Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

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

  1. Install the Stylus extension/addon on your browser. (Chrome, Firefox)
  2. Install the custom CSS from UserStyles.world.

Here's what lemmy.world looks like 'pag naka-install na siya. Enjoy!

A post from lemmy.world as styled by my custom CSS.

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 =)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Not as vibrant pa sa /r/ph but we all have to start somewhere. πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

This community is a lot more active than I expected. I should probably used the same username I had in reddit. Oh well. It's a fresh start, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Hello! Sa wakas nakagawa na din ng account. thank you po for setting up this community

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

whew time to sort my nsfw list na. hahaha. meron bang import/export ng acc or sub para mas madali? haha

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Salamat sa pag-set-up nitong r/efugee camp!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

So, I came from the main Reddit boards saying that you change sites altogether. Still retained an account with a similar username right there.

Anyways, maligayang pagbabalik, kabayan.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

~~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!)

Hi fellow refugees!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Nice. This is pretty great. Looks like a lot of my subs have moved here.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Here I was thinking na sa Squabbles ang refuge, buti na lang meron dito.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

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 😭

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

saan po ang equivalent ng r/TotallyStraightPH ?XD

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Hello! Si /u/megane-kun po ito.

Salamat po sa pag-set-up ng community dito.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hello! Ito po ba official community ng r/Philippines? Ang dami kasing lumalabas sa Lemmy Community-Browser, nakakalito haha.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Nalilito rin ako. Tatlo yung nakita kong community dito:

  • [email protected] β€” Oldest post listed is from May 10, 2022.
  • [email protected] β€” From their sidebar: β€œβ€¦ an explicitly pro-Joma Sison and pro-CPP-NPA-NDF community. ” Oldest post listed is from January 12, 2023.
  • [email protected] β€” 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] 9999monkeys 5 points 1 year ago

great job with this guideπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Fuck you Spez.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

And when you cry, and when you feel lonely

I hope your tears dry before they fall

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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 :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

Walang Mobile app eto? I can't browse this when using my toilet. πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meron. Jerboa for Android and Mlem for iOS. Links on the main post above.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Wefwef is also great for iOS. Almost apollo-like UI.

Created [email protected], because I can't bear lemmy.world's slowness.

I'm still the same anaralah, but on a different instance (lemm.ee)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

lemm.ee is the best instance, no bias 😁
