Aloha. I see that "mamot.fr" is a linked instance here. Can I subscribe here, to something like mamot.fr/@pluralistic?

Hello fellow humans. I’m actually from a different CA, California. But I’m a believer that you should choose an instance based upon the administration not on topic, and this one feels much more in line with my sensibilities than the other large ones. Sorry to stereotype, but the conversations feel kinder here than elsewhere (even by the already nice standards of lemmy instances overall.)

I don’t much like sharing personal type information online, so I hope you’ll forgive my brevity. I don’t work in tech, but have had a lifelong interest in it so I feel right at home here at the ground floor of a new community.

I'm from Kansas City! We're kinda like Canadians!

Thank-you for the welcome. Looking forward to the non-centralized fun

Hey again, been a while since I posted in this thread! Was hoping to clarify a bit on the Lemmy.ca rules if I could. I have two questions:

1. What is the stance on NSFL/gore content? Allowed, discouraged, banned?
2. We have the rule "No porn." This sounds simple, but what is classified as porn. Is all nudity porn? Is nudity alright in an artistic context such as the Statue of David? What about a medical/injury setting, or a non-pornographic setting such as "public freakout" videos?

I ask these questions as I moderate !roadcam which could have both of these sorts of content posted to it, if not often. I am unsure if I want to ban that content outright, but it would be handy to know the instance rules first.

Is there a way to export a list of all the communities (or kbin magazines) that I'm subscribed to? I can see the list on the right side of the front page, but that's more in the URL style -- I'd still have to parse out the !community@host.tld format of the community/magazine.

While all this was lemmy/kbin situation was fleshing out, I made accounts on a few different servers, but I'd like to centralize eventually.

Why do other some communities I'm subbed to when viewing through lemmy.ca show no posts, no users, etc?

Like if I view pixelart@lemmy.ml through lemmy.ca, it shows no posts.

Greetings ~~shitlords~~, fellow Canadians.

New to lemmy as a previous redditor. I'm having a hell of a time trying to subscribe to other server's communities. For instance, if I search !indieheads@lemmy.world on lemmy.ca, nothing is found, having the same issue with !wine@lemmy.world. How do I subscribe to these communities from a lemmy.ca account? Thanks in advance for any help!

Heyo! Nice to be here, excited for Lemmy so far. Thanks for hosting!

Hello from South Eastern Ontario! Great to be here! I'm about anything tech, fitness, automotive (cars, trucks, motorcycles, ICE, Hybrid, Electric), and overall physical and mental health!

Very open minded and always will to learn. I also have this uncanny ability to change my opinion and direction as long as there is sufficient data from reputable sources :)

Let's link up and chat!

Omg did I actually figure out how to join? Yay

Is there a way to sort comments? Currently using Jerboa on android

I'm a reddit refugee like many others, and was delighted to find Canada well-represented in the fediverse!

Now I've been exploring various communities and have a question. Many posts seem to offer a link to another instance and all the comments are local to that instance. I don't think I can post there without opening a new account? Or am I wrong? I can comment in the post containing the link, but there is usually no activity there, so I can't join an ongoing discussion that way.

Or at least that's the way it appears to me. I'm confused!

Hello, Lemmy community! Greetings from BC.

I've been a reddit user for a lot of years, and have been looking for an alternative for a while now. Maybe this is it? I like things that are free, open-source, distributed, federated, etc. I want to give my energy to this kind of community, not something run by a corporation.
