  • Three. lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, and lemmynsfw

    lemmy.ml because I was a relatively early adopter in the reddit migration. sh.itjust.works because they’re the largest instance I’m aware of that defederates the fewest other instances. If there were a large instance that didn’t defederate anyone, I’d definitely join.

    sh.itjust.works is what I consider my “main” account currently, but unfortunately beehaw has the largest gaming community, so I have to keep a lemmy.ml tab open for it too. I use lemmy.ml on the living room computer so there isn’t porn on the tv all day.

    Either way, it’s handy to have accounts on at least two different instances for when your main instance is down.



  • Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.

    Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.

    Edit 2: I think I’ve finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:

    1. If you’re on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
    2. If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
    3. If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won’t be censored

    When I’m on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network isn’t censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.

    I’ve just edited all of my scripts to point to my sh.itjust.works profile instead of lemmy.ml. Wish there was a way to migrate comments and posts over, but no biggie.

    Has anyone made a multi-Lemmy yet? Where all of your posts and comments from all of your profiles can show up in one place?

    (also, what’s the formatting for double-spacing after a list?)

    It’s not actually about being specific per se - it’s about overtly mentioning details that are already assumed from context. Grice’s maxims of quantity and relevance say that speakers only provide information when that information is important in some way and relevant to the discussion, so providing information that would otherwise be assumed means that information must be actively relevant to the conversation in some important way that warrants it being mentioned.
