with trucks and dick fucking over inocent users? thats the defination of immature ass fart.
I cannot put into words how profoundly stupid this "feature" is. AOL and Geocities pages were genuinely more user friendly. Whoever added it, refreshed the page and said "yeah, this works well" and left it in should be fired! ...out of a cannon and into the Sun!
I mean there's Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I'm sure there are plenty more (and I haven't even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a...
Uh somethings going on with discord? i know it's alls abouts dat ai. but other then that? oh well I did need to update my userhandle the other day. but then it was a while since I logged in.

@anthoniix pooky trolled some fiminatzis, beehaw had a midlifechrisis and then unfederated. that's it really. why that took a 5 page magnus opus i don't know.
lol ok. so if I'm reading right: members of the Reddit v Mod Refugee's club is giving lemmy and kbin.social the old slashdot effect. And to keep the server from protesting the enormous number of newbies coming. The server admins decided to unlink from other servers who were like: uh what's up bro our instance are being spammed. and kbin.social said: : uuuuh, er uuuh helpme. ok let me turn of content sharing and check the logs.
But you say things should get better?
I'm guessing the specific dates it struggled were around the saturday to monday.
The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2]....
how do I find content/communities

Why on Earth does the Lemmy post feed update itself while I am trying to read it, and how do I stop it from doing that? (streamable.com)

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?
