Who should we trust more:

the 3 military personnel/whistleblower who requested to be sworn in under oath

Or the person who frequently denies to be put under oath and instead vents on LinkedIn

Gotta be honest: I’m all for communities. Hate magazines.

Admin Settings: What is 'Listing Type'? (lemmy.world)
 

In the admin config, there is a section called 'Listing Type' with options for Local and All. What does this option do?

I understand what 'Type' does in a users settings. It's the default for what is shown on the home page. How is this different if it is at all?

Wonder if this was why "Only Up!" was taken off the steam this morning.

Red box (lemmy.world)
 

Read an article about building a Redbox either on the 2600 Usenet group or some other hack/phreak BBS probably around 1993. Went to radio shack the next day to buy the tone dialer and crystal. I messed up the solder pretty bad but it still works to this day.

You can search on your instance in the search area: https://lemmy.ml/search

You can do a general search if you want or if you know the name of the community you want to sub to, you can search for [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

Another great way to simply find a community is by using https://browse.feddit.de/ Search for an interest/community there and then do a search with the community address on your instance like I said above.

Why is Lemmy.world getting over moderated as it has been functioning as our r/all equivalent by obvious user choice? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

I wonder if it's because [email protected] sidebar and rules say:

This Community is intended for posts about the Lemmy.world server.

That means announcements from the team, issues you see etc.

There's so much spam in this community already. People are using it as a catch-all community

thank you! that's exactly what I was looking for. Was originally testing and added lemmy.world as an allowed instance and was wondering why federation wasn't working. TYSM!

Adding allowed instances (lemmy.world)
 

I recently spun up my own lemmy instance and was wondering if I had to manually add other lemmy instances to the 'Allowed Instances' admin field, or if they are added automatically when someone searches for a lemmy instance?

We Are Not Alone: Grusch Interview Discussion in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This may be the first time I've heard a government official say that these are not be classic "aliens" but may actually be multi-dimensional beings.

Grusch did lose me a bit though when he said he didn't go to college but was appointed to his position because he knew physics. And the way he talked about it was a bit parochial.

Any SOTA enjoyers? (lemmy.world)
 

SOTA was the biggest reason I got into amateur radio. Love mixing radio/tech with getting out in the fresh air.

Listening to the ISS on the Cheap (hackaday.com)
 

So what do you need to talk to a $100 billion space station? As it turns out, about $60 worth of stuff will do.
