I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)

Direct message

The new version also hasn’t been around for that long, so it might face issues that will be worked out over time. We already had a post on a Lemmy android community about moisture issues

I think you can do that with one of the brushes actually

Pencil icon -> swipe up -> draw mode -> block icon

The one next to it does a blur

It’s actually recommended by a lot of profs now where I am, which is really nice

They overhauled the UI recently and it looks nice and modern too

I found it to be more than I needed. I still have it installed, but use localsend more often

Am I the only one that gets this? I tried uploading a video but can’t seem to regardless of file size

I don’t think you can upload a video to Lemmy directly. People usually upload to another site and then paste the link in the URL field.


Toggling between sections makes no difference

This shouldn’t happen, I’ll poke around and see if I can replicate it.


so many different sections of lemmy makes it difficult to know where to post

Quick overview if it helps:

  • subscribed, local, all, moderator view are different feeds that will show posts from different collections of communities:

    • subscribed shows posts from communities you subscribe to
    • local shows posts from communities on the instance. This can be helpful for topic specific instances, and on our instance it will get you a lot of the Canadian content. The full list of communities on our instance are here: https://lemmy.ca/communities
    • all shows all content that the instance knows about
    • moderator view only shows posts from communities where you are a mod.
  • hot, active, scaled, controversial etc. affects the order of the posts on the feed.

You can set defaults in your settings once you know what you like, I haven’t changed mine in a long time now. I use subscribed with scaled, but I recommend trying out things to see what you prefer :)


When posting, you will be posting to a specific community. What I like to do is navigate to it in my address bar. It will follow this format:

lemmy.ca/c/COMMUNITY@example.com

For example

  • the fediverse community on lemmy.world: lemmy.ca/c/fediverse@lemmy.world
  • the Canada community on lemmy.ca: lemmy.ca/c/canada (or lemmy.ca/c/canada@lemmy.ca if you find it easier)

Excited, I loved seeing people meeting up at community centres and communal spaces to watch the games :)

I end up using some blog post when that happens because the forums make no sense
