MODERATORS
I made a community called cringeworld for fans of the old cringe subs
c/cringeworld
How does one find this community?
If you click on their profile, it shows the communities that they moderate
But only if you do it from their home instance (lemmy.world in this case), on other instances it just shows their comments
I have a broad question. Forgive me if it's dumb as I am not super technically savvy.
Is there a way to put a massive set of common image memes into a pool we can pick from and just have something point to that image? I keep reading that storage space is quickly going to be an issue for instances, and that seems like a good way to reduce some data.
A big pool will go down or encounter copyright issues. In the end the internet is a network of physical devices on which we put stuff. If you have a couple of bucks available, you can rent a vServer and just put your stuff there and make it linkable + tagged. If a bunch of people do it, a lemmy community with a link collection could provide this. But it always needs some person to put it up, otherwise it's just back to the big corporate silos.
I'm trying to do this bit by bit by renting some machine from Hetzner, starting with a blog or sth.
Edit: Just found Pixelfed, a federated image hosting platform :D
I don't lurk just to lurk, I just have nothing to say most of the time. Still waiting on the niche reddit communities I was a part of to make it here, if they ever do.
I only lurked on reddir but here saying something feels more impactful somehow. Post some fleeting thoughts to begin with, it helps to pump up our rookie numbers.
First comment on Lemmy, I'll try my best not to lurk! Really hoping to see this thrive.
I always mostly lurked on Reddit for years from fear of being judged, I struggle with anxiety and feel like I won't contribute anything.
I feel you.
I am currently also just on reddit for lurking or searching things like "best maple-sirup which could be bought in germany".
However, if my wife can move from france to germany because of our relationship, I can move from reddit to lemmy.
Hello everyone! I must say that it's a bit confusing and all, especially finding new communities. But it seems like it has lots of opportunity!
Noticed the same thing. Finding instances seems easy, but not sure how to find communities within said instances.
You can use the Lemmy Community Browser. On the left you can open a menu and deselect instances where you do not want to look for communities (why, though? xD). It sometimes can take a day or so for new communities to appear in the browser.
Let's face it. without shitposters and casuals a social network can't thrive. You need the chaotic energy it brings.
Does avidly upvoting comments count?
