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
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
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
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...

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
AFAIK there was a temp block on Kbin.social from Tankies at lemmy.ml due to a technical issue. That is now resolved and unblocked. Source: 10 months ago
So I have OPNsense running the AdguardHome plugin and NextDNS. AGH is running on the default DNS port, it hands off to Unbound on OPNsense, and uses NextDNS upstream. I am trying to get to lemmy.ml. Originally I saw blocks on NextDNS so I added it to the allowlist (b/c I block .ml TLD) and it started working. Today it isn't, but if I fire up a VPN or use my phone it comes up fine.

How do I send moons to a private wallet? Deleting reddit and moving to lemmy.ml so want to cash out. Source: 10 months ago
Nice. I've seen this a couple times and browsed https://lemmy.ml/ a couple times. Really cool project - I like what they're doing. Source: 10 months ago
That's only for the lemmy.ml instance, you can use another or use kbin. Source: 10 months ago
If people are wondering "But I registered on lemmy.world and then I tried to visit lemmy.ml/c/memes and it wants me to login?!" the answer is that you actually need to visit lemmy.world/c/memes@lemmy.ml - i.e. You add @lemmy.ml to the end of the URL to refer to the lemmy.ml server.

You'll see content from all the other sites in your feed, and you can subscribe to communities that are on other sites like lemmy.ml and you can reply to users in those communities all using your one lemmy.world account. Source: 10 months ago
Now when it comes to the last point, this is only possible if the two servers admins agree to do so. This is called federation. If lemmy.world and lemmy.ml agree to talk to one another, they are federated, if not, they are defedrated and can't talk to one another. So users from each server can't interact unless they go and sign up for the other server. Source: 10 months ago
Sure, but better not lemmy.ml or lemmygrad-those places are infested with tankies and will make us look bad. Lemmy.world. Source: 10 months ago
Good to see the UK does have privacy minded individuals. It's always sad how compared to americans people here are happy to be under the eye of big brother. I look forward to seeing you on r/privacyguides, or if you're checking out Lemmy in protest of reddit, there's a few privacy ones on there! Source: 10 months ago
Urrrgh...I signed up for lemmy with aussie.zone and it won't accept my login for lemmy.ml nor is the community on aussie.zone? Sorry, but this "fediverse" is too segregated for me. Source: 10 months ago
Lemmy.world & lemmy.ml - They run Lemmy so you can only see the Threadiverse. They have a reddit like interface (lemmy), and they have their own community rules but are generally open and accessible to the whole of the rest of the threadiverse. You can sign up there, and access almost all content currently on the threadiverse from those sites. Source: 10 months ago
The account you create can be on *any* lemmy instance. TTRPG.network, lemm.ee, lemmy.ml, and more. All of these instances can talk to each other. Think of these instances like email providers. Gmail can talk to yahoo, which can talk to outlook, etc., but theyre all their own hardware, servers, etc. Source: 10 months ago
There is pretty big one on kbin and iirc there is one on lemmy as well. Source: 10 months ago
While I think Reddit is much more complete as an application, the ones I've looked at (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml) have given me a good browsing experience. Both still have some smaller bugs in need to be addressed though. Source: 10 months ago
So thats the great thing about the fediverse, you arent tied to your federation, like the biggest memes "sub" is on lemmy.ml but I use lemmy.world , all I had to do was go to the communities tab, sort by all and there it was memes on lemmy.ml and I can view it and sub to it from lemmy.world.
