๐ to all the newcomers, let me know if you need any help getting settled in!
That's what brought me here! I'll miss RIF, but I think it's time to get used to something new. I appreciate how welcoming everyone seems!
oddly boost still works for me right now
Relay seems to still be working for me. Also, my personal shreddit app is still working.
I suspect reddit are leaving them operational so reddit can bill them at the end of the month.
Nice to have a new place to hang my virtual coat and peer into the endless void of the internet.
9 years and 33k Karma. Unfortunately it ends today.
Hello Lemmy. Guess this is where I'll go from now on.
Had 200k+ karma on my main account and 30k+ on several other accounts (adult account, etc.). I don't think Huffman or Reddit know what they're doing. Anyway, hello Lemmy!!!
Thank you for your warm welcome.
I never used a reddit ap, nor have I moderated, but I've watched the happenings and been incredulous at Huffman's (and subsequently Reddit's) behavior.
I'm really not ready. My Connect for Lemmy app is renamed to Lemmy is fun and is using the rif icon, it's hard to let go.
We are still going on infinity.
I just joined today and could use some assistance finding communities that I'd fit into. I'm into Cybersecurity and all matters of computing. If anyone has a suggestion please reply and thanks for having me :)
Welcome
I was interested to see what the rush was going to be like when Reddit mobile apps shut down. Looks like it might be pretty significant. Is this bigger than the blackout rush?
We'll soon find out based on how many times we have to copy paste an explanation of how community search works to confused new Lemmings ๐
Hello, my first comment here. How do I save images? (Iโm using wefwef app for ios btw)
i don't know about ios but some client allow you to copy image url, just copy image url and paste in browser long press on image and click save/download. If client not provide image url then copy post url and open it in browser then follow same steps from long press on image
god damn haha.
Just uninstalled RIF this morning when I opened it up like I always do when I wake up.
It was a good run but dang. Now I'm trying to figure all of this fediverse stuff. The app Jerboa on Android seems to be working pretty well.
What app is most like Bacon Reader? I'm on Connect but feeling a little lukewarm so far
That's your best bet at the moment. Liftoff was another decent option but latest update doesn't see the lemm.ee instance for some reason. Things will get better on the app front in a month or 2 when Boost and Sync go live.
I'm on the Thunder train. Most like Sync.
Lemmy is the Future! :D
Hi there! What are some good subs for anyone trying to stay away from nsfw?
you can literally turn of nsfw when you make your sign in on a lemmy server.
Yeah there's a checkbox for it under profile settings. There's a ton of great communities, I've subscribed to around 40. Once you get a good set of communities can just set your default to "Subscribed" in profile settings. That will be your front page. You don't really want to use "Local" because it may not be very active. "All" has a lot of stuff in it you may not want to see. There's a few communities where I don't ever want to see their content. See lemmyverse.net for community info. There's a lot of good communities on kbin as well (you can access those from Lemmy and vice versa).
I want to create a community for my local city but when I click the button after entering the name, description, logo, etc. Nothing happens. Do I need to do something first?
Hey! Unfortunately, the errors on community creation are not currently properly displayed in the frontend. What name are you trying to create the community with?
The most common reason for failure is simply the community name already being in use.
Hmm, I did a search for it again upper and lower case and it didn't return a result. I'll keep playing around and see how I get on, thanks!
Just checking - are you definitely trying to create the community with a lowercase name?
Does it already exist on your instance? I think it needs to be lowercase too.
"Migrants" is fine. "Refugees" makes light of people in our community who are actually suffering the extreme hardship of being forced from their home with nothing.
Hey, there is no intention of making light of anybody, but if my use of that word bothers anybody then I don't mind changing it in my post.
Jesus fucking Christ chill out. Shit like this will just turn people away. Get off your high horse and understand that nobody is making light of anyone's situation by using that term. So annoying.
This is a community for discussion about this particular Lemmy instance.
