Cisgender means the person has a gender identity that matches the sex they were assigned at birth.
If you are a man and you were assigned male at birth, you are cis.
If you are a man and you were assigned female at birth, you are trans.
Non-binary can mean anything from not having a strong specifically male or female identity to closer to switching identities (bi-gender falls closer into this) to just having a lot of serious fluidity, but typically speaking at least part of the time the identity doesn’t match the assigned sex at birth.
The admin of this instance also is the admin of mastodon.world and the code of conduct (applies to all of ruud’s stuff) can be found here:
Any person who is a user of this instance or participates in any community hosted on this instance is bound by those rules.
If you don’t like the rules, you are absolutely welcome to find an instance that you would prefer but remember, if you still choose to visit any community here, you gotta pay attention to the rules. If you don’t like that moderators can and will moderate, you might want to find some other place to hang out.
“All” picks up any communities your instance knows about, whether you personally are subscribed or not. My understanding is that once one person from your instance subscribes to something it starts federating, but unless someone does that it stays separate.
While I agree being able to search for communities needs a little help if it’s a brand new community outside of your home instance to make it less confusing, it makes sense from the standpoint of having to tell the community to talk to an external instance by having someone from the external instance subscribe.
Have them go to search, make sure everything is searching all, and have them put https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming as the search query.
There’s a solid chance they won’t be able to see anything posted prior to when they subscribe, but at least that will make the community federate with that person’s Lemmy instance.
Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.
They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.
I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.
We did it, Reddit!
Oh wait.
[email protected] is one I saw pop up recently.
[email protected] also.
Looking forward to the update to roll through! All of the info here sounds excellent :)
I still have premium through the end of August, while they’re not getting ad revenue from me I have a little time to go gather and archive things I might want (I saved one resource right before the sub it was from went permanently dark but I haven’t had a chance to make sure I have everything else I wanted) and then I probably won’t be back.
And, for interest, I bought premium because I was using a 3PA and knew they weren’t making money off of me so I thought it was fair back when I was interested in supporting the site.
If they start inserting ads in videos I’m watching even though I literally pay them not to, I’ll be more than just mildly infuriated.
I live out in a (relatively speaking) smaller city in Texas. We don’t have public transportation here.
Also, I like to be able to do things on my own schedule. A long time ago I lived in a city with a bus presence and had to take the bus when my car broke down and it took several hours longer round trip than I would have been able to do what I needed to do in my car.
That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.
I don’t think anyone has a problem with a business trying to make money. The problem is the extortionate pricing and also not having things in place for mods or the communities with accessibility needs. And the timeframe in which the change is being implemented is ludicrous. And that isn’t even touching on the literal libel stating that Christian was blackmailing them.
I think I’m scarred for life from the Swamps of Dagobah. And I can’t look at coconuts anymore.
https://lemmy.world/c/therewasanattempt would probably appreciate this and it’s so new there’s nothing there yet.
There are some funky federation issues right now, the servers are straining a little bit under the load spike. I can see your post.
