Have you ever been to Tiananmen Square? in c/[email protected]
[–] AskThinkingTim 4 points 2 years ago

I went there in 2009. I was too young to appreciate the culture. Locals were busy selling tourists goods and I wasn’t even sure what to soak in at the square.

A Netflix documentary cannot be made from the refugees. There is nothing to dramatise unlike the sub case.

I am Australian and have always known it exclusively as the American term “ladybug”. Never heard of ladybird before.

Can you find Lemmy posts on google/search engines now or in the future? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

My understandings on the Fediverse is unclear right now. Will you be able to search for posts just as in stack overflow and reddit right now?

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

How to subscribe to a community in another instance? (self.nostupidquestions)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by AskThinkingTim to c/nostupidquestions
9 comments fedilink
 

When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "[email protected]"

Maybe I just need to wait.

Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow

If I was to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance (self.nostupidquestions)
 

Does anybody knows how long it takes to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance with an account? It would give me the green wheel and I don't know if I have to wait "x" amount of time or it's just not possible at this time.
