There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!

I mean, there are communities for funny stuff, but at least speaking of the ones I stumble upon on my main feed, a significant portion of the funny posts is rather old/recycled. Could be just my feed, though.
Unless there are communities I've missed, all the bigger communities post stuff one degree removed from advice animals. Maybe I need to look for the smaller communities

I gotta say, I respect what Lemmy does and hope it succeeds, and I think it's a good place for discussions and such (and I will remain), but good god if this place isn't unfunny as hell. I'm struggling real hard to find some place with actually funny content on here, which leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics.
One of the problems with the way federation currently works is if I block US politics on one instance, I still get it en masse from other instances.
Before activity pub, all that duplication of threads would’ve been handled by moderators merging them together. Actually, it wouldn’t even have been so necessary since userscan see the existing thread and just post underneath that.
When blocking a community, we really need a check box to allow us to block the same community on all instances.

This post did not contain any content.

Fuck Reddit and fuck Trump!

Same. Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy. Both awesome. Sync is my main, on the free plan.
I have Sync for reddit and sync for Lemmy on my phone, it's confusing as hell but I can't complain lol

calling an instance with a large amount of trans people an "insane asylum" is such a telling thing. Go back to reddit you abelist transphobe
Yeah because there's absolutely no other reason that place would give off that impression, nosiree

Referring to trans people as "insane" for being trans is transphobic, and a bit ableist. I'm not talking about your personal experience, but your presumably unintentional transphobia.
I was referring to the posts, if you read my original comment I said nothing about trans or gender identity whatsoever. Hexbear when I signed up did not advertise itself as "trans only" or "trans centric" or anything gender related, so I was not aware. Please help me understand where you are getting those ideas. If anything it seems like if I consider a community similar to my behavioral health clinic experiences to be "transphobia" then you are insulting them as well. Again, we never discussed gender identity in the clinics.

Hexbear isn't "trans only," however according to surveys is about 50% trans/nonbinary, and is regularly pitched as one of the 2 largest trans positive instances, alongside Blahaj.zone.

Welcome!
If you're new, I definitely recommend checking out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for finding new communities to subscribe to, rather than just browsing "all". There are a lot of weird communities out there when you just browse "all"...
Block the weird communities if you dislike them so much.

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .world account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]
Solidarity amongst the instances! We will not be divided against each other!

Hmm yes, century+ old books that predate the CCP coming into power by like 25 years and well before modern age concerns like the power of the internet could even be imagined
Y'all keep arguing theory with books that are incredibly dated and blog posts based on that dated info when most of us are talking about what the Chinese and Russian governments are doing today.
Books have an expiration date?

My guess is robe crimes

Same. Someone’s gotta help feed the modlog.
I love how the mod log is so accessible for all to see.

One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.
However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary 'Reddit'-needs.
Lemmy needs a "all" option for communities with the same name so you can, for instance, browse across all the fediverse's gaming communities.
-
I'd be here more if I didn't need to re-log in every few pages. It's annoying, and I haven't found a solution.
"What?! Logged out again?! Well, screw it, at least Reddit doesn't log me out every time I refresh a page."
That would be a switch to a different app on like the 2nd offense to me.
Or buy a new computer offense. You got something going on there, and it's not the site itself.

The admins have a long history of banning people across the entire instance who are critical of China, North Korea, Cuba etc. That said, you should be fine and if you're happy with the instance then there's no reason to move. Some users like to make a bigger deal out if it than it really is.
The "ml" in the domain is supposed to represent "Marxist Lennist" which the ideology the instance is aimed at.
The modlog is public for all to see. You can see mine by pressing the three dots on this comment.
So it shouldn't be an issue for you to give us examples.
-
hey mister, sorry you have such a hard time with the concept that other people have standards
He can just block the instance whenever he wants so he doesn't have to worry about how others run their instance. I wonder why he chooses not to...
-
Yeah. All I said was fuck Trump anally. I got permanently banned. Account of 10 years.
