AMA confuses me, because every post title I come across just sounds like someone playing pretend

I kept seeing recommendations of gimp as a photoshop alternative, so I installed it and… I was convinced that I must’ve downloaded the wrong thing. It didn’t even look like an image editor to me. I’m sure it’s a wonderful program, maybe the UI got better since then, but I ended up much happier just using paint.NET

Lemmy shows links to all the posts about the same link (I think) so it doesn’t feel like an improvement over that

There was this debacle, at least

Finnish group for no-fly travelling

Out of curiosity, does it always start with a boat trip?

That’s so weird, because comment deletions do get federated (mostly)

which can be frustrating for the American audience at times

I get it but that sounds so weird to me, lol

“Trolling big instances” sounds bad but I’m guessing that’s a typo/fishing metaphor. Or maybe someone read your tip as “go through your instance’s All feed” instead of “go through some other instance’s All feed and copy links”.

There’s a few things I hate people for regardless of context and one of those is lmgtfy links

One is a people suffering from a horrific disorder in desperate need of effective medical care (transition) and the other is a fashion subculture.

I have no horse in this race, but I can see the transmedicalism claim

200 instances and nothing but cats

Does it support importing Lemmy subscriptions?

…really? I always got the impression that the admin is some teenage girl

For many platforms it’s even just the original user base that’s toxic

Did you just now discover that most people are shitty? I always assumed most people figured that out at 13 or 14.

Still haven’t, screw misanthropy

Weird question, but does it not have a Subscribed view? I can’t find it anywhere

Lemmy’s got some cool communities like [email protected] that don’t exist on Reddit, so I’m happy

The founder is Dutch, it’s hosted in Finland, and the hosting company is German

Lemmy’s markdown does actually have footnotes!^[1]

Mastodon also has the benefit that other platforms try their best to federate with it
