this instance used to allow you to create communities, but they got a bit overwhelmed, so they disabled it, but you can create an account on another instance like lemmy.world or lemmy.ee and create an community if you like.
also, there’s no official app. there’s several to choose from depending on if you’re using iOS or Android. I’m currently switching back and forth between Memmy and Mlem on iOS myself. but there are others, and none of them is “official”. they’re all community-made!
Jun 1 was my last day on reddit (except a couple of days of account cleanup and deletion), and I’ve been here ever since. it reminds me of reddit in its early days, and I couldn’t be happier!
welcome!
that’s like walking into a nazi concentration camp and saying, “hey, guys, ya know, this place is not nice!”
that’s the point. reddit has gone full ex-birdsite. they only care about “engagement” now and don’t care what dregs of the internet they get it from.
I can hear the goose stepping from here… yeesh...
so, are people just forgetting about all the rape, or are studios just hoping that people are going to forget about the rape?
I know medical bills are crazy right now
that, and
Why where they not on the phone with 911 while driving
because that’s not only against the law, but, in an emergency when you’re speeding to the hospital, you’re not always thinking clearly.
what I’d like to know if WTF the assh*le cops though thought it was so necessary to endanger everyone’s lives with a PIT maneuver over a speeding violation when they could have gotten the car’s tag and mailed the a ticket? sounds like roided out piggies going crazy with power and endangering lives just because they can. like always. #acab
it’s always something...
while I haven’t seen any official confirmation, I believe that the instance is experiencing a number of DDoS attacks (they confirmed they had been last week). Their serves have been having constant issues and experiencing extended downtime frequently over the last two weeks.
the 18.3 upgrade should help a lot with that. best of luck to them!
ha! fwiw, this is for the HTPC app, not PMS
Welcome to c/Plex, the home for Plex on Lemmy.ml
This is a new community, but one which will hopefully grow into a place where Plex users will come to discuss, get help, and find current news regarding Plex Media Server and related topics.
Again, Welcome!
Come on over to c/Plex on Matrix to continue the discussion, get support, and more with our growing community!
We're making excellent progress in developing the app, but the work is... a lot. Currently, we only have a tiny group working on it, some full-time, some part-time, and we need more help if we're going to meet the deadline of July 1 for 1.0-- and, realistically, to have a usable beta in the meantime to meet current demand.
Right now, we're mostly looking for developers. Obviously, since Lemmy is an iOS app, devs should be proficient in Swift and SwiftUI and familiar with iOS app development. Additionally, we need devs proficient (or at least familiar) with:
Even if you only know some of this-or-that, you may be able to contribute, and we'd like to hear from you. You can comment here or come chat with us in our recruitment channel on Matrix.
Cheers!
The Mlem Team
it IS made by the devs, and it’s one of the original lemmy apps, it’s just not the “official” app.
ugh, omg, ok… so, lemmy looks like reddit and people use it kinda like reddit, but from a technical standpoint, it doesn’t work like reddit. Lemmy is a decentralized service that’s part of the Fediverse, which is a network of decentralized services which work on semi-interoperable protocols. You may have heard of Mastodon (like twitter) and Matrix (like Discord), which are also decentralized Fediverse services.
being a decentralized service means that, rather than having one, central sever which runs Lemmy (or mastodon or matrix, etc), anyone can download the server software and run it themselves, then federate their server with all of the others. they can sign up new users, and the software is designed to sync up all of the content (communities, posts, and comments) between ALL federated servers. this way, no single person or company can control the service, no one attack can bring it down, no single legal jurisdiction can seize its servers or have dominion over its users’ data… and the cost of running and maintaining its servers can be spread out amongst hundreds or even thousands of administrators rater than having to be run out of a single, multi-million dollar corporate datacenter.
plus, it’s all open-source and free. but it’s also code-immature. despite the fact that Lemmy’s been around of about 4 years, it’s development has been kinda slow until about 2 months ago because, until reddit decided to fuck itself, lemmy had, at most, about 20k users. since June 1, it’s grown to about 1 million active users across all of the know instances currently federated. Development has ramped up to mega-speed, however, it’s about as much as the devs can handle, and they’ve been going full-speed ahead for the last 2 months, releasing updates almost every 5-7 days, which is my lemmy.ml instance has closed their open registration policy and shit down new community creation just to lighten their moderation load. the admins of this instance are the lead devs for the lemmy project.
so, there are a lot of instances to choose from. lemmy.world is the only one big than this one— nice as big. it’s got a lot of problems right now with stability, possibly due to a sustained DDoS attack for the las week or two. it’s having problems federating content from other severs, so content these is kinda stale and may not reflect what you’d see on other instances, so I’d stay on this one if I were you. or check out lemmy.ee or one of the smaller instances.
also, check out the rules on other instances. some have different moderation rules and cultures, some of which you might like more or like less that here. some, like beehaw, are safe spaces and don’t allow downvoting, for example. others are dedicated to porn, while others (like this one) don’t allow porn at all. take your time looking around, but you can create as many accounts as you like.
Some instances, however, misbehave or have content deemed unsuitable y the community (abusive, bigoted, etc.) and they get de-federated. you can find a list of those for your instance if you go to https://lemmy.ml/instances and scroll down to where is says “Blocked instances”.
