LemmyToday

Sometimes I think people forget how much Lemmy users have incommon, and we just focus on the differences.

Lets look at some introduction letters from users lately who joined this instance:

I'm a technoligist based out of the United States. I want to explore the fediverse protocols, so I'm trying Lemmy and ActivityPub. Also, I jumped off Reddit when they began restricting API access heavily and have been looking for a link-aggregator alternative ever since.

I am an astronomer, nature lover in heart. I am tired of using apps and websites from companies spying on us and owning basically everything. I will be happy to switch from reddit to lemmy. I am curious though how do you know that a bot cannot write such a text.

Great interest in knowledge and competency building through balanced use of technology. I am currently in the process of moving away from the tech giants and their madness.

Reddit sucks now, want a decentralized, not profit driven alternative

I am a concerned citizen of a country run by Nazis and I am trying to escape most social media sites that harvest our data, I have been pointed in this direction by a privacy enthusiast who said this is the land of the free, Or something like that.

I am a longtime (15 years) reddit user, and I am looking for alternatives that are not driven by corporate interests.

We all really want the same thing. I also want the same thing, which is why I run this instance.

You are all part of a growing community of people who dont want the typical social media experience from ad-funded big tech companies who only care about profits. I think thats really cool.

Thanks for being part of Lemmy guys. :)

Just figured I’d share this here for informational purposes.

Last time this this is going to be said X is dog sh**

Hello new to this and decided to give this one a try since I've been hearing about this. I'm also over on https://hexbear.net/u/widespreadmemes as well.

I'm back after my other account was hacked but decided I'd better grab this name before someone else tries to.

I've come across a Redditor experiencing difficulty creating an account on lemmy.today: https://old.reddit.com/r/Lemmy/comments/1jgpd2o/problem_editing_account_on_lemmy_but_on/

Is there some way you could reach out to them, or they could reach out to you?

I couldn't find an email address or other contact info listed in the sidebar or footer of the lemmy.today instance.

Hello I just created an account on this instance and just wanted to say hello and thank you all for having me here, I am going to also try and bring along a community I created a while back first on reddit, then on lemmy. Sadly the instance I was most using and created my community on is expected to shut down soon but I am glad I found this place.

thats about it just wanted to say hi and thank you

I originally chose this instance because it seemed to be aimed at people who don't really want to join a specific community. All I can say is I barely ever think about this instance and I mean that as a huge compliment. You guys run a tight ship with almost no hiccups or issues so far. Thanks for keeping the lights on.

On lemmy.today, I don't appear to be seeing posts created in the past two days as of this writing on either !NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works or !Games@sh.itjust.works. I am subscribed to both communities. I have not done an search to determine whether other subscribed sh.itjust.works communities are affected, though I assume that to be the case.

They are visible from lemmy.world, so the posts are propagating to at least some other federated instances.

sh.itjust.works presently appears to be running Lemmy 0.19.5 (versus lemmy.today's 0.19.4 and lemmy.world's 0.19.3). However, I do not think that this is a version-related problem, at least not alone, as !Ukraine@sopuli.xyz is showing up fine on lemmy.today.

https://lemmy.today/instances lists sh.itjust.works as a federated instance as of this writing.

https://sh.itjust.works/instances lists lemmy.today as a federated instance as of this writing.

Lemmy.today has also been responding very slowly to me over the past hour or so, and was frequently showing connection timeouts and gateway error pages when trying to load pages. Other instances appear to be working normally. That may be entirely unrelated, but I thought that I'd mention it, as it's unusual and at least might be related.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone new joining the instance lately. Seems like reddits ideas of introducing paywalled subreddits got a few more people to think twice about using that site.

I just wanted to encourage new users to install a good mobile client for Lemmy. The web interface is OK but the mobile apps really take Lemmy to another level by being much faster and more user friendly.

I personally like Boost for Lemmy and Sync but there are many others to choose from. More are linked in the sidebar.

After you do that, make sure to subscribe to many communities. You see a list under the Communities tab and you can choose to subscribe with a click.

You can also go here and see all communities in the entire lemmy universe:

Me and @Buelldozer@lemmy.today are trying to keep the bots and spammers out and it goes pretty well so far.

Hope you like Lemmy more than Reddit, most of us here do.. :)

I don't actually use it, so it's no problem from my standpoint, but in case the admin team was unaware:

As of:

https://lemmy.today/post/307248

Photon was apparently working at:

https://photon.lemmy.today/

...but it presently just shows a blank page for me.

Should one consider this entire community (!tezka_abhyayarshini@lemmy.today) considered as spam ?

Afaik it doesn't have anything illegal, but whenever I go to local feed it's full of this guy and community.

Idk just saying.

As of this afternoon, I am having trouble uploading images to Lemmy.today.

Regardless of client software used, I always receive the following error: "No such file or directory (os error 2)"

Is it just me or is anyone else having the same problem?
