y’all don’t have to boycot every american, just their economy, so if a based person hosts a lemmy server that helps the open free internet and should not be boycotted
Lemmy’s originally Canadian just saying 🇪🇺🤝🇨🇦
Apps like Voyager per the meme help it feel more Reddity for me and that has boosted my adoption
@goldenquetzal I wish the browser experience was as good as Voyager’s. @Blaze
@Blaze Didn’t know that one. Thanks!
I’m new to this app, how does it work
It’s pretty close to Reddit, but it’s like a whole bunch of smaller Reddits that share posts between each other. The individual Reddits (instances) are generally grouped by hobby, political affiliation, or geographical location, but not always.
You can tell what instance something or someone is from by looking at their name or title. E.g. I’m from lemmy.zip, you can see it after my user name.
The reason that it can’t be bought by a billionaire is that even if one instance is bought out, compromised etc, it can just be removed from the group at large, and it continues like nothing happened. I’m simplifying a bit but I hope you get the general idea.
Instead of 1 big website like reddit, there’s a bunch of smaller websites like reddit. These sites are united in a way as users from one site can view, comment on, etc on other sites.
Something similar is Email. Even if you made your email address with Google to have @gmail.com at the end of your email address you can still send and receive emails from anyone.

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
US billionaires aren’t even all American. All billionaires are bad.
Shouldn’t this be posted on other socials instead of Lemmy?
Feel free to, but also be ready to see your post removed anc your account banned
Already got banned for pro Luigi posting.
Me, too. You have my sympathies.
I have decided that nothing of value was lost
Sorry to hear
I posted it to Reddit, let’s see how it goes
Please report back
12 views, no up-votes so far
Aaaaand it’s gone.
I haven’t had any issues posting this kind of content to BlueSky and Mastodon.
This actually got me pumped and Im American. Long live the resistance.

Can’t stop the signal.
Some Instances Allows Tor:

-Comment posted on Tor Browser via the Tor Network
(Not sure how much good it does, since I kinda already revealed the city I live in through my personal anecdotes. But I suppose I can create another throwaway for more… spicy… stuff)
Some Instances Allows Tor:
Basically every instance except lemmy.world allows Tor
Is the Sync app no longer being updated/maintained/developed? I am having problems with it. Upvotes/downvotes are no longer being showed. Shame because it is my fav Lemmy app.
Honestly same, i feel like pressing the random buttons sometimes causes it to just not want to load, especially if what its loading is videos/gifs
What, didn’t even notice! Thought that I somehow disabled it myself.
I had a sync sub but since it got abandoned I just cancelled it. Most images or videos wouldn’t load, as well as some comments or some random shit. Using voyager now and won’t look back. It’s much better since the first time I tried it
Yeah, the dev took our money and bailed.
I don’t know if you used to use Sync for Reddit but it was pretty normal for him to go away for a while and then come back with a big update. I’m just assuming that’s what is happening at the moment.
Hopefully, it’d be nice if pics, gifs and vids would actually load.
Lemmy seems interesting. Though instances, federations etc, meta stuff is confusing.
It’s not that confusing. The simplest way to explain it, I think. Is that instances are like email servers. Defederating is like a spam blocker. If you don’t like your “email server’s” “spam blockers” you can chose another.
No need to worry about the inter-instance drama.
It really isn’t once you get used to it, give it a little bit of time and feel free to ask stuff.
I highly recommend “boost for lemmy” don’t know if boost is european but lemmy is so gopd enough for me.
My only problem is lower userbase but I guess that will get better
Boost finally breaking for good on Reddit is why I’m here. Boost is simply the best.
Boost was my favourite Reddit client, but I prefer Voyager for Lemmy. Boost just had way too many ads, Voyager has none.
Boost just had way too many ads, Voyager has none.
Aaaand you’ve just sold me on Voyager
Ah yes, I will say that I didn’t have to deal with ads on boost for Reddit.
I may check out Voyager.
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
Same!
I’m new but I like it so far 💪
I don’t think he’s interested.
It’s dead unfortunately. There is like 1000 active users.
50000 monthly active users
That’s nothing.
In a perfect world…
