Bluesky also allows you opt-out from post quotes
Interesting, thanks!
/r/technology might just have stricter external URLs policies, mentioning to /r/RedditAlternatives was the way to go
Indeed, thank you @Die4Ever@programming.dev for that
You're welcome, that's probably going to be much more pleasant for you ha ha
Nowadays, !communitypromo@lemmy.ca has daily threads promoting active communities
Also what client where you using for that screenshot? Clients usually show instances after the communities name
I usually go with
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
- https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
- https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
- https://vger.app/ if you want an app
Feel free if you have any questions"
That way people are pointed to two reliable instances.
I tried to join a community that was meant to migrate away from reddit, but found two duplicates. So I wasn’t sure which one was the correct one. Ultimately the migration failed, even though it was a software oriented community
Which community was it?
First there’s the obvious topic of defederation, which makes the “join one server, access all of them” an outright lie.
- https://lemmy.sdf.org/instances blocks one outdated Kbin instance
- https://lemmy.today/instances blocklist is empty
Still those two instances aren't that popular
A solution to this is, actually, more federation. Many lemmy instances could band together by building a front page interface that combined all of the best posts across servers
Isn't that All?
You can choose the light theme in your settings
"Lemmy has 47k monthly active users
- https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
- https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
- https://vger.app/ if you want an app
Feel free if you have any questions"

Happy cake day!
I know, but still no apps at the moment 😄
Never had any contact with them, good or bad.
They usually leave my posts promoting Lemmy
@MarcellusDrum@lemmy.ml I guess ?
And they removed rimu’s post advertising piefed, so i wouldn’t say i’ll trust them immediately.
They did ? Crap
User on /r/privacy wanting to leave Reddit, looking for alternatives. Most of the comments suggest patching a Reddit client, or Mastodon. A few comments mention Lemmy, but don't link to instances
/r/esist considers Reddit as compromised, lists Lemmy as potential alternative, only comment suggests Bluesky
/r/Gaymers thread about a backup community only mentions Discord "Most everything seems to be going there. Corrections? Are there others?"
/r/Transgender_surgeries mod still not convinced: "(Lemmy) is only valuable if people use it, and that's not up to me". If you still have a Reddit account, feel free to chime in
Following our feedback, Rimu just added a "New communities" box to the right of the Piefed screen
There are quite a few posts on Reddit about Lemmy, but what about Discord? Have people here tried to talk about Lemmy there? What was your experience?
Is communities discovery really that bad, do we just miss enough people, or should people revisit their expectations and go for more general communities?
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca, for another place to discover new communities
