Hello everyone, new to Lemmy!
I had randomly picked up Lemmy.world but found Lemmy.ca along the way.
Was hoping to sign up here but it seems to be having issues. Hopefully that gets resolved over the next few days and I can land over here with y'all.
If not, I guess it doesn't really matter. I can just sub around here too.
Fediverse is cool :)
Is there anyway for users to hide/dismiss pinned messages? This topic keeps appearing first and the only option seems to be block you, or main. Both of which I don't want to do, I personally just do not need to see this 2 week old pinned message, I know others do though
i don't believe there's a way to hide/dismiss them, sorry! seems like it would be a good feature request.
Collapsed would be an option maybe.
Thank you for hosting this instance, it looks pretty good for how young it is! I hope the recent rise in users isn't causing you any major problems :)
Aloha. I see that "mamot.fr" is a linked instance here. Can I subscribe here, to something like mamot.fr/@pluralistic?
unfortunately not. I too enjoy Cory's writings. I think that following users might be a planned feature?
mastodon users can post/comment on stuff at lemmy however.
Any reason why my front page is mostly posts from a week ago, regardless of whether i set it to "Hot" or "Active"?
Top of the Day or New seem to be the best options right now. Top of the Day should return new posts with lots of activity, while New will often return posts that don't yet have comments.
I am so pleased to find a suitable alternative to reddit. Before reddit I mostly just visited Slashdot - And I've been going back recently as well. I hope to frequent lemmy + slashdot now.
Just curious to hear from any long-time users what expectations might need to be managed for a new user to lemmy/fediverse.
Fairly new here--- I'm trying to sub to some /c/ in .ml but I'm seeing "subscribe pending" and I wasn't seeing that when I was subscribing to communities earlier. Is this a bug or does my sub request need approval from a mod in that community?
Hello Lemmians... Lemmites? Lemmons?
What's the preferred nomenclature for the denizens of this site?
New to lemmy as a previous redditor. I'm having a hell of a time trying to subscribe to other server's communities. For instance, if I search !indieheads@lemmy.world on lemmy.ca, nothing is found, having the same issue with !wine@lemmy.world. How do I subscribe to these communities from a lemmy.ca account? Thanks in advance for any help!
Hello everyone. It's nice to meet everyone, it's so warm here. You may call me Lenny since it's the real nickname of mine people have started referring to me as. I'm a 23-year-old woman from Vermont who works for a reporting place (sort of) and likes art and cryptography. I'm on both Lemmy and Reddit but Lemmy has truly grown on me. Thanks for having me here, and feel free to ask questions.
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on Lemmy. I haven't posted on social media since 2020 due to my fear of engagement algorithms.
So far, I really like it. The interface is clean, and it's easy to use.
Cheers
Thanks for this awesome server, it really is so chill to have a place with decent users and without the drama of lemmy.world.
