I've discovered Lemmy quite recently and I'm still learning how it works. One of the things I don't get is how small communities can become known? On the main page I can only see communities that I've already subscribed to. I can also see popular posts on this instance. But how post in a community can become popular if no one has already joined it?

I remember some time ago installing an app that allowed me to film in the background whilst having another app open on top. I believe this was from f-droid. I actually have a legitimate use for this.

So I saw a post just now that I deem as a bit dumb and I was shocked to see 13 boosts and only 1 reply so I thought to myself: Why Nobody critizing this shi? Then I clicked on the post on the original instance and there was Like 10+ replies critizing that post.. Why is That? Is it the fault of my instance? Or Is it just some mastodon bs?

Pump-and-dump schemes, fraud, ransomware, multi-level marketing, spam, incentivizing selfishness, greed, and general unethical behaviour, buying elections, quasi Nazis creating their own coins, et cetera. In my opinion, over the years the evidence has piled up tall enough to show that crypto"currencies" are an overal detriment to society.

A revolution is supposed to change things. Looking at things today, the only revolutionary idea left is to make society reflect the best of us instead of the worst. Most people prefer kindness and love. But lacking these values allows others to thrive in our world. They spend their time deceiving and exploiting the rest of us, people trying to enjoy life and things that bring joy and love. We can't do that by spending all our time dealing with the sad creepy weirdos ruining everyone's lives. So they're been able to shape the world. The only revolution left is to build something to undo what they've done. We need a force for love in the world.

I'm wondering if anyone made a fediverse like (aka multiple instances talking to eachother) for discord?

Hi, can anyone point me to discussions or e.g. working groups focusing on user experience aspects of Lemmy?

@opensource l am completely new in the world of Linux. I wish to build up a computer having Proxmox, MX Linux and casa os, also retaining windows.

Strava is an absolute nightmare to use. My feed is absolutely chock full of ads and dog-walkers. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy they're taking a 0.2 mile walk around their block and logging their progress, but I don't need to see it. Nike, TrainerRoad, Zwift, Peloton all have giant ads every time their users upload an activity. And I don't understand it because it's not an ad-supported network. Like I would happily pay to have all this shit hidden. It would be extremely simple for Strava to fix this, which would just be to provide me with a simple filter for what type of activities I'd like to see. The fact that they haven't done so, a long time ago, leads me to believe that they simply don't want to, for whatever reason. Plus they've already begun to enshittify by breaking integrations with third parties.

So in the comics topic I don't seem to be able to choose a view type like hot or new or such but when I went to a specific community I see its there but it changed a bit with drop downs sorta off to the left. Was there a change? Is this intended long term or did it just not take for topics?

so I spent last several days making collecting watch time on both videos and livestreams more robust and work across multiple peertube instances, im sure it still has gaps in the structure so that jenk data can get in.

@opensource what is lemmy basically ?

It randomly changed to My First F-Droid Repo Demo. Only thing I could find was this reddit post from 3 days ago:

- This coming week along with regular working groups meeting #Mifos are also have another volunteering call on 24th April at 2pm UTC. you can register for the call here:us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Question: I'm running Linux Mint right now. Is it possible to change distro to ... for example OpenSuse - without a clean install ?

Hi everyone! 😀

I wanted to suggest a potential idea for an open source project inspired by the (now defunct) AO3 Disco app.

@salexan @CollaboraOffice @fdroid #CollaboraOffice is already available on #fdroid. You should add its repo to the f-droid app in settings:

Hello everyone! This is Elena (@_elena@mastodon.social on Mastodon), the blogger behind The Future is Federated.

I'll bring you straight into my mind: I was scrolling throught the n-th depressing post of the day hour and I thought "If I answer that post/comment by #negativity, will other people be able to filter out this content using my answer?" If not, how could we build some sort of blocklist for people to curate there experience on the fediverse.

I get it. There's some real jerks around here. Whether they're constantly argumentative, downright rude, always acting in bad faith, just plain trolls, overly opinionated on every subject, have the social skills of a Nausicaan, or whatever - the Fediverse is growing, and it's bound to attract toxicity in one way or another.

Nel corso delle turbolenze di mercato di questa settimana, la Borsa italiana è stata profondamente influenzata dai conflitti commerciali globali: l’indice FTSE MIB ha registrato un calo dello 0,3%, chiudendo a 35.743 punti, continuando a ritracciare i guadagni della seduta precedente. Secondo l’analisi del Professor Leopoldo Farnese, l’attuale volatilità dei mercati è dovuta principalmente all’incertezza sulle politiche tariffarie degli Stati Uniti. Sebbene l’amministrazione Trump abbia annunciato una sospensione temporanea dei dazi su smartphone e computer, ha comunque precisato che tali esenzioni potrebbero essere solo provvisorie. Inoltre, l’introduzione di nuovi dazi su semiconduttori e importazioni farmaceutiche potrebbe ulteriormente aggravare l’incertezza sui mercati.

Ok so this is likely one of my wierder experiences with the fediverse and is a bit of a story that ends with something wierd with https://piefed.social/topic/chilling/comics?sort=new&layout=list - So to sorta start this off I rarely post but had taken to posting a comic I like called devils panties to comicstrips@lemmy.world. One day when I clicked on replies to the comic I was getting 404 pages and I could not find the comic anymore. There was no notification or anything that it was removed but I checked the sidebar rules and it did not seem to break any. So I posted again and the same thing came back. I suspected that things can be removed without notice or such or just maybe something was breaking so posted to comics@lemmy.ml and that went fine. I changed to posting to comics@lemmy.ml but then noticed that the comic was being posted by someone else to comicstrips@lemmy.world. It did not show up greyed so it presumably was not a bot. I figured I would bow out as I was going to stop posting once I got a job as when working I tend to not be able to really get to anything even small like this (im not a good waker upper and I tend to be toast after work). The next day though no post was done by the other user so late before I went to bead I did the lemmy.ml post and one hour later it appeared in lemmy.world. Its been pretty consistantly one hour after. Anyway the whole thing made me feel pretty wierd but then today its sorta on another level. When perusing https://piefed.social/topic/chilling/comics?sort=new&layout=list I see the duplicates the user does to lemmy.world but I don't see my original posts to lemmy.ml but I do see another comic posted to lemmy.ml and if I go directly to comics@lemmy.ml I see my post. Anyone have any idea whats going on???

Wondering if anyone knows good alternatives to Discord's screen sharing feature (good quality, good framerate, low latency, and sound support).

Is it possible to follow communities in an instance like https://libreddit.kavin.rocks/r/ProfessorMemeology with a lemmy client?

I'm not the developer but finally!!

sorry if it is unrelated to this community

Or apple wallet for that matter. I'm pretty new to the concept of a digital wallet, and I'm guessing that if I eschew these google and apple offerings then I'm not really doing much beyond basically a folder called 'passes' but nonetheless a dedicated app that only opens pdfs and images and 'passes' rather than anything else still seems helpful.
