What is the objective behind selling the chocolate bars? I will have to delve deeper into the topic.

Enforcing polygraph testing will invariably make people less trusting of you. There needs to specific reasons that target specific people.

I’m using Memmy right now. All the Apollo users should fully migrate when it’s down.

So the Wagner Group is 300km from Moscow and Putin is on his way to St. Petersburg.

Need help learning how to read books again by AskThinkingTim in c/books@lemmy.ml

[-] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago

You most likely don’t have as much free time on your hands. That is a major reason for this. You can start with smaller books of interest to get the feeling of completion.

My understandings on the Fediverse is unclear right now. Will you be able to search for posts just as in stack overflow and reddit right now?

I'm not sure if there is a place to promote your own communities in lemmy.world. I decided to create a thread where you can post and promote your own community.

Mine is focused on watches: https://lemmy.world/c/watches

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit? (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 years ago by AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

410 comments fedilink

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂 by AskThinkingTim in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

[-] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago

I'm not saying Lemmy is going backwards, but I prefer this forum vibe I am experiencing here with people expressing their opinions and helping each other.

Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming? (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 years ago by AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

Which Lemmy instance will be the biggest in 6 months? by AskThinkingTim in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago

The main reason it is growing is because you cannot sign up to Lemmy.ml if you tried right now.

How to subscribe to a community in another instance? (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "!nostupidquestions@lemmy.ml"

Maybe I just need to wait.

Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow

Thanks for the feedback. Seems impossible to sign for the instance.

Does anyone know how long it takes to create sign up to the lemmy.ml instance? It seems impossible right now.
