PSA: you can't delete photos uploaded to #lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude to lemmy. That would be bad 😱

Oh, and if you delete your account? It doesn't delete your uploaded photos. And good luck getting your instance admin to delete it; it requires a manual db query, api call, and — oh, none of this is documented? Welcome to my #fediverse #GDPR nightmare 💣🤯

Guide to Finding & Subscribing-to Popular #Lemmy Communities

Lemmy is a fedderated #reddit alternative that's exploding as users migrate from reddit

MichaelAltfield,

Suddenly my server got pounded with thousands of requests per minute, and varnish hit rate jumped to 99%. Thank god for varnish!

Yep, I'm on the frontpage of #HackerNews again :)

#Lemmy...so hot right now

MichaelAltfield,

@Ericbomb

Really? That's not been my experience. There's sooo many instances to choose from! Just pick one with 20-100 users max and you shouldn't have issues

Here's my comparison of instances that lists the user counts

MichaelAltfield, (edited )

@maltfield So apparently I can interact with my Lemmy posts on my Mastodon account. Cool!

For anyone else trying to figure out how: I just took the URL of the Lemmy post (https://lemmy.ml/post/1168743) and pasted it into the Mastodon search field.
