  • When I first got on Lemmy I signed up for a small instance my friend was on. Mostly ended up lurking. Before ditching that account, because I forgot the password, and was looking to go to a different instance anyway, I looked up what instances had the most federations. world had a lot, and no hexbear. It also has a old style interface, and blocks NSFW content, so I can more safely browse in public/at work. So I switched to it with my main and then separately logged into places with open NSFW content.


  • Not my favorate to watch, but the one I prefer to recomend.

    Vernon, Florida

    I happened to live near there for a couple years. When I went online, to see if I could show some proof of the things I witnessed there, to friends not from there, this documentary came up. Though it takes place like 15ish years before I was there, it still was a good overview of my experience there. Basically the documentarian went there to make a film about the very high rate of lost limbs there, and ended up just showcasing the strange white-trashness of the place.

    This documentary is way under appreciated. I highly suggest it.



  • is this something that is being passed around with variations over time? If no, it isn’t a meme, it is just a screenshot of a joke. However, if this was based on something and is a variation of it, or something that has seen the spread and change aspect, then it would be.

    Is this some new cultural element, or system of behavior, that is being passed along? If yes, then it is. If no, then it is just a screenshot of a joke.

    This is just a screenshot of a joke.







  • A way I have found to explain federated social media to people, that seems to work is this: Imagine reddit, but instead of one company, with one administration, owning the whole site, it is a bunch of different reddits, that are independently run, that choose which other reddits they wish to associate themselves with. When you log into one instance, you automatically can see, and interact with, all the other ones that one chooses to associate with. You can have accounts on as many instances as you would like, even having accounts on instances that do no associate with each other.
