There seems to be a bug when viewing this instance:

(Heh, it's at least way better than accessing lemmy.world right now...)

I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

Hey Lemmy 😊 users! I just discovered 🚀 something amazing: Lemmy now supports 😍 emotes! 🥳 We can express ourselves 💁‍♂️ in a whole new way. And guess what? You can suggest 🤔 cool emotes right in the comments! 💬 Share your ideas below 😄 and let's make Lemmy even more fun 😃 and expressive. Happy emoting, everyone! 😊🎉🎨💡🤩🔥🌟🥰💪🚀😎✨🙌💬🎉

it started popping up on lemmy 0.18 instances for me and it's inconsistent, sometimes refreshing or updating the feed or even posting something there would make the buttons pop up (as new elements that is).

I can't interact with them so something is definitely wrong.

In the USA we are approaching July 4 (Independence Day), which is a major holiday. People tend to string together a few days of vacation and take off a nice chunk of time (I am!). My husband finally comes home this evening, we have Friday off (we work a 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off) and then we will go on a 4 day trip in the Sawtooth mountains.

How about you all? I know some of you are in Europe, and it's also vacation season there. What's shakin'?

I get the perpetual "waiting" icon on the browser interface and some kind of JSON string error in Jerboa (I would have to screen shot it, it flashes up and disappears). Is it the server? Lemmy in general? Something else?

I made this thread in case someone is looking for any specific replacement for specific reddit subs (or something else) and hopefully someone might be able to chime in with some good suggestions.

Just curious. On weekends (usually on Saturdays), I usually go out to eat and try a new restaurant or two. Sundays are down time so it can get pretty boring (like right now).

Do you guys have any routines during weekends? Drop some ideas of stuff to do. Your brother from another mother is bored as hell over here. Lol.

I wrote a small script to ban the bots that joined. I am pretty sure most of the accounts are actual bots but there is still a small chance i might ban someone unjustified.

If youre a sublem mod or an admin and you haven't checked it out yet, do so :)

A lot of us left reddit because it became too big-corpo'ey. Let's not let another big corpo into our space that we're building so that they can ruin it from the inside

Has it officially dropped from the devs? When can we expect this server to update so it can work with Jerboa again?

Just felt like getting to know our little community a bit better.

I got up extra early today to take my husband to the airport this morning after his flight was rebooked from yesterday evening. He's headed to Germany for a big birthday celebration with his peers from growing up. I think it's super cool they are all still friends with each other!

I'm also working from home using a computer that unfortunately isn't running Arch, but if it were running Arch, I would definitely tell you.

Just got started with lemmy. What are the communities you like the most?

I've been using neovim for a good while by now and it's become my notes app, code editor, and IDE. This is thanks to the vast ecosystem of plugins available to neovim extending it past anything the developers would be able to think of and they make this way of using neovim not only possible; but also viable.

I personally use quite a few plugins nowadays, but I'm curious as to what all of you tend to use.

neovim/nvim-lspconfig (pre-baked lsp configuration for neovim)
ms-jpq/coq_nvim (fast CoC/YCM replacement utilizing builtin lsp)
ms-jpq/coq.artifacts (snippets for coq)
ms-jpq/chadtree (nerdtree replacement)
lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim (git integration)
norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua (color preview)

PS: if you use another text editor feel free to show off plugins for that too.

It might be a better move to go through the official channels for those who have them available, rather than using bots to delete the posts and comments. Of course, those of us who will make this request and have it complied with by reddit, will need to periodically check back to make sure they don't sneakily restore our content. I've read posts and comments of people who deleted their content months ago and noticed reddit restored it now.

Edit: I know its all in German, but with a little translation you can get the necessary information

I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.

Hey guys, anyone else having trouble with lemmy.ml? I'm still in pending status after a couple days. I've tried the toggle trick on the subscribe button, but no go. Basically all lemmy.ml subscriptions are still pending, which means content from their sublems doesnt show in my feed while browsing my default setting: Subscribed

Is this because of the massive influx of users? Shouldn't they have dealt with that by now?

EDIT: Since a lot of people asked me: If you want to financially support the instance you can buy me a coffee on ko-fi Please only do it if you can afford it.

Hello everyone, I want to answer a couple of frequently asked questions (and some made up frequently asked questions). Also you can ask questions in the comments.

How did you come up with the server name? A couple of weeks ago I nerd sniped this domain from someone who is also on this instance and did nothing with it until the whole reddit thing happened and I found lemmy. I noticed user names have the instance domain behind them. I suddenly knew what I had to do.

How much does the domain cost? 19$ a year.

How much does the server cost? ~~Currently it's a 7$ a month digital ocean droplet. How is the performance? Should we upgrade? Didn't expect to have over 100 Members already.~~ I upgraded to a 24$ a month droplet. To experiement if some issues go away with it.

Where is the server located? Currently in Frankfurt, Germany.

What distro does the server use? Ubuntu 22.10

Who has access do the server and database? Currently only me.

Can you edit the database? Yes, but maybe it would lead to unexpected bugs. I don't know. I will not do it unless I have to.

Will you edit comments? No.

**Will you charge 3rd party apps? ** No.

Is it complicated to host your own instance? Not at all. The lemmy devs provide an easy to use ansible script. I never used ansible before and now I want to use it for more stuff. You should have some experience with Linux and hosting. But don't be afraid if you have no experience to host your instance. You can probably Google and ask yourself though the setup.

How can I support the server? You can support the server by being active in the community. You can post, create communities, comment and engage. While I also like to lurk a lot it's important to create content. It's the most valuable thing (without content nobody will visit sites like reddit). Also it probably doesn't hurt to promote the server a bit. Regarding Server cost if the server cost doesn't increase substantially I don't need any financial support. I will try keep the instance alive as long as people are using it.

Should I create my own community? Yes (as long as it is legal and doesn't harm other people)

Does my community have to be related to Arch Linux? No, I think it's even better if it's not related. Having some random community with @iusearchlinux.fyi at the end seems amusing to me.

I don't see rules. Is everything allowed? Nope if we see something that is not okay we will not hesitate to ban someone or remove content. Everyone including the admins and mods should strive for keeping this a nice place for everyone. Everyone should feel welcome. If you argue with someone try to interpret what the person said in the most charitable way. In short try to make a positive impact in this community. We enabled that everyone can see the mod logs with the names of the mod for transparency. If you don't like how we moderate you can write us or make a post but please keep in mind we cannot make everyone happy and if you want have different moderation you can always create an account on a different instance. We have banned in total only one person and have not blocked a single other instance. We are not on the search to find small things we can use as excuse to ban anyone we don't like but we will act on reports. Please use the report button it's better to report someone just in case. We will not blindly ban someone. My other 2 Admins are great people and I trust them 100 percent to have a good judgement.

What's your favorite editor? neovim with lazyvim

What's your Terminal? Wezterm

What's your desktop environment? AwesomeWM

What's your favorite programming language? Rust (but I am not very productive with it)

Sorry for my bad english.

EDIT: How can I financially support the server? You can buy me a coffee on ko-fi

For users, not hosts. I usually don't like video tutorials, but I think I would have liked one for lemmy.

It would go through all the stuff, starting at the lemmy website, finding a fitting instance, creating an account, explaining user interface, listing common quirks, bugs and how to avoid some, creating posts, adding images & gallery and creating communities.

Is this a good idea? If it is, I would like to use this instance to create a new account, posts and a community for the tutorial.

I'd love to have more local communities to discuss about things, but I don't want to 1) spam a bunch of new communities that get no traffic and/or are duplicates of communities on other instances and 2) I have very little time to moderate.

What do you think? What kind of topics might we want to add, if we do?

The private subreddits went from 8400+ to now being back to 6900ish today due to the 2 day "protest" time being up.

Seems like most of the reddit mods couldn't touch grass for more than the allotted protest time, though I'm sure some subreddits go public for a good reason like asking their community whether they should go private indefinitely and all that...

Let's hope the number will go back up again tomorrow, if not then I guess reddit had a reason to not worry about this "protest".

I want to preface this with the fact that I'm quite new to lemmy and using the fediverse as a whole (this is my first account on a fediverse server), but I have had my eyes on the concept for a while now. What I want to address is some of the issues regarding Lemmy and I want to discuss solutions to addressing those. I do want to note that I haven't looked into the source for lemmy and my personal source of information is this thread on mastodon which also talks about the political issues with this platform (I'm going to be sidestepping the political/humanitarian views the devs seem to have for this thread as I want to keep discussion here purely about the privacy of the platform)

the issues I want to address here are related to how lemmy deals with "deleted" content.

1. comments deleted by users are still visible to admins
2. deleted user accounts still have their data remain on the instance.

both of these are serious issues concerning user privacy and also violate several laws around the world regarding privacy (most notably the EU's GDPR). additionally these seem to be easy (if not trivial) to address from a code perspective so I don't see why these changes could not be made by someone familiar with the project and then used by instances before they get merged in the main project (if they will ever do so).

I want instance admins to be aware of this particular issue (not just for my home instance, but as many as we can) and thus want this thread to be one of open discussion about how we would go about this. I'm just a random guy on the internet; but I want to know what we can do about this at the very least and maybe actually make some sort of difference.
