it was a fun story of young guy from us, who worked during studying in his fathers company, lived in grand pa/ uncle home to save on rent, got loads of money from uncle and managed to save money for own house or something like that. Motto of article was: if he could everyone can do it too :)
any guesses ?
The community is not available. I am a moderator there. The admin says he did not delete the community. Can it be that the community was accidentally made invisible, and how to undo this?
I'm assuming, out of all the Activity-Pub connected 'Fediverse', there are a handful of instances that get the most activity.
That being assumed, is there an app (mobile and otherwise) that, functionally, includes most of these instances?
For example, is there an app that can seamlessly handle Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica, Hubzilla, Peertube, etc?
chatGPT recently started making it loud, that way Microsoft rushed to pour $10 billion into it, so with this new model, are we going to witness the end of Google control over the way we search?
Does Lemmy currently use hashtags in any way? I'm assuming it doesn't since they don't show up in the UI anywhere. But while thinking about [non-lemmy software posting to lemmy communities](https://lemmy.ml/post/705776), I was wondering how lemmy would use hashtags.
My suggestion would be for lemmy to handle hashtags in a similar way to current microblogging software, by putting them in the `tag` field and allow lemmy users to add #hashtags to their posts. [Lobsters](https://lobste.rs) displays tags beside post titles (though these tags are admin controlled I think). It seems like there is a maximum of 2 tags, which I think would be a reasonable limit for lemmy to display too. The UI could display the tags as badges, with some affordance to view any additional tags, and clicking a tag would show other posts with that tag.
As for why, I think tags on lemmy would serve two main purposes:
1. They would enable better discoverability on non-lemmy software where hashtags are the main topical grouping mechanism right now.
1. While lemmy uses communities for topical grouping, some posts might fit into multiple categories, even unrelated categories. Crossposting sort of solves this, but crossposting can be considered spammy if it's done too much. And, on lemmy, crossposting creates another post which fractures the conversation. This may be desirable sometimes, but a poster may also prefer to keep all the conversation in one spot.
Ever since Elon bought Twitter, it caused mass exodus to Fediverse and companies have launched their own Mastodon instances. I am an ex-redditor and I joined Lemmy recently. Do you think Reddit will go the same way Digg did?
PS: I was permanently suspended from Reddit for unspecified harassment.
I would like to make a community dedicated to posting interesting science questions that have been asked and answered in other sites.
The post would be a copy of the question and the comments would be copies of the answers that were found to be interesting - always with the username attribution and the link to the original post.
With this format, users would not need to leave the site, and it is easy to discuss the answers directly in the comments.
But I have my doubts about whether this is appropriate, as I think that it might be copyright infringement.
So, what do people in Lemmy think? Would this format be blatant theft and wrong? Perfectly reasonable? Somewhere in between?

It's an information which i found difficult to retrieve: how much computational power takes a lemmy instances with, let's say, 10 active users? Can it run on a Raspberry Pi?
ie. Will you really miss anything if your home instance stopped federating?
Question mainly targeted at the less tech-savvy users of the largest instances
Edit: I know federation is important for smaller instances and other fedi apps, but my question was directed at lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml users. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that the first time.
