Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Sorry medyong baluktot pa Tagalog ko. My friend explained it like this for less techy users:

Lemmy the platform is planet Earth
"instances" like lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org, etc. are like the different countries on Earth
When someone signs up, the user picks one instance to be a part of, like how an Earthling becomes a citizen of a country
If you register at lemmy.ml, that means your *home instance */ "home country" is lemmy.ml, but you can "travel" to lemmy.world, another instance / "country", to check out and subscribe to their community
When you subscribe to a different instance that's not your home instance, you can still participate in their content, and other people will be able to see which instance / "country" you're from
Each instance can have its own version of the same "subreddit", so you can have a c/Philippines in your home instance that is different from a c/Philippines in another instance. But you can subscribe to both separately (sidenote: c/ is the naming convention used here I think)

Someone please correct any of this if any of it is wrong, I'll happily edit

Yeah, parang ganyan din yung pagkaka-explain sa akin nun.

Additional note lang, kung mag-rerefer tayo sa communities sa ibang instance, ang notation is kinda like this: /c/[email protected] Parang e-mail account daw, lol!
