I actually read it as “priSons” and I read all the answer wondering how it would get to prisons lol

this is fucked up lol

I loved this game when I was 5-6 years old. I actually forgot about it now that I’m in my 20s but when GOG made that giveaway I immediately downloaded it. It’s still fun

FOSS doesn’t mean that you can’t be paid for it…

Most of the socials that exist on the fediverse are still in beta or even alpha, it seems quite a bit too much to ask for complete federation out of the box. Mastodon gained traction last year, just think of how Facebook or Instagram were in their last first years of development

The Fediverse needs improvements, of course. But it also needs time and resources, and only with patience and coordination (and interest and money) we will get to a perfect working point :)

Rip I wish I saw this earlier

Yes it should, I don’t know if there’s a faster way though, sorry

There already is a question similar to this. You can find lots of ideas there :)

I’m not sure if there’s a better way but:

1. go here: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
2. bottom page > open an instance you want to federate with
3. Choose a random community of that instance
4. Copy and paste the link of that community in your instance search bar and subscribe
5. Wait a few minutes and you should be federated with that instance

If you open browse.feddit.de you’ll see that it’s not difficult to find the biggest/most popular one

I like FediDB.org

We can only see what you posted and commented. The saved button is going to be removed in the next update

Some tips:

• If you have a question about how Lemmy works, first search in the documentation, in [email protected] or [email protected] and with a search engine
• if you didn’t find an answer, ask in [email protected]

Also, some useful places to find new instances:

• FediDB
• The Federation Info
• Awesome Lemmy Instances

Finally, try not to lurk and have fun :) (edit: lemmy_support is better than lemmy for support)

There is no problem if there are more communities with the same topic. The ones wich are better moderated and actively updated will eventually gain in popularity and stand out

I think you forgot to follow feddit.it

Instances could maybe put up a Patreon with features such as voting to decide things related to the instance for example. There’s plenty of ways to make money without VC.

Another idea could be making a bot that only works for people who donated, I don’t know…

Maybe get funding from the European Commission or https://nlnet.nl/ or https://www.ngi.eu/ or something like that

Take a look at https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

Motorhead Lemmy

That’s exactly the point: if they become “bad”, we can always move to another one with the same name but on another instance

It’s a very good thing to avoid what happened on Reddit that a big istance is moderated by people that don’t think democratically and rule against other people’s will deleting posts and banning everyone they don’t like.

With federation, you can choose the instances and communities you like the most, the ones with better moderation and so the kindest one will probably prevail :)
