Have you ever been to Tiananmen Square? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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.

A Netflix documentary cannot be made from the refugees. There is nothing to dramatise unlike the sub case.

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 in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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.

America has made it to Lemmy.

Imagine if the defence secretary just follows the steps suggested by the former defence secretary Mark Esper.

When I bought the 14 Pro Max I knew they would releasee USB C on the next iPhone. However, I can't wait that long.

TIL that ladybugs are also called ladybirds (lemmy.world)
 

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

Is there an article someone could point to that explains how kbin, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world etc. all relate to one another? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

kbin.social, lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are all instances. You can create separate accounts on each one. You can access most information from other instances using just one account in one instance.

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?

[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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
