Who should we trust more:

the 3 military personnel/whistleblower who requested to be sworn in under oath

Or the person who frequently denies to be put under oath and instead vents on LinkedIn

Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction. in c/[email protected]

I see that too on Memmy but it shows blank on everyone but myself.

I have a feeling that Memmy just reuses the profile page view for everyone.

Wonder if this was why "Only Up!" was taken off the steam this morning.

Red box (lemmynsfw.com)
 

Read an article about building a Redbox either on the 2600 Usenet group or some other hack/phreak BBS probably around 1993. Went to radio shack the next day to buy the tone dialer and crystal. I messed up the solder pretty bad but it still works to this day.

Why is Lemmy.world getting over moderated as it has been functioning as our r/all equivalent by obvious user choice? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

I wonder if it's because [email protected] sidebar and rules say:

This Community is intended for posts about the Lemmy.world server.

That means announcements from the team, issues you see etc.

There's so much spam in this community already. People are using it as a catch-all community

SOTA was the biggest reason I got into amateur radio. Love mixing radio/tech with getting out in the fresh air.

Adding allowed instances in c/[email protected]

thank you! that's exactly what I was looking for. Was originally testing and added lemmy.world as an allowed instance and was wondering why federation wasn't working. TYSM!

Adding allowed instances (lemmy.world)
 

I recently spun up my own lemmy instance and was wondering if I had to manually add other lemmy instances to the 'Allowed Instances' admin field, or if they are added automatically when someone searches for a lemmy instance?

Is Lemmy cross compatible with Kbin? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's the biggest thing that turned me away from using kbin. It almost seems like it wants the community/posts from its instance to be the de facto ones. /tin foil hat

Is Lemmy cross compatible with Kbin? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (8 children)

Yep! I've had issue direct searching for kbin communities here and communities from here on kbin though. I think that kbin federates very slowly.

Examples:

Best Providers for hosting a Lemmy Instance? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yea I wouldn’t mind knowing what the average storage size would be. I’m usually a linode user and I saw they were going to bring up adding lemmy to its marketplace.

So what do you need to talk to a $100 billion space station? As it turns out, about $60 worth of stuff will do.

Graphs and Charts and other fun things? (lemmy.world)
 

Are there any websites that show any awesome graphs or charts for data that lemmy generates? Usage, user signups, post creation, comments, etc...? I have to imagine the fediverse generates some pretty amazing data.

You guys hate carpet in the bathroom? I can one up that. My parents have a bathroom with carpet that goes up the bathtub walls! Bonus points for the terrible wallpaper. in c/[email protected]

Not sure why carpet in the bathroom gets so much hate. Drying off is as easy as rolling around on the floor.
