Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.

When browsing all, it doesn’t matter whether the instance is in Australia or in Portugal. Because lemmy.world is the biggest one and all the content comes from there, that’s what I see.
Maybe they’re Americans from U.S., but I don’t care about that. I was just referring to the posts I see when I’m browsing all, because the vast majority refer to U.S. things.
That doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I commented on posts that were weeks old or a month old. Reddit had this bad habit that everything older than 30 minutes was irrelevant already.
Sure, seeing old posts doesn’t help to create an image of activity. But don’t think that something old is irrelevant, unless it’s a news post.
I know there are Chinese users on Mastodon. But since I joined the fediverse last year, I didn’t see any Russian user anywhere, or any Chinese user outside Mastodon.
I don’t mind seeing content in English or other languages. A different thing is to understand what is written in those other languages, except Spanish and maybe Portuguese, French or Italian. But I don’t remember seeing any language filter. But I know there is a language filter on Lemmy.
It depends. I’m on two instances, sopuli and beehaw. Both of them are really welcoming and cool, and I can interact with people without worrying about being bullied or harassed or attacked by random trolls just because they don’t like what I say (and trust me, suffering those actions while being neurodivergent is way worse than suffering those actions while being neurotypical).
But I think that more than 70% of the content I see comes from one single instance. Excluding beehaw (they defederated that other instance, and I agree with that), I think that sopuli also has similar communities that are like abandoned or with low amount of content. That’s something I don’t like.
Exactly, that’s what I saw. As an European myself, I don’t give a shit about DeSantis or Iowa or what mass media has censored. It’s OK to talk about that, of course, but when all my feed is bombarded with US content…
Some time ago (months, or years, I don’t know), I tried to learn Croatian on my own. But I noticed it has the same problem as every other Slavic language: perfective and imperfective forms of verbs :S
I don’t see userbase. I see posted content, based on what I see from Kbin.
It’s what I see on Kbin, browsing through all.
Green is good, it’s the color of nature.
The map had low resolution, below 1000x1000. So, no Pacific Islands :(
With my user on Kbin, browsing /all, the only place I see international stuff is on c/worldnews, and not everyday.
Probably, but I’m not sure, those words are very strange to me in English.
When I’m sorting by all, instead of local or subscribed communities/magazines, everything I see comes from lemmy.world. It looks like Kbin/Sopuli/Beehaw are just a desert, until you sort by local and, aleluyah, there is updated content.
I don’t know whether you’re a woman or a man, but let’s say you’re a woman. You know your husband goes to work everyday, you know his car, you know his licence plate and you know where he works.
Now, you see a picture on the internet, like a disco bar, or a penthouse. And you see, in the parking lot, some vehicles, being your husband’s among them. Now what?
Or the other way, your husband sees your car at an expensive beauty shop, instead of being at a hospital, because you said you were visiting your dying relative.
Privacy must be protected, it’s a very important thing in European countries, and licence plates belong to that privacy, as well as phone numbers.
they’re launching in America first
Because GDPR makes Threads to be illegal in Europe, thanks to Ireland and the European Union 😆
When I joined Lemmy one year and some months ago (the instance I’m talking from), this wasn’t a desert, but this wasn’t a living place either. Maybe I didn’t subscribe to some communities, but I could see two or three new posts per day, with a couple of comments in the best case scenario. I didn’t do my part either as much as I’m doing it now.
But now, between holding poop for 3 days, or eating beans, or the abundance of users on every instance, this is a neverending party, and I’m happy. I’m still not doing my part posting, but I comment very often. And I even have one account on two instances each (is that correctly said?).
With correct mods, with wholesome admins and with polite users, even disagreeing, these places will be forever my virtual home.
No, it doesn’t.
