What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Think of it as an opensource alternative to reddit!

I just thought it'd be hilarious if a dev named their game, like, "Warhound 2" or something when there was never an original "Warhound" lol (and like, do so seriously, not just as a parody or joke, at least primarily so).

Canvas 2026 is in one week!

Hello Fediverse! I've come bearing some great news, Canvas 2026 starts in one week!

What?

If you haven't heard, Canvas is a collaborative pixel event that runs yearly, exclusively for the Fediverse. You will have 48 hours to make your mark on an art piece, one pixel at a time. This year the pixel cooldown will be 30 seconds flat, but you can stack up 6 pixels at a time so you don't have to wait ages for pixels.

How do I login?

When you login to Canvas it'll prompt you to identify yourself using fediverse-auth, which involves sending a DM to your account to verify who you are (or logging in with your client of choice, if your app supports it)

Try it out on the Canvas homepage using the emojis

Some random shit I saw today...

Republican leaders have moved to quash speculation about Mitch McConnell, the former Republican leader in the US Senate, amid a growing revolt over the lack of transparency around his health.

The 84-year-old Kentucky politician, who led Senate Republicans for longer than anyone in history before stepping down last year, was admitted to the hospital on 14 June but his office declined to say what he was being treated for.

The secrecy led to a backlash from Donald Trump’s support base, with some claiming that McConnell’s condition is graver than acknowledged and accusing his office of a cover-up.

On Tuesday, John Thune, McConnell’s successor as Republican leader, sought to quell the anger by claiming that he had spoken by phone with McConnell on Monday. A Thune spokesperson said: “They had a lengthy and substantive conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security.”

As it says in the title, he crawled out from under the house while I was out on my stoop, having a cigarette break. I knew I couldn’t just let him run around, and he couldn’t go back under there and get lost.

I’ve seen his mother go in and out of there from time to time, but I also know her as a neighborhood cat that would likely abandoned him. So I grabbed him up and took him in. I have tried to poke my head and this access hole and another one on the other side of the house and look around a bit to see if there were any other kittens, but I couldn’t see or hear any.

It’s probably only about four weeks old, so I’ve been feeding him some wet cat food, giving him water. I have a roommate that’s going to foster him.

We’ve named him Raindrop because it was raining out when he emerged from under the house. He’s extremely snuggly, chatty, and active! ❤️

Like, it might really be a stupid question. I found this 5 year and still open Git Issue asking for the functionality: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/787

If so, then how do you make polls on Lemmy?

China's booming sodium-ion battery industry is facing an unexpected challenge as coconut shell-based hard carbon, a key anode material, becomes increasingly scarce and expensive. To overcome the shortage, researchers and manufacturers are turning to coal-derived hard carbon, aiming to lower costs, secure supply chains, and accelerate large-scale sodium battery production.
