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.
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.
Hello, I'm a long time lurker from Reddit. Thought I would give this a try, I'm interested. I live in Ontario and work in healthcare IT. I'm still figuring out how Lemmy works. I used to browse Reddit by /r/all and filtered out the communities I didn't want to see.. looks like I can sort of do that by setting the filter at the top to All.
I'm very curious how June 12th is going to shake out. Will Reddit back down? Is this price anchoring? Are they going to lower the cost? There's no way I'm paying a subscription to use reddit, even if it was $1 a month lol
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! I have a question. In the settings, there’s this thing called the Matrix User. What is it for/What does it do, and would it be useful to make a Matrix account?
yes, if you have a Matrix account, or if you create one and put it in there, then other users will see a "Send Secure Message" button on your profile page, which will open Matrix to send you an encrypted message.
Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification!
To expand on that, Matrix is a secure chat that operates in a similar fashion to Lemmy.
Oh ok, thank you!
No sweat
As someone who used to use FIDONet in the 90s, I have to say that I feel right at home in the Fediverse :)
It would be nice if each Lemmy instance could have its own design/custom features just like BBSes.
One thing I find confusing is the notification bell icon. I notice that even if I check it, it still registers the same number of notifications that it had done previously. This number never seems to go down. What's with that?
