They are used for demographics that are required by federal law for some business', for example filling out an application for a loan, they have to collect this information so they can prove they offer services to everyone regardless of race or gender. I realize that this is a joke from but most of the list include Male, Female, Other (with an input field), and prefer not to say. In case you wanted to know.

You can change that setting via the actually lemmy instance page. For me I logged into lemmy.world and the settings there set All and New. That setting carried over into whatever app I used.

You mean the scooters that you ran over you fingers all the time and surprised your fingers aren't little pancakes today?

I tend to sort by new and all, and it seems like the majority is bots copying posts over from reddit, they have original link to the post on Reddit but there is the bot disclaimer on a lot of posts recently. Maybe it will die down a little once these bots move all the data from reddit to lemmy

What if I have tattoos because I like art and there isn't a meaning behind it, I just want to look at art all the time? Still scum of the earth? Lol

I just switched over to lemmy from reddit, and it is much nicer here isn't riddled with ads and toxicity. I just hope that more users do join over here, since there were a few subreddits/people I followed and would still like to see there updates/posts
