Welcome ๐Ÿ


Lemmy.ca is run by Canadians, hosted in Canada, and geared toward Canadians. However, it is not restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!

To learn more about what Lemmy is, or how the Fediverse works, you can visit our simple Getting Started Guide.

This site is run by the non-profit Fedecan and funded entirely by user donations. You can help support us by visiting our donations page.


Rules and Guidelines

1. No BigotryIncluding racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be CivilArgue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

Yeah, I know what you're saying, especially when I browse "All."

That's why I generally just subscribe to comms that I like (about non-politics non-tech things) and browse "Subscribed". Then when I'm ready after that, then I browse All. Or maybe I just skip All.

Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they're not the focus.

Yeah it shouldn't make a difference for everyday use, after a while it'll just become intuitive. Like, look at the following communities, they're on many different instances but you should have access to them all:

URGENT on [email protected] the frequent poster @[email protected] has to take some time out for personal reasons and is asking other people to take over... I don't have any content to post there so I can't help out. But anyone with an interest in that topic who has some excerpts/reviews/info they want to post, I invite them to do so.

In other news.... [email protected] is showing a bit of life... a couple different people have been posting each week, starting about a month ago. Not sure what that's about.

On [email protected] I started doing a weekly post about the Mastodon weekly view parties. Then when I go to the view parties (which are a lot of fun!) I post a link to the lemmy post. That way I advertise each to each:

Finally, I've had some success advertising niche communities by posting spoiler-tagged lists of communities to new people when they ask for direction. Here's what I'm talking about, I welcome you to do something similar:

I think this would fit better in another community:

[email protected]

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

I havent really kept tabs on how the โ€œeverythingโ€ feed works. Does it show posts from small communities here and there?

If you want to see posts from small communities (balanced with the larger ones) then select "Scaled" instead of "Hot" or "Active".

If you're sick of politics and tech then subscribe to communities you like and sort by "Subscribed" instead of "Local" or "All". Look here for relevant communities:

Solution: don't look at news communities. Only subscribe to communities without news, politics, or tech...

I have a draft designed for all types of fediverse software, but i narrowed it down to just threadiverse stuff

This is a guide meant to be linked for beginners, to explain the fediverse in as short time as possible.

Concepts

What's "federation"?

In easy terms; it's a concept where instances seamlessly integrate with each other. Users can talk to each other and participate in their communities. For example, my account is on lemm.ee and the community i am posting to is on slrpnk.net, yet i feel no friction.

What's an instance?

An instance is a server running software, with users, and communities, etc. (Each of these is like a mini-reddit/twitter/etc!) The software part is important, since instances can either be forums, microblogs, video-sharing sites, etc etc. And they can all interact with each other!

What's the "fediverse"?

The fediverse (federation + universe) is a coalition of federated instances running all types of different software, so a user from a forum instance (lemmy) can interact with a user from a microblog instance (mastodon)

Another example is bluesky, but that uses a different protocol, and is much less effective than ActivityPub.

Why should i use the fediverse over normal social media?

Many reasons. A few:

  • it can never truly die - People can always create software and run instances, and if one goes down, the others will still be up.

  • No one person controls the fediverse. We are all on equal grounds.

  • Unlike corporations who back social media platforms, fedi is 100% ran by normal people. You can talk to developers, instance hosters, the mods, all as normal people, and they (unless you use their server) have no control over you.

  • There is no need to appeal to advertisers

  • Freedom of choice. Disagree with an instance's values, or a developer's? Easy, defederate or just don't use their software. You will still have the fediverse as a whole accessible to you, without the parts you do not like.

I'm convinced! How do i begin?

Excellent!

First you must choose what software you want your instance of choosing to run:

  • Lemmy if you care about apps
  • Piefed if you care about features/fast development, or a lightweight instance
  • Mbin if you want both your blog and forum account in the same place

Instances

Lemmy

Piefed

Mbin

Apps/clients [everything after this point is optional]

some people may not like the default frontends or want to access their instance through mobile, here is a curated list:

Lemmy

Mbin

Communities

Here are some good community recommendations, based on topics:

Memes

Software

Politics

Casual

Knowledge

History

Animals

Art

Postface

That's about all there's left for you; have fun!

Finally... im done writing this...

I'm not sure if this is a weird bug with the search or there's something weird in the database. It's also odd that they show different subscriber counts. Both link to [email protected].

Edit: This is related to a known problem as Ategon mentioned. Disregard! :)

I posted this on the other site but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics.

note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)! I will try to keep this thread updated over time.

Note: if you wish to auto-subscribe to all of the communities below, I have a post in the comments that describes how to do so.


My rough criterion was:

  • Of interest to me or a wide audience
  • Has a decent amount of activity
  • Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities.
  • 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc.
