Lemmy.ca's Main Community

Hi! Thank you and hi everybody :) I just opened account here and seems really good and better than I though it was due bad feedback of some people. Maybe Reddit has signed their gradually death sentence with the APIpocalypse. Using currently Jerboa and tried Lemmur before. Both are good but the design and intuitive UI I rather Jerboa. But I don't receive notifications I think :(

Somebody know why? Some bugs writing comments also, maybe due the high traffic for the huge exodus from Reddit or Jerboa bug? I could connect with Kbin Social or Mastodon also since here? How? Thank you!

Hey again, been a while since I posted in this thread! Was hoping to clarify a bit on the Lemmy.ca rules if I could. I have two questions:

1. What is the stance on NSFL/gore content? Allowed, discouraged, banned?
2. We have the rule "No porn." This sounds simple, but what is classified as porn. Is all nudity porn? Is nudity alright in an artistic context such as the Statue of David? What about a medical/injury setting, or a non-pornographic setting such as "public freakout" videos?

I ask these questions as I moderate !roadcam which could have both of these sorts of content posted to it, if not often. I am unsure if I want to ban that content outright, but it would be handy to know the instance rules first.

Hello everyone, new to Lemmy!

I had randomly picked up Lemmy.world but found Lemmy.ca along the way.

Was hoping to sign up here but it seems to be having issues. Hopefully that gets resolved over the next few days and I can land over here with y'all.

If not, I guess it doesn't really matter. I can just sub around here too.

Fediverse is cool :)

It's nice to be here! I've been meaning to check this place out for a while, and suddenly there's much more activity, so now seems like a good time :)

Is there a Patreon page or something where we can send donations for lemmy.ca in particular? I'd love to be sure you have what you need to keep this all running.

So... still wrapping my head around the whole concept of of federated spaces. By way of comparison, if I go to Reddit, and I search for subreddits, it searches all of reddit, and pulls up the relevant information. If I do a search here, am I searching ONLY the Lemmy.ca server, or does that search ALL of the Lemmy fediverse? If not, how does one do that? CAN one do that? Sorry for the newbie questions. I want to make the move from Twitter/Reddit to Mastodon/Lemmy, but I want to get it so I can indoctrinate my over cautious, set-in-their-ways friends. :)

Is there a way to sort comments? Currently using Jerboa on android

Hello there. I've been dabbling a bit on sites to escape reddit and that retard spez. I am currently trying this, said it, scored and poal. I'm hoping I can find a new place to enjoy. My main concern is the hobby subs may not compare well to those I used on reddit.

Hello! I have a question. In the settings, there’s this thing called the Matrix User. What is it for/What does it do, and would it be useful to make a Matrix account?

Seems to work. 👏

Thank-you for the welcome. Looking forward to the non-centralized fun

Hello everyone,

Still trying to get used to the new setup over on Lemmy, however trying to make some new communities work. Want to get /c/ontario and /c/waterloo running with some active discussions and people. Hopefully we can make a difference. :)

Edit: I'd also love to know the hardware that you're running this on!

hi everyone! one more from the reddit exodus… currently living in southwestern ON. hoping to join some communities focused on gaming, hiking and beer drinking in the area! if you got any suggestions, let me know!

Is there a way to export a list of all the communities (or kbin magazines) that I'm subscribed to? I can see the list on the right side of the front page, but that's more in the URL style -- I'd still have to parse out the !community@host.tld format of the community/magazine.

While all this was lemmy/kbin situation was fleshing out, I made accounts on a few different servers, but I'd like to centralize eventually.

Why do other some communities I'm subbed to when viewing through lemmy.ca show no posts, no users, etc?

Like if I view pixelart@lemmy.ml through lemmy.ca, it shows no posts.

This is fantastic; thank you for hosting this instance. I was more of a Reddit lurker but intend to be more active on this federated platform to help the community build. Having lurked a bit before registering I have to say that I hope the community vibe stays the same as it seems less toxic so far than a lot of the Reddit communities.
