  • I want more people.to.use federated social media. Lemmy and kbin are among the best federated social media they just need more users and content.

  • thanks for the link, I have fixed it now

  • help me choose my next distro

    Jump

  • Fedora is a good choice. It is stable while being fairly up to date. The only issue is that (I think) proprietary drivers aren't included by default.

  • We're giving Lemmy a try: Welcome to !privacyguides@lemmy.one

    Jump

  • Yep, a lot of people (including me) moved to beehaw for that reason.

  • What's your favorite IDE?

    Jump

  • For anyone who doesn't know; Helix is an editor with vim like keybindings with more out of the box functionality than vim.

    I am using it too and like it.

    The only problem I ran into is that the search and replace function (across.multiple files isn't very good).

  • Reddit: Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.

  • How comes engagement is so low on lemmy.ml lately?

    Jump

  • I don't really think Lemmy.ml will have very good retention of new users. Because:

    1. New users will mostly come from reddit or mastodon.
    2. Most users of reddit and mastodon willing to leave are anti corporate, anti authoritarian, anti-war, pro human rights.
    3. A lot of posts that you see on Lemmy (either from Lemmy.ml or lemmygrad) are pro-russia, pro china or anti-western to the point of being really annoying. Its not fun to talk to people without a hint of nuance.

    So it is not surprising that new users will get turned off by this and leave (or move to beehaw).

  • Any tips for those who want to start programming without having any knowledge?

    Jump

  • It is very hard to learn on your own. You will have problems that are completely new to you. Luckily most of these problems have ready been saved by someone, google and chatGPT is your friend.

    Try out this website: phind.com It is a search engine optimised for programmers.

  • Reddit vs Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I don't know sorry.

  • Reddit vs Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I think it just has the same themes as Lemmy.ml

    One thing that might work is if you have an android phone with Dracula theme and use the jerboa app.

    Jerboa should pick up the colour scheme from your phone (at least it does for me)

  • Some more progress with hexbear moving to LemmyNet

    Jump

  • Yeah they have actually been working on migrating back to a using a more current Lemmy version for a while now (around a year). But this post is making it look like it is actually close to happening.

  • Reddit vs Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Would you like to tell me how can I have Dracula theme specifically?

    I'm not really sure, the people who run your instance would need to add it. You could run your own instance and add it yourself (this repo has some examples of custom ui themes: https://github.com/2xx04/lemmy-ui-themes).

    P.S. BTW, I saw your response on Mastodon and it seems to be don’t support embed images via Markdown from Lemmy’s

    Yes federation with mastodon/pleroma isn't perfect right now. I believe the devs are working on it.

  • Lemmur is not connecting anymore

  • I am really liking jerboa, especially how it is following my device theme 😀. Thank you for your work on this.

  • Reddit vs Lemmy?

  • Lemmy vs reddit

    Federation

    The biggest difference is (and will likely always be) that LemmyNet instances are federated using activity pub. This means that posts, content and comments are shared across different activity pub instances.

    For example I have seen your post and am commenting from the beehaw instance even though you are using the Lemmy.ml instance.

    Lemmy is able to federate with mastodon and pleroma so you will see comments from there occasionally too.

    The main benefit of this (IMO) is that users don't get locked in to a website (e.g. facebook, Instagram, reddit) where they will lose content if they leave.

    UI

    You can change your theme in settings, but there is not a huge amount of variety, mainly it is colour changes.

    The lemmy front end is seperate to the back end so it would be possible to create a more reddit like front end if you wanted to. For example nutomic has creates a bulletin board - like front end for Lemmy that looks like this:

    There is an android app for Lemmy called jerboa that has a more reddit like UI that you might want to check out (you can find it on f-droid or the play store).

    other differences

    Text posts and comments on Lemmy are just markdown so you can do things like embed images (as you can see above).

    Edit:

    Other differences worth mentioning is the difference in content. Lemmy has less content than reddit although I think there is a sustainable number of users currently. More users will join soon when hexbear (a site that uses fork of an older version of Lemmy) migrates to join Lemmy net. It is also likely that some people will migrate from reddit when reddit ipo's.
