  • One thing to add is that there is a difference between looking nice, and looking fashionable. Looking nice tends to be relatively timeless. Going back 100 years, you could easily put on one of Humphrey Bogart’s suits (probably minus the hat and cigarette) and easily be seen as very well-dressed. Same for a James Bond tuxedo.

    But neither of these will make you appear fashionable. That is to say, in touch with the current clothing trends, particularly of the youth.

    It’s up to the OP if the latter is really what they want.



  • Unfortunately, that seems to be about local communities, which aren’t really important. In fact, due to federation, that’s the least important aspect of an instance.

    By default, Lemmy is wide open to anything and everything. You need to see what they have turned off/blocked/removed, to see if it’s what you want.


  • Many (most?) instances do block porn. Aside from liability concerns, porn tends to be high bandwidth, meaning high costs to operate. As such, there are a handful of VERY NSFW instances that aren’t well-federated.

    Of course, it depends on how you define porn. I see a ton of suggestive (but not outright pornographic) anime when I browse All/New, but very little of actual naked humans.













  • Seriously, we all need to stop using Reddit as the primary source on this. We have already seen that they WILL and DO bend the knee. That makes it incredibly easy to kneecap the whole thing.

    You can post to Reddit, Facebook, etc all you like, but it needs to link back to something more trustworthy.

    Not necessarily Lemmy, but something that won’t cave the moment the diaper-wearing manbabies start whining.
