Hi all 👋

Here with a small guide for the Eternity app for Lemmy, on how to setup your own custom filters, so you can weed out unwanted content 🙂

Motivation: I was getting sick of my feed being bombarded with war related content.. So in this guide, that's what we'll be filtering out.

Guide: => Open Eternity app => Tap Hamburger menu icon (Top left) => Tap Settings => Tap Post Filter => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Fill in: Post Filter Name = No War => Fill in: Title: Exclude Keywords = Gaza,Hamas,Israel,Palestine,Pakistan,Ukraine,Russia => Tap Save icon (Top right) => Tap new No War filter => Tap Apply To => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Tap Subscribed => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Tap Search => Tap Back Arrow (Top left) => Close / re-open Eternity app

This was just an example, adjust as desired + can create filters for whatever you (don't) want 😉

I want to talk about Czech topics with someone other than my alter-egos... How do i get people to join?

I tried to lobby on Reddit, with predictable results.

Hi all,

I accidentally used the same email address to sign up to another Lemmy instance, and I haven't received the email to verify my account. I tried logging in with the credentials I signed up with and nothing happens.

Does anyone know if it's possible to sign up with the same email address on different instances? I've tried using the contact support but I'm getting a 502 Bad Gateway.

Like there is the Official Mastodon app for Mastodon, and Element app for Matrix, which app is considered the most official lemmy app for Android [possibly also for ios]

Or atleast, the app which supports most(if not all) the features available in Lemmy

When I click to subscribe some groups it goes to Pending stage for a long time before it gets to subscribed.

Is that because the mods accepted my subscription request or is it taking long time?

I'm new to lemmy and today I tried 4 iOS apps (Memmy, Mlem, Liftoff and Lemmios). None of them seem to support native link sharing. Isn't it a typical use case to post based on a link? I'm confused because I thought that would be one of the 1st features any lemmy client would offer. Please enlighten me where I got it wrong.

It is constantly being well developed.

I'm looking for a way to create a custom feed of multiple Lemmy communities. Reddit does something similar, calling it "custom feeds" or some clients refer to it as "channels." I've attached an image of my custom reddit feeds from the Satelite desktop app.

Use case: You could combine a bunch of news communities into a single custom feed, so you can have a feed that's filled with news.

Sometimes I want to view just news, but I don't want to unsubscribe from all the non-news communities I follow.

Is there any Lemmy client that makes this possible? Currently I use Jerboa on Android.

If your instance is updated to version 0.18.1 (you can check the version at the bottom of the page). You can find some new themes under profile settings.

Near the end of my little 'Euro comics' rant, you may notice how I tried to slip in an offsite link, in this case from my instance, lemm.ee.

Now it looks like it... got blocked, maybe? See the before & after here.

Mateys-- Am I going crazy, or is this something we're going to need to work around, in future?

EDIT: As stated below, re-editing the message (even with the very same link) cleared up the problem. Still, I could see Reddit trying to block content from the Fediverse, the more the FV grows.

From what I understand, federation doesn't currently fetch historic actions, so if your community was fetched onto a new remote instance after you featured/pinned the post, then it won't appear like it's pinned on that instance.

Quick guide on how to use this python script (on Windows) to copy subscribed communities to another account.

1. Install Python.
2. Go to repo page. Click Code >> Download ZIP
3. Extract the ZIP file
4. Open the extracted folder
5. Open config.ini file with the text editor (e.g., Notepad) and type your credentials and corresponding instance links (and save it)
6. Click on the path field within the folder, type cmd and press enter to open up Command Prompt within that folder. !
7. Type lemmy_migrate -c config.ini , press enter.
8. Wait for it to finish.

• Go to userstyles.world and search for "Lemmy"
• Pick one and click !
• It will open a new tab, where you will have to click one more ! button.

Style may not apply to the URL of your instance, and in that case, you need to do it yourself.

• Click on the Stylus extension icon, and then click manage.
• New tab will open with a list of all installed styles. Click on the style that you just installed.
• That will open the style editor. You want to look for a field that looks like this and click on the + button. !
• That will add a new field just below it. In the empty field, type the URL of your instance.
• In the top left corner of the page, there is a Save button. Click that, and you are done.

If you created a sub, by default not a single person get notified about it: it can only be seen in the communities list of your instance. But don't worry it's pretty easy to change it

How to get people see your community

1. Write good description of what it is about, what is going to be posted, what's to be expected
2. Craft instance agnostic link to it. Replace "!sub-name@instance" for yours in this link (see the footnote for Lemmy 0.18+)[^1] [Search to federate this sub to your instance](/search/q/!sub-name@instance/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1). It will direct people to search for your community on their own instance.
3. Post it to meta/main community of your instance: for example !meta@sopuli.xyz
4. Also post it to lemmyverse community-promo sub
5. Start posting!

That's it, by reposting it just twice you dramatically increase discoverability of your community. Of course you may find additional community-promo subs but posting in at least these basic two is a good start

Good luck!

[^1]: Lemmy 0.18.0. [This link will fetch CommunityName to your instance](/search?q=!communityname%40instance&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll) Change communityname with community name, and instance with instance link (without https://)

> I had been having trouble getting meaningful results from the fediverse on Google, and after seeing this post, it seems I'm not the only one.

I got this tip from someone else but apparently this is just a bit of a bug with so much new traffic. It might not work the first time you try. If it doesn't, try again later.

If you go over that limit, there won't be any kind of indicator/message saying so. If you try to submit a post, you will get a forever loading icon, and the post will never be submitted. So make sure to check your character count.

So you signed up on one of many Lemmy instances, and now you want to start joining communities you are interested in.

There are a few ways to do so...

Using the Communities page:

The most obvious one... Communities link at the top of the page. Once you are on the Communities page, you will see 3 tabs:

• Subscribed - obvious enough
• Local - communities that are made on your instance
• All - a bit misleading because these are not actually all communities, but rather all communities that have been fetched by your instance so far. ----

Browsing the front page:

More specifically, browsing the front page with the filter set to All (Subscribed | Local | All) If you are on a fairly popular instance, you will most likely run into posts from all kinds of new communities as other people from your instance fetch them.

----

Using the community browsers:

These websites index communities across all instances, and you can use them to search for remote communities.

• browse.feddit.de
• lemmyverse.net
• browse.toast.ooo

In order to subscribe to or even see remote communities (communities hosted on other instances), they have to be fetched by your instance.

How to fetch them:

• Copy the link to the community you want to fetch.
• Go to the Communities page on your instance and set the filter to All.
• Paste the link in the search field and click the Search button.
• When the text saying "No results" under the Search button disappears, that means that the community has been successfully fetched by your instance (it can take a bit longer to fetch it, especially if the instance is overloaded).
• That's it! Now you can delete the URL from the search field and find the community by its name. ----

Browsing the communities that promote new communities:

There are a few different communities that you can use to find new and interesting ones. Some of them:

• !newcommunities@lemmy.world
• !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
• !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
• !findacommunity@lemmy.ml ----

Browsing Kbin magazines (communities):

Process of subscribing to Kbin magazines is the same as subscribing to remote Lemmy communities. If you go to https://kbin.social/magazines (or any other kbin instance and add /magazines at the end), you can browse and search for magazines. To subscribe to one of them, follow the "How to fetch them" instruction from above.

> ou might have seen that we've been defederated from beehaw.org. I think there's some necessary context to understand what this means to the users on this instance. > > ## How federation works > > The way federation works is that the community on beehaw.org is an organization of posts, and you're subscribed to it despite your account being on lemmy.world. Now someone posts on that community (created on beehaw.org), on which server is that post hosted? > > It's hosted on both! It's hosted on any instance that has a subscriber. It's also hosted on lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, etc. Every instance that has a subscriber is going to have a copy of this post. That's why if you host your own instance, you'll often get a ton of text data just in your own server. > > And the copies all stay in sync with each other using ActivityPub. So you're reading the post that's host on lemmy.world, and someone with an account on beehaw.org is reading the same post on beehaw.org, and the posts are kept in sync via ActivityPub. Whenever someone posts to that community or comments on a post, that data is shared to all the versions across the fediverse, and these versions are kept in sync. So up until 5 hours ago, they were the same post! > > ### "True"-ness > > A key concept that will matter in the next section is the idea of a "true" version. Effectively, one version of these posts is the "true" version, that every other community reflects. The "true" version is the one hosted on the instance that hosts the community. So the "true" version of a beehaw.org community post is the one actually hosted on beehaw.org. We have a copy, but ours is only a copy. If you post to our copy, it updates the "true" version on beehaw.org, and then all the other instances look to the "true" version on beehaw to update themselves. > > The same goes for communities hosted on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml. Defederation affects how information is shared between instances. If you keep track of where the "true" version is hosted, it becomes a lot easier to understand what is going on. > > ## How defederation works > > Now take that example post from earlier, the one on beehaw.org. The "true" version of the post is on beehaw.org but the post is still hosted on both instances (again, it has a copy hosted on all instances). Let's say someone with an account on beehaw.org comments on that post. That comment is going to be sent to every version of that post via ActivityPub, as the "true" version has been updated. That is, every version EXCEPT lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. So users on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works won't get that comment, because we've been defederated from beehaw.org. If we write a comment, it will only be visible from accounts on lemmy.world, because we posted to a copy, but our copy is now out of sync with the "true" version. So we can appear to interact with the post, but those interactions are ONLY visible by other lemmy.world accounts, since our comments aren't send to other versions. As the "true" version is hosted on beehaw, and we no longer get beehaw updates due to defederation, we will not see comments from ANY other community on those posts (including from other defederated instances like sh.itjust.works). > > The same goes for posting to beehaw communities. We can still do that. However, the "true" version of those communities are the ones on beehaw, so our posts will not be shared to other instances via ActivityPub. And all of this is true for Beehaw users with our communities. Beehaw users can continue to see and interact with Lemmy.world communities, but those interactions are only visible to other Beehaw users, since the "true" versions of the Lemmy.world communities (the ones sent to/synced with every other instance) is the Lemmy.world one. > > Communities on other instances, for example lemmy.ml, are unaffected by this. Lemmy.world and beehaw.org users will still be able to interact with those communities, but posts/comments from lemmy.world users won't be visible to beehaw.org users, as defederation prevents our posts/comments from being sent to the version of these posts hosted on beehaw.org. However, as the "true" version is the one on the third instance, we can still see everything from beehaw.org users. So we see a more filled in version than the beehaw users. > > ### Why can I still see posts/comments from beehaw users? > > Until they defederated us, posts/comments were being sent to lemmy.world, so we can see everything from before defederation. After defederation, we are no longer receiving or sending updates. So there are now multiple versions of those posts. > > ### Why can I still interact with beehaw communities? > > This won't ever stop. You'll notice that all posts after defederation are only from lemmy.world users. You won't see posts/comments from ANY other instance (including instances that ) on beehaw.org communities. > > Those communities will quickly suck for us, as we're only talking to other lemmy.world users. Your posts/comments are not being sent to any other lemmy. I highly recommend just unsubscribing from those communities, since they're pretty pointless for us to be in right now. > > ### Why do I still see comments from beehaw users on lemmy.world communities? > > Again, comments from before defederation were still sent to us. After defederation, it will no longer be possible for beehaw users to interact with the "true" version of lemmy.world communities. Their posts/comments are not being sent to any other lemmy. They also aren't getting updates from any other lemmy, as the "true" version of those communities is on our instance. > > ### Why do I see posts/comments from beehaw users on communities outside lemmy.world and beehaw.org? > > That's because the "true" version of those posts is outside beehaw. So we get updates from those posts. And lemmy.world didn't defederate beehaw, so posts/comments from beehaw users can still come to versions hosted on lemmy.world. > > The reverse is not true. Because beehaw defederate lemmy.world, any post/comment from a lemmy.world users will NOT be sent to the beehaw version of the post. > > ### This seems like it's worse for beehaw users than for us? > > Yes. In my opinion, this is an extraordinarily dumb act by the beehaw instance owners. It's worse for beehaw users than for us, and will likely result in many beehaw users leaving that instance. They said in their post that this is a nuke, but I don't think they fully assessed the blast area. Based on their post, I don't think they fully understand what defederation does.
