• 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: 6 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: 9 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: 10 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: 10 months ago

• Ask HN: How to Make News Aggregation Work in 2024?

  When google did this long ago: https://news.google.com/ I knew the new industry was going to collapse. What more do you need from a new aggregator? Journalism was doomed since though. I had tried https://ground.news/ but never stuck with it. I like the idea but it fails at dimension. There is no left vs center vs right in Canada. Politics in Canada and Europe is 3 dimensional at least with wormholes in our... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Ask HN: Is there a website with only short summaries of the most important news?

  Https://news.google.com/ ? It has briefs, read it and close the tab. It’s that simple. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Looking for a way to add local news on a new tab

  If you like the Microsoft one, you can pin www.msn.com and for google its news.google.com. Source: 5 months ago

• Is there a News category that will filter me latest news uploaded on YT?

  What I want to achieve is something like news.google.com but on YouTube, where I can get latest news about business for example, and then pick the topic (eg. Today are TSM stocks in trend, and I want to get all videos from today or yesterday about that topic from a News relevant channels.). Source: 5 months ago

• Google to remove news links in Canada in response to online news law

  If what you were saying were true, i.e. That Canadian news will still be indexed on Google and will only disappear on news.google.com - then why are members of the Liberal government accusing big tech of planning to block Canadian news links? Are you saying that those government officials are spreading misinformation? Source: 10 months ago
