Always a good time to remind everyone that the FBI (rightly) recommends the use of ad blockers for security purposes while browsing the Internet:

Use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches. Most internet browsers allow a user to add extensions, including extensions that block advertisements. These ad blockers can be turned on and off within a browser to permit advertisements on certain websites while blocking advertisements on others.

On Lemmy, if a community on another server doesn't appear when you search for it, you can use the syntax "!communityname@server.name". Your login Lemmy server will then go out and index it and it will appear in the search a few moments later.

Is there a way to do that on kbin? I've tried every syntax for a Lemmy community that I know of and nothing seems to work.

!communityname@server.name
/c/communityname@server.name
server.name/c/communityname
@communityname@server.name
etc.

Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do... nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it's done for the past several years.

Then again, I'm defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don't show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.

Yeah that'd be smart on their part. They're already paying for the server space and the moderation team.

All of the main servers I've seen have a no porn rule. I suppose it's only a matter of time until someone's willing to stand up their own Lemmy porn server and take on the responsibility of moderating that.

Yeah I figure no need to discriminate at this point, anyone in the field of administering any IT systems is welcome here. If Lemmy really takes off and sometime down the road there seems a need for it we might establish rules for what's appropriate to post here vs. other tech subs, but I don't see the need for that now.

Feel free to use this space for networking related posts as well. Not all of us have the fortune of being able to wear a single hat, and I know I'm just as interested in networking news & discussion as anything else in the IT space.
