What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other "ActivityPub" software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on Lemmy.one, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!

What is Lemmy.one?

Lemmy.one is a general-purpose instance of Lemmy—a self-hostable, decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators—hosted by myself (Jonah). I am the administrator of the Mastodon server mstdn.party, and the founder of privacyguides.org.

This instance is generously supported by our contributors, if you use this instance to interact with the fediverse, please consider a monthly contribution to support my work.

What are the rules here?

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism
No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
No content illegal in the United States, Germany, or Finland
Do not share intentionally false or misleading information
Do not spam or abuse network features.

As a general-purpose instance, we do not have heavy moderation in terms of what topics people are allowed to post about, however all users are expected to follow our rules at all times, and generally be nice and friendly on the federation.

Please report all content you see which might violate our rules for evaluation. If you are on a remote server, please forward any reports of our users to our server for our moderators to take action, we pledge that remote reports will remain confidential within our moderation team and will not be used for any form of retribution against the reporter.

Hey so I've been on Lemmy for a few weeks now and I'm getting tired of seeing the pinned posts. How do I prune them from my feed? I've seen them. I don't need to keep seeing them several times a day.

The only way I can think of at the moment is to block @jonah and, while I'm reluctant to do that, so far nobody has given me another option.

jonah 3 points 3 years ago

There probably wasn't, because nobody on lemmy.one had "discovered" it yet. It is slightly complicated, but you can find remote communities more reliably with a tool like https://browse.feddit.de/, and then paste the URL of the community you find in the search page. That will tell lemmy.one to fetch the community from that server, the communities you see on lemmy.one are ones where that process has already happened.

So if someone on here discovered a “new” community that no one else on here discovered yet, then after that other people here would be more easily able to find it afterwards?

Hi all :)

I started on Lemmy but then kbin UI caught my attention so I migrated over there. Now I'm. Back to see what Lemmy is like now

Is there a way to link my kbin acocunt/subs to Lemmy? What's the easiest way to do this or the closest thing to it? I have more comments over there and would like to be able to continue discussions there, or see replies, etc? But now from Lemmy

Edit: I ended up pulling up my kbin subscriptions on 1 tab, and Lemmy search on the other, and just searched manually

Kbin is federated so you should be able to see content from kbin on Lemmy and vice versa. I don't really know how it works, but it should be/is possible. You cannot merge your accounts or anything like that though.

I checked our page on kbin ie https://kbin.social/m/privacyguides@lemmy.one vs https://lemmy.one/c/privacyguides and what I can say is that there are a lot of comments that don't appear to be federating. Doesn't seem to be a problem with other lemmy instances though.

I think in this instance (lol) they've opted to disable downvotes since it's a smaller community. Instead, the sidebar encourages you to upvote other posts to encourage discussion :)

Not lame. Just not what you want. The joy is, there are instances that allow downvoting, which you are free to join, if that's the way you want to interact.

I wish downvoting was enabled on this server and it would be interesting to see if they open it up to the community to see how others feel about it.

srpwnd 1 point 3 years ago

In the instances sidebar there is following written about it:

Downvotes are disabled on this instance, because it is a very small community. If you see something against the rules, report it. If you see something you don’t like, go find something you do like and upvote that instead :)

Personally, I am okay with this being implemented and agree with the reasoning.

JonEFive 2 points 3 years ago

Yeah, I didn't catch that before I joined. I wish I had, but I didn't even realize disabling a core feature would be on anyone's mind.

That's also a pretty weird stance considering that lemmy.one doesn't have many local communities by design. So the idea is to disable downvotes because lemmy.one is a small community when most of the interaction is with other servers that don't have features disabled?

It might be time to revisit that opinion with the current level of growth here. Or I might need to seek out another instance. Downvotes are a valuable part of self-moderating communities.

Have you found another instance? And if so, why did you choose that particular one? I'm also considering another instance due to this ones stance on down voting.

smartwater0897 1 point 3 years ago

I think it's good that it's disabled, since people downvote when they disagree, and it creates the same echo chamber as on reddit.

People need to be OK with others opinions and be able to read and move on without needing to punish the person for his opinion.

Sorting by controversial is an anti-pattern that just prioritizes hate speech. Lemmy doesn't even have that sorting algorithm.

Is there a list of instances that lemmy.one has defederated with¿? I see several posts where the post data shows more comments than the post actually displays when it is opened. I am guessing this is either a bug or comments from instances which have been defederated

jonah 1 point 3 years ago

Mastodon usually doesn't import old posts, so you'd have to follow an account in Mastodon and then you'd get future updates. You can manually import an old post or a comment on Lemmy that you want to reply to by entering the URL of the Lemmy post in Mastodon search, but it won't backfill every post automatically.

@jonah I'm still getting used to navigating the federated space so forgive me if this seems utterly silly.

What's the best way to interact with lemmy.one/lemmy in general? Ideally I'd like to use my mastodon instance for singularity sake but I'm unsure how to interact (such as liking and interacting on lemmy directly) rather than through mastrodon. Sorry, didn't know where to ask

path: 0 337494, hotness: undefined, score: 1, children: 4

jonah 2 points 3 years ago

You can't interact via the Lemmy interface without an account on a Lemmy instance. Mastodon lets you follow Lemmy communities, upvote posts (via likes), and reply to Lemmy posts like you did here, but all that only happens through Mastodon if you use a Mastodon account.

This is why for people who use Lemmy regularly it probably makes more sense to register somewhere like kbin.social or lemmy.one, but interacting via Mastodon like this is nice if you just want to leave a quick comment every once in a while without needing yet another account.

Very, very slowly getting the hang of this. I got the Mlem iPhone app on testflight, but it's not as nice to use for discovering new communities as on the desktop. Thanks for hosting this beginner-friendly instance!

+1 for browse.feddit.de

I haven’t tried Mlem just yet, been on the browser for now, but I have been using lemmy explorer by @andycuccaro@lemmy.ml for the past two days.

You can set your home instance, then you can search for and navigate to available communities from your home instance automatically. Less copy and pasting imo!

Some apps are better than others at specific things like this. I encourage you to check out Thunder, Memmy, and Liftoff as well, all for iOS. My preference so far is Memmy, and their latest search function is pretty good for communities, posts, and profiles.
