Alive and well as @[email protected]!

Lemmy.world has been acting strangely since yesterday’s upgrade, and has also been getting hugged by Reddit refugees.

I think it’s having issues right now seeing posts elsewhere in the fediverse, and sharing posts made on lemmy.world with other servers.

Using an alternate account on lemm.ee I can see a lot of lemmy.ml posts in here that aren’t visible on lemmy.world, and none of those instances seem to be defederated from each other.

I expect it’s just growing pains and will be resolved soon.

tl;dr You might want to make an alt.

If “master” unintentionally made some people uncomfortable then there’s no harm in changing the default, since you can modify it if you choose.

No plans to go back :)

I notice you’re really putting in the work getting this community started. Thanks for that!

Make the communities you want to see

This isn’t really feasible. It took years for Reddit to grow a userbase sufficient to have active niche subreddits like those.

Even widening the interests to state instead of city and hobby instead of specific trail there is almost no content here. That’s not going to change overnight.

The subreddits being copied by Lemmit.Online fill a gap for these niche communities which will only come with greater adoption of Lemmy. Blocking them only serves to drive traffic back to Reddit, in conflict with that objective.

the instance you bring up in particular is essentially a spambot.

I’d like to understand your perspective here. This and this are examples of subreddits I miss which have no active Lemmy equivalent. How is their existence at Lemmit.Online spam?

I think that’s why admin posts to lemmyworld would make sense.

“This week we blocked these 5 instances for these reasons and these 2 external communities for these other reasons. Discussions are open here until we lock the thread.”

Thanks. My job’s gotten busier since I bought my DS412+ and it’s been sitting virtually unused for awhile. I’m hoping someone can provide directions that are just a step above “click to install” because I’m (too busy/too lazy/too clueless <-- pick one) to DIY it.

There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.

Have you tried https://wefwef.app?

Boost user, too. There’s [email protected] modded by the dev, but my understanding is that they have no current plans for supporting Lemmy.

Very helpful. Thanks!

Maybe https://www.khanacademy.org?

Can you elaborate?

I read that Kbin defederated with Lemmy because it couldn’t initially handle the influx of new users migrating from Reddit, but that it has federated again.

So is it a Lemmy instance, like Beehaw?

I know that Kbin doesn’t use communities (“/c/”) but uses magazines (“/m/”) so I thought it was different.

I also read that there was some new way to post to Lemmy from Mastadon, but I thought those were different, like Reddit and Twitter. But they both rely on something called “ActivityPub”?

So is Kbin similar to Lemmy (by being Reddit-like), but distinct like Mastadon (which is Twitter-like)?

I didn’t have a Twitter account, but was a heavy Reddit user. I don’t have a Mastadon account, but I’m liking Lemmy. However I have some FOMO about Kbin because I don’t understand how it all works together.

True, but the writer’s room is the real star of R&M and it’s been reported that Roiland stopped collaborating there years ago. Hopefully it’ll only be disconcerting for a minute or two, but Solar Opposites being first to have a clip out could make it harder for R&M to pull off “<Belch.> I just sound different now! Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!” without looking like a copycat.

I made a slight modification to your bookmarklet asking to which instance you are migrating, which produces a list of links you can paste into something like https://www.openallurls.com so it becomes just a matter of clicking all of the “Subscribe” buttons:

javascript:(function() {
  const currentHostname = window.location.hostname;
  const tld = prompt("Please enter the name of the instance to which you are migrating:");
  const table = document.getElementById('community_table');
  const anchorTags = table.getElementsByTagName('a');
  const communityUrls = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < anchorTags.length; i++) {
    const title = anchorTags[i].title.substring(1);
    const parts = title.split('@');
    const community = parts[0].trim();
    const domain = parts[1] ? parts[1].trim() : currentHostname;
    const communityUrl = `https://${tld}/c/${community}@${domain}`;
    communityUrls.push(communityUrl);
  }

  const urlsText = communityUrls.join('\n');

  navigator.clipboard.writeText(urlsText)
    .then(() => {
      alert('Community URLs copied to clipboard!');
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      alert('Failed to copy Community URLs to clipboard:', error);
    });
})();
