What's lemmy.ml's policy on NSFW content and why?

Rule #3 on lemmy.ml says "No porn", but there's a lot that's considered NSFW that isn't porn. I'm not sure where they draw the line. I did see an instance lemmynsfw.com that might be a good choice.

If it's not de-federated from your instance, you can follow from your instance. If your instance does not federate with it, then you could just make an account there or another instance that federates with it.

Why Legal Immigration Is Impossible for Nearly Everyone

That's worse than my story, sorry they had to go through that.

I married my wife while I was living in her country, Georgia. Then I came back to the U.S. and started the process for her to come. It took 17 months. I didn't need a lawyer for it. We did later try to get a visitor visa for my mother-in-law and it got denied. I always say that if I had it to do over again, it would have probably been cheaper and quicker to fly them both to Mexico and then cross the border.

How to Block a Community?

If you haven't joined the community, you should see this button to block it below where the Subscribe button is.

edit: Also, if you only want to see what you're subscribed to in your timeline, you can click on "Subscribed" where you see "Subscribed Local All" at the top of your timeline. Subscribed will show you communities you're subscribed to on all instances. Local will show posts from all communities only on your local instance, and All will show posts from all communities from all instances (at least, all instances that your local instance is federated with.)

edit 2: after typing that last edit, I see that the original question was asked 9 months ago. Oh well, maybe it's relevant for some of the new people joining.

5 Great Web Browsers For Linux

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for thekernal.xyz. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.xserver.jp, xserver.jp

edit: another old post showing up on top for me! I need to pay attention to the date before I comment

I agree. I use Pelican to build my website and I don't use any javascript. It's simple, it's fast (it doesn't really have much content that would be interesting to anybody, but it's mine and I like it!)

The History of Linux Mandrake

I found out about linux in 2001 while using mIRC on Windows 98 and telling someone about all the crashes and BSOD I was getting. They recommended I try linux. Someone offered to burn Mandrake 8.0 cd's and mail them to me. I used it for about 2 years before I first started distro hopping.
