Lemmy.ca's Main Community

Greetings ~~shitlords~~, fellow Canadians.

Hi. Calgarian checking in. I am happy to find this!

Love Sci fi, fishing, minesweeper and astronomy.

Hello, I'm a long time lurker from Reddit. Thought I would give this a try, I'm interested. I live in Ontario and work in healthcare IT. I'm still figuring out how Lemmy works. I used to browse Reddit by /r/all and filtered out the communities I didn't want to see.. looks like I can sort of do that by setting the filter at the top to All.

I'm very curious how June 12th is going to shake out. Will Reddit back down? Is this price anchoring? Are they going to lower the cost? There's no way I'm paying a subscription to use reddit, even if it was $1 a month lol

Why do other some communities I'm subbed to when viewing through lemmy.ca show no posts, no users, etc?

Like if I view [email protected] through lemmy.ca, it shows no posts.

This is fantastic; thank you for hosting this instance. I was more of a Reddit lurker but intend to be more active on this federated platform to help the community build. Having lurked a bit before registering I have to say that I hope the community vibe stays the same as it seems less toxic so far than a lot of the Reddit communities.

With reddit going south with their API change (it seems), it's nice to have a new place to chat, discuss and get informed. Hopefully the disinformation will be kept to a minimum!

Is there a way to export a list of all the communities (or kbin magazines) that I'm subscribed to? I can see the list on the right side of the front page, but that's more in the URL style -- I'd still have to parse out the [email protected] format of the community/magazine.

While all this was lemmy/kbin situation was fleshing out, I made accounts on a few different servers, but I'd like to centralize eventually.

Hey all! Came here after the Reddit news like a lot of you. Getting my feet wet around here, but I'm into technology and metal so that's where I'll head out to.

Good to be here! Thanks for setting it up!

It's nice to be here! I've been meaning to check this place out for a while, and suddenly there's much more activity, so now seems like a good time :)

Is there a Patreon page or something where we can send donations for lemmy.ca in particular? I'd love to be sure you have what you need to keep this all running.

Hey again, been a while since I posted in this thread! Was hoping to clarify a bit on the Lemmy.ca rules if I could. I have two questions:

1. What is the stance on NSFL/gore content? Allowed, discouraged, banned?
2. We have the rule "No porn." This sounds simple, but what is classified as porn. Is all nudity porn? Is nudity alright in an artistic context such as the Statue of David? What about a medical/injury setting, or a non-pornographic setting such as "public freakout" videos?

I ask these questions as I moderate !roadcam which could have both of these sorts of content posted to it, if not often. I am unsure if I want to ban that content outright, but it would be handy to know the instance rules first.

Nice to meet you all! Still getting used to the website, I have some instances who work always great, and others working meh, but hey, I think a lot of tweaks will have to be made because we are a lot to migrate here lol

Hi folks!

I'm Anvil, a student in his final term of an I.T. program. I moved to Ontario for school, so it's been a bit of a wild ride. I'm hoping to find a good Reddit alternative for after RIF goes down due to corporate greed.

General interests include games (PC, switch, PS5), books (fantasy and sci-fi mostly), movies, and music. Big fan of board games and TTRPGs too (#ForeverDM)

Here's to the future!
