For the most part, it should be. Will it? Time will tell. A lot of people are actively hostile to the idea of federation, even on lemmy. It’s very “complicated” for a lot of non-techy people to grapple with, but unfortunately as more and more centralized platforms implode its just going to have to become a new normal out of necessity regardless.

Oooooof yeah I didn’t even think about the fact that instance might fuck up the user account number statistics. Ugh. I don’t think that’s a lemmy thing, that’s an alien.top thing.

Idk if this was wonky kbin federation or spam to start shit but posting it three times in a row isn’t going to lead to more people biting the bait

Knitting my own garments (sweaters, scarfs, etc) has made me appreciate how long it really takes to make actually good clothing that’s meant to last. Thankfully more and more people are getting on board with the idea of “slow fashion”, with a significant amount of younger people especially during the pandemic picking up knitting and crochet as well as seeing more of the value it possesses than before.

Antisemitism. Welcome to being Jewish on the internet.

What the fuck? I looked at that title and thought there was no way I am reading this right, but yep I am.

Ugh. What the fuck

https://lemmyverse.net is a good place to find more communities as well as the new communities community as mentioned. I’ll also add !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is good as well :)

Let it happen organically. It will happen in waves.

There are some in development! Gotosocial is very very single user friendly and easy to setup and so is writefreely. I do hope in time there is a “lemmy lite” version that has local communities disabled completely and more local user friendly settings. It likely will in time, but we will see.

It’s gradually improving but its 100% not ready for full production outside of enthusiasts who are willing and patient enough to take the time and effort to wrangle with its quirks. If you want to self host (especially as a single user) and aren’t prepared to make vigorous backups and aren’t extremely technical inclined/are a regular average user it’s *really *not worth it right now. It likely will be in time, but there’s a lot of issues with lemmy that need to be addressed. Thankfully the coming update will address some of its most serious though. It helps to be involved in the admin matrix community chats and generally accepting community assistance, but it’s just far too much to keep on top of for most people. If I didn’t have a community and mine was a single user instance, I 100% would have shut it down weeks ago and migrated over to a larger instance.

I think for a shitpost instance a custom ad network banner ads with memes and shitposts would be make sense. What I mean by that is that on geocities as well as some small internet sites there’s “custom ad networks” where they basically rely on donations and or just random people submitting “ads” that normally tend to be just links to their site, weird obscure memes, animal pictures, etc.

I think real ads for the sake of advertising on lemmy wouldn’t really be acceptable in any form, but shitposting ads have potential imo

No. “R****d” is a slur against disabled people. It has an extremely dark history and people with disabilities have been advocating against it for years. It has a very, very, very dark historical connotation here in the US.

Hey uh let’s please not use the r slur

Are you able to renew the SSL certificate? It appears to be expired.

I can vouch for slrpnk.net. Their staff team is fantastic and extremely proactive in engaging on matters pertaining to user safety.

What reasons are they uncomfy and is there any way we can make women safer here? Not sealioning, being genuine. I try my best to make my instance as inclusive and welcoming as possible and would love to know if there’s anyway I could improve. I honestly would go as far to say there’s a pretty high ratio of women on literature.cafe compared to other small niche focused instances, but I don’t have any actual statistics to gauge from to say definitively.

It makes me so sad. As a certified short king it makes me sad that I’m gonna have to deal with the annoyance of giant phones in my little baby hands again sooner rather than later as it’s no longer supported…

The subreddit is filled to the brim with such abhorrent people I’m kinda shocked they haven’t been forced to take action against it.

It should be noted, it is likely coming to lemmy specifically soon.
