cultural reviewer and dabbler in stylistic premonitions
Your spam report about this post did arrive in the report queue here at lemmy.ml, and I (a lemmy.ml admin) then deleted the post. (Thanks for flagging it!)
Unfortunately, the post removal doesn’t appear to have federated (yet?) to your instance - the post is still here. I believe this is an intermittent failure mode.
I’m now deleting this post, per asklemmy rule 3 (use !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml for support questions).
please use /c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml for general support questions (or for this one you could also ask in one of the selfhosted communities.)
i’m deleting this per asklemmy rule 3.
i’m deleting this per asklemmy rule 3; please post support requests to /c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
The Lemmy software is intended to be somewhat censorship resistant, but that does not mean that lemmy.ml is a “free speech platform”.
Like most instances, lemmy.ml has rules (they’re in the sidebar on the front page) and we regularly delete posts and comments which violate them.
That instance you’re talking about is intended to be a “free speech platform”, which in modern internet parlance is a synonym for “nazi bar”. One of the two admins of that instance says explicitly: “racism, bigotry, sexism is allowed".
Most Lemmy users aren’t into racism, bigotry, sexism, and the other things people there are into, so, most Lemmy instances have defederated them.
I hope this answers your question!

!lemmy_support@lemmy.ml is the place for support questions
As a new member of the lemmy.ml admin team I’ve also been removing a lot of posts from here which belong in lemmy_support, which I think is worthwhile for preventing this community from becoming a boring list of support questions.
To the many people who are flagging them: please read the examples above and don’t flag every post that is about lemmy; only flag ones that are actually concrete support questions. And do feel free to actually answer these questions before flagging them, so that the person asking doesn’t necessarily need to re-post it.
Thanks!
it has been up and down a bit today.
i’m removing this post, see /c/asklemmy rule #3 (not for lemmy support questions)
nope, there is not.
also, please use !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml for lemmy support questions.
Nope, you only need one account
well, almost… your account can only see what its instance lets you, eg from where i’m posting from (lemmy.ml) i can see things on lemmygrad.ml but many instances, including the one you’re on sh.itjust.works, have blocked them.
thanks for making these relative links, so they can work across instances, but… they don’t actually work on a given instance until that community is first accessed there through search.
eg, your dev community worked for me (here on lemmy.ml) because someone else here already accessed it, but your news one was 404 until after I searched for https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/c/news on lemmy.ml to make it learn about it.
despite the amazing work over the last years there is still lots more to be improved :)
(i just accepted an invitation to become an admin here to help the two main devs be able to spend more time developing and less time moderating…)
for now, if you want to promote your instances communities to users on other big instances like lemmy.ml, i recommend searching for each community URL on various instances (login is not required for this) to make it easier for newbies there to click your relative links and subscribe.
There are many types of QR code. iirc a single qrcode can contain up to a few kilobytes, but the more data you put in it the more difficult it will be to scan.
so, you could use qrcodes for offline distribution of short text messages or very low resolution images. I think mobile devices’ qrcode scanners will display the contents of TEXT type qrcodes, but they probably don’t have support for decoding an image from one (so such an app would need to be written). you can create TEXT type qrcodes using the qrencode tool (packaged in major linux distros) or using websites like https://www.qr-code-generator.com/ (note that I think only their URL and TEXT types are offline; the others upload a file to their servers and make a qrcode containing a URL for it).
This qrcode says “Hello”:
This qrcode contains this 88x26 pixel (1467 byte) image: 
(created using cat lemmy.png |base64 |qrencode -o lemmy_qr.png; can be decoded using zbarimg lemmy_qr.png |sed 's/QR-Code://'|base64 -d > output.png. on debian/ubuntu you can apt install qrencode zbar-tools to get the two required commands.)
it’s getting deleted 19 minutes after posting, ok?
