  • It could be in large red flashing neon and people will still ignore instructions like this.
    Even if the trash dumpster is a mere 50 feet away.

    People just don’t care. Once it’s out of their hands, no matter where it ends up, it’s someone else’s problem.

    One complex where I used to live, our trash dumpster was a full on compactor, very nicely concealed behind a small hill. Signs leading up would say, “No cardboard!” Signs plastered all over the machine, “No cardboard!” Yet, at least once, if not twice a week, the thing would be clogged because people would toss in boxes by the truckload. Not even broken down.
    Meanwhile, just around the corner, a specific dumpster meant for cardboard only that would take all of 10 more seconds to get to.




  • Yes, you could just go to https://startrek.website/communities for the list of communities on that particular instance.
    However, subscribing to a community on an instance where you do not have an account takes a few extra steps.

    When looking at the list of communities on another instance where you do not have an account, clicking the Subscribe link from the list will result in a popup stating that you’re not logged in and if you click on the community name, a Subscribe button will not be shown.
    However, most, if not all, communities will have instructions in the sidebar for how to subscribe from your main instance without the need for creating an account on the instance where that community resides.

    To do this using the example of the startrek.website instance, if you wish to subscribe to the daystrominstitute community, you would enter “[email protected]” into the search field on your main Lemmy instance where you are logged in.
    Generally the first item in the results will be a link back to that community, which will look like:
    “Daystrom [email protected] - 448 subscribers”
    Click that link and you will see the content of that community again, but now notice that a Subscribe button will be shown in the sidebar.
    Clicking Subscribe may result in a note that says “Subscribe pending”, which I believe is due to some syncing that needs to occur between instances. Just give it a few minutes and then that community will appear in your list of subscribed communities.
    You can now read, post and reply to that community just as if you had an account on that instance.



  • So far I’ve only tried Connect for Lemmy and it works well so far. A little slow and occasionally has issues logging in, but it’s getting the job done.
    I’m really hoping that Sync works (when it’s ready) every bit as well for Lemmy as it did for Reddit though, because no other app even came close.

    I’ve also been trying to limit my Reddit use on desktop just out of principle.
