    I went there in 2009. I was too young to appreciate the culture. Locals were busy selling tourists goods and I wasn’t even sure what to soak in at the square.

    A Netflix documentary cannot be made from the refugees. There is nothing to dramatise unlike the sub case.

    You most likely don’t have as much free time on your hands. That is a major reason for this. You can start with smaller books of interest to get the feeling of completion.

  • AskThinkingTim AskThinkingTim Now 100%

    kbin.social, lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are all instances. You can create separate accounts on each one. You can access most information from other instances using just one account in one instance.

    I'm not sure if there is a place to promote your own communities in lemmy.world. I decided to create a thread where you can post and promote your own community. Mine is focused on watches: https://lemmy.world/c/watches

    I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

    Does anyone else get subscribe pending when subscribing in another instance?

    When I subscribe in a community in another instance it always says "pending " in yellow. I can comment but I am not officially subscribed to the community. E.g. subscribing to "!nostupidquestions@lemmy.ml" Maybe I just need to wait. Edit: It says "subscribe pending" in yellow

    Does anybody knows how long it takes to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance with an account? It would give me the green wheel and I don't know if I have to wait "x" amount of time or it's just not possible at this time.
