Yeah, copy the link to the community and paste it into the search box on your instance. Then subscribe to it when it shows up. I always do this from the web interface but maybe it works through the app also.

I noticed this too but went to lemmyverse.net and subbed to a bunch of new things, and unsubscribed from some memes communities that were posting way too much.

I have default sort of top 6 hours, works well for fresh content.

How is it better than just going to a torrent search site? It has a lot more content?

[–] mrmanager 1 points 1 year ago

Sure go ahead. :)

Transmission since you can select files inside a torrent and prioritize them, or choose to not download some files.

Yeah I refuse to use their app and I want nothing to do with them. So while they had some nice subreddits, I will learn to live without them.

He looks better than I do. All cats look better than most humans to me. :)

Humans are quite often not great looking but cats are all models in my eyes.

This is called a lie, folks.

I do want Threads to fail and I admit a find enjoyment in that, if they do. I think big tech is poison and has no respect for human beings whatsoever.

Yup its configured on each instance in the admin settings.

I think its the only way to not be completely dependent on some single entity.

So far we have seen all of them go bad with time. At least with federation, you and me can talk with no corporation in the middle, which brings me back to the lovely feeling of the 90's with BBS's and forums. Before the corps took over and put ads everywhere, and basically took the world hostage.

If something big happens, ordinary people need to be able to talk without censorship. And its going to be very hard to censor a distributed network like Lemmy.

People still are arguing for downvotes here on Lemmy. I think they are poison to a good community. They are not helping to moderate - they are silencing opinions and creating echo chambers.
