I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

And the ex is also the waiter.

Eh, it’s more like going out with the guys then complaining about your ex. And incidentally, you’ve all had a ride one that particular crazy coaster so you can sympathize.

Well you are not wrong!

I agree, I just joined here from reddit, and would like see communities florish reminiscent to reddit but like you said, we need to move on from an old Ex and see how it goes

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

Just ignore the posts then? I don't see what the big deal is. If anything it makes this community stronger having a collective discontent for our previous beloved.

I disagree. I'm not trying to fuck Lemmy.

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

I hope this can just be a hangout with the lads and lasses where we can bitch about anything, including our ex!

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

But we can't cuddle and/or watch Netflix with Lemmy.

I'm new, what is fedverse? Is this fed verse? Is lemmy part of something else called fedverse?

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

My completely unknowledgeable answer based on the week or so I've been here.

Lemmy works as a series of self hosted "instances", basically servers people run kinda like a games server or bitcoin miner.

When you join Lemmy, you picked an instance, that is the server you connect to and get all your data from, the "local" in your list.

This server then talks to and share posts with all the other servers it knows about and is connected to. That way when you query your local instance, it knows all about the other content on the other servers.

The over all cluster of various servers is the "Fediverse", various stand alone instances which share data to create the larger community.

So when the talk about defederating a site, like Threads, they mean cutting that server off from the rest of the community.

People on Mastodon are complaining about people talking about twitter, and posting their complaints to the hashtag #twitter which is very odd, as they could filter it.

I expect there will be filters on Lemmy eventually.

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

If reddit was that important to whomever they should probably talk to someone about it.

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

I agree, let's move on. Lemmy is the future.

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

LMAO not that I disagree but it's funny

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

Wait, have I been doing dates wrong?

Hi, I'm here to complain about people complaining about other people who are complaining about Reddit.

I'm tired of reading about this. We must do something, Lemmy!

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

Making exact copies of subreddits, then being surprised people can't shut up about Reddit. ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy Moment.

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

Absolutely! Having this great thing in front of you, more lovable and genuine than what you had before, but you do keep on blabbering about the ex who went out for cheap cocktails and a 5-sec-back-alley-hump without lubricants with Steve.

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

I think we are in a transition phase right now, after some time this kind of "bitching about reddit / twitter whatever" trend will cool down.

Showerthoughts

37328 readers
504 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
