Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

MODERATORS
I have no horse in the Linux distro race, I'm just downvoting this inferior version of the meme format because fuck that guy.
You can down vote on lemmy?
lemmy.one has disabled downvotes, it's up to admins of each instance if they allow viewing and making downvotes.
At least in the Voyager app. I have heard it's not the same thing as elsewhere but I haven't taken the time to understand how or why it's different.
I use the Voyager web app via lemmy.one and it does not.
🤷
I also like this setting for displaying separate up and down votes
Maybe the Lemmy instance I use blocks down votes?
That sounds reasonable to me! Would explain why the mobile app has it and the web app doesn't; I don't know if a Lemmy instance has a way to advertise the functions it supports to third party apps.
I think blocking downvotes is an option built into Lemmy servers that can be communicated through the API. I know there are a decent amount of instances that don't federate downvotes because of toxicity concerns.
For me, the Boost Lemmy app let me downvote even though my instance has it disabled... It just quietly failed and when I go back the downvote isn't there.
The Jerboa and Voyager apps, on the other hand, don't: Voyager let's you try but correctly shows an error, while Jerboa flat out doesn't offer it since I can't anyway
mine for sure.
I can downvote on kbin. I haven't find a nice, beautiful and simple app for it like Thunder for Lemmy, though.
