Hi! I’m British, I like music (grime, garage, hip-hop, R&B, and more!). I like art, culture, history, politics, & doomscrolling memes.
Also a touch of programming :)

That’s basically what the entire philosophy of democratic socialism attempts to answer.
Yes, but it’s also associated with libertarian types who used to populate Reddit back in the day before it became mainstream.
Most of them seem to be moving to discuit, another centralised platform, Lol
ANY internet platform that proclaims itself as a guardian of free speech is either overun by racists, xenophobes and the like or, at the very least, holds a significant number of them. There’s a reason most 2000s internet platforms (e.g, Reddit) eventually dropped ‘Free Speech’ as a policy over time.
honestly reading this, it just sounds to me like he isn’t cut out for community management. It is stressful and hard sometimes, so I get it, but he’s going to kill his own site doing this. I did wonder about this before - it seemed like to me he regularly made changes based on feedback on a whim, and these changes were often rushed without much thinking. Needs to know when to pass the baton elsewhere and stick to development, but alas…
The last comments also speak to someone who’s probably hiding some contrarian views of his own.
Shame.
I’m really confused by this direction? The admin seemed… nice, and all of the users were “let’s all be friends and be postivive x!” type people. Not exactly the place for “free speech” dog wistle folks. He’s just going to alienate his entire userbase, I don’t understand the point.
1·1 year agoI don’t care. They can figure it out or ask, lol.

If you’re on desktop, use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher it’ll automatically rewrite lemmy links so they match your home instance.
You can also paste the link in your lemmy search bar, it should find the post on your instance for you.
Anyway, here it is https://lemm.ee/post/3309035
41·1 year agoI don’t see that on my front-page. You need to curate your own experience on Lemmy just like you do on Reddit. Plenty of Lemmy isn’t metaposting
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active&nsfw=null - list of communities in Lemmy
https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 - list of casual communities to subscribe to to get you started.
if you browse c/all you’re going to see a lot of annoying trash you aren’t interesting in, same as Reddit.
https://lemmy.world/create_community
Some instances don’t allow it, lemmy.world does. Probably not doable in the apps yet so do it in-browser.
anyone remember the “melts vs grilled cheese” drama lol
Obtainium has a setting just for issues like this.
Click on Infinity for Reddit in the app >click edit button bottom left > change Version Detection option to Use Release Date As Version
Your problem is browsing Everything. There’s a lot of content on Lemmy that isn’t meta-posting - you just need to curate your own feed, like on Reddit.
Subscribe to some more casual places for a funner frontpage.
0·1 year agomeh, it’s a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.
Worth noting it is not affiliated with the original dev. This guy forked it and took the name.
I posted twice (2 times), you’ll survive.
