I got a reply to a 9.5 year old comment two days ago...

This is why he'll win. Because Republicans live in an echo chamber where they think Biden is incompetent. If you look at the record he's the best president since FDR.

I have a silly need to buy tech for no reason

Me too, I have three of them now plus an old chromebook that I rooted and installed linux on when the price of a PI was skyhigh during the pandemic. The chromebook set me back $40. Installing PeppermintOS on it was pretty easy.

Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.

If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.

I’ve bought two on eBay in the last year. Got the last one for around $135 and it was a kit.

I remember back when you could only download one song at a time from there. But you’re right. There is an insane amount of good music there.

 

Just saw a post on reddit alternatives and there was a comment inviting users to laguna.chat. I went and checked it out and the trending communities list included, 'jews did 911', 'killnirs', 'hitler was right', and 'Fuck Nirs'. One of the user accounts was u/HangNi***rs.

Hey Laguna Chat, get your shit together.

Edit: markdown defeated me again. I think you can figure out what those words are.

Is etree.org not still up?

 

I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help.

Got me wondering. There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

Edit: I didn't expect this post to be as poignant as it became. There are so many of you... I can't reply to everyone. I'm an 11 year user and have modded something like 150 subs over the years. I'm really sad too, but I'm finding that lemmy has most of the content I'm looking for, just needs more comments.

The API was a big blow, but removing awards on past posts and deleting coin balances is really dumb.

Thank you for this post. I was hoping I could ask you a couple of questions because I also had to make some modifications to get Lemmy up and running. I don't have email yet because my isp blocks post 25 and I haven't gotten around to requesting an unblock yet.

I see you've modified your hjson file to use gmail. The default config syntax for email is:

email: {
    smtp_server: "postfix:25"
    smtp_from_address: "noreply@{{ domain }}"
    tls_type: "none"
  }```

My question is, can I just drop in your email syntax with my information and the instance will use gmail instead of the default?

shitjustworks seems like one of the few really good instances.

I can’t get into calling subs “magazines”. Communities is much better.

[–] BuckRowdy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would watch that.
