Don't ask support questions in !asklemmy@lemmy.world, per rule 5:

It is not a place for ‘how do I?’, type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Goddamn, how many times did the Guardian change the headline on this?

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 3 points 6 months ago

I'm doing my part! Sub to !rwby@sh.itjust.works to see some fanart whenever I remember to post.

Welcome friend! Happy to have you here.

Just a note on terminology, but subreddits are called communities here (hence the c/ in the url), not feddits. Also, the software this place runs is called Lemmy, so most places discussing it will have Lemmy in the name not Feddit. For questions about here there's !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, but feel free to ask questions here or on !feddituk@feddit.uk and people will normally be happy to help (including myself).

Is there a Feditt to ask if there are existing feddits, like r/findareddit?

!findacommunity@lemmy.ml or you could ask in !communitypromo@lemmy.ca which is more active.

Is there a Feddit to discuss Feddit Apps?

!lemmyapps@lemmy.world. To find apps https://join-lemmy.org/apps has a list of apps with filters for platforms. I'm not an IOS user, but I've heard good things about Mlem.

Can I edit/change my username?

You can't change your username, but you have a setting called 'Display name' which can be changed and will be what shows up in most places, e.g. my username is flamingos but my display name is flamingos-cant which is the name you see.

Sorry for all the edits & questions, I’m like a kid in a sweatshop, this Voyager App is the closest U.I. to Apollo for Reddit & it feels like I’m using Apollo.

I don't user Voyager myself, but I've heard it very good. Certainly can't go wrong with it.

I’ve brought some Hobnobs with Chocolate on…

Trying to curry favours with the admins I see. It's working.

They would have a lot more options in that case, like they could stop engaging or explain they're not comfortable being open about it. Requiring having you're gender identity display in your bio/display name would make it too easy to glean by potential abusers and thus make this platform unsafe for vulnerable trans people.

I use a GNU system, which as we all know isn't Unix.

Unrelated kinda but I use nslookup because I thought it was more widely supported out of the box than dig?

I don't think I've ever been in a situation where nslookup was available but dig wasn't. On Fedora, they're in the same package.

My greatest Lemmy achievement was spawning an entire community because I locked a post.

IDK, this would force closeted trans people either to out themselves or misgender themselves. Not everyone is in a position where it's safe to be themselves, even online.

Has to be, no way SDF has 5 million comments.

The 'slut' maybe? Still, seems excessive.
