Hit the 'Create Community' button, fill in the fields, upload a pic, and finally hit the 'Create' button. One browser loops my insertion point back to the Name field after hitting the Create button. The other browser does nothing, no response to the Create button. I've created another community on a different identity. But am enjoying no success on lemmy.fmhy.ml Any ideas why and how to fix this?
I've been wondering for a while why no one was responding to anything I was putting on reddit- I was putting different questions into niche community groups and was very shocked to see that no one was interacting. Today I learned that I had actually been shadowbanned from reddit for some reason. For those of you who don't know, that essentially means that I had been banned from participating in conversation by creating posts or comments, but I had no idea that was the case since on my end it looked like everything was posted and visible to the public. They don't give you a reason though, but since I mostly lurked and the only thing I ever did post wise was try to ask some questions in various hobby groups, I have no idea why I was chosen for a ban. To say I am angry at reddit is an absolute understatement. I will never darken the doorframe of that platform again, and I am so thankful that we have this platform with much more liberty to converse and contribute to our little communities on the internet. Thank you all for being here and making the internet a place where open discussions can be held between everyone again.
Noticed json issues when uploading images recently. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
First post, honest question. Who will pay for lemmy? There were a few sites that started sometime back because they were fed up with something about reddit but eventually they all crashed because they had no funds. How will lemmy be different?
If I create a community, is it expected that I'll moderate it? I've thought of a couple of communities I'd like to create, but I also don't have any interest in moderating.
[@general\_discussion](https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/general_discussion) Is lemmy.fmhy.ml down?
By unanimous vote, the choice falls to you. What animal do you choose to send and why? it can be the baby form of the animal or the fully grown adult version.
Found on feddit.it: "Guys check out pixelfed. Its better than Instagram.Same concept of fediverse as Lemmy and Mastodon. Website: https://pixelfed.org Servers: https://pixelfed.org/servers Even has a android client called pixeldroid on fdroid."

One small issue I have with Lemmy inbox rss is if I ser my poll rate to say ever 10 min there are times I may see a new message early and mark it as read. However 10 min later I get a new notification for the notification I just read from my inbox. Sorted syntax and unsorted seem to be same file with no changes. Any ideas?
Total Lemmy newb. RIF refuge and not going back to reddit. I'm sure responses here will be biased and I know the system is stressed right now I guess, but does this server have a reputation for unreliability? I've been pretty disappointed with the uptime.
Edit scratch that, it looks like a server load issue (posts are slowly trickling in). That being said still curious on where kbin's instance list is. Hi guys I recently found a new community called floating is fun on kbin. Problem however is I can really only see one post when using lemmy.fmhy.ml. https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/FloatingIsFun@fedia.io by contrast lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/c/FloatingIsFun@fedia.io Unlike lemmy which there is a instance tab to determine fediration blocks. I'm not sure where in kbin to look for such information. Not sure if discrepencey is due to say server load or a federation ban.

I’ve noticed that a certain hate filled instance is showing up in my “all” feed and would rather not see losers complaining and hating.
I'll start. I'm sorry but California Love is a boring ass song. The first ten seconds of the beat is amazing, but then it just gets so repetitive. The flows sound uninspired and the lyrics aren't anything special. I do respect that's its a classic West Coast anthem, but damn if that song don't put me to sleep 😴😴😴
I'm guessing this is the place to post this? Even though my reddit app is still working due to the creator trying to keep it up out of pocket, I've decided to delete reddit for good. I wasn't originally planning on joining lemmy but I have no real social media anymore so I figured I'd give it a shot. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting started here?
When I say "out there" I mean books that cover topics and perspectives that are rarely hyped up in popular conversations around what people read. Like everyone can find a popular video recommending self-help productivity nonfiction or YA #relatable fiction but a recent fiction book that blew me away was "I'm thinking of ending things", it got a movie adaptation on Netflix but after the movie came out very little conversations about the book carried on. Fair warning, the book "I'm thinking of ending things" is a horrifically bleak exploration into the mental state of someone contemplating suicide at the end of his life and his reflections about himself and his mistakes throughout the years are not helpful if you're looking for a good time. But I've never seen a story go that far in depicting someone's mental state in that kind of situation so it blew me away but is also underrated imho.
I think today was the closing of the API, right? So all the bot reposts on Lemmy should go away now? I'm looking forward to posts from Lemmings dominating my feed again.
Was trying to watch something about a gun that I was looking at in a forum, and the link led to a youtube video that wouldn't play. I was puzzled, but then I noticed that the video said it was for members only. I was perplexed, and I subscribed to the channel, but obviously that's not what it meant. I needed to be some sort of paid member to view the video. I guess we're in the stages of the internet where things that were once free, and a sort of wild west as it were, like youtube, are becoming so monetized that eventually I just won't have to worry about wasting time watching youtube because there is no way that I'm buying a subscription just to watch short form factor videos. Anybody else experienced this?
I've tried to log back in to Jerboa this morning and the login fails. Same with Liftoff. I'm sure it'll be the same with Connect, but I'm not going to logout to test. I can log out just fine on the browser page.
Hey fellow Lemmies! I recently came across a YouTube channel that posts 10 AI-generated videos every day, and it got me thinking. With the exponential growth of AI technology, experts predict that 90% of online content will be generated by AI by 2025. This means that the amount of content on YouTube and other platforms will increase significantly. But will YouTube be able to store and handle all that data? How do you feel about this trend? Do you think YouTube and other platforms should embrace AI-generated content, or do you have concerns? Let's discuss and share our thoughts!
Example: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/liftoff@lemmy.world Subscribe button is broken  Edit it is sort of working now (bit of delay) (not sure if the webui subcribe button works still or was it lift acessing via lemmy api which got it to work) 
RANT AHEAD: Quite a few times now, I've seen the complaint that "the news refuses to cover the story about the migrants' sinking ship and focuses on the billionaires instead". This strikes me as totally unsurprising. 99% of all news sites are given by gathering clicks and eyeballs. The Titan story has it all: * Billionaires * Zany CEO with submarine with oddly sourced parts * Tie in to one of the most famous shipwrecks of all time * A story that's technically easy to understand (the sub went underwater and was lost, you don't need a degree in advanced physics to appreciate this) * Some drama because they might have been underwater without oxygen vs. instantly dead due to decompression * The possibility of an exciting sea rescue vs the migrants' story * No one famous or of note on board * This is by far NOT the first vessel lost in this manner * No exciting twists I'm sorry, but if I headed up a news room OF COURSE you will run the first story. It's simply more exciting. This is NOT an example of class war or a personal vendetta against the poor. If you are one of those who think the migrants story should be more closely followed why don't YOU lead a discussion about it, volunteer your money and/or time to organizations that support migrants, etc. It's also a really boring complaint to see, because nearly ALL of the major news outlets DID cover the story, but guess what, it is far less engaging, so it gets less attention overall. Don't blame the news for what stories get big -- blame the public and their fascination with these stories. The news outlets are only putting out what their audience wants to see. Feel free to start a site that talks only about migration issues, but I think you'll find it way harder to make money vs talking about clickbait.
Imagine if there were Tor-enabled Lemmy instances, allowing users to share direct media links without any restrictions. The thought alone is enough to make me salivate. Do you think there will be any instances like these if the developers make it possible?
Hi guys kinda curious do you guys use lemmy's inbuilt image upload or do you guys use external image hosting like imgur? Curious on your thoughts
I spent ~2 seconds looking for a post on this topic, and didn't see one, so if I missed it, that's on me. A lot of people seem to be up in arms about Meta moving into the fediverse via a rumored twitter competitor called "Project 92". Obviously, this is more of a problem for mastodon than Lemmy, but since everything is connected here, it seems worth addressing. So what is the FMHY position on this whole thing?
There are a lot of communities that were created in the last week but never had any kind of interaction or their mods never started to post to attract people (they don't even have rules or a description). Will there be some kind of cleanup or will it stay there until someone asks to take over it?
I had subscribed several hours ago and so far only 2 posts have been pulled, with not all comments. Completely unsure on what could be the issue and I have posted in the above mentioned instances meta community as it is most likely local. But I thought I should post here as well, in case anyone else knows the answer to the incomplete community pull. Other communities from the FMHY instance appear to be fine. Here is the screenshot; .
I sort by all and new and have seen a fair amount of posts from bots bringing over content from Reddit. A lot of it doesn't have much if any engagement on here and as far as I can tell even if there was it wouldn't cross back and forth between the two platforms. The communities these bots are posting to seem to have a low amount of subscribers and with the flood of content it seems a bit like a ghost town. Almost like subscribing to the RSS feed of a subreddit. I'm not up in arms about it. The posts are being made by only a couple of bots into subreddit specific communities (ex. AskReddit) and Lemmy gives you the ability to block communities so this isn't really showing up in my feed anymore. The only possible issue I could see in the future is if Lemmy communities tried to link with a subreddit's. For example an instance's pc gaming community with /r/PCGaming. I'm curious to hear how you feel about Reddit content automatically (or even manually) being posted here.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm having some trouble with logging into my account. I created it yesterday on my PC, using Firefox. I later tried to sign into the website on my phone and also my tablet, but in both cases, the Login button changes to a spinning circle and stays that way. There's no error message or page refresh or anything. I tried logging into the Jerboa app and it tells me my login is incorrect. I went back to the browser and tried to reset my password, but the forgot password link doesn't do anything. I'm still logged in on Firefox, where I originally created the account, but I can't seem to log in anywhere else or reset my password, or even change any of the settings in my account. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate any help you all can provide!
My browsing experience on "ALL" has been a little frustrating. The feed currently works in a continuous update mode where dozens of posts from a community will suddenly appear and drive all of the content I was looking at further down. From my understanding that's because other users are either subscribing, commenting, or viewing posts on that particular community causing it to automatically add itself to the FMHY feed? Is this by design or is there a way to have the "ALL" feed update only when navigating pages?
Under every community there are stats showing how many users were active. "x users / day" "x users / week" etc. but my community shows 0 users for everything and I'm confused. Why may that be? Can anyone help me? I'm talking about this community: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/singularity
hello im a young adult and ive been wanting to sell/make money but i stink at everything and i have autism which makes things harder for me. etsy looks so cool, but they seem really overcrowed how are you even suppose to stand out on etsy? ive know a few people who tried selling on etsy but they all failed and im afraid i might also fail, also etsy costs money to post on. are there alternatives or is etsy the best, also do you have any tips or something you would like to share about etsy? also are there better places to post this at?
My “hot” and “active” page have been showing the same posts for four days. I only get new content if I sort by “Top of Today” or “New”. I’m subscribed to plenty of communities. Anyone else have this issue or know what the problem is?
Hi guys I noticed when logging in recently a lot of my posts and comments where missing. Addistionally some communities including this one appear to be blank while logged in. Logging out I can see posts. While logged in:  While logged out: 
Does anyone else get subscribe pending when subscribing in another instance?
not sure if I'm even doing this right, but I'm trying to find more subscriptions. how do i search my own instance for communities to join? how do i look outside of my instance for communities to join? i feel like i knew how once, but now I'm lost. i use jerboa, if that helps? TIA.
For example, with the influx of new users I'm sure this has been asked multiple times but i'm not sure how to search my instance or All/Subscribed to find it? (I'm on Jerboa)
I tried with different images, and I tried editing them to make them smaller. I even tried to see if it was an issue with png or jpg. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
