Lemmy.ca's Main Community

Why do other some communities I'm subbed to when viewing through lemmy.ca show no posts, no users, etc?

Like if I view [email protected] through lemmy.ca, it shows no posts.

Is there a way to export a list of all the communities (or kbin magazines) that I'm subscribed to? I can see the list on the right side of the front page, but that's more in the URL style -- I'd still have to parse out the [email protected] format of the community/magazine.

While all this was lemmy/kbin situation was fleshing out, I made accounts on a few different servers, but I'd like to centralize eventually.

Hi, I'm coming over from Mastodon to poke around for a while. Going to fill out a proper bio in the coming days. Looks cool!

Hey again, been a while since I posted in this thread! Was hoping to clarify a bit on the Lemmy.ca rules if I could. I have two questions:

1. What is the stance on NSFL/gore content? Allowed, discouraged, banned?
2. We have the rule "No porn." This sounds simple, but what is classified as porn. Is all nudity porn? Is nudity alright in an artistic context such as the Statue of David? What about a medical/injury setting, or a non-pornographic setting such as "public freakout" videos?

I ask these questions as I moderate !roadcam which could have both of these sorts of content posted to it, if not often. I am unsure if I want to ban that content outright, but it would be handy to know the instance rules first.

Hi folks!

I'm Anvil, a student in his final term of an I.T. program. I moved to Ontario for school, so it's been a bit of a wild ride. I'm hoping to find a good Reddit alternative for after RIF goes down due to corporate greed.

General interests include games (PC, switch, PS5), books (fantasy and sci-fi mostly), movies, and music. Big fan of board games and TTRPGs too (#ForeverDM)

Here's to the future!

Who is the admin for this server? Can you tell us about yourself? What makes this server different from some others (except for its Canadian bias, of course).

Is it run on AWS instance, and are you self funding it?

Hello everyone,

Still trying to get used to the new setup over on Lemmy, however trying to make some new communities work. Want to get /c/ontario and /c/waterloo running with some active discussions and people. Hopefully we can make a difference. :)

Edit: I'd also love to know the hardware that you're running this on!

Here from Reddit, and this is looking like a great new space. Cheers!

I'm not exactly a Reddit refugee, since I've been using a variety of decentralized communications systems for a while. I even still make small use of Usenet! That said, now seems like a good time to get signed up on a lemmy instance with my "real" username.

I chose this instance for several reasons. It seems like a solid and sane instance (from my perspective!). It helps keep the load off of the "main" instance (which load would be less if someone put some effort into not making it seem like the obvious place to sign up). Last but not least, hello from Southern Saskatchewan!

Hey all, I'm an ex-pat living in the UK, Scotland to be precise...er. I'm from Vancouver, and I'm on lemmy.ml, as .ca didn't appear to be an option when I signed up.

I'm a Stone Mason, have a cat who's a bit of a shithead, and I make electronic music as a hobby.

Hi There,

Yet another reddit refugee from Canada's West Coast. I've been in reddit for 15 years, mostly as a lurker with intermittent contributions (mostly comments in discussion threads). I used to use old.reddit, so would not have been affected (yet) by the announced API changes directly, but I am disappointed in the most recent behaviour of the admins over there and their disregard for the communities at large and the countless contributions of volunteer moderators, developers and content contributors that helped reddit to grow to what it is today.

I'm looking forward to explore Lemmy and Tildes and enjoy the reddit feel of the earlier days.

I'm a reddit refugee like many others, and was delighted to find Canada well-represented in the fediverse!

Now I've been exploring various communities and have a question. Many posts seem to offer a link to another instance and all the comments are local to that instance. I don't think I can post there without opening a new account? Or am I wrong? I can comment in the post containing the link, but there is usually no activity there, so I can't join an ongoing discussion that way.

Or at least that's the way it appears to me. I'm confused!

Greetings ~~shitlords~~, fellow Canadians.

One thing I find confusing is the notification bell icon. I notice that even if I check it, it still registers the same number of notifications that it had done previously. This number never seems to go down. What's with that?

Hey! New Ontarian user here. I'm jumping ship from Reddit before my favorite app loses API access. It's a real shame Reddit went that route.

I'm a software developer by day. I love gaming, sci-fi/fantasy paper/audio books, metal and electronic music.

I hope Reddit suffers a serious exodus. Maybe the secret to ending the cycle of shitty corporate social media is to help with the open source federated approach?

Northern Ontario checking in. Cheers everyone.

I am Systems Analyst that has been working in IT for the past 30 years. Mostly interested in technology discussion around open source software, systems and network troubleshooting.

Nice to meet you all! Still getting used to the website, I have some instances who work always great, and others working meh, but hey, I think a lot of tweaks will have to be made because we are a lot to migrate here lol

I'm still not fully grasping this. Am I supposed to make accounts for multiple instances?
