MODERATORS
What is Lemmy?
Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other "ActivityPub" software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on Lemmy.one, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!
What is Lemmy.one?
Lemmy.one is a general-purpose instance of Lemmy—a self-hostable, decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators—hosted by myself (Jonah). I am the administrator of the Mastodon server mstdn.party, and the founder of privacyguides.org.
This instance is generously supported by our contributors, if you use this instance to interact with the fediverse, please consider a monthly contribution to support my work.
What are the rules here?
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
- No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
- No content illegal in the United States, Germany, or Finland
- Do not share intentionally false or misleading information
- Do not spam or abuse network features.
As a general-purpose instance, we do not have heavy moderation in terms of what topics people are allowed to post about, however all users are expected to follow our rules at all times, and generally be nice and friendly on the federation.
Please report all content you see which might violate our rules for evaluation. If you are on a remote server, please forward any reports of our users to our server for our moderators to take action, we pledge that remote reports will remain confidential within our moderation team and will not be used for any form of retribution against the reporter.
Seconded! I would’ve made my own comment but didn’t want to crowd things up any more than they already are. Thanks @jonah! Very excited to be a part of this all.
What's up with downvoting? I can do it on other instances.
I think in this instance (lol) they've opted to disable downvotes since it's a smaller community. Instead, the sidebar encourages you to upvote other posts to encourage discussion :)
Lame
Not lame. Just not what you want. The joy is, there are instances that allow downvoting, which you are free to join, if that's the way you want to interact.
My first comment! Really hoping Lemmy can be the replacement for Reddit :) trying this from the Memmy App!
I noticed that we can't create communities in lemmy.one, so is there another way for us to create communities or do we need to register with another instance?
Easily the most sexy instance imo
any chance of getting a specific cycling community, like r/cycling?
There's [email protected] already, or are you looking for something else?
hah, I would swear there was nothing just a couple of minutes ago when I searched for "cycling". Thanks!
There probably wasn't, because nobody on lemmy.one had "discovered" it yet. It is slightly complicated, but you can find remote communities more reliably with a tool like https://browse.feddit.de/, and then paste the URL of the community you find in the search page. That will tell lemmy.one to fetch the community from that server, the communities you see on lemmy.one are ones where that process has already happened.
details: https://lemmy.one/post/1600
So if someone on here discovered a “new” community that no one else on here discovered yet, then after that other people here would be more easily able to find it afterwards?
Yup. The admin can also set up federation with other servers on a whole-server basis so that all communities are discovered automatically.

Reddit refugee here, great site. Fairly local for me so it's fast, fast. Thanks for the hooking me up!
Hey so I've been on Lemmy for a few weeks now and I'm getting tired of seeing the pinned posts. How do I prune them from my feed? I've seen them. I don't need to keep seeing them several times a day.
The only way I can think of at the moment is to block @jonah and, while I'm reluctant to do that, so far nobody has given me another option.
Hi all :)
I started on Lemmy but then kbin UI caught my attention so I migrated over there. Now I'm. Back to see what Lemmy is like now
Is there a way to link my kbin acocunt/subs to Lemmy? What's the easiest way to do this or the closest thing to it? I have more comments over there and would like to be able to continue discussions there, or see replies, etc? But now from Lemmy
Edit: I ended up pulling up my kbin subscriptions on 1 tab, and Lemmy search on the other, and just searched manually

Wonderful little community
Thanks Johah! Was looking for a new home on the link aggregator front, and this is just the ticket. Looking forward to seeing the site and community grow 😀
Liking it here so far, but it would be a really good thing to enable downvotes. I hope you reconsider it!
So glad to be part of this. Thanks for setting things up.
Very, very slowly getting the hang of this. I got the Mlem iPhone app on testflight, but it's not as nice to use for discovering new communities as on the desktop. Thanks for hosting this beginner-friendly instance!
Try browse.feddit.de
