It depends on the kind of immigrant. You have students, high educated workforce, people that flee from war/not safe to stay country and people that just want a (economic) better life.

I think too much of any immigration can cause maybe an issue that the majority of people are new and that the culture (how do we interact with each other, what is acceptable behavior etc) has not settled.

No, I have the same experience. Especially if you want to search for local stuff in my country. It is like my country (Netherlands) does not exist Kagi.

For general topics it is ok I guess. I do have premium but I am barely using it anymore. I use Qwant.

For jacks I always assume that it can break at any moment. That is why I put the spare tire under the car when I have the car lifted. If the jack breaks, the car will fall on the tire and not on my face.

People have met their partner in a video game? I don't know dude.. Don't count on that chance of happening.

Anyway, stop focusing on not trying to be lonely. It will only make you more lonely.

Sure, but if there is too much electricity on the net, things will start to break. That electricity has to go somewhere. No one wants to buy electricity because everyone is trying to get rid of their surplus.

About the negative, I don't know.

Maybe woodworking? It can get dusty and you need some room but you can also make smaller things that don't need big power tools or a lot of room. Like miniature things.

Or computer programming. Create an app. Or do something fun like follow one of the coding challenges from the YouTube channel The Coding Train

What I do is two things

  • Go to the All view and block each community that has memes.
  • subscribe to commutes that you like.

This ways, all your views are meme-free.

Bonus tip for finding new commuties: create a new account and go to your All view. Every post you see, check if you like the community. If you like it, subscribe to it on your normal account and then block it on your new account. The new account works kind of like check off system. Each community that you made a decision on (subscribe or don't care) will no longer be visible on the new account. This way, other communities that are smaller will also be revealed.

What happens if you download something. Does it also upload while downloading?

Is it possible to download the torrent that you seed from outside your network by yourself? Mobile network, a friend or family wifi. To be sure that it does not download it all from someone else, create a torrent from a random file, upload it to a random tracker and download the torrent from outside your network.

It's probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

Same with YouTube ads. Lots of scam's and reporting it always ends in my report getting denied..

 

When blocking communities, they will not show up in your "all" feed anymore. This makes browsing Lemmy nicer especially now that you might not subscribed to a lot of communities.

In the browser: In you Lemmy instance, click on your username (right upper corner), "Settings" and open the tab "Blocks" and type in the community you would like to block. Here you can also unblock communities

On Jerboa (Android): Open the community you would like to block, click on the 3 dotted menu (right upper corner) and click "Block Community". Note: you can not unblock on Jerboa. Use the browser (Settings -> Blocks) to unblock.
