Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


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.

I made a custom CSS style for Lemmy, baka gusto n'yo lang ibahin yung itsura sa inyo. I personally found the site hard to use, coming from Reddit, so I did this.

Steps

  1. Install the Stylus extension/addon on your browser. (Chrome, Firefox)
  2. Install the custom CSS from UserStyles.world.

Here's what lemmy.world looks like 'pag naka-install na siya. Enjoy!

full stack developer kayo??

[–] teacherbuknoy 5 points 1 year ago

Yes currently, pero leaning towards front end ako :D

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Welcome, everybody! No doubt this part of the fediverse will see gradual growth, but just the same I'm pleased to see old and new names here. I can't wait to be more active in interacting with you all =)

[–] solidad29 16 points 1 year ago

Not as vibrant pa sa /r/ph but we all have to start somewhere. πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hello! Ito po ba official community ng r/Philippines? Ang dami kasing lumalabas sa Lemmy Community-Browser, nakakalito haha.

[–] megane_kun 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Nalilito rin ako. Tatlo yung nakita kong community dito:

  • [email protected] β€” Oldest post listed is from May 10, 2022.
  • [email protected] β€” From their sidebar: β€œβ€¦ an explicitly pro-Joma Sison and pro-CPP-NPA-NDF community. ” Oldest post listed is from January 12, 2023.
  • [email protected] β€” This current community. Oldest post listed is from June 9, 2023.

According to the mod list for /r/Philippines, /u/decadentrebel is one of the mods, and if the mod for this community is the same user behind /u/decadentrebel in Reddit, then this one might be it. But even so, I can't say for certain if they're acting on their own personal initiative, or otherwise.

EDIT: Si /u/sarcasticookie din pala, mod sa /r/Philippines. So dalawa na sila sa modteam ng /r/Philippines na andito.

EDIT 2: Just took a peek at this thread from the reddit site, and yeah, this is the community for lemmy. There are others linked in the thread for other reddit alternatives.

[–] decadentrebel 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There's been discussions for a week now where to set up shop as the site blacks out, kaso medyo busy karamihan sa mods so there's no back and forth where to exactly. So I took it upon myself to just figure out how Lemmy works, especially with "indefinite" talks percolating.

[–] megane_kun 6 points 1 year ago

Ah, I've had an inkling that it's that kind of a scenario. Thanks for the clarification.

In my opinion, creating communities (or forums, or whatever they're called) in the different alternatives is a good short-term moveβ€”either until the mod team decides, or the people decide (by preferentially going to one alternative over the others).

Wherever it might be, I hope for the best for the /r/Philippines community.

[–] decadentrebel 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup, ito official r/PH for Lemmy.

Madaming sumusulpot sa browser kasi may mga nauna na before for Philippines, some are even a few years old. However, all of them are under lemmy.ml which doesn't accept new registrations anymore kaya dito na lang ako sa lemmy.world nagtayo. And hindi kasing blatant mga "red" stuff sa instance na to, haha.

[–] captaidsid 14 points 1 year ago

This community is a lot more active than I expected. I should probably used the same username I had in reddit. Oh well. It's a fresh start, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Gusto ko lumipat sa lemmy.world na instance (because I signed up for lemmy.ml not knowing the ideological tilt they have) but the perpetual loading is just off-putting. I have successfully signed up for lemm.ee though and it's run by an Estonian so I guess it'll be safer. The community over there at lemmy.world seems to be peaceful (I visualize it as New Zealand countryside) while kami dito sa lemmy.ml is parang New York or Manila kasi ito gateway sa Lemmy apparently 😭

[–] decadentrebel 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sa lemmygrad.ml ako pangalawa nag-signup in my desperation to get something started. Nagtaka ako bakit ganun mga questions sa application form - Ano daw left tendency mo (Marxist ba or what) tapos need ba suportahan mga LGBT, haha.

Buti na lang mabilis sumagot dito sa lemmy.world.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I created my account sa latte.isnot.coffee and wala namang mga ganyang tanong, although its 2nd biggest community is China (1st one is Coffee)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've been tinkering with my lemm.ee account and slowly transitioning from this account to there, but now I cannot access this community from there 😭. Looks like there haven't been any lemmy.world subscriber from lemm.ee.

And I have already filed my registration for lemmy.world. Yet to have approval for my account though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Kaya ko pinili yun lemmy.ml, kasi yun mismo developer ng Lemmy nagpapatakbo neto. It's less likely to go down. Whereas kung sa maliit na server ako mag sign up, baka bigla na lang mawala. Yun ang kinakatakot ko.

Sinubukan ko rin mag sign up sa beehaw.org, pero nauna na ako tinangap dito sa lemmy.ml.

Hello! Sa wakas nakagawa na din ng account. thank you po for setting up this community

[–] megane_kun 12 points 1 year ago

Hello! Si /u/megane-kun po ito.

Salamat po sa pag-set-up ng community dito.

[–] SnowMeowXP 12 points 1 year ago

Hi! I was waiting for the official r/ph here. I guess this is it :) I hope ok tayo dito. Balak ko kasi idelete yung reddit account ko.

Medyo nakakalito lang. Napapost ako sa wrong thread :)

[–] ratskrad 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Salamat sa pag-setup nito! Surprisingly easy to use ang lemmy at parang mas high-quality yung conversations so far. Sana dumami pa ang mag-signup!

[–] decadentrebel 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ang downside lang dito sa Lemmy is account approval. Admins kasi in charge nun and not us so depende sa kung tulog sila or what, you can't post asap just yet when you sign up. That, and the founder and the predominant "red" tinge. Yari tayo kina Sara, lol.

Pero other than that, this is the best among the Reddit alternatives from what I've tried/seen. Meron din siya mobile app, pero obviously not as good as Relay/Sync/Apollo.

[–] ratskrad 8 points 1 year ago

Mejo concerning nga yung political leaning ng mga founders 😬 Pero so far naman maraming instance options to balance it out. Problema lang mukha atang hindi siya designed for scale, kailangan talaga maraming instances

Pero so far sobrang mas OK ito sa Mastodon. Para siyang Hacker News quality pero mas maraming general interests

[–] thecrow32 9 points 1 year ago

Here I was thinking na sa Squabbles ang refuge, buti na lang meron dito.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago
[–] sarcasticookie 9 points 1 year ago
[–] SocialMediyas 9 points 1 year ago

Salamat sa pag-set-up nitong r/efugee camp!

[–] Trigrammatron 9 points 1 year ago

Hi fellow refugees!

[–] Distorted_Wizard214 9 points 1 year ago

So, I came from the main Reddit boards saying that you change sites altogether. Still retained an account with a similar username right there.

Anyways, maligayang pagbabalik, kabayan.

[–] keyt93 8 points 1 year ago

whew time to sort my nsfw list na. hahaha. meron bang import/export ng acc or sub para mas madali? haha

[–] inthemiddle 8 points 1 year ago

~~saan po ang pila ng lugaw~~ thank you for this! we appreciate that there's still a thread sa mga naliligaw in real life (howtogetthere) at online (this post haha!)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

great job with this guideπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

[–] wabafee 8 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I had a roundabout way of getting here. Used a different server to create an account (kasi stuck sa loading yung sa lemmy.world), logged in there, searched for philippines in the All tab for communities, before subscribing LOL

[–] keyt93 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rip rif. Bye na reddit. D ko kayang gamitin official app nila. Rip din to my curated nsfw sub. Hahahaha

Coffee shop recommendations in Tagaytay na may outlets? My cousin and I are planning to work there tomorrow (habang nag-uunwind sana, if that's possible) XD

[–] PancitCantot 7 points 1 year ago

Magsidami kayo, para marami blessings πŸ˜‚

[–] captaidsid 7 points 1 year ago

Nice. This is pretty great. Looks like a lot of my subs have moved here.

[–] seancodydotcom 6 points 1 year ago

saan po ang equivalent ng r/TotallyStraightPH ?XD
