"[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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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 🤷
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.
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.
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.
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.
My only question is if they’re tankies then why even leave Reddit? That’s like a stoner moving to a state where weeds legal then leaving because there’s too much weed.
Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.
Nope, not blocked. There's not actually that many of them, but they were one of the few established communities on Lemmy before the reddit explosion so I think they were disproportionately visible until everyone else started organically out-posting them.
I wish I personally could defederate from an instance while still using an account on a lemmy server. I've blocked at least a dozen communities from lemmygrad that showed up on my frontpage.
Its within connect, and they would probably be able to see your comments in a neutral instance. It is a temporary solution but I have been really pleased with it by blocking most porn only instances, at least its useful in that regard.
There was an issue on github asking for this but I dont know its status
There's Thunder (slick UI), Liftoff (best if you have multiple accounts), and connect (customizable). They are all pretty different so I'd just look at each of them and see what works for you.
Did you really... forget the beans already??
Beans? I was here for strategies on how not to poop for three days
damn that was annoying for a few days
You're in memes. What did you expect?
last week beans shitpost was the only thing showing up on c/all
That was last week, beans are dead old man, get over it already.
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.
That's not meta, that's just a meme
And not pooping
Ok, I must ask, what are beans?
Legumes
"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.
Fucking Beans.
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.
For the record, most of us prefer the term Neurodivergent.
Sorry, yes I couldnt think of the word.
I am neurodivergent and for some reason always want to call it neuroatypical
I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it neuro-atypical before
The journey is not about the destination. It’s the trends we make along the way.
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.
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
Most people are young here, they haven't lived long enough to see how evil corps can be.
The new one is are we defererating from Threads.
Not in ML of course, but the discussion goes on on other instances.
I think we should federate with Heinz and their beans
This is amazing
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."
Third correction: "If you don't we'll hack your ass!"
3AM CET, Monday...
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
+++ Goldfish memory here, actually have zero issue with the vintage meming.
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.
The reposting memes and not making their own is just fucking annoying.
“Everyone here is so much nicer than on ”
Doing my best to change that :)
Have you met Biggus_Dickus yet?
What's so funny about Biggus_Dickus?
Ive got a vewwy good frend in wome called Biggus_Dickus.
He's married to Incontinentia_Buttocks.
Obligatory "username checks out"! You're welcome.
Me too :)
Fucker
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 😀
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).

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!
Right? I am having trouble seeing similarities.
Do you even telnet?
Gopher 🥳
Kermit?
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.
And "How do I block an entire instance"
Please 🙏
Connect and Voyager (formerly wefwef) both support this now.
Ooo wefwef finally renamed itself
Icon contest also underway at [email protected]
Margot Robbie?
Academy Award nominated character actress @[email protected]!
The only real celebrity on Lemmy.
(Sometimes I get mistaken for you.)
Like what, she really on Lemmy?
It ain't much, but it's honest work.
Yeah, right 😂, like it's really you 😂.
Two wolves
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 asked. They claim they did not and I verified that the show NSFW box is unchecked.

waiting for some legend to respond...
There you go: https://lemmynsfw.com/
..I swear I only know it for hearsay!
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!
Dickbutt but made of beans
Was aiming for Handsome Squidward and a beans love child but I’ll accept Beanbutt any day.
Hmmmmmm ::: spoiler spoiler :::
lol Nice!!!
The true value of the internet
This is horrifying and I love it.
Thank you!! 😁🫘
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 🤷
Those of us who don't think it would be disastrous have read the article.
Others haven't. Better safe than sorry.
which article?
Reading isn't always understanding, I guess 🤷
Disagreement isn't misunderstanding.
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.
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.
How familiar are you with TLDs?
Yes, I'm aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
It's one of the few free TLDs.
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.
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
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.
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
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
huh... i thought it stood for mainline cus its thr instance the main devs run
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.
Where is "Petition to defederate from X because Y?"
Also, asking Lemmy support questions in asklemmy
‘Use a smaller instance, cause .world is overloaded!’
How dare you make a meta meme about Lemmy without mentioning the beans or the 3 days no poop challenge!
So we eat beans and try not to poop for 3 days then? Just to save one space on the bingo card, y'know
Well yeah, you didn't get the memo ?
The free space in the middle can just be "BEANS"
You forgot the self-refferential meta bingo post.
Here, I fixed it for you:
New apps every week! lol
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.
While we are at it, why do I see 2-3 year old posts in my stream?
My only question is if they’re tankies then why even leave Reddit? That’s like a stoner moving to a state where weeds legal then leaving because there’s too much weed.
Because free software aligns with leftist ideals?
Leftists aren’t tankies. Tankies are specifically pro USSR.
A pro authoritarian state. That’s why they are called tankies after all lol.
I think this is a matter of all tankies are leftists but not all leftists are tankies.
I disagree...
I dont even know what tankies want. Or where they live.
Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.
Nah, Im just not familiar with them. I keep seeing people referring to them, but never saying exactly what their deal is. Even back on reddit.
The name comes from the USSR’s practice of deploying tanks to crush dissent.
I believe the specific moment was when the USSR used tanks to crack down on peaceful protesters in Czechoslovakia; supporters were called tankies.
Tankies are pro-authoritarian but not pro-corporate.
Lemmy's creators were part of a community that got banned IIRC (ChapoTrapHouse)
Yes, and I love it! 🤟
I am glad that i realised I could just block the tankies instead of arguing with them
I've yet to see a single tankie here, but I think the instance I'm on has defederated from a bunch of instances so that might be why
https://lemm.ee/instances
Nope, not blocked. There's not actually that many of them, but they were one of the few established communities on Lemmy before the reddit explosion so I think they were disproportionately visible until everyone else started organically out-posting them.
Hi 👋 Nice to meet you. Welcome to Lemmy
Lol 🤣
I wish I personally could defederate from an instance while still using an account on a lemmy server. I've blocked at least a dozen communities from lemmygrad that showed up on my frontpage.
The app connect for lemmy on android allows for this right now, I believe it blocks posts and comments alike
There is probably also a browser extension, but I haven't really searched since I'm mostly a mobile user
yeah, but I'm guessing it only blocks from within Connect, right? I can't go to my web-based lemmy and have those blocked?
Browser extensions would be nice, though. If it were built into lemmy, you'd get it "for free" in every platform you use.
Its within connect, and they would probably be able to see your comments in a neutral instance. It is a temporary solution but I have been really pleased with it by blocking most porn only instances, at least its useful in that regard.
There was an issue on github asking for this but I dont know its status
Dude my card was full on my first day of Lemmy lol.
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.
“How do I swipe left on swiping”
I’m guilty of that…
Blackout.
And here i am just posting stolen memes and pictures of life like a sucker
Wait is Jerboa crap or something? I would switch but no one has given me a good reason to
[This comment has been deleted by an automated system]
I think it's quite alright for an alpha. Pretty modern codebase too, if I'm not mistaken
There's Thunder (slick UI), Liftoff (best if you have multiple accounts), and connect (customizable). They are all pretty different so I'd just look at each of them and see what works for you.
Funny, my first post was "The beauty of the Fediverse"
Also: “ugh communities with the same name on different instances are hard”.
