What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other "ActivityPub" software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on Lemmy.one, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!

What is Lemmy.one?

Lemmy.one is a general-purpose instance of Lemmy—a self-hostable, decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators—hosted by myself (Jonah). I am the administrator of the Mastodon server mstdn.party, and the founder of privacyguides.org.

This instance is generously supported by our contributors, if you use this instance to interact with the fediverse, please consider a monthly contribution to support my work.

What are the rules here?

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism
No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
No content illegal in the United States, Germany, or Finland
Do not share intentionally false or misleading information
Do not spam or abuse network features.

As a general-purpose instance, we do not have heavy moderation in terms of what topics people are allowed to post about, however all users are expected to follow our rules at all times, and generally be nice and friendly on the federation.

Please report all content you see which might violate our rules for evaluation. If you are on a remote server, please forward any reports of our users to our server for our moderators to take action, we pledge that remote reports will remain confidential within our moderation team and will not be used for any form of retribution against the reporter.

My first comment! Really hoping Lemmy can be the replacement for Reddit :) trying this from the Memmy App!

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the server.

Hey so I've been on Lemmy for a few weeks now and I'm getting tired of seeing the pinned posts. How do I prune them from my feed? I've seen them. I don't need to keep seeing them several times a day.

The only way I can think of at the moment is to block @jonah and, while I'm reluctant to do that, so far nobody has given me another option.

[-] speaker_hat@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

@jonah@lemmy.one thanks for updating the instance to 0.18 🙏

[-] intrnt@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for creating this instance @jonah@lemmy.one and approving my account. <3

[-] Doombot1@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Seconded! I would’ve made my own comment but didn’t want to crowd things up any more than they already are. Thanks @jonah! Very excited to be a part of this all.

Reddit refugee here, great site. Fairly local for me so it's fast, fast. Thanks for the hooking me up!

[-] legion@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

What's up with downvoting? I can do it on other instances.

[-] anthonytran@mastodon.au 2 points 1 year ago

I think in this instance (lol) they've opted to disable downvotes since it's a smaller community. Instead, the sidebar encourages you to upvote other posts to encourage discussion :)

[-] legion@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Lame

[-] erik@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Not lame. Just not what you want. The joy is, there are instances that allow downvoting, which you are free to join, if that's the way you want to interact.

Hi all :)

I started on Lemmy but then kbin UI caught my attention so I migrated over there. Now I'm. Back to see what Lemmy is like now

Is there a way to link my kbin acocunt/subs to Lemmy? What's the easiest way to do this or the closest thing to it? I have more comments over there and would like to be able to continue discussions there, or see replies, etc? But now from Lemmy

Edit: I ended up pulling up my kbin subscriptions on 1 tab, and Lemmy search on the other, and just searched manually

[-] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Kbin is federated so you should be able to see content from kbin on Lemmy and vice versa. I don't really know how it works, but it should be/is possible. You cannot merge your accounts or anything like that though.

[-] dngray@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Kbin is federated so you should be able to see content from kbin on Lemmy and vice versa.

I checked our page on kbin ie https://kbin.social/m/privacyguides@lemmy.one vs https://lemmy.one/c/privacyguides and what I can say is that there are a lot of comments that don't appear to be federating. Doesn't seem to be a problem with other lemmy instances though.

[-] fenfalca@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Liking it here so far, but it would be a really good thing to enable downvotes. I hope you reconsider it!

[-] anthonytran@mastodon.au 1 points 1 year ago

@jonah I'm still getting used to navigating the federated space so forgive me if this seems utterly silly.

What's the best way to interact with lemmy.one/lemmy in general? Ideally I'd like to use my mastodon instance for singularity sake but I'm unsure how to interact (such as liking and interacting on lemmy directly) rather than through mastrodon. Sorry, didn't know where to ask

[-] jonah@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

You can't interact via the Lemmy interface without an account on a Lemmy instance. Mastodon lets you follow Lemmy communities, upvote posts (via likes), and reply to Lemmy posts like you did here, but all that only happens through Mastodon if you use a Mastodon account.

This is why for people who use Lemmy regularly it probably makes more sense to register somewhere like kbin.social or lemmy.one, but interacting via Mastodon like this is nice if you just want to leave a quick comment every once in a while without needing yet another account.

[-] kiwi@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

Is it possible to do the opposite? Can I connect from a lemmy instance to follow a couple of people on mastodon?

[-] jonah@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Lemmy doesn't let you follow individual users unfortunately.

[-] Plank@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Hey all, new used here. Making the pilgrimage from Reddit also. Hope to contribute to a growing community here!

[-] Sentau@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Is there a list of instances that lemmy.one has defederated with¿? I see several posts where the post data shows more comments than the post actually displays when it is opened. I am guessing this is either a bug or comments from instances which have been defederated

[-] lovesickoyster@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

any chance of getting a specific cycling community, like r/cycling?

[-] jonah@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

There's !bicycling@lemmy.ml already, or are you looking for something else?

[-] lovesickoyster@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

hah, I would swear there was nothing just a couple of minutes ago when I searched for "cycling". Thanks!

[-] jonah@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

There probably wasn't, because nobody on lemmy.one had "discovered" it yet. It is slightly complicated, but you can find remote communities more reliably with a tool like https://browse.feddit.de/, and then paste the URL of the community you find in the search page. That will tell lemmy.one to fetch the community from that server, the communities you see on lemmy.one are ones where that process has already happened.

Hi all, thanks for having me :)

[-] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for coming. You bring any snacks with you?

[-] Cralex@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

Very, very slowly getting the hang of this. I got the Mlem iPhone app on testflight, but it's not as nice to use for discovering new communities as on the desktop. Thanks for hosting this beginner-friendly instance!

[-] DraconMarius@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

+1 for browse.feddit.de

I haven’t tried Mlem just yet, been on the browser for now, but I have been using lemmy explorer by @andycuccaro@lemmy.ml for the past two days.

You can set your home instance, then you can search for and navigate to available communities from your home instance automatically. Less copy and pasting imo!

[-] Flippanteer@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Some apps are better than others at specific things like this. I encourage you to check out Thunder, Memmy, and Liftoff as well, all for iOS. My preference so far is Memmy, and their latest search function is pretty good for communities, posts, and profiles.

[-] Solstice@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

Hello 👋 hoping Lemmy can be great.

[-] n3rv@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

seems interesting, lets see where it goes!
