Hi! I’m British, I like music (grime, garage, hip-hop, R&B, and more!). I like art, culture, history, politics, & doomscrolling memes.
Also a touch of programming :)

ANY internet platform that proclaims itself as a guardian of free speech is either overun by racists, xenophobes and the like or, at the very least, holds a significant number of them. There’s a reason most 2000s internet platforms (e.g, Reddit) eventually dropped ‘Free Speech’ as a policy over time.
honestly reading this, it just sounds to me like he isn’t cut out for community management. It is stressful and hard sometimes, so I get it, but he’s going to kill his own site doing this. I did wonder about this before - it seemed like to me he regularly made changes based on feedback on a whim, and these changes were often rushed without much thinking. Needs to know when to pass the baton elsewhere and stick to development, but alas…
The last comments also speak to someone who’s probably hiding some contrarian views of his own.
Shame.
I’m really confused by this direction? The admin seemed… nice, and all of the users were “let’s all be friends and be postivive x!” type people. Not exactly the place for “free speech” dog wistle folks. He’s just going to alienate his entire userbase, I don’t understand the point.
https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases/tag/v0.2.1 download the relevant zip and export your Lemmy.world stuff, you can then import it to any other Lemmy instance.
That’s great
meh, it’s a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.
Obtainium has a setting just for issues like this.
Click on Infinity for Reddit in the app >click edit button bottom left > change Version Detection option to Use Release Date As Version
Worth noting it is not affiliated with the original dev. This guy forked it and took the name.
100% agree with this.
Songs should be ArtistName - SongName [Genres] (Year) - optional additional info
Disagree, even a generic genre marker is useful.
There’s plenty of communities on Lemmy that don’t discuss Elon at all. Curate your own homefeed
already exists, !fediverselore@lemmy.ca and !lemmydrama@lemmy.world
there’s also !drama@lemmy.world or !drama@exploding-heads.com
Spicetify on desktop can also block ads.
Deezer is a streaming service like Spotify. Unlike Spotify, you can download directly from Deezer using piracy tools such as Deezloader. The user then presumably uploaded these to FunkWhale, so as to own their own local collection.
Yep. NextDNS if you want something simple and easy with good customisability, piHole if you want and are capable of putting your own together.
Quad9 if you just want something that’s completely free, protects you from malware, and respects your privacy.
Yes I know, the owners of lemmygrad/lemmy.ml created lemmy
this is technically true, but it’s not why lemmygrad, ran by full on communists, chose the .ml tld
I believe it was a proposed UI for mobile reddit that they didn’t stick with.
CityFibre is merely providing the infrastructure. It’s up to the individual ISPs whether or not they use CGNAT (there’s 35+ ISPs that use CityFibre’s infrastructure).
There’s a limited comparison list here of the more popular ones, but most of them don’t seem to use CGNAT :)
Most of them seem to be moving to discuit, another centralised platform, Lol
