There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

i should have added it here a while ago!

Is there a way to export a list of all the communities (or kbin magazines) that I'm subscribed to? I can see the list on the right side of the front page, but that's more in the URL style -- I'd still have to parse out the !community@host.tld format of the community/magazine.

While all this was lemmy/kbin situation was fleshing out, I made accounts on a few different servers, but I'd like to centralize eventually.

i don't believe there's a way to do this, currently.

there's two issues that seem to be related to this:

Why do other some communities I'm subbed to when viewing through lemmy.ca show no posts, no users, etc?

Like if I view pixelart@lemmy.ml through lemmy.ca, it shows no posts.

Can somebody explain to me why this is "Canadian Server, run by Canadians"... but located in the Netherlands?

Edit: thanks for the informative responses!

Hey again, been a while since I posted in this thread! Was hoping to clarify a bit on the Lemmy.ca rules if I could. I have two questions:

  1. What is the stance on NSFL/gore content? Allowed, discouraged, banned?
  2. We have the rule "No porn." This sounds simple, but what is classified as porn. Is all nudity porn? Is nudity alright in an artistic context such as the Statue of David? What about a medical/injury setting, or a non-pornographic setting such as "public freakout" videos?

I ask these questions as I moderate !roadcam which could have both of these sorts of content posted to it, if not often. I am unsure if I want to ban that content outright, but it would be handy to know the instance rules first.

[–] smorks@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry for the delay, I talked this over with the other admins, and here's what we decided:

  1. NSFL/gore content is not allowed.
  2. That's a tough one. Artistic should be fine. Medical/injury should also be fine, as long as it's not wading into NSFL/gore stuff.

Hope that helps!

Thanks to the host!

So I joined the .ml instance because .can wasn't listed...but is there a reason why it's so difficult to find the communities from Lemmy.ca when I search?

Would it be easier to just make a .ca account ?

Hello world. :) I keep leaving he big boys for the Federated spaces. Sadly, no one I know is doing the same, so I'm a little adrift. Maybe that will change someday. Thanks for having me though. This really does fit the way I like to use a computer better.

Hi, everyone! Evaluating Lemmy to see if it's the right place for some Reddit communities if Reddit's screen-reader accessible third party apps go away. While there are certainly some issues, it's not that far off.
