Thanks for the all input you give to me. But, Iβll try to survive and continue to sustain in this instance as long as I can. Let say one day Iβve been kick out from this instance, at that time Iβll quit Lemmy forever.
Oh ya, for sure, but at least check out that site for the different communities you can subscribe to (the equivalent of subreddits here).
I also use these communities to find other ones: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
Thanks, mate. But which one are the most active from all that three communities that you share to me?
All 3 are pretty active, although the bottom one is a bot community hat automatically finds rising and popular communities in the fediverse. The top two are similar, but one seems to be about just generally bringing attention to communities people want more users in (community promo), and the other is about advertising newly created or revived communities (new communities).
I personally subscribe to all 3, but I'm always trying to find new communities to add to my home feed. I prefer using that over All or Local.
Noted with thanks.
Welcome, friend!
I'd advice you to be cautious with lemmy.world, it's turning into a new Reddit
(and it's bad for the network/federation to have such large centralised instances anyway. So you'd help keep the network healthy by choosing an instance besides .ml and .world)
Thank you, mate! Luckily I canβt sign up through the .world instance.
You probably already know the join-lemmy.org instance picker, but in case you don't, here it is:
Oh that is the instance finder, right? Yes, I already know about that. My bad. Thank you anyway.
Not yet, mate. Thanks for the link.
Keep trying on other instances unless your views align with .ml. Otherwise you'll be automatically deemed a tankie by a lot of people and that might alter your experience on the fediverse.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Thanks for the advice, mate. But, can I simply move to the other instances or I need to make a new account in that particular instance that I want to move?
youd have to make a new account. also there are other platforms that fully integrate with lemmy like mbin example: https://moist.catsweat.com that dont look like someone forgot half the css.
You can also use alternate UIs, or apps.
I run my own photon instance for use on desktop, but you can use the official one to use any lemmy account with the photon UI.
I discovered Alexandrite on desktop and it looks pretty damn good too. And it's pretty fast.
Thanks for the response and assist, mate.

Hey there π
Hey mate!
Btw, I just aware this morning that youβre the founder of Lemmy. π Itβs my pleasure, Mr. Founder.
One of them, @nutomic is the other, but we have a ton of contributors now. Glad to have you.
Hi there! I would reccomend continuing to poke around at any instances that seem cool to you.
But Iβm too lazy to make an another account. π Anyway, thanks for the advice, mate.
It's ok lemmy.ml will make that decision for you sooner or later.
I do hope itβs a pretty good decision for me. π€
First of all, welcome to lemmy.
Second of all, make a second/ backup account on a smaller instance based on what youre gonna use Lemmy for.

Hello and welcome! I didn't see a couple things mentioned that I thought were very helpful to me with the instance choosing, so I just wanted to pass it along...
If you look at your account kinda like an email, all the emails can communicate with each other, just like the instances can communicate. Though, an instance can also block another so thay it can not be seen/interacted with. Like, gmail deciding they will no longer accept yahoomail, for example.
.ml has been blocked by a variety of others, so you may be missing out on some interests elsewhere, that you would enjoy.
I use an app and have a few different accounts, the app lets me just swap my sign in profiles back and forth as I like. Sometimes a server goes down or an update goes bad. Having another account let's you check in on the action, on those who are still up and running while the other gets worked on. You can even use the same name, your @ will just change.
Initial sign up is roughest step really... but not much harder than grabbing a new email!
OK, that was more than a couple, hopefully something was helpful though and helps your experience here!
I never knew .ml was banned by other instances. This explains a lot actually
Thatβs exactly what I thought. Instances is like email providers. I just hope that we can use just a single handle that can choose different kind of instance just like Reddit. Itβll a lot more easier I guess.
Welcome to Lemmy
Thank you, mate.
Welcome, new lemming!
Thank you, mate!
Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! π
Sometimes instances can have technical problems, but they are usually short-lived. It's fun to explore other Lemmy instances though!
