Unfortunately you have block each community individually at this moment.

I became more active here because I don't feel like I'm contributing to a corporation. This is an open source software run by people who are just doing it because they like doing it.

That's not going to happen on Lemmy. It is technically possible but it's very highly unlikely.

Lemmy is an open source software that anyone can run on their own computers. People can't run their own reddit because its source code is closed. When a person runs lemmy on their server (computer), it has its own domain name (like google.com). Each domain name is a different instance, like lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. These different instances can talk to each other and exchange posts and comments. This is called federation. This means you can create an account on lemmy.world and post comments and posts on sh.itjust.works. There are over 1000 instances. They can all talk to each other unless they choose not to. When an instance decides to block another instance, it is called defederation. Each instance is its own seperate thing and instances talk to each other in the background. Your account data is only stored on the instance you signed up on.

Anyone that's had a relationship with an animal knows this

Exactly. They talk about it like it's a groundbreaking new discovery.

 
 

I want to selfhost a messaging service for my family. It should be secure and have voice calling option, ideally. Thank you.

 

We can only post images on Lemmy without using external services. What hosting service should I use? It should be open source and run by donations, ideally.

I did, thanks for pointing it out.

I was searching on Jerboa. It looks like it doesn't have that feature yet. I thought Lemmy itself didn't have that feature.

Am doing something wrong or does that functionality not exist yet? I would love to search posts and comments using search terms. It would greatly help to discover content.

 

Mick West makes some good arguments here. What do you think?
