Lemmy does not have an engagement based algorithm. It does not over analyze your every move to keep you on the site. This means you will have to do content curation yourself.
First of all, the block button exists, use liberally.
Second, the subscribe button exists, so use it to curate a nice subscribed feed
Third, I do believe there are third party clients (lemmy apps made by others) that have a word filter feature which allow you to automatically hide post and comments which contain certain keywords. (I think Voyager has that. Download mobile app here. Use the site version of the app here. Keep in mind that it uses lemm.ee as its default instance.)
But yeah, content curration is kinda just left up to you. Subscribe, Block. That’s it.
Alternatively, you could join a “themed instance”, that is, an instance made to house a particular community or interest, like that star-trek instance, but Lemmy does not have enough users for those to be able to exist.
If you want creative stuff, might want to have a look at !artshare@lemmy.world? Sorry, I don’t have much for you.
“Self inserting user”
What does that mean?
How does this surprise anyone?
LLMs are just pattern recognition machines. You give them a sequence of words and they tell you what is the most statistically likely word to follow based solely on probability, no logic or reasoning.
Such bad timing. Sid was calling his mother for 4 minutes, but right the moment she can finally pick up the call… Dam…
Also, who is that approaching? And why do I have the feeling he is not going to be very nice. Judging by the tilde at the end of “Hey Girls~” I think he might be trying to flirt with them or do something stupid.
Also, also, why does Sid’s mother’s telephone has a piece of paper taped to it saying “Do not Touch”?
talkies
If I may ask, what is a “talkies”?
Well, you two are screwed.
WAIT…TF2C is going to be on Steam?! Awesome. Cannot wait!
Wait… Wasn’t Sid in there? Well, looks like they are going to get caught.
Yes, yes we do. If you visit someone’s profile, there is a button to DM them.
summarize my client notes for creating statements of work
Huhhhhh… Last time I checked AIs were horrible at summarizing stuff: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/02/11/ai-chatbots-are-still-hopelessly-terrible-at-summarizing-news/
Granted, this article is about summarizing news.
The comic is still ongoing, so I’m going to be posting future pages as individual posts. As for the post spam… I decided to do it this way because it would be a bit awkward to have multiple pages on the body of the posts (they images would be too small to be easily seen on desktop, requiring the user to open the image on a different page to see it properly).
We have mods of all kinds here! Most won’t just ban you unless you broke an actual rule. Any who, good of a time as any to mention the Modlog exists. You can easily see someone’s moderation history with just two clicks!
(three dots next to a comment and then moderation history.)
Lemmy is, in general, very welcoming of newcomers. We are always happy to see one more person escape the hell hole that is reddit. We all hope you have an amazing time here! Though a lot of it depends on what home instance you are on, but feel free to hop around from instance to instance to find one that suits you, or maybe you already feel nice and cozy just where you are.
Completely random, unorganized and improvised tips and tricks and other miscellaneous information
Reminder to use the subscribe button to curate a nice Subscribed feed!
Subreddits here are called “communities”.
Use ! to link to a community. Like so !linux@lemmy.ml.
Need help? Ask something on the adequate support communities, like !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml.
The All feed only shows posts from communities that at least one person from your own instance is subscribed to, so might make sense to look on other instances Local community lists to find a community you might not find on Lemmy’s horrible search function.
You might know on Lemmy, multiple instances share content. This content sharing happens through a proccess called “federation”. When two instances are sharing content, we say they are federated, when they stop sharing content, we say they are defederated (like lemmy.world and lemmygrad.ml).
You might be confused with all the @ everywhere in community names and user names. Let me explain:
Username are structured like so: Username @ instance link.
username@host.instance
And communities much the same way:
communityname@host.instance
If you do not see a @ in a community or username, it means they are on the same instance you are on right now!
There might be duplicate communities of the same topic on different instances, so if you like one, you might want to subscribe to all of them. (There are like… 3 meme communities for example: !memes@lemmy.ml, !memes@lemmy.world, !memes@sopuli.xyz )
Before posting in a community, make sure to read the rules of both the community and the instance it is hosted in.
It is worth noting, though, that due to recent political… events… politically related skirmishes have gotten somewhat more common. Also, as more people join Lemmy, some of them are bound to be morons so… reminder the block button exists if you are not interested in that. Most of the skirmishes are between liberals and Marxist-Leninist.
I hope my unorganized guide might of of some use to you! ( ^ ω ^ )
OK that was kinda funny.
So cute! ^ w ^
I wanna hug it!
Thank you ThefuzzyFurryComrade for providing me with a daily dose of cute adorable eevees!
Okay. Now that you’ve identified four candidates that LW might refer to, which of these do you think it is?
froztbyte@awful.systems stated LW was an abreviation of Lemmy World.
The are not any references to Lemmy or lemmy.world in that paragraph.
All instances of “world” in the paragraph:
worst ideologies, and fills the world with more ugliness and stupidity
willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this
It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop
None of the refer to lemmy or lemmy.world
All instances of “willing” in the paragraph:
They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives
It does not refer to lemmy or lemmy.world
All instances of “will” in the paragraph:
mad rush to make a machine god that will liberate capital from labour for good
It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop
None of the refer to lemmy or lemmy.world
The only word left is LessWrong, which is a forum with absolutely nothing to do with Lemmy or lemmy.world as far as I can tell.
OMG!!! Thank you so much! (^ω^)
