hey don’t act like its a bad thing, i was getting tired of my home page being beans and only beans
Yeah me as well, it went on for way too long IMO. It was funny the first day or so, but afterwards... not so much.
"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.
I am confident that beans will be less cringy than bacon and narwals when we look back on this time.
Ha! Last night when I wanted to look at some NSFW content I was thinking to myself. Man, I wish we had multi-reddits.
You pretty much need a separate account for NSFW stuff because the major instances seem to be defederating with the ones that have porn.
If you're using Jerboa, you add multiple accounts to it and switch between them in the hamburger menu.
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.
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.
The new one is are we defererating from Threads.
Not in ML of course, but the discussion goes on on other instances.
Second correction: "I speak on behalf of everyone here when I say we absolutely must, please have it done by tomorrow morning thanks."
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.
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.
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
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.
The days of overclocking your CPU so that your pr0n would load faster TT__TT and we used emojis like that. Those were dark days, but people learned a lot about CPU cooling.
Like how a room cooling fan with the legs removed and leaned on the case with the side panel removed can really help... A LOT!
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.
- well actually this is well documented on GitHub
- Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name
- if you were around when Digg...
- lemming
- Lenny
- Margot Robbie
- GDPR
- security incidents
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.

If you're using an app, instances like pornlemmy.com wont work. They say it's because theyve made so many changes to the layout. I use Connect for Lemmy, and have been able to circumvent this by making an account on pornlemmy.com and logging in via my app, now I have all my needs satisfied. (Also kind of convenient as now it stays separated from my main feed)
lemmynsfw.com and pornlemmy.com. someone also pointed out booty.world, but it's currently not working.
How are you forget about the glorious beans!!
Handsome Beanward would have your head if he wasn’t a warm and beany ruler.
50 lashes in the bean dungeon for you!
Was aiming for Handsome Squidward and a beans love child but I’ll accept Beanbutt any day.
:::Posting that article on "how to destroy a decentralized network" in the comments, over and over
Well as long as there's still people who think that federating with Threads wouldn't be disastrous, people are going to have to post things that explains why it would and presumably that specific one is a good one 🤷
True, but not being worried at all after reading about it happening several times before in extremely similar situations isn't disagreement.
It's misunderstanding or burying your head in the sand at best, doing PR work for the ones about to do it again at worst.
Lemmy devs are/aren't tankies
What does the ml stand 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.
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
You know, if that's truly the only reason and it turns out I'm wrong I'll gladly eat that L, and it would be a relief. I've just heard some iffy things specifically about it all.
EDIT: it's stuff like this that I'm talking about.
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
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.
You sure are smart if you know it better than the developers THEMSELVES who said they picked .ml for no particular reason.
I’m not going to click a random link you sent me, esp. considering what’s been going on.
Good try tho lmao
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 dare you make a meta meme about Lemmy without mentioning the beans or the 3 days no poop challenge!
