Is the TV show or community transphobic or something?

We created TransSpecies for all of you that don't see yoursel{f/ves} as human and would like to or are doing your best to transition to something that isn't that whether that's internally, socially, with technology or surgery (though it should be noted we don't gatekeep, exploring your identity is a-okay with us and there's no one way to be TransSpecies).

We will not be answering any questions or putting up with any remarks about us not existing or being mentally ill etc, such comments will just be reported and you will be banned from that community.

For all the rest of you, hope to see you there!

(Sorry if this doesn’t belong here, it’s kind of related to the instance.)

For example, I tried subscribing to the Brazil instance, only to find that there was no posts.

When I went to lemmy.pt, there were many posts??

When I made a post saying “hi”, it appears that no one even saw it.

Does that happen to be a blocked instance or something, because I don’t see it on there, but I may have not looked at all the instances.

i thought it was a catchy name for a pansexual group, which I don’t see much of on lemmy, if at all.

Hopefully it gets active :3

If there's any trans poc here, come hang out! It's [email protected] / lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/transpoc

It was suggested that I post this idea to the community proper. So I'm just copying and pasting the comment that I made, edited to make it clear which post I'm referencing (which is the next most recent post here anyway). I hope I got the link right in order to work with all of this federation mumbo jumbo.

I’m too new to be making these kinds of suggestions and I’m far from the moderator type myself but multiple times throughout this week, I’ve been thinking that it would be pretty cool if there was an AskBlåhaj. Or even just general Ask Lemmy based here, that could be asking for unwanted attention from shitty people on other instances though.

Not even 24 hours after seeing this post, I’ve seen someone else getting the snark and a non answer for a simple question. And also a Blåhaj user.

As much of a public bathroom as it could be, AskReddit was pretty fun for ‘silly’ questions and general chatting. And a nice place for new users to hang around and gain karma and confidence. But with the gatekeeper neckbeardy types around, maybe what it needs on Lemmy is to be in an instance with rules that promote friendliness and good vibes.

Just an idea to throw out there anyway.

TL;DR - Lemmy's userbase compare to Reddit just feel more angry and it so offputting when asking a question and getting an answer that sound like their pissed off. Feels oddly worse than Reddit.

Honestly, I want to like Lemmy as I want to try not use Reddit as much. The thing that is holding me back is I hate the users on Lemmy which their often passive aggressive and really snarky. I know Reddit does have those people but I always seen more them on Lemmy where I barely used it as much.

I asked on AskLemmy community if there's any Gen-Z community around, ideally just talking about nostalgia and stuff like that. Nothing malicious at all. Then got a angry reply saying "Fuck Gen-what, just join community and post!" and telling me about generation are there to "divide" people. Apparently, me asking community which mainly be me talking about cartoon and games I grow up with is evil.

If the tone was at least "This may not matter as much and you find it better picking any community that in your best interest" then I'm be alright, it the way they seem pissed at me for even asking it like I'm an idiot which gets to me. When I told that person to calm down and stop being snarky, I got reply from other users saying they wasn't.

Might stick to Reddit for now. I know it not great but it in my experince isn't as easily pissed off and is actually bareable to scroll for awhile. I hate talking bad about Lemmy as I really want to like it but I just hate the userbase so much that it feels pointless to even properly use it as much.

Mainly about blusky.

I've noticed some people I follow on Facebook/twitter/youtube/tiktok migrating to bsky.social and my understanding was that misskey/sharkey is supposed to be able to federated with bsky and Mastodon, but several bsky accounts I've not been able to find from blåhaj sharkey. I'm wondering if it's been defederated or maybe they don't federate as well as I thought? Any assistance or advice is much appreciated!

so that i can finally get rid of meta :3

I've been waiting until after Christmas day to make this post, but some of our communities recently have had a lot of noise and upset over someone that uses neopronouns that most people are unfamiliar with.

So I want to make this clear. A persons pronouns are to be respected. This is true when the user is using neopronouns that you're unfamiliar with. It's true even if you think someone is trolling. Pronouns are not rewards for good behaviour. They aren't only to be respected when you like the person you're interacting with, or if their pronouns "make sense" to you. Trolls, spammers, twitter users, it doesn't matter who they are, your options are to respect their pronouns, or to not engage with them.

I really want to re-iterate the importance of this. Gender diverse folk are undermined, invalidated and questioned at every step of our lives. As a community, we need to be working to undo that, not creating more of it, and that means there is no space for treating pronouns (including neopronouns) as a reward for good behaviour.

This isn't a free reign for trolls and spammers. The rules still apply. Trolling, spamming, etc will continue to be dealt with, but it's not an excuse to act as if respecting someones pronouns is optional.

Every webp I've tried causes this error, but then works if I convert to png.

Reproduction steps:

1. Download random webp from front page
2. Create post
3. Upload webp image

Hi all! We've created a community here on blåhaj lemmy for anyone that needs help or advice with HRT.

Everyone is welcome so long as you stay mostly on topic! Bring your hormones, your friends, and your blåhajs!

The community is friendly to DIY and is NSFW by default.

Whenever I try I just get an error and am unable to delete the picture.

Lemmy's 0.19.6 introduces some bug fixes but it also introduced a nasty bug which breaks image rendering in many posts See here and since this instance hosts a lot of image based content it would probably be a good idea for us to hold off on upgrading until this is fixed. I do not know yet if this bug will apply retroactively, as in, if all posts made or affected by this will be fixed once a fix rolls out or if they'll be screwed up forever or until editing or re-posting.

I encourage people in instances which have not updated yet to cross-post this to their instance's meta community or ping their instance admins to let them know.

Hii <3 ~

I have not worked with the whole ActivityPub thing yet, so I'd really like to know how the whole thing kinda works.

As far as i can tell, it allows you to use different parts of the fediverse by using just one account.

Does it also allow to create posts on other platforms, or just comments?

I have tried to log in with my [email protected] account, and it redirected me correctly to the blahaj lemmy site.

Then I entered my lemmy credentials and logged in. I got logged in to my lemmy correctly, but I also got an error just saying "Could not be accessed" in German.

And now I am still not logged in in PeerTube.

Sooo does blahaj zone support the ActivityPub, or is this incorrectly "kinda working" but not really?

Sorry for asking if this was explained somewhere else I searched as best I could and didn’t find anything.

update, got it to work by sending a different link and then editing the post: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/18184598

Doesn't seem to federate. I've posted, waited, deleted and reposted multiple times. I've checked lemmy.world and beehaw and it never showed up. The original got one upvote so someone on Blahaj could see it. I'm curious if anyone has run into this problem before and how it was fixed.

Other comments and posts I've been doing have been federating, but specifically not this one. They usually take less than a minute maybe a couple more to federate. Since it wouldn't show on two different instances, after waiting, I would assume it has something to do with our instance, but it could just be a me problem.

I would appreciate it if someone else could try. Thank you.
