As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn’t use much disk space, so that shouldn’t be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It’s because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

There’s also pornlemmy.com. You don’t need to be logged in to view posts and there’s no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?

Use your instance’s search feature. You can search

• Name of community: No Stupid Questions
• By using !community@instance syntax: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
• URL of the community: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions

First option won’t work if your instance hasn’t federated the community yet. The last option is best in my opinion.

r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can’t see, especially if the software isn’t very accessible.

Someone needs to start a “campaign” for naming and shaming companies who advertises on Reddit. “[This company] supports a company that actively discriminates against the disabled. #SayNoToReddit”

That list won’t show which instances have block the home instance. The blocked list lists only the instances the home instance has blocked, not the other way around.

Lemmy.world is not yet 0.18, so that too might affect it.

It’s not a feature of Lemmy and, I guess, no-one has wanted to create it for their app. You should submit this idea to the Lemmy developers so it will eventually be a feature in every app.

Make sure that your changes actually “sticks”. There are multiple reports of people trying to delete or edit posts, only for them to come back soon after. It seems that deleting isn’t possible and when mass editing posts, there needs to be long enough delay (5 seconds or so) between each edit.

I managed to visit when the server was 0.18.1-rc. I didn’t see any posts and the selector for Subscribed, Local and All was “empty”, as in nothing was selected and I could not select anything.

Some communities have bots that copies posts from Reddit. Some do that so there would be more content in Lemmy. Those bots probably don’t break any rules set by the Admins of those instances.

Personally I don’t like that content is being copied without the permission of those who made the posts in Reddit. Also, in some cases it sort of defies the whole point of the community. For example, one of the Explain Like I’m Five communities has a bot like that. The bot includes a link to the original post. Why would anyone reply to the bot’s post, when you can just read the explanation from the original post? That doesn’t help make Lemmy more active place when a bot posts things and no human ever replies to them.

At the bottom of the page, it says something like “BE 0.17.4”. BE means BackEnd, in this case that would be Lemmy.

Do you perhaps use Top Daily as your sorting? If there are no top posts today (no-one has voted), there’s no posts that can be shown. I can see the posts just fine, but if I change to Top Daily, there’s nothing. Newest post to that community was made three days ago.

r/Blind mods created their own Lemmy instance at https://rblind.com/. They use some beta features and their own modifications to make it more accessible.

Well this turned ugly fast.

Huffman, also a Reddit co-founder, said he plans to pursue changes to Reddit’s moderator removal policy to allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular. He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable
