There are some funky federation issues right now, the servers are straining a little bit under the load spike. I can see your post.

Cisgender means the person has a gender identity that matches the sex they were assigned at birth.

If you are a man and you were assigned male at birth, you are cis.

If you are a man and you were assigned female at birth, you are trans.

Non-binary can mean anything from not having a strong specifically male or female identity to closer to switching identities (bi-gender falls closer into this) to just having a lot of serious fluidity, but typically speaking at least part of the time the identity doesn’t match the assigned sex at birth.

I’m so glad the app I’m using right now added NSFW blur recently. As long as the person posted marked it correctly, I’m no longer getting surprise porn all over the place.

Now, if only the people posting would always remember to mark things NSFW…

Magazines (kbin) and Communities (Lemmy) are the naming conventions for the group type of posts offered - like subreddits. Magazines and Communities are effectively the same thing, just different naming conventions from their different backbone software running on the instance.

Instances are the full server in which the communities and users are held. Like sh.itjust.works is an instance - it’s the page where you can log into in order to then interact with anything both housed within your instance as well as the greater fediverse (barring any defederated instances, as you mentioned).

There’s a community of old stories from Reddit lore is a NSFW community - not porn, but the stories can be kind of horrifying in other ways and it is definitely not for general audiences. Disabling NSFW makes the community go poof for me. !archive@lemmy.world - I think there are some not-NSFW stories in it but the community itself is NSFW.

According to the screenshots in the sticky on r/music, they have created a new Admin account under an anonymous name and are messaging mod teams telling them to get back to work. And they removed mod permissions from a mod there (but they’ve been restored now).

That’s why a lot of subs are continuing the protest in other ways. r/pics, r/gifs, r/art have all had polls with the subs and are now currently John Oliver only subs, r/aww is probably about to follow them. r/steam now posts literal steam and steam engines, r/wellthatsucks is posting vacuum cleaners, others like r/interestingasfuck as said they are changing rules to be pretty much anything anyone wants to post as long as the poster thinks it’s interesting as fuck, iOS is similar, they’re removing all rules and anyone can post anything as long as it has something to do with iOS, etc.

I can appreciate the chaos this is devolving into.

I wish there was a way to separate NSFW a little more - I don’t mind NSFW stories and adult language and so forth when scrolling but if I’m in public I don’t want to scroll All and see porn. I have no problem with porn, but to me there’s a time and place.

When I have NSFW disabled, I’m losing entire communities that I read the stories from because sometimes the content does 100% need the warning flag that it might not be for general audiences, but I don’t mind seeing an R rated movie in public while I won’t go see an NC-17 movie or an X rated movie in a theatre, personally, if that makes sense.

Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.

They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.

I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.

I was using Apollo and saw several polls. It forced an opened page in new Reddit to access the poll but it was an isolated post and not cluttered or hard to deal with or anything.

I voted to close a lot of subs before Monday. The subs I voted in are mostly still closed, too, so either they are using that as proof it was community voice or they aren’t big enough subs for the admins to force a reopening.

!shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca is one I saw pop up recently.

!gifrecipes@lemmy.world also.

https://lemmy.world/c/kidsbeingderps has a similar idea as r/kidsarefuckingstupid as per the sidebar.

There’s also an unexpected on lemmy.ml but it’s dead so maybe someone with a bunch of good videos/gifs can start to populate it or make a new one here.

If they start inserting ads in videos I’m watching even though I literally pay them not to, I’ll be more than just mildly infuriated.

I have 2 with the idea that if my home instance went down I’d still be able to see what’s going on. Not that I’m concerned about a mass failure, more for like server maintenance downtimes.

There are a couple Reddit centric communities out there, and since this community is supposed to be more about the lemmy.world instance in particular Reddit doesn’t really fit. I think that’s what they’re trying to do.

There’s https://lemmy.ml/c/reddit and https://lemmy.ml/c/snoocalypse and https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration and a good handful of others where those kinds of posts would probably be more appropriate.

Yeah, it’s a new instance and a lot of new people coming in from Reddit so it’s slipping threw the cracks. Just because the whole instance is NSFW doesn’t mean all of the communities are correctly being marked. It’s probably user error more than anything else.

I personally don’t really care, but I do have NSFW blocked in case I’m scrolling in public and I have been surprised by dicks a few times.

You do have to create another account if you want to move to a new instance, yeah.

I think since lemmy.world is so stable and didn’t have (many) issues when the signup spikes were happening a lot of former Redditors ended up here. lemmy.ml is run by the developers.

Because of the way it all works, and because we can interact with everything we’re federated with, we’re pretty free to choose the best instance for us or even create our own if we wanted to.

Got it downloaded. Looks great. I see there’s going to be an update to be able to scroll my subscribed feed instead of all, looking forward to it.

I think I’m scarred for life from the Swamps of Dagobah. And I can’t look at coconuts anymore.
