Have you ever been to Tiananmen Square? by AskThinkingTim in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I went there in 2009. I was too young to appreciate the culture. Locals were busy selling tourists goods and I wasn’t even sure what to soak in at the square.

So the Wagner Group is 300km from Moscow and Putin is on his way to St. Petersburg.

Need help learning how to read books again by AskThinkingTim in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

You most likely don’t have as much free time on your hands. That is a major reason for this. You can start with smaller books of interest to get the feeling of completion.

I am Australian and have always known it exclusively as the American term “ladybug”. Never heard of ladybird before.

Can you find Lemmy posts on google/search engines now or in the future? (lemmy.world)

My understandings on the Fediverse is unclear right now. Will you be able to search for posts just as in stack overflow and reddit right now?

Why do some people still have hope for Reddit? by AskThinkingTim in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

They are just following the reactionary social media norms these days. The lack of proper passing of information and just humoured by the subreddit protests such as in r/pics. Some people are not actually on Reddit for information.

I mean he explained enough if you have a Lemmy account.

[MEGATHREAD] promoting Lemmy.world communities (lemmy.world)

I'm not sure if there is a place to promote your own communities in lemmy.world. I decided to create a thread where you can post and promote your own community.

Mine is focused on watches: https://lemmy.world/c/watches

Know what I don't miss from reddit? Every other post with "1 comment" but it's just fricking automoderator by AskThinkingTim in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using Lemmy on desktop. The option of Apollo on desktop would have been game changing for me. The advertisements were messing with my mind!

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

402 comments fedilink

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂 by AskThinkingTim in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I'm not saying Lemmy is going backwards, but I prefer this forum vibe I am experiencing here with people expressing their opinions and helping each other.

Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

4 comments fedilink

I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

Which Lemmy instance will be the biggest in 6 months? by AskThinkingTim in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

The main reason it is growing is because you cannot sign up to Lemmy.ml if you tried right now.

How to subscribe to a community in another instance? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

3 comments fedilink

When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "[email protected]"

Maybe I just need to wait.

Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow

If I was to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance (lemmy.world)

Does anybody knows how long it takes to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance with an account? It would give me the green wheel and I don't know if I have to wait "x" amount of time or it's just not possible at this time.
