Have you ever been to Tiananmen Square?
  • I went there in 2009. I was too young to appreciate the culture. Locals were busy selling tourists goods and I wasn’t even sure what to soak in at the square.

  • 3 days until reddit's 3rd party app shutdown, Lemmy users drive 985% surge with total 5.7 million comments this month
  • I’m using Memmy right now. All the Apollo users should fully migrate when it’s down.

  • Laura Ingraham Names and Shames Republican Live On Air For Voting With Democrats - Newzasa
  • First of all who watches Sky News. I’ll just end it there.

  • Lifesize sculpture of Julian Assange appears outside UK parliament
  • Assange will definitely remain in Belmarsh prison.

  • Obama calls out obsession with Titanic sub while people turn blind eye to migrant boat tragedy
  • A Netflix documentary cannot be made from the refugees. There is nothing to dramatise unlike the sub case.

  • Wagner Group 300 km from Moscow edit Sorry yall I am an American and typed miles out of muscle memory
  • So the Wagner Group is 300km from Moscow and Putin is on his way to St. Petersburg.

  • Anyone else feels that they're more active on Lemmy than they were on Reddit?
  • Lemmy has made me realize that choosing communities (similar to subreddits) is important to me. I try not to search by /all and find information I am interested in. Having to join new communities again is not exactly a problem.

  • Need help learning how to read books again
  • You most likely don’t have as much free time on your hands. That is a major reason for this. You can start with smaller books of interest to get the feeling of completion.

  • Is this real life?
  • Yevgeny Prigozhin is ruling the news right now

  • The public feud between Prigozhin and Russian military brass just got very real
  • Imagine if the defence secretary just follows the steps suggested by the former defence secretary Mark Esper.

  • NBA DRAFT MEGA THREAD
  • Future MVP will be drafted in the ads once again.

  • Any footballers here?
  • Do you understand it or not? Check out both names for Spurs.

  • Today I learned @lemmy.ml AskThinkingTim @lemmy.world
    TIL that ladybugs are also called ladybirds

    I am Australian and have always known it exclusively as the American term “ladybug”. Never heard of ladybird before.

    Is there an article someone could point to that explains how kbin, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world etc. all relate to one another?
  • kbin.social, lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are all instances. You can create separate accounts on each one. You can access most information from other instances using just one account in one instance.

  • How to Google without Reddit
  • This is the same as stack overflow

  • Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?
  • I feel as though the user base is a large part of the problem. I might be wrong but the accessibility of social media that have apps is a lot easier for the younger population who these days are flooding social media. I don't think a lot of people use forums or currently Testflight apps such as Memmy (for Lemmy). The iPhone is the phone for influencers and if Lemmy officially releases an iPhone app the same problems may happen.

  • Can you find Lemmy posts on google/search engines now or in the future?

    My understandings on the Fediverse is unclear right now. Will you be able to search for posts just as in stack overflow and reddit right now?

  • When the workforce dominated by workers at the edge of retirement they want to go to work at least 5 days of work for their sanity. They don't even care about their pay. Only a workforce with the same goals would understand. I know people who try to extend hours and have no plans after work. I on the other hand want to get the job done as fast as possible and makes plans afterwards.

  • Why do some people still have hope for Reddit?
  • They are just following the reactionary social media norms these days. The lack of proper passing of information and just humoured by the subreddit protests such as in r/pics. Some people are not actually on Reddit for information.

  • Wage theft is the biggest form of theft in the US, by far.
  • If companies at all levels pay their employees properly they will receive better output. It’s a win win situation. You get what you pay for.

  • Community for watch enthusiasts

    The community I have created is for watch enthusiasts and those interested in horology.

    [MEGATHREAD] promoting Lemmy.world communities

    I'm not sure if there is a place to promote your own communities in lemmy.world. I decided to create a thread where you can post and promote your own community.

    Mine is focused on watches: https://lemmy.world/c/watches

    Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

    I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming?

    I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

    "Subscribe Pending" in Yellow

    Does anyone else get subscribe pending when subscribing in another instance?

    How to subscribe to a community in another instance?

    When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "!nostupidquestions@lemmy.ml"

    Maybe I just need to wait.

    Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow

    If I was to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance

    Does anybody knows how long it takes to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance with an account? It would give me the green wheel and I don't know if I have to wait "x" amount of time or it's just not possible at this time.
