Some people use Lemmy. If you create a community and set it to moderator only mode you’ll be able to post updates as new threads that are federated without random people starting conversations outside of the posts.

Holy shit this is the first I’ve heard of Playlet. Giving it a go now and it’s already impressive.

I don’t think it’s a major offense to reply in your own language but since most of Lemmy is English speaking I try to respect the spaces that are clearly meant for something else.

I like to translate what I’m posting to whatever language the community is using. If I mention I’m using a translator the OP or another commenter will reply in English if they feel comfortable. [email protected] is one that comes to mind where this has happened in the past.

I agree.

Lemmy is still finding its feet and I think things like this will improve as it continues to grow and mature.

While Lemmy has been around since before the reddit drama, many of the large surges in users have been reddit refugees. As a result a lot of the apps we have are ports of reddit apps that the devs slapped together in a hurry to let users pivot to Lemmy. As time passes we’re seeing a number of new apps pop up with Lemmy specific features, and some of the older apps are still/finally being updated to be more feature rich.

The software Lemmy runs is also changing fairly rapidly so there’s some feature disparity between the webui and the various apps. Part of the normal growth process for a younger social media imo, but frustrating at times.

At the bottom of the page on every Lemmy instance there’s a link that will show you the instances it’s federated and de-federated from. Look for the link labeled ‘Instances’ from a web browser. Here’s the link for lemmy.world that your account is on-

This assumes the department or people involved with fulfilling these requests hasn’t already been compromised or shut down. The request means nothing when it never gets looked at.

I only know about it because I happened to see their announcement when they launched the instance. It sounds like it was a reddit movement before they came to Lemmy.

Just an FYI the 50501 group launched a Lemmy instance somewhat recently.

I guess they got ahold of stronger glue.

Only because they wanted to huff it. The panel thing was just a coincidence.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Good thing when my main rig goes down I have a, checks notes, 16 RTX 4090 BACKUP MACHINE.

If you happen to use or try the Voyager app they have a migration tool that is supposed to work well.

The adjustment can be a little awkward at first but there’s plenty to do on Lemmy if you take some time to learn how things work and how to get the most out of it.

If you’re the type of person that enjoys posting and guiding topics there’s no shortage of people hungry for content on Lemmy. There are lots of active communities but even more that are still trying to get off the ground or need someone interested to adopt them.

Whatever your interests, https://lemmyverse.net/ is a great way to find communities for the topics you care about if you aren’t finding them on lemmy.world.

I hope your time here is more enjoyable than where you’re coming from.

If only they’d programmed the AI to tell them this sooner.
