  • I think it’ll be tough to find that corner of it… I think I saw a conservative community on lemmy.world but the platforms original purpose was to get away from the big, controlling, capitalist social media platforms the likes of Twitter, Instagram, reddit, etc. Like mastodon, the largest part of the fediverse (I’m pretty sure), grew alot when twitter was brought by Elon, and more moved after he messed up the platform enough, saying they’ll create their own platform where hate won’t be allowed. It’s kinda against it’s nature to have much conservative-ness.

    Not trying to be rude as based on how this sounds, you seem nice enough and not crazy, but places like mastodon are basically the left’s version of “Truth social” where people are pretty ok with saying “I don’t want those thoughts spread here” those thoughts they don’t want are usually things like homophobia or transphobia, but those are fairly common on the right even if you don’t share them.

    It’s an interesting thought and would probably be alittle healthier, but hey you’re still here being able to provide that counter point of view




  • Yeah they’re saying they just gave it up. The thing is, I get wanting to be different from reddit, but over half of our users came from reddit, I miss using it at times, and many moved over solely to stick it to spez but don’t have any fundamental problems with how reddit is setup. Obviously Lemmy improves on it in ways, but Lemmy can 100% use reddit as influence to grow.

    If r/android is trying to move to Lemmy, most of this didn’t really exist until people moved from reddit, yeah they should have moved eariler, but to me, c/android should be the spiritual successor to r/android, and while I’m ok with different mods, if the original subreddit just up and moved 1 to 1 to Lemmy, I wouldn’t be upset, I probably would have done the exact same thing and gave the community to them, because they helped grow that community on Reddit and seemingly are willing to do it here too.

    Basically ideas and pepper from reddit aren’t bad solely because they came from reddit, not ALL outsiders are our enemies.


  • The thing is, each instance isn’t supposed to have their own of each community, like the goal is to have communities spread all over the fediverse. Lemmy.world not having a c/android isn’t a bad thing, because you can always connect to any other one.

    The parking community name is a good point if it is against the rules but I feel like that rule is just designed to do exactly what you’re looking for, having a version of each community on lemmy.world, defeating the whole point of the fediverse.

    Lemmy really needs to figure out a way to group many smaller instances of the same topic into one, like a multi-reddit feature. That way people can subscribe to a topic and it will combine all posts from the smaller android communities without having to create more and continue fragmenting it



  • Isn’t the whole point of Lemmy and the way communities work is if you want to moderate and don’t like the way the existing one does it, then create your own? Like I get your point here but basically it sounds like the ones in charge of it said “oh we don’t want to do this anymore”. If they opened it and started it off, it sucks it’s closed but a new one can always be reopened.

    Unless you’re looking to NOT do it that way, and have the admins help find new mods for any large community that decides to do something similar


  • Building off what the other guy said, you’ll want to upgrade the hard drive when you can, I got the 64gb one and got two 500+ gb sd cards, but the shaders needed for the games can only be stored on the internal memory from what I’ve seen, and even having a few larger games installed has filled up the majority of my internal storage, to a point where I couldn’t download updates for flatpacs or run some games due to so LITTLE storage. I’m going to look into upgrading my drive because it became such a problem for me
