Do I need to be on a different server?
We are now the 16th largest instance on Lemmyverse, with 497 weekly active users and 712 monthly active users. Great job everybody, we are doing great. The community that we've cultivated here is really friendly and the server has been running very well. Also, remember that if you're enjoying the Lemmy experience here to donate to our admin @pyarra@vlemmy.net using the links on the sidebar, donations are what keep Lemmy sustainable and allow our admins not to have to resort to things like ads to keep the instances running.
I'm trying to subscribe to communities in other instances but they falsely appear empty. It is not a matter of languages as I see some people suggesting. I have tried choosing English as well as Undetermined without success. Other communities in the same instances appear as they should, without any issues. I have tried from different browsers and even without logging in, fresh browser window, with cleared cache, I open Vlemmy, search for those communities without logging in and I get the same issue. Communities belong to different instances, I can access everything through Lemmy.world although said communities are not in Lemmy.world
One of the things that I like about lemmy (as a reddfugee and member for 3 weeks) is that you can see the amount of upvotes vs downvotes a post has, rather than the aggregate score. It makes sense to me to have them separate. I’m using Memmy and the experience here is calmer and slower paced than reddit, as well as a better overall vibe. It doesn’t work as smoothly as reddit via Apollo, but I don’t feel I have lost anything.
I’m new to Lemmy and getting to grips with it all. I’ve found a community !education@lemmy.world using the aggregator lists in the starting guide. However if I use wefwef app or vlemmy in browser the search isn’t seeing this community so I can’t join. Am I doing something wrong?
Every time I try to change my avatar on vlemmy I get this error: ``` SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data ``` Is this issue known, is it widespread, and is there a workaround to get the avatar working?
I have been a lurker of Reddit site from the 3rd Party app 'Infinity for Reddit' for more than a year. I always avoided signing up on the site as the main purpose was to consume interactively and not to interact. Now that the site is killing all 3rd party apps, I'm doing my part by signing up here and increasing the activity on Lemmy to support the cause of federated social media; which to me is the future of the internet. It is free, without any ads/trackers and most importantly it is being expanded by users who want to involve in genuine conversations without the muddiness of paid/promoted contents. It is my request to other lurkers to join lemmy instances and be the part of the process which defines the future.
I'm new to fediverse and lemmy stuff and when I made my account, I didn't know this but I saw a yt video today which showed that the instance I've registered with, can block another instance and I cannot interact with that instance as well. Is that true? That seems like more control over what I see than reddit itself. I don't want to be controlled by someone else's ideologies and opinions. And I hope that's not the case. I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding something but this is important to me
Is this a problem at my end? I’m browsing via Memmy on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. New reddfugee, still trying to work some things out.
Well Apollo is officially dead so once I find a good Lemmy client on iOS I'll definitely be here a lot.

Hello, have you planned to update to 0.18 soon ? Jerboa claims that 0.17 is not anymore supported.
Hey all, I'm new here. Never created a community back on reddit, but seeing as everything is still a bit barren here, I wanted to create some. But I'm finding the "create" button turns into an endless loading icon and that I can't seem to create a community. Tried yesterday and today. Any thoughts on why? Thanks,
I just noticed that vlemmy is apparently Irish (at least according to [The-Federation.info](https://the-federation.info/)) and I thought thats great because I'm American, but also a whole 1/16 Irish on my mother's side ^/s^. So, How many of you are in Ireland? Do you prefer whiskey or Guinness? Do you have any interesting facts about Ireland/EU?
^That^ ^is^ ^all^
Hi all, thanks so much for your input on [this post](https://vlemmy.net/post/59019) in regards to de-federation. I have read through every comment and have taken all perspectives on board. I think I have come up with my stance on the matter for the moment. For now I wont be de-federating with any other instances or servers. I feel it is important as many people have mentioned to "leave the power to the users" and let them decide the content they wish to see. In regards to this I think it will be extremely important to educate people on how to block communities that they do not wish to see. If you all could assist me with that and help guide new users that would be much appreciated. I will be creating a post on this soon and will put a note in the sidebar about it. I also am aware and agree that certain content has no place in peoples feeds and that they want nothing to do with it. I myself am one of those people. Therefore there are a few things that I will still strongly be pushing for. Site admins are currently discussing what moderation tools that we think we need. And this is what I propose and hope to implement into VLemmy. A mod/admin tool that allows me to block certain communities/servers from appearing in all/new/hot feeds while they will still show for users that are subscribed. This stops the unwanted propagation of harmful/unwanted content while not restricting access to it and allowing users to interact if they wish. A user tool that will show the users what communities the admin/mod has hidden from showing up in the new/all/hot feeds and allow them to uncheck it for themselves if they wish. I feel like this is a reasonable compromise and I hope that this will help give a balanced experience for all. Critiques, criticism, refinements, suggestions, questions, all are welcome in the comments and are much appreciated.
I've been talking with [@pyarra@vlemmy.net](https://vlemmy.net/u/pyarra), and we agreed it would be best to discuss this as a community. What are all of your thoughts on defederating instances with loli and shota? My thoughts will be posted in the comments.
Right now, we're the number one recommended instance to join on the join-lemmy.org site, and we are also one of 3 recommended instances in the [awesome-lemmy-instances](https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances) page. We may be small, but so far we're doing great!
