What does "rule" mean? Is there any common theme to what is posted there? Is it humor? Is it a massive Reddit inside joke?

I think this is what being a Boomer must feel like.

How do I upload images such that they show in the community instead of having to click to open the post to see the image? (see image)

@nostupidquestions Can I post here from Mastodon?

I think its a popular but not well answered question right now.

I want to know whether I can create a post on Lemmy, by just using a mention from Mastodon.

Especially if they're made in an engine that has been previously optimised, for example.

Like, right now, my Nvidia Geforce Experience app is telling me to update to the "Game ready driver" for Diablo 4.

What is Diablo 4 doing so uniquely that it can't make full use of the general purpose firmware that is already there? Surely, it wouldn't have been designed in a way that would run poorly unless Nvidia made a new version that set straight their performance blunders, right? What are they doing here?

We recently had our heater changed to a heat pump and whilst producing the same amount of heat, it's also very energy efficient, using a good chunk less energy than our previous heater.

How do they work and how are they so damn efficient?

And if it is possible to correct your vision with the camera lens, can the picture then be printed with the same clarity for the poor vision haver?

I was around at the time, but I went from /. and/or forums to nothing to reddit. I was also about 5-7 years late to reddit

What were the prevalent reddit like boards at the time doing such that reddit became popular?

I get that actors are expensive, but how does it ever get to insane numbers like 350 million (for endgame) and 200 million (for titanic).

Am I missing some insane cost? And why do some of the best movies ever suddenly cost a lot less?

I want to not have nsfw content in my feed and want to block lemmynsfw. I'm tired of scrolling past barely blurred photos on my phone so I can block a single board when the entire server is dedicated to porn.

My niece lives now lives with me (10 years old) and doesn’t like me calling it “bedtime”… it’s “baby-ish”… but she doesn’t have an alternate suggestion. I’m open to ideas?

I'm a reddit refugee considering spinning up a lemmy instance. I've always been a lurker and I want to be more active in this new community. My biggest deterrent in starting an instance and adding some communities (I know I don't have to have communities on an instance, but I want to!) is moderating users and posts. How much time does it take? How often do trolls need to be dealt with? What are the other things I'm not thinking about? Am I overthinking this?

I recently created a community for the practice of semen retention. It is an ancient practice and has ties to Taoism. For me and others it is largely for the sake of self improvement and spiritual / material progress.

I posted on a new communities forum and the post almost immediately has garnered several downvotes. I'm genuinely confused as to why. The practice is not hurting anyone, nor is it rude or offensive.

Can i move my account to some other server?

Modding on either Reddit or Lemmy seems like a lot of work. It's like a part time job where you don't get paid. What do the mods get out of their labor?

I tried uploading a pic w/ the "upload image" but it didn't really work, post showed as text-only, so I resorted back to imgur. But is there an alternative we should be using?

Every time I try to spread butter or jam over a slice of toasted bread using a steak knife instead of a butter knife, I never seem to be able to spread the topping that evenly.

I know I could figure this out if I just used my brain or paid slightly more attention while buttering the toast. But if I went to that effort, I could have just as easily gotten out a proper butter knife and made the whole issue moot, and I'm definitely too lazy to do that, so here we are.

Slight caveat: the steak knife in question is non-serrated, if that makes any difference.

As the question asks, my page has apparently finished loading and I am scrolling through, then all of a sudden posts begin to appear again at the top of the list pushing down where I am currently at. It isn't just one or two posts, sometimes it's a waterfall of posts. I guess they are loading in async.

Is there some setting I can change to stop this, do I have my filters wrong. I'm normally browsing with All, then I switch to Active or Hot, but it seems to happen with any way I have it set.
