  • This is more of a support question - please see the sidebar for suggested communities.

  • This is a how to use Lemmy question so better suited for one of the support communities - check out the sidebar for suggestions.

    With that said, helping people spread out onto different instances is good stuff so I think this is good info to leave up.

  • We just had a thread about this a few days ago, so removing under rule #4.

  • I'm going to remove this thread under rule #2. The topic is inherently political and some of the comments are getting rough.

  • We've had multiple threads about this over the past few days. Removing this one under rule #4.

  • Please take a look at our pinned post on apps.

  • This could very well break this community's rule about being offensive and political discussions. I'll leave it open for now to see where it goes.

  • See similar post with more comments - to be fair, your post was first but that one is much more active. Removing this so we have the discussion in one thread.

  • I dislike being locked in to an ecosystem, no matter how pretty it is.

  • Please post this kind of thing in our stickied thread - we get a lot of posts similar to this.

  • If that's Cerberus, the underworld can't be that bad.

  • This is an often-asked question - and it's more of a support question so actually belongs in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml.

  • This should be asked in our pinned thread so that we don't have many separate threads about apps.

  • This is exactly why I started my own instance: I decided that I wanted the local and also possibly the all views to be something I wanted to read. The larger instances are just so big and generic that that isn't possible.

  • Same, but I'm still thinking about the size of my database - and what to possibly recommend to users.

  • I'm finding the web ui easier than any of the apps at this point. My biggest issue is that I can't see where I am.

  • It sounds like you're looking for a link preview that includes an except and a featured thumbnail image. That's not supported in Lemmy.

    If you want to link directly to the image (aka hot linking), you need to grab the image URL and then link to that rather than the full article.

    Note that while hot linking like that usually works, it's often frowned upon unless the original site is specifically set up to handle it - a good example of a site for image sharing is Imgur. Here's a good explanation: https://awesomelytechie.com/dont-hotlink/
