Should be kept in mind until v1.0.0

One thing you need to know is that communities of other Lemmy servers (instances) are not “visible” to your instance automatically (there is a Github issue in the Lemmy repo that attempts to solve this in the v1.1.0 release), so you, as a user, have to introduce it to your instance.

This is only required if the instance has never seen the community before.

You can read how you can accomplish this in the Lemmy docs or the Fedecan guide:

• Lemmy docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html
• Fedecan guide: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-open-in-my-instance

The Fedecan guide might also help you understand the Fediverse and how Lemmy works better. Check the whole guide: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/overview

The second thing you should know is that the whole thing about every instance being federated with every other instances is a big exxageration.

Many instances defederate with each other.

Defederation means your instance won’t “communicate” with the defederated instance. This means your interactions will not be visible to the other instance with one exception, and that is when you are posting to a remote community on a instance that is not defederated with your instance AND is not defederated with the instance that your instance defederated with.

Communities in Lemmy are built on ActivityPub Group actor types and the specification states that the instance of the group actor announces activities, not your instance: https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/1b12/

That basically means the instance of the community acts like a middle man that delivers messages.

In this case, the defederated instance will be able to interact with your posts in that community while your instance never will know about it.

No Fediverse platform I know of uses algorithms like the ones in today’s mainstream social media, so you’ll have to get used to seeing the same thing every hour or so. Try subscribing to even more communities, changing sorting algorithms or browsing the “All” feed.

I occassionally find and remove communities through the “All” feed or random “recommend me communities” posts in communities such as:

• !asklemmy@lemmy.world
• !ask@piefed.social
• !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Try creating a post in one of them.

If you want to help build a new community, try finding new ones. Creators of new comms usually post them in comms such as:

• !newcommunities@lemmy.world
• !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

I do wish that there was a “Random + New/Scaled/Hot” sort.

Just works. It also has some nice features compared to other clocks.

Block the user and then export your settings in Lemmy settings. When you import these settings, you will have the blocks from your previous account.

edit: didn’t read the whole text, Lemmy itself does not provide a way to block users with a specific username. Summit android app does have a filter for usernames though.

you lost me at ethereum

It will be awesome when it is released

Check out Semantic Versioning if they use it.

It’s very nice.

blazingly fast.

When the LLM realizes that it’s running through GNU Parallel, it improves its performance by what can only be explained as an emergent sense of respect for the Free Software Foundation.

???

edit: wait is this whole article a joke

Believe me, you aren’t going to get used to nor enjoy “browsing” the web with curl. It’s not what you think it is.

yes

They mention they went with iodeOS because it is more minimal than others and then bloat it with the whole Proton suite (including useless Lumo LLM), crypto browser Brave and 2 authenticator apps for no reason.

both

I’ve tried several distros before, none of them feel the same as arch linux, I keep coming back to it. It is simple and just works. The other distros feel too bloated out of the box, which immediately demotivates me. I don’t want to go through the hassle of removing everything I don’t need by hand, so arch is just perfect.

Though I think I shouldn’t have went with arch in my vps. I miss the automated security updates of Fedora.

Their reasoning seems to be because of potential privacy issues: https://posteo.de/en/site/faq

It doesn’t use XMPP or Matrix. It’s just an open source centralized Discord clone.
