Where is “Petition to defederate from X because Y?”
Did you really… forget the beans already??
damn that was annoying for a few days
The free space in the middle can just be “BEANS”
“Can we have something like multireddits please”
“Can someone explain how the Fediverse works”
“I’m making a new Lemmy app”
“I can’t wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app”
“Wtf is a tankie”
“Rule”
“[A meme about being trans]”
“[A meme about being neuro-atypical]”
“[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]”
“I miss Apollo”
PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I’m just poking fun at trends I’m seeing emerge.
For the record, most of us prefer the term Neurodivergent.
Fucking Beans.
The beauty of lemmy is that it is open source. Anyone knowing a bit of rust and/or typescript can contribute. I’m sure multilemmies will be implemented sooner rather than later.
Though, although rust is a beloved language, it’s hard to get into. A backend in typescript or python would attract a lot more developers just based on the fact that these are higher level languages. Performance would take too much of a hit though.
Ha! Last night when I wanted to look at some NSFW content I was thinking to myself. Man, I wish we had multi-reddits.
What exactly is a multi Reddit? Used to use Reddit before this and have never used one to my knowledge
Separate subscription lists with its own feed. Like you can have one where you only subscribe to cats subreddits and will not appear in the main feed, but will apear in the cat feed.
I remember when they introduced it, like 8 years ago. And it was some big important feature and everyone loved it.
I never used it.
I think it’s honestly far more useful for Lemmy, where multiple communities may not only have similar themes but have the same name.
“Everyone here is so much nicer than on <insert massively popular mainstream platform here>”
Which honestly became not true pretty much right away - any post about anything remotely controversial or political has just as much toxicity as reddit did imo
Yeah, it’s almost as if it’s people who were the problem all along 😀
Doing my best to change that :)
Have you met Biggus_Dickus yet?
What’s so funny about Biggus_Dickus?
He’s married to Incontinentia_Buttocks.
Ive got a vewwy good frend in wome called Biggus_Dickus.
Me too :)
Fucker
Maybe I’m just older and have been on the internet longer, but it doesn’t feel as much like the “early days” as it does feel like when I first came to Reddit after Digg died (without ever having been a Digg user; it just was a coincidence that I discovered Reddit because of the hubbub).
I’ve been online since 1990 tho. I was literally there for the beginning of the “World Wide Web.” The true Wild West of the internet.
Back before music piracy was a thing; because who’s going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you’d have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.
I remember spending all day downloading files from a Quake server because I happened upon a server running Team Fortress and had to download the mod. On a 28.8k dial-up modem. It was like 500MB or something.
Then of course when I get into the game, it’s on ctf_crosstheborder and was the most confusing thing I had ever encountered.
Yeah, more like that early Wild West pioneering feeling of the early days of the internet, this feels more like a bunch of tourists moving from their previous fully equipped hotel because of a shitty management to some new hotel which is still partly under construction and everyone, including the management, are still trying to figure out where everything belongs.
Do you even telnet?
Gopher 🥳
Kermit?
Jerboa’s last update fixed alot for me. It is pretty annoying to open the app and see a bunch of post about lemmy. Kind of like opening Minds and half the posts are people circle-jerking to the fact that they are on Minds. Like, cool, I’m here too… now why am I here? Post something interesting.
You forgot “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” Literally every thread about Meta or reddit.
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, Enshittify
And yet people still want to federate with meta for some reason
Lemmy devs are/aren’t tankies
What does the
mlstand for in lemmy.ml? I don’t think the instance is based out of Mali…My brain jumped to “machine learning” initially. I never considered the alternative until explicitly pointed out.
Marxism-Leninism
Source? Or just a haha funny?
No, it’s true. Ask the devs or anyone at lemmygrad.ml, this is the reason why .ml was picked as a TLD. They don’t hide that they’re communists, look at their avatars on GH.
ML domains are also free, for the record - but that makes sense. Thanks again for clarifyin
Mali, one of the cheaper TLDs
Also know for having one of the highest malware count for a TLD. I migrated from it a few years ago because of that.
I would assume it is because you can get free (though super bare bones) .ml TLD, though you do have to pay a little if you want some TLD comforts.
Yeah, that’s the exact situation. I personally chose to pay $5-10 per year and use a less sketchy domain for my stuff.
How familiar are you with TLDs?
Yes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
It stans for Marxist-Leninist.
Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page!
br, .co.in, and ml tlds must be pretty cheap for people because I see them all the time on threat feeds. ML is indeed the Malaysia tld
Edit: Mali not Malaysia lmao. I also looked it up, turns out the company that owned the tld gives em out for free
A quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such.
But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it’s as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.
Not sure why you would favor political reasoning for site that’s not even sorta politically based over economic reasoning (despite it being a free service) but that’s alright you’re allowed to have your own opinions
It’s stuff like this that makes me think so.
I’m not going to click a random link you sent me, esp. considering what’s been going on.
Good try tho lmao
The devs are communists by political orientation and .ml is selected for a specific reason, not cuz it’s cheap or free. lemmygrad.ml is also their instance, but lemmy.ml was made to accomodate to a crowd that may not share their political views.
Excellent explanation, I wasn’t aware of lemmygrad, thank you for the clarification
You sure are smart if you know it better than the developers THEMSELVES who said they picked .ml for no particular reason.
Plenty of tropes available to fill up the card:
Lemmy is becoming reddit, reeeeee!
Elon Musk Hate.
Are we still doing X?
My breakup letter to reddit.
Repost ancient memes as if its new and clever.
The ancient memes are great though. Like be honest, you laughed at the stupid 2001 meme
Don’t forget “Lemmy feels higher quality than reddit” followed by several hot posts that are compressed and re-reposted memes with pixel densities low enough to count.
And the “I’m glad Lemmy doesn’t have the reddit hivemind” followed by posts with whole threads of comments straight out of reddit “AmericaBad” thought train.
Pretty much, all of these things can be summed up by “suddenly acting better than reddit while acting identically”, I guess.
I admit I haven’t figured out where all the porn is hiding.
lemmynsfw.com, your instance may have defederated with it. Supposedly many are because they don’t want it on their server.
I feel like this is a major oversight to how lemmy works. I feel like instances should be able to maintain overall federation, but ‘disable’ another instance by default, so that it’s virtually invisible unless a user turns it on themselves. NSFW tag is way too broad, it encompasses so much more than porn
The concern is often not preventing their users from seeing the content but preventing their servers from “hosting” to the content for liability reasons.
lemmynsfw.com and pornlemmy.com. someone also pointed out booty.world, but it’s currently not working.
I am glad that i realised I could just block the tankies instead of arguing with them
lol although enshittification doesn’t really apply to Lemmy, so it isn’t meta
I believe they are taking about the meta discussions, where I have seen this term frequently.
Of course, it is used in the context of Lemmy’s peers and not Lemmy itself.
- Should we/let’s defederate with X?
I think we should federate with Heinz and their beans
Wait? We haven’t already?
Correction: “Please tell me we are going to”
Second correction: “I speak on behalf of everyone here when I say we absolutely must, please have it done by tomorrow morning thanks.”
And “How do I block an entire instance”
