To find new communities - go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, click the top right "Home" icon and type your home instance (ex: lemmy.world)... now you can open/subscribe to every community you like.
-
Get a good mobile app - they are listed here (with a ton of other great new-user tips): https://lemmy.ml/post/1470777
-
Change your default "Sort Type" to "Subscribed + New" (in settings) - now you have a fresh feed of your exact interests, every time you open Lemmy.
-
Communicate in a genuine, open-minded way - to me, Lemmy is a good place to really connect with people, and have honest discussions (versus the often more 'performative' tone of greeddit).

Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!
That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.
Yeah, I understand what you mean (after a year of exploring the Web Socket).
That lemmy auth value is pulled from a JWT cookie in the browser - which you can access in JS by document.cookie. It allows user-specific API calls (retrieving saved posts, subscribed communities, etc).
Is there a specific API call you'd like to make?
Maybe someone can reveal that method and endpoint.
I agree, there is a time for purposeful sarcasm.
To me, it requires two conditions:
-
A person has already expressed their real perspective to a specific ‘opponent’, and
-
That specific opponent cannot see the hole in their own logic.
This Norm MacDonald radio clip is a good example.
He explains his true perspective, and only switches to sarcasm for one sentence (at 5:25), to show the opponent how she is being goofy [and it works].
His foundation of sincerity gives context to the sarcasm.
Conversely - nowadays - a common ‘communication style’ is to just spray aimless sarcasm at distant or imaginary foes,
which (to me) reflects a deeper cultural issue...
a hiding behind mockery, a suppression of real constructive bravery,
just dunking on one-dimensional charicatures of strangers (who might not actually exist).
[So I agree with you - there are times for purposeful sarcasm.]
Yes, I see the same glitch - in both local and remote unsubscribed communities:
- local: https://lemmy.ml/c/books
- remote: https://lemmy.ml/c/books@lemmy.world
Both "Subscribe" and "Block Community" are showing as plain text, yet they are probably meant to be a tags, like the "Create a Post" button:
<a class="btn btn-secondary d-block mb-2 w-100 " href="/create_post?communityId=92531">Create a post</a>
Good catch - you could create an issue on the lemmy-UI issues
Could you imagine… if someone spent a year on the JWST… then returned to earth…
how mellow that person would be.
If you agree that most bots are spam, then why are you making and promoting bots?
Okay - What value does a haiku bot add?
It only tells you that a post was 17 syllables...
- and then duplicates a comment (spam),
- and then stretches the duplicated comment vertically (spam).
Just pick one of the suggestions and start doing it.
There are a lot of great ideas in your other post.
The JS-client docs are automatically created by TypeDoc (which takes TypeScript code and generates HTML documentation).
Good question Charlie Fish :)
Yeah lemmy is a chill place.
It is wild to watch the rapid expansion.
Here’s a human haiku:
bots are part of what
made reddit such a wasteland.
most bots are just spam.
i wish lemmy would
remain a place for humans.
why can’t we just talk?
This is a very short story about sarcasm:
Ted opposes racist rants.
Yesterday - Ted posted a few exaggerated racist rants (sometimes with the /s).
2,177 people saw Ted’s racist rants.
50% of them guessed he was joking.
98% of them would not have seen a racist rant yesterday, if it weren’t for Ted's little gag.
So the question is:
Despite the sarcasm... isn’t Ted just spreading more of what he honestly deplores?
Is Ted subverting his own integrity?
Why not say how we actually feel?
