Is there an orientation manual for Lemmy? Honestly, Lemmy isn't even the first DDG result for Lemmy (the first result is the Motorhead founder).

What I really want to know is how to pull in forums from other servers because I'm used to a very curated firehouse of content from Reddit and Lemmy so far seems more about making do with what conversation and audience are available. I found a page from 3 years ago describing a somehwat programmery process to do so....

Also, is there a place to find similar reddit subs? My favorite sub on reddit was the subreddit NOT about literally fucking cars but about the importance of micromobility in a car-dominated landscape. Also: cats who look like Ron Perlman.

I prefer voyager, which has the same front-end essentially as apollo (ios app) for reddit back before the api shenanigans. it can be downloaded as an app or used as a web app

edit, something might be up with the fdroid link to it? it is downloadable here https://github.com/aeharding/voyager but the fdroid link in the readme brings me to a not-found page.

I loved apollo! Thanks.

How do I make a post on Voyager?

I'm logged into my server but don't see an option to post anywhere.

Commenting from voyager now. Pretty nice layout.

My fdroid setup is probably just finnicky, then. enjoy!

edit, i just figured out that my fdroid repo is several months out of date. i found it after syncing with the repo, and my voyager was severely out of date. thanks for reminding me to check on that!

Watch Reddit Die

Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

If you're concerned that your post might be astroturfed/brigaded by pro-reddit individuals, give us mods a heads up beforehand, and we'll try to monitor the thread.
