Can a Lemmy instance be configured to only permanently store posts made by users on the local instance, and posts to communties that are on the local instance?
  • As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn't use much disk space, so that shouldn't be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It's because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

  • NSFW
    Can we talk about porn on Lemmy?
  • There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

  • r/BotDefense is shutting down - I hope Reddit likes spam and malicious actors
  • Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?

  • I fell for that too
  • Not an audio engineer, but I had unshielded (thin) cables in my home speaker setup. If the cables were positioned correctly, everything was fine. Accidentally move them even a little, and there'd be a huge amount of noise, due to power cables going near the speaker cables. Switched to shielded (thick) cables, and there's no noise ever.

  • They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub
  • r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can't see, especially if the software isn't very accessible.

  • They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub
  • Someone needs to start a "campaign" for naming and shaming companies who advertises on Reddit. "[This company] supports a company that actively discriminates against the disabled. #SayNoToReddit"

  • I have Basic Lemmy Questions.
    1. On desktop browser you can see list of your subscribed communities on the front page of the instance, below the sidebar (you can collapse the sidebar). On mobile you can expand the Subscribed list. You can also click your name in upper right corner and choose profile. Your communities are on the side (desktop) or bottom (mobile).
    2. You can search for communities either by their name, using the !community@instance syntax (for example, !memmy@lemmy.ml) or by the community's URL (for example, https://lemmy.ml/c/memmy). That last option usually works, when the other two might fail. If the community is not yet federated with your instance, you can wait a few seconds/moments, and the instance might pop-up in to the search results. Or search again later.
  • YSK: You can see which instances your home instance is federated with and which they've defederated/blocked by going to "/instances"
  • That list won't show which instances have block the home instance. The blocked list lists only the instances the home instance has blocked, not the other way around.

  • Why "top of the hour" is not available on any of the apps for Lemmy?
  • It’s not a feature of Lemmy and, I guess, no-one has wanted to create it for their app. You should submit this idea to the Lemmy developers so it will eventually be a feature in every app.

  • Wiping my Reddit account as we speak as the 30th begins to roll on in. Anyone struck by nostalgia?
  • Make sure that your changes actually “sticks”. There are multiple reports of people trying to delete or edit posts, only for them to come back soon after. It seems that deleting isn’t possible and when mass editing posts, there needs to be long enough delay (5 seconds or so) between each edit.

  • Graphics Card, Part 2
  • Quick googling says that 1 long beep and 3 short beeps means the RAM is not working correctly. One of the two sticks might have failed. Try the machine with one stick at a time.

    Those error "codes" might be manufacturer specific. Try to google "1 long beep and 3 short beeps" and your motherboard manufacturer.

  • Lemmy's total users surged from 156k to 240k in a single day today! What caused the jump?
  • Some of the big things that happened in the past 24h or so:

    • r/LegalAdviceUK wants to move their 800k+ community to another platform. Their members might be testing Lemmy.
    • Apollo developer posted another lengthy post about Reddit and their leadership.

    Also r/ModCoord has started recommending moderators to move their communities to other platforms, like Lemmy.

  • Reddit officials forces moderators to reopen subreddits or get overthrown
  • Well this turned ugly fast.

    Huffman, also a Reddit co-founder, said he plans to pursue changes to Reddit’s moderator removal policy to allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular. He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable
