There are a lot of Lemmy instances (or lemmies) out there. I don’t even know how many my self 😅.

Each instances are characterized by their set of rules and moderation styles. You can see them through join-lemmy.org/instances as well as their description. To see a user’s instance, just look at the domain after their username and the @.

Usually each instances can decide if they want to be able to interact with users and communities from a certain instance. That’s called being federated.

Sometimes tho they don’t think an instance’s userbase or community follows their rules, so they can decide to cut all interactions with them. That’s called being defederated.

The instance you are on, lemmy.world, is ironically, very US centered, and is the most popular instance. It’s defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, so you will never see posts from them on lemmy.world unless it’s a screenshot or something.

Since I’m on lemmy.ml tho, I can see posts from lemmy.world, hexbear and lemmygrad.

The benifit of this is that each instance can curate their experience how they see fit. If you think a moderator is being too trigger-happy on an instance, or you don’t agree on how lenient they are (or whatever other reason), you can migrate to another instance. So let’s say you want to go to lemmy.ml (which I highly doubt you would, but just an example), you go into your account settings, export your data, create your lemmy.ml account and import it. Currently it doesn’t support importing comments, but the devs are working on it.

I’m not the best at explaining things, but I’m sure !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca could help.

Leftists on lemmygrad and hexbear don’t support Kamala. You’re on lemmy.world tho so I don’t blame you for not knowing.

Eehh I kinda disagree. Autism is better to describe my sensory issues and my inability to correctly verbalize what I mean, as well as trouble with facial expressions.

The disorder part is there not only because it makes it harder to interact with people, but because of different information processing (natural or societal). Kinda like how epilepsy is also technically because of difference in information processing.

The conflict isn’t just because neurotypicals made the rules. It’s because they have an easier time forming a set of rules and following them collectively (hence the etymology of the word autism). Different cultures have different rules, and neurotypicals can adjust well. Some people may have subteler difficulties, but even then, it never becomes dehabiliting to a certain point, that point being what is the difference between someone with autism and someone without.

Drag is the second one, right?

Biden finally taught Harris the secret of his “Biden blast” move

Inexplicably based

We are so back! 🥳🥳🥳

What the hell is this??? Why are they blaming a single man for the deaths Israel directly caused, and will likely continue after his death?

Started contributing for ibis! I’m working on the table of contents rn

Thanks!

Oh god

Learn from this, and provide misinformation next time 👍

Didn’t know they liked playing competitive Tetris

I mean I know it was a hyperbole. There are negative comments in the thread, though. They mostly don’t like it for it’s short video form and algorithm I think.

Reddit hated TicToc and Lemmy hates Loops…

OK but why the awful A.I. art? At this point, just put nothing.

That’s not just it. She literally hoped she would get an exiting job for the IDF, and said herself, in the following video, that she went on raids “for fun”: https://youtu.be/ytOl5hbTrCY

Also even if it was propaganda, tf do you mean by “chinese” 😭

You’re defending an IDF soldier who was proud of doing their job, on a radical Marxist-leninist forum. Call it trolling or whatever, but that’s kinda on you.
