I honestly think it’s a good sign for the development of Lemmy to read guys like these!

I am not quite sure how this works - where is my “passport” created? On a centralized platform? What if I want to have different accounts on different instances?

You can’t block it for the search, but your instance Admins can. For example, sh.itjust.works defederated from hexbear.net, but I find many hexbear communities in Voyagers Explore page when sorting by top.

It is also measured in inches in Europe and it is weird. Electronics get sold globally and I guess nobody wants to discuss a “139.7 cm TV”.
It’s a magic number though and I cannot imagine the sizes. I just know that 55 is bigger than 49. It is the same with phones, where it is much less important as screen ratios “get improved” every year and the diagonal means basically not much.

We are on vacation right now and my SO actually wears only the bottom of the bikini and goes bra less to the beach, because she says it’s unfair I can free my nipples and she can not. Well that’s pretty fair I would say?
We are European though and probably a bit less prude than US Americans.

Most of the time one community comes out as the strongest contester and then that one is mainly used. But people can also use communities on others instances, for example if they don’t agree with moderation. When I started on Lemmy 2 years ago I was also skeptical of this concept, but now I see it as a perk. Regarding the duplicated communities on lemmy.ml, just instance block ml and you are fine.

I want to add the Latin name for the bumblebee genus is Bombus, which in itself is a pretty strong argument.

Just wanted to say scheduled signal message. Had this some weeks ago and it drove me crazy. Glad you found out by yourself!

You just unlocked a memory! Haven’t thought of these little guys for decades! My favorite:

I know people use YouTube differently, but for me it always was a platform for “video sharing”. I don’t really watch YouTubers, but use it for funny videos, stuff from our publicly funded broadcast channels, music videos. So I guess I am not really using it for channels that require ads. Also I do not watch ads at all at any time due to ad block, and never would.

unfortunately have to have an alternative source of income

How the fuck do I get started with cryptocurrency?

Who is going to tell them

Well, I am not really familiar with other fediverse services, so maybe Lemmy is a special case. But I can’t comment on peertube or follow someone on Mastodon. In theory it is connected, but in reality it’s not fully implemented yet.

Great video! “It’s all connected” might be a bit exaggerated though.

I know it’s super sad lemm.ee closes down… but somehow all these changes seem like an exciting thing? I mean the community discusses and decides where to go, how to rename etc. It feels like a real opportunity to participate

Honour killing is such a rare thing, I find what you are saying blatantly islamophobe tbh. Do you know how many Muslims there are in the world?

I found this repo with a Rust tool to auto remove comments. I have not tested it though: https://github.com/skullgiver/lemmy-comment-auto-delete

Interesting. Let’s see if it federates, I didn’t expect a backup of posts anyway!

Beautiful! Can you give us a link?

Totally depends where you are. If you apply at my work place you will need to send your graduation certificate with your application, which you would need to fake. And I would not recommend to do that, as it can get you intro a lot of trouble.

Usually the community mods should pin a post with the new link. In small communities it might be worth to contact the moderator directly to bring the shutdown to their attention.
