Have you ever been to Tiananmen Square? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I went there in 2009. I was too young to appreciate the culture. Locals were busy selling tourists goods and I wasn’t even sure what to soak in at the square.

TIL that ladybugs are also called ladybirds (lemmy.world)
 

I am Australian and have always known it exclusively as the American term “ladybug”. Never heard of ladybird before.

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I feel as though the user base is a large part of the problem. I might be wrong but the accessibility of social media that have apps is a lot easier for the younger population who these days are flooding social media. I don't think a lot of people use forums or currently Testflight apps such as Memmy (for Lemmy). The iPhone is the phone for influencers and if Lemmy officially releases an iPhone app the same problems may happen.

When your husband tells you no more Reddit and try’s explaining Lemmy in c/memes@lemmy.ml

I mean he explained enough if you have a Lemmy account.

This happened quickly…Lemmy is now the second biggest platform next to mastodon!?! in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

I’m surprised Lemmy is currently above kbin to be honest. Only time will tell.

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit? (lemmy.world)
 

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming? (lemmy.world)
 

I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

How to subscribe to a community in another instance? (lemmy.world)

When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "!nostupidquestions@lemmy.ml"

Maybe I just need to wait.

Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow

If I was to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance (lemmy.world)
 

Does anybody knows how long it takes to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance with an account? It would give me the green wheel and I don't know if I have to wait "x" amount of time or it's just not possible at this time.
