It depends specifically on the registrar as to whether there is an option to hide those details.

However, many places offer domain privacy services, where they put in their addresses and forward on any contact. Such as https://www.namecheap.com/security/what-is-domain-privacy-definition/

Register your own domain! Pick a paid email service that supports it and then you never have trouble moving to a new provider again.

If you get an email provider that does a catchall then you can just make up emails on the spot and any email to any address on your domain will pop into your inbox.

I get simplelogin with Proton and I love that too, generate new email addresses that can’t be tied to you but all go to your one inbox.

BTW your concerns with Proton are valid and it can be annoying not being able to use an alternate app for mobile.

Pretty sure the user experience folk are screaming for a path to be built there but are getting ignored.

Also see stats from:

• Lemmy.nz - https://lemmy.nz/post/12001861
• Lemmy.ca - https://lemmy.ca/post/15125231

Which are pretty similar.

PieFed communicates with Lemmy. Same content, different platform. That’s one awesome thing about federation.

There is also mbin (fork of kbin), and Sublinks, which is API compatible with Lemmy so should be able to use Lemmy apps with it (from memory, this is what Beehaw are hoping to move to).

Oh I didn’t realise you could download the APK.

I got the email (a few days after registering) and it said the Android app was shipping soon. I see now you can download the APK from their help section.

I think you’ll find people willing to help if you jump into the Lemmy Matrix chat for admins. You should find it in the Lemmy Matrix space: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org

The admin support general chat is probably a good place.

There are Lemmy.world admins around but also plenty of admins of instances of all sizes.

Exactly. Not the over a million that it looks like at a glance.

The user count isn’t helpful anyway, active users is a much better measure.

That graph is so misleading. Makes it look like almost all the users disappeared but the Y axis only covers a small range at the top.

20 years ago, if someone said ‘u’ for ‘you’ then I assumed they were young. These days if I see someone use ‘u’ for ‘you’ I assume they are 60+.

I think Searx is a good suggestion. Can be a bit slow to return results because it runs the search on a bunch of search engines and compiles the results, but that helps to make sure better stuff rises to the top.

It sure does. It’s quite different to other games suggested in this thread, but if it’s the kind of game OP is wanting to try then it’s very good as a couch coop game (on PC, not sure if supported on other platforms). Though I get the feeling OP is looking for action or round based, rather than a quiet tending of a farm and exploring the local area.

The Lemmy software doesn’t have shadow banning, and in fact has a mod log that is very transparent about moderator actions. The modlog doesn’t seem to have anything for you.

It’s 1996 and we have plans for a new telescope game!

2021: finally launches

OK maybe the software industry already operates like NASA.

So you read the posts that you don’t want to see?

You block the communities you don’t want to see.

Wait, so you get a 4 day week but everyone else has to do 5 days so you can go to your appointments?

I do see Lemmy.world admins take quick action when it’s raised to then. However, Lemmy does not differentiate between community and admin reports, so using the normal report function may not be enough. Lemmy.world has a separate process for when an admin needs to be contacted.

I have seen that issues raised on Lemmy.blahaj.zone get raised directly from their admin to to lemmy.world admins, and then there is swift action. Another reason blahaj is a good instance for someone who is gender diverse, the admin doesn’t hesitate to go in to bat for their members

It’s worth noting that instances can defederate from other instances and also remove specific content even if it comes from users on other instances. Instances can also ban users on other instances from their instance.

Using an instance like lemmy.blahaj.zone is likely to be a very different (and much more supportive) experience, even if they are federated with the same instances, due to the ability for admins to curate.

Yeah all you’ve done is put the family name first. Which is already a thing in some parts of the world.
