• Moderation on Lemmy is a fucking joke

  A few weeks a go I posted a meme with the caption "My wife out-drinking everyone at the table-- Our unborn son:" [picture of Tom the cat in the womb]. I understand abortion is a touchy subject for some people, but it's not like I was advocating for or against abortion. After that, I posted a meme complaining about the lack of specificity of the rules on Lemmy and that post also got removed. That's enough to let me... Source: 7 months ago

• This whole lemmy universe has me quite confused, but I would like to utilize it. seeking assistance

  Im using the Jeroba app on android first of all. It just seems like lemmy is a complete and total mess. So many contradicting things Im seeing. And then theres instances and communities but apparently it "doesn't matter what instance you choose because you'll still have access to all other communities anyway". Well that is pretty much false. Like using lemmy.world for example. I'll search up for a linux community... Source: 10 months ago

• I’m a fan of Squabbles, but the constant circlejerk over the developer is turning me off the site

  Signing up isn't complicated, people just get confused by what "federation" means... It doesn't matter what instance (or "server" if it's easier to understand) you sign up for. I'm on lemmy.world but I post and comment on lemmy.ml and 10-15 other instances all the time. Think of instances as "copies" with different users and posts, but they all interact with each other (with a few exceptions). Source: 11 months ago

• I'm so lost. Is there an easy mode to the fediverse?

  Whereas the top three on my subscribed feed are from [Games@lemmy.world](mailto:Games@lemmy.world), [gaming@lemmy.ml](mailto:gaming@lemmy.ml) and [gaming@beehaw.org](mailto:gaming@beehaw.org). My subs on lemmy are mostly related to video games, but this points out something that confuses some folks coming over from Reddit - lemmy.ml and beehaw.org both have communities named "gaming" and they are separate...

• Division of labour : rest should be fair

  Lemmy has a lot of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, but you donnot need to register on all of them just register on one, and you can access all of them. Source: 11 months ago

• Comment Notifications Without Comments

  I'm a long-time Ello member (@dickiesaul). Lately I notice many of my posts indicate a comment has been made, but I don't see any either with the post or on the notifications list. The ello.co site isn't much help with support questions. Anyone else seeing this? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Does anyone have any opinion or experience with the platform Ello?

  I'm talking about this platform. I heard about them a few years back when they started, but I think you needed an invite to be part of them. Now it seems you can make an account and share your work without invite. Source: about 2 years ago

• How to discover new art and follow artists you love when social media makes you sick?

  Many have suggested sites that are art focused. Let me add ello.co which I think woudl be a good fit for you. It is social media with an intense art focus. Full disclosure, while I love the concept I haven't been able to get myself to use it much. It feels disjointed to me. Source: about 3 years ago
