Liftoff

Advertisements aren't coming to Lemmy. It's never going to happen. Why is everyone talking about it like it's inevitable. If you think that's going to happen, you haven't been in communities like this enough.

I don't have any issues with Lemmings. But I prefer lemmers and lemmians.

Unfortunately you have block each community individually at this moment.

It is in alpha stage atm, so it has a lot of bugs. Use other apps like Lift off and Thunder. Lift off has been working great so far.

I became more active here because I don't feel like I'm contributing to a corporation. This is an open source software run by people who are just doing it because they like doing it.

That's not going to happen on Lemmy. It is technically possible but it's very highly unlikely.

Lemmians

Lemmians

Lemmy is an open source software that anyone can run on their own computers. People can't run their own reddit because its source code is closed. When a person runs lemmy on their server (computer), it has its own domain name (like google.com). Each domain name is a different instance, like lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. These different instances can talk to each other and exchange posts and comments. This is called federation. This means you can create an account on lemmy.world and post comments and posts on sh.itjust.works. There are over 1000 instances. They can all talk to each other unless they choose not to. When an instance decides to block another instance, it is called defederation. Each instance is its own seperate thing and instances talk to each other in the background. Your account data is only stored on the instance you signed up on.

Welcome!

Yes

nay

I ask the question, "Why do we exist?"

Yes, it is possible

Personally I feel that turning some communities into liberal-only safe spaces while isolating others into conservative echo chambers only radicalizes both groups and makes constructive discourse increasingly less likely.

I completely agree. This is why I vote not to defederate. I believe that demonization of the opposite group is propaganda. There are good and bad people in both groups. People have different views and it's a spectrum.
