  • Curse seasonal colour analysis and all of its surprising accuracy! I don't want to be a bright spring, I want to be goth!

    You live your best life in that blue dress kid and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

  • Some tips for this, as someone who does it all the time:

    • Tag a Lemmy community like you would a Mastodon user to get this to work, for example @til@lemmy.world, BUT...
    • The first line of your toot becomes the post title, so don't put any links or tag the community in that first line. Newer versions of Lemmy can strip out links but it still ends up looking weird. Looks best if you do something like the example below.
    • You can only post to one community, trying to tag multiple will post to the first one and ignore the rest
    • The first image attached to your toot becomes the Lemmy post image, but subsequent images get left behind
    • If your Mastodon instance has AUTHORIZED_FETCH turned on and the Lemmy community you're trying to post to isn't on 0.19 yet, it won't work at all. In theory this should be fixed when more servers upgrade but we'll see.

    Example toot format

    This is my title, with nothing weird in it.

    Rest of the toot goes here and will become the post body. This format will look nice on both Mastodon and Lemmy therefore not making anyone unreasonably mad at you.

  • I cannot for the life of me figure out what this actually is. But congrats on building it and yay for more federated stuff!

  • Glad to hear other folks having positive experiences here too! Idk about you but every single time I've corrected someone for referring to me as "he" on Lemmy, they've actually apologised. Quite the change from Reddit!

  • Being welcoming to people in general goes without saying. But we're specifically in a thread about encouraging more women to join and making them feel safe to do so.

  • I'm a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don't personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don't sub to any of those places you linked.

    Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn't really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I've made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get.

    I also mod !knitting@lemmy.world which as you might expect is largely although by no means entirely women. Any questionable comments over there are dealt with swiftly, I am absolutely not having it.

    I don't necessarily see it as a "problem" that Lemmy is seemingly male-dominated (I say Lemmy because my Mastodon is very much female-and-NB-dominated). It's more just a fact of early adopters tending to the techy interests that skew male. But if someone does see it as a problem and wants it to change, there are basically two things to do:

    1. Make sure you're helping make Lemmy a welcoming place for non-males
    2. Invite your non-male friends

    All that said, other women may disagree but I don't particularly feel like a minority on here and never really think about it until coming across something gross (which is a LOT less often than on Reddit, thankfully). There may be few enough women that I recognise their names often when they post, but let's be honest Lemmy is a small world and that goes for most regular posters in general.

    (And it helps that I'm middle-aged so if any little boy thinks they can upset me with comments about my gender or appearance or whatever, lol, the self-confidence of age is a wonderful thing 😉)

    Edit: Just wanted to add, if you're not a man and you're reading this thinking "wow she's lucky, I've had such a bad experience here" then first, I'm sorry you've had that experience, people suck sometimes. But also, drop me a DM let's see if we've got any interests in common and I can maybe signpost you to some more friendly communities and people. Between my two accounts I spend WAY too much time on Lemmy!
