Announcements

We've set up an external channel for this site so you can report issue, talk to mod of different community, request for posting schedule, or make suggestion! Join us in our Discord server here!

In the mean time, you can also use Meta to give us suggestion or ask for help.

Edit: It's now done.

Original Message: Site will be down for a bit for some maintenance work, mainly for upgrading the resource allocated to the instance.

As for updating to 0.18.3, we'll announce it when we're ready to commit.

With the post auto-schedule feature now available on MonyetBot, we can schedule daily/weekly threads for our communities!

Please leave a comment or drop me a message on here/discord if you would like to request a daily/weekly thread for your community!

Edit: Restart completed! Happy browsing Nyets

Hi all, we will be doing a quick restart on the monyet.cc instance to refresh the 'hot' sorting. The downtime won't be long :)

Update: Federation and community creation are now back online!

Hey all, there's a hack floating around which spreads via federated comments and steals users' Lemmy auth tokens. Lemmy.world and other large instances have been hacked, so we're taking some precautions until this is fixed:

• We're logging everyone out so that auth tokens reset
• We're closing off federation and community creation until this is patched

FYI, there are no indications that anyone on our instance has been hacked. We did find ten comments with the code injection attack, which we've now scrubbed. But it's very unlikely that this will cause harm at this stage. There are several steps between this and hacking the entire instance. (Also FYI for nontechnical users, the hack affected Lemmy logins and nothing else. Web browsers run all websites in a kind of "jail")

Sorry for the inconvenience – growing pains. Updates to come as we learn more!

And we'll be up in no time!

In the mean time, here's a video about AI by CGP Grey

Edit: aaaaaaand it's done! Thank you for your patient!

This post will store guides for users who are new to Lemmy! (There's no wiki pages yet.)

This is a work in progress: please questions or make suggestions below, and I'll use them to improve the guide over time.

Why use monyet.cc?

• It's a lot like reddit: Your monyet.cc account gives you access to every other Lemmy community (aka subreddit) across every instance (aka server). There are already over a million posts across the Lemmyverse! Check out !gaming@beehaw.org !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world, or !memes@lemmy.ml.

• But created by our community and 100% ad-free: This project is a labor of love, and we don't have to answer to investors. Lemmy is very cheap to host. We believe that love is more sustainable than a company trying to turn communities into dollars!

• We're building lots of new Malaysian communities: monyet.cc lets us offer an entire "reddit" just for Malaysia. Because you can now curate your subscriptions, we can host all kinds of communities that we couldn't before!

  • Your feed can be 24/7 memes, all politics, no politics, news or no news, in Chinese, Tamil, or Jawi, nothing but !malaysian_dating or cat pics... whatever works best for you!
  • Just subscribe to the communities you like, or block the ones you don't
  • It's still early days, so if you don't see a community you're looking for, do consider creating it!

Minor differences vs Reddit

• Upvotes are tied to your username: Like Twitter, on Lemmy people can see who is upvoting and downvoting posts and comments. (If that feels weird to you, you can use a throwaway!)
