Well… I did, it was fun to see the IT support team of my work shaking every time they access my machine to some maintenance:

Yes. I like to read.

There’s a problem with that on smaller instances.

You can only see hashtags from people your instance already knows (someone follows them). On bigger, well-connected, instances this is not as problematic.

But, no matter the size of the instance, it just shows how even the “hashtag experience” depends on the “following experience”.

I believe it’s how the data is structured.

Lemmy is focused on themes and topics, with the “user” not being the focus (you can’t even follow a user on Lemmy).

That’s reversed on Mastodon, with focus on the users you follow, and the topics (hashtags, groups, etc) being optional.

For some people, Lemmy is better, for others, Mastodon or other microblog platform. The fact that both can exist in the same network is magical to me.

You can post directly to a Lemmy community from Mastodon. But there’s no way to do some kind of “cross-post” directly from a Mastodon post.

Yeah, I don’t like mastodon art moderation either, and I wouldn’t recommend signing up there. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are a lot of artists there willing to spread their work.

I was a mod when they picked a fight with a “sister” instance from mine. I saw the MO of the adm. But also found that most of the users there were not even aware of what was happening.

Anyway, OP. Follow whoever you want, just be aware that if you cannot follow someone from mastodon art is because they chose to block your server. Is not personal.

If you like games, try looking at the users of GameDev Place

If you like visual art, Mastodon.Art can be a good place to start.

If you are from Europe, there are a few official accounts at https://social.network.europa.eu/directory

If you like memes, I strongly recommend @[email protected] and @[email protected]

If you need to get news, Flipboard is in the process of federating its content, you can see a few users that are already able to be followed in this post: https://flipboard.social/@Flipboard/111926711889817950

Hope this helps.

I’m Brazilian and here in Brazil there’s no well defined culture on what to do with family names. Legally, you can come out with a complete new family name at the moment of marriage, with the only rule that both people should have it.

In my case, my parents already had some long names. Dad 1 2 3 and Mom 4 5. Both me, my sister and my mom end up with 4 5 2 3, I believe because pressure from my grandparents.

By the way, having four family names, like I do, is not very common in Brazil. It is more common to have two, both the last names from the parents, e.g. Dad 1 2 and Mom 3 4 would result in Baby 4 2, with one of the parents optionally taking those names too (traditionally the woman).

Wait, do you guys have friends?

Oh. For sure 😃

I remember sitting with my wife, waiting to get the train back home, holding the bag in my hands. That’s when it hit me. I started to cry, loudly.

Do not worry too much. At least in Brazil, almost no one uses mesóclise on casual conversation, and it can come across as pedantic.

Wait until you learn about “mesóclise”

As @[email protected] said, there’s an API endpoint for that, so third party clients can show it, even if the web interface do not.

I happen to use Boost for Lemmy on my Android and I can see all my upvotes and downvotes on my profile page.

One way to ensure your comment to federate the way you are expecting is to mention the original group (community) of the thread. This way, Lemmy will receive the comment on the group’s inbox and propagate to all federated servers.

Another behavior I found is that replies to non federated comments (as the one you showed in the op) will be announced to all federated servers. More details I found here: https://seb.jambor.dev/posts/understanding-activitypub-part-2-lemmy/

+1 to ZorinOS recommendation.

It’s beautiful, and has a lot of “oh, you came from Windows” user interactions. Like how it recommends similar programs from the store if you run a Windows installer, or installs and configures wine if you still want to run the .exe.

I use it myself even as an “older” Linux user.

I’m like that right now waiting for the Winter heat to leave
