It's tough because I almost feel like I need a whitelist at this point. 90% of the first page of Google results usually read like AI-generated fluff that doesn't actually even answer my question. There are a handful of websites I trust now to give me real information and not just clickbait SEO nonsense.
I'm at the point where I add "reddit" to the end of every search just to try and find something that was written by a real person. Maybe someday I can start adding "lemmy" instead.
Yeah it's not that I think they're above this kind of petty bullshit, but I don't get why they'd go "fuck this guy in particular".
That said, even if the guy admitted to running the world's biggest pirate ring, screw them anyway

I enjoyed even the first season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but it really starts to pick up in Season 2 when they introduce Danny DeVito's character. Well, it really starts to pick up when his character evolves into trash goblin mode in like Season 3/4. Well okay actually seasons 5/6/7 are where it gets REALLY good!
When I used Windows I mainly bought on Gog for the DRM-free aspect. Now that I've switched to Linux almost completely, I find Steam's software for running Windows games on Linux to be just about the most seamless and easy to use, compared to other stuff I've tried like Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher.
This is probably the biggest issue I have with Lemmy right now. To make matters worse, it's really easy to miss how the system works. A lot of new users on smaller instances probably think this place is a ghost town because they don't see many communities in the directory. It's not ideal to have to use an external tool to find communities, then extra problematic that the actual process is so awkward: manually pasting the address from the external site in the search bar, then you get a "community not found" warning but ignore that, then the community will appear but it'll grab the old posts and not the comments. Weird.
I can accept that it would be too much if every single instance defaulted to a full local sync of every other community on every other instance, but they should at least show up in a list when searched for, IMO.
Growing up, whenever I was sick with an upset stomach, my mom would give me 7up to drink. I dunno, I guess she figured the carbonation would help? Now decades later 7up still reminds me of the taste of vomit.
On my phone I've put the Jerboa icon where the Rif icon used to be and sure enough I now open Lemmy 100 times a day out of pure habit
I would still happily rock an Invader Zim shirt in 2023
basically yeah, maybe it's not as funny as calling them "Xporn" but I don't see why only picture subs need to have juvenile meme names
it's not too bad when it's a silly one-off thing like "foodporn" but by the time we go full Reddit and get to "animal porn" then we've clearly gone too far
As a very basic person, I agree
I said the same thing at first, but then once I broke the habit of mindlessly opening Reddit is Fun on my phone, I just naturally stopped going to the site on my computer too.
Well, okay I still open it up once every couple of days to check a few small subs that don't exist here yet, but aside from that I'm FINALLY FREE
I hate to be the one to go against the grain here, but yeah I would. I mean, I'd try to continue posting here as much as possible, but there are at least a few communities that I'd probably fall back to Reddit for. Reddit's popularity means there's active discussion on some surprisingly niche topics. Like, there's an active Sumo wrestling sub. There isn't a community here for that, and even if I made one (which I don't want to do because I don't want to moderate) it would just be me screaming into the void.
And I don't think that's going to be a concern anyway. There's no sign they're going to backtrack on anything, in fact they just keep doubling down.
It's not the True Reddit Experience(tm) until this inexplicably gets more votes than the original
Me thinking about some cringe thing I said fifteen years ago
Maybe try sorting by "New." I've got a weird bug right now where old posts vanish if I sort by Active/Hot
I'm still learning all this stuff too, so anybody please correct me if I'm wrong here, but to my understanding: They just exist alongside each other. They might locally have the same name but they'd have different URLs with the @[instance] suffix.
In your case, since you're a lemmy.world account, if you wanted to go to "music" communities, you'd navigate to:
At least on my instance, you can click the three dots under the post to open up some expanded options, then click the star to save the post.
On Jerboa, there should be a little bookmark icon under each post.
When I first signed up here, I had no clue what "SDF" was. The admins were requesting people go to smaller instances because lemmy.ml was getting hammered, so I chose one completely at random. You've articulated really well why I'm confident I made a good choice with this one :)
And now I've got an SDF account and I'm starting to poke around the BBOARD...
thanks for using Leebra!
