Are we on good terms with the mods of r/Lemmy and r/RedditAlternatives? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Yeah I moderate /r/Lemmy. If you need anything, let me know. I'm more likely to read your message quickly if you sent me a message through Reddit (a PM, not chat, as I still use RiF).

Men, how well do you know your best male friends? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I keep seeing men online (Reddit, Instagram, TikTok) saying how they don't know personal details about their male friends of several years. It is mostly said in a proud context, or in disbelief when a woman talks about it.

I'm talking about knowing someone for years and not knowing what they do for work specifically, their relationship status/major issues, their life goals, their family situation, birthdays, and stuff like that.

For context, I am a man in my 20s. I have a close friend group of around 10 people. We all know each other very well. We have a group chat, and meet at least once a week (obviously some people can't always make it). We know a lot of details about each other, so this idea of being close friends with someone and not knowing personal stuff about each other seems foreign and weird to me.

Does it actually happen, or just internet hyperbole?

TIL Steven Russell escaped from prison by using laxatives to fake AIDS, then called the prison posing as a doctor, asking for prisoners interested in an experimental treatment, and volunteered. (nowiknow.com)
 

Once out of Texas, he sent a death certificate to the prison stating he had died.

Lemmy vs Reddit in a nutshell in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm neither American, European, Russian, nor Chinese, and have no clear vested interest in any if them. Seeing how Americans view China as the "big evil" from the outside is just mind-boggling. Most of the bad stuff you think China did, they didn't. Some of the terrible stuff they did, the US did as well. They do have a bad side that the US doesn't have, but the US does some things worse than China.

Now its easy for the naive to just reply "whataboutism" to my comment and move on. But what I'm trying to say is that the world isn't black and white. The US isn't the "good guys", no one is. Take a look at some communities on Lemmygrad. You might change some of your views.

What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own? in c/[email protected]

It is common in the middle east, with some leeway. Like if someone is sitting diagonal to you such that your foot isn't directly facing them, it's okay. Unless its a professional meeting, then having your foot up is just disrespectful, but I imagine that goes for most countries.

is there a way to directly share an image rather than a link? in c/[email protected]

I'm on Android. Maybe this is default browser behavior on Android that doesn't exist on iOS.

Are you using an Android or an iOS?

Android or iOS?

How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though? in c/[email protected]

If you're still having issues with apps, try wefwef.app. I have no complaints since I started using it.

Though if Twitter goes under, I'm sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren't a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.

I mean I can do it. I tap and hold, and I see a "Share Image" option. Are you sure you aren't trying to share a thumbnail image from a link? Go to [email protected] and try it.

Edit: Wait, it also works on link thumbnails. Not sure why it doesn't for you.

I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it's the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.

I was waiting for Lemmy is Fun, but honestly, wefwef.app is just amazing, I don't really care anymore.

You Can't Look at Porn on Any Reddit Third-Party App Now in c/[email protected]

RiF still works, but without logging in. NSFW used to work up until yesterday. A couple of third-party apps still have complete access as well.

Why make an app for Tildes instead of Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)
 

I mean the dev is obviously free to work on whatever he wants, but I've had a Tildes account for like 2 years now, and honestly it never got any traction. Lemmy on the other hand is getting a lot of users, and it is desperately missing a non-buggy app.

Any specific reason?

Spoilers are allowed.

Whenever I finish watching a new movie, I like to go to Reddit and browse the discussion threads to see what people thought of it. From now on, I'll start a thread here if it doesn't already exist.

What did you think of the movie? How did you interpret the ending? Feel free to discuss anything about the movie you like.

What do you think of The Matrix: Resurrections? (lemmy.ml)

No spoilers for Resurrections please, I've only watched the first 3 movies in the last couple of days. Yes, I know that I'm 20 years late to the party.

I think the first movie is great, I hated the long action scenes in the second (Neo vs the Smith army got boring after a couple of minutes, and added no value), and mostly enjoyed the third, even though it didn't really feel like a Matrix movie.

I've read that the fourth is terrible. Is that because it ruined people's nostalgia, or is it really that bad? I'm probably going to watch it either way, just like to hear your opinions.

Running Nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi without internet (lemmy.ml)
 

Would self-hosting a Nextcloud instance locally without an internet connection be viable?

Use case: Around 5 people need to share files over the network, collaborate on Office documents in real-time, use GitLab, and a To-do/Task management tool.

Beyond the initial setup, does any of these requirements need an active Internet connection, or can we all connect to the Raspberry Pi server via Ethernet?

What's a fun project to work on with the Raspberry Pi? (lemmy.ml)
 

I thought about using my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ as a NextCloud server, but research told me it would be too slow to be useful. Any cool useful projects I can do, without any extra purchases? I'm extremely low on money currently.
