Welcome, everybody! No doubt this part of the fediverse will see gradual growth, but just the same I'm pleased to see old and new names here. I can't wait to be more active in interacting with you all =)

Spreading the word
If you know anyone who is having trouble joining Lemmy, ask them to register on a different instance like lemm.ee, click on the Search icon, enter !philippines@lemmy.world on the search field, go to Philippines@lemmy.world below, then smash that Subscribe button.
Not as vibrant pa sa /r/ph but we all have to start somewhere. ๐
Hello! Sa wakas nakagawa na din ng account. thank you po for setting up this community
Hello po!
~~saan po ang pila ng lugaw~~ thank you for this! we appreciate that there's still a thread sa mga naliligaw in real life (howtogetthere) at online (this post haha!)
I made a custom CSS style for Lemmy, baka gusto n'yo lang ibahin yung itsura sa inyo. I personally found the site hard to use, coming from Reddit, so I did this.
Steps
- Install the Stylus extension/addon on your browser. (Chrome, Firefox)
- Install the custom CSS from UserStyles.world.
Here's what lemmy.world looks like 'pag naka-install na siya. Enjoy!
saan po ang equivalent ng r/TotallyStraightPH ?XD
kek
-sent via lemmy(dot) em el ๐ฅด
whew time to sort my nsfw list na. hahaha. meron bang import/export ng acc or sub para mas madali? haha
I had a roundabout way of getting here. Used a different server to create an account (kasi stuck sa loading yung sa lemmy.world), logged in there, searched for philippines in the All tab for communities, before subscribing LOL
Salamat sa pag-set-up nitong r/efugee camp!
Coffee shop recommendations in Tagaytay na may outlets? My cousin and I are planning to work there tomorrow (habang nag-uunwind sana, if that's possible) XD
Hi! I was waiting for the official r/ph here. I guess this is it :) I hope ok tayo dito. Balak ko kasi idelete yung reddit account ko.
Medyo nakakalito lang. Napapost ako sa wrong thread :)
Magsidami kayo, para marami blessings ๐
Hello!
Gusto ko lumipat sa lemmy.world na instance (because I signed up for lemmy.ml not knowing the ideological tilt they have) but the perpetual loading is just off-putting. I have successfully signed up for lemm.ee though and it's run by an Estonian so I guess it'll be safer. The community over there at lemmy.world seems to be peaceful (I visualize it as New Zealand countryside) while kami dito sa lemmy.ml is parang New York or Manila kasi ito gateway sa Lemmy apparently ๐ญ
Sinubukan ko mag sign up dito sa lemmy.world pero nagloloko yung sign up at login page kanina kaya sa lemm.ee na ako nag sign up. But I'm here so it's cool i guess.
Sa lemmygrad.ml ako pangalawa nag-signup in my desperation to get something started. Nagtaka ako bakit ganun mga questions sa application form - Ano daw left tendency mo (Marxist ba or what) tapos need ba suportahan mga LGBT, haha.
Buti na lang mabilis sumagot dito sa lemmy.world.
I created my account sa latte.isnot.coffee and wala namang mga ganyang tanong, although its 2nd biggest community is China (1st one is Coffee)
I've been tinkering with my lemm.ee account and slowly transitioning from this account to there, but now I cannot access this community from there ๐ญ. Looks like there haven't been any lemmy.world subscriber from lemm.ee.
And I have already filed my registration for lemmy.world. Yet to have approval for my account though
Kaya ko pinili yun lemmy.ml, kasi yun mismo developer ng Lemmy nagpapatakbo neto. It's less likely to go down. Whereas kung sa maliit na server ako mag sign up, baka bigla na lang mawala. Yun ang kinakatakot ko.
Sinubukan ko rin mag sign up sa beehaw.org, pero nauna na ako tinangap dito sa lemmy.ml.
Hello! Ito po ba official community ng r/Philippines? Ang dami kasing lumalabas sa Lemmy Community-Browser, nakakalito haha.
Nalilito rin ako. Tatlo yung nakita kong community dito:
- !pilipinas@lemmy.ml โ Oldest post listed is from May 10, 2022.
- !pilipinas@lemmygrad.ml โ From their sidebar: โโฆ an explicitly pro-Joma Sison and pro-CPP-NPA-NDF community. โ Oldest post listed is from January 12, 2023.
- !philippines@lemmy.world โ This current community. Oldest post listed is from June 9, 2023.
According to the mod list for /r/Philippines, /u/decadentrebel is one of the mods, and if the mod for this community is the same user behind /u/decadentrebel in Reddit, then this one might be it. But even so, I can't say for certain if they're acting on their own personal initiative, or otherwise.
EDIT: Si /u/sarcasticookie din pala, mod sa /r/Philippines. So dalawa na sila sa modteam ng /r/Philippines na andito.
EDIT 2: Just took a peek at this thread from the reddit site, and yeah, this is the community for lemmy. There are others linked in the thread for other reddit alternatives.
There's been discussions for a week now where to set up shop as the site blacks out, kaso medyo busy karamihan sa mods so there's no back and forth where to exactly. So I took it upon myself to just figure out how Lemmy works, especially with "indefinite" talks percolating.
[!pilipinas@lemmygrad.ml](/c/pilipinas@lemmygrad.ml)โ From their sidebar: โโฆ an explicitly pro-Joma Sison and pro-CPP-NPA-NDF community.โ Oldest post listed is from January 12, 2023.
TIL may actual CPP-NPA-NDF supporters pala sa instance (lemmygrad.ml).
I wonder what would potentially happen if NTF-Elcac or if some high-ranking AFP/PA/PN/PAF or Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel, or some people at DICT, NTC stumbles on this community ([!pilipinas@lemmygrad.ml](/c/pilipinas@lemmygrad.ml)) on that lemmy instance.
What NTC and DICT gonna do, block that communist Lemmy instance like they did a year ago with bulatlat?
I don't know, but for their own sake, I sure hope any Filipinos, heck, any person in the lemmygrad and hexbear (more radical than lemmygrad) instances have excellent opsec practices.
Pihado, kung tagilid ang opsec practices nila, kung hindi yan sila titiktikan ng husto, gagawan ng kaso, o papatumbahin. Di na kailangang-i-redtag tho, soโฆ I guess that's a plus?
I actually made an r/PH version in Raddle despite an existing Filipino community being there already. Turns out, they're (in the mod's own words) "leftist/anarchist-centric" forum so he said that it's better off that we remain separate. ๐ฌ
Yup, ito official r/PH for Lemmy.
Madaming sumusulpot sa browser kasi may mga nauna na before for Philippines, some are even a few years old. However, all of them are under lemmy.ml which doesn't accept new registrations anymore kaya dito na lang ako sa lemmy.world nagtayo. And hindi kasing blatant mga "red" stuff sa instance na to, haha.
Walang Mobile app eto? I can't browse this when using my toilet. ๐
Meron. Jerboa for Android and Mlem for iOS. Links on the main post above.
Salamat sa pag-setup nito! Surprisingly easy to use ang lemmy at parang mas high-quality yung conversations so far. Sana dumami pa ang mag-signup!
Ang downside lang dito sa Lemmy is account approval. Admins kasi in charge nun and not us so depende sa kung tulog sila or what, you can't post asap just yet when you sign up. That, and the founder and the predominant "red" tinge. Yari tayo kina Sara, lol.
Pero other than that, this is the best among the Reddit alternatives from what I've tried/seen. Meron din siya mobile app, pero obviously not as good as Relay/Sync/Apollo.
Mejo concerning nga yung political leaning ng mga founders ๐ฌ Pero so far naman maraming instance options to balance it out. Problema lang mukha atang hindi siya designed for scale, kailangan talaga maraming instances
Pero so far sobrang mas OK ito sa Mastodon. Para siyang Hacker News quality pero mas maraming general interests
Hello! Si /u/megane-kun po ito.
Salamat po sa pag-set-up ng community dito.
Henlo
