Mabuhay at maligayang pagdating sa Lemmy! 🇵🇭
A federated community and Reddit alternative for the Philippines and all things Filipino!
1. Follow Code of Conduct
The basics from name-calling to porn. So, no need to list all of them here.
2. Posts should be relevant to PH
Keep all non-PH posts on the Daily random threads where pretty much anything goes topic-wise.
3. No editorialized titles
Stick to the actual article title. Do not add your opinion to it or, worse, simply "Thoughts?"
4. Censor personal information
Don't just pixelate either. Follow this guide on the ideal way to conceal private details. Naturally, we also do not condone doxing.
5. Post ALL ads in thevisoria
Strictly no Classified Ads.

Originally established by moderators of r/Philippines as a short term Reddit alternative in response to the blackouts, it quickly took on a life of its own and now operates as a permanent separate community.
Members refer to themselves as either "lemmings", "lemons", or the few punny titles with an interesting backstory ("sinuka ng Reddit") such as "phlemmys" and "phlemmings".
The official mascot is a lemming (not a hamster!) dressed in barong tagalog and salakot named "Philemon" — a combination of Philippines and lemon, while also inspired by the Cebuano folk song "Si Pilemon" and a Yoyoy Villame hit called "Si Felimon".
The mucus on the sidebar Philemon is deliberate. Phlegm... phlemmy... get it? 🤪🥴

Sharing files
-
When uploading videos, try Streamable or Image Chest. The latter could be embedded on posts by using the mp4's direct link. Example:
 -
For large images, it's recommended to use external image hosting like Imgur to limit strain on the server. Other hosts you can try are: PostImages, imgbox, ImgBB, and ImageBam.
-
With YouTube videos, use Piped by changing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jiEQZpbWtYtohttps://piped.video/watch?v=7jiEQZpbWtY.
Posting links
-
If you have to link to a Reddit post, please use Teddit.net or SafeReddit as much as possible.
-
You can also run it into archive.org or archive.md like
https://web.archive.org/orhttps://archive.md/. -
When archiving Reddit links using web.archive.org: Change the Reddit link you want to archive from “
reddit.com” to “old.reddit.com” as web.archive.org cannot effectively archive “reddit.com” and “new.reddit.com”. Or just archive the private Reddit frontends instead (teddit.net, safereddit.com, libreddit.kavin.rocks).

Sharing that it's possible to make mini pc's portable via powerbank.
Setup:
Mini PC: Beelink SER5 Pro AMD Ryzen 7 5700U 32GB RAM 1TB SSD Windows 11 Pro Mini PC
- bought at Datablitz at ₱18,495.00
- Updated OS to Manjaro. Not recommended as this may void the warranty, pero malupet lang talaga hate ko sa Win11 so I risked it.
Portable Monitor: SZHOESD.a 14inch Portable Monitor FHD 1080P External Display With Dual Speakers
- bought at Lazada at ₱2,905.00 (used vouchers. Regular price is ₱3,799.00)
Powerbank: Romoss PMT40 40000mAh Portable Powerbank 65W PD Fast Charging
- bought at Lazada at ₱3,299.00 (can use vouchers + coins, so this can be get at a lower price)
Cord: BAVIN CB229 100W PD Fast Charging Cable Quick 5A USB Type C to Type
- bought at Lazada at ₱312.62 (can use vouchers + coins, so this can be get at a lower price)
DC Converter: 100W USB Type C Fast Charging Adapter Plug Connector Universal USB C (5.5-2.5mm)
- bought at Lazada Bundle and Save at ₱162.21
- either there's a bug or seller doesn't want to sell this kasi ₱48,417.67 na lumalabas na price. ¯_(ツ)_//¯
- TechnoAmp sells this, pero out of stock nung bumili ako
Mouse+Keyboard: GOOJODOQ Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with Number Pad 2.4G Mode Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Set
- bought at Lazada at ₱838.00
- I suggest to wait for their flash sale since this can go as low as ₱600.00++
- I really like 2.4gHz + Bluetooth keyboard mouse combo kasi I can use this for my personal computer AND work laptop. Tapos I have a HDMI switcher so I can also use one monitor. I had a RAPOO set pero natapunan ko ng kape and this was cheaper.
Total: ₱26,011.83
Pros:
- Parts can be mixed and matched with other PCs/gadgets. I can reuse the portable monitor when I work in the office, reuse the powerbank/cord to power my other gadgets, keyboard+mouse for my other PCs.
- Affordable. Maganda na yung specs nya for the price. One can also buy less pricier mini pc like a vanilla Beelink SER5 (priced at ₱13,995.00).
Cons:
- Ang weird ng form factor vs a laptop.
- Ang daming kelangan dalin and mabigat yung powerbank
- Not really for hardcore gaming kasi underpowered yung CPU + lack of GPU
I probably won't use my Beelink in this manner kasi may NextFun Tablet/Laptop hybrid ako, but just wanted to show that this is a possibility.
