Lemmy.ca's Main Community

This is fantastic; thank you for hosting this instance. I was more of a Reddit lurker but intend to be more active on this federated platform to help the community build. Having lurked a bit before registering I have to say that I hope the community vibe stays the same as it seems less toxic so far than a lot of the Reddit communities.

In the rules it says no porn allowed, does that also mean no viewing/commenting under porn? What if you post porn to another instance?

It's not the content I came here to post, but I think the answer will help me understand better how this works as the inter-operability is a bit confusing. As in, is the content posted to another instance hosted there or on this one (due to my account being here), and do I follow their rules, these rules, or both?

Greetings ~~shitlords~~, fellow Canadians.

Hi. Calgarian checking in. I am happy to find this!

Love Sci fi, fishing, minesweeper and astronomy.

Nice to meet you all! Still getting used to the website, I have some instances who work always great, and others working meh, but hey, I think a lot of tweaks will have to be made because we are a lot to migrate here lol

Hi folks!

I'm Anvil, a student in his final term of an I.T. program. I moved to Ontario for school, so it's been a bit of a wild ride. I'm hoping to find a good Reddit alternative for after RIF goes down due to corporate greed.

General interests include games (PC, switch, PS5), books (fantasy and sci-fi mostly), movies, and music. Big fan of board games and TTRPGs too (#ForeverDM)

Here's to the future!

Fediverse fan here, joining here as there's no Irish lemmy that I could find. I'll be looking for Music/Guitar/Piano communities, and software/programming type groups.

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.

Calgarian living in Shanghai here. Really disappointed in the direction that reddit is heading, so may be looking for a new home. Hoping to find discussions about hockey, cycling, Android, and scifi / Star Trek which were my favourite things to talk about on reddit.

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 [email protected] 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.

With reddit going south with their API change (it seems), it's nice to have a new place to chat, discuss and get informed. Hopefully the disinformation will be kept to a minimum!

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

Like if I view [email protected] through lemmy.ca, it shows no posts.

Hey all! Came here after the Reddit news like a lot of you. Getting my feet wet around here, but I'm into technology and metal so that's where I'll head out to.

Good to be here! Thanks for setting it up!

Hi! Thank you and hi everybody :) I just opened account here and seems really good and better than I though it was due bad feedback of some people. Maybe Reddit has signed their gradually death sentence with the APIpocalypse. Using currently Jerboa and tried Lemmur before. Both are good but the design and intuitive UI I rather Jerboa. But I don't receive notifications I think :(

Somebody know why? Some bugs writing comments also, maybe due the high traffic for the huge exodus from Reddit or Jerboa bug? I could connect with Kbin Social or Mastodon also since here? How? Thank you!

Howdy folks! Name's Series, and I'm from Ontario. I'm another one of those people who've been heading to Lemmy from Reddit after their rather unwelcome policies as of late. I first heard about it a few months ago, and thought the whole concept of federation was pretty cool, but didn't sign up. Clearly, that was a mistake.

This place seems pretty cool so far. I think I've still gotta get the hang of navigating, but that won't take long. Can't wait to see all the communities that'll pop up.

Hi all from Québec city, I came here searching for a new home, since reddit is likely dying, and had been getting less friendly as time went on. I am still finding my way around here. Thanks to everyone who is making this community possible.
