Website seems pretty neat. Glad to have a proper alternative to Reddit as it continues to burn to the ground lol.

As the saying goes, fuck /u/spez!

I'm having trouble navigating through lemmy. The Frontpage was different before I created an account. Could someone explain the instances? I logged in to lemmy.world does that mean the content on the rest of lemmy is off limits? I have to create an account for each instance?

I see there is lemmy.ml and others

Edit: I get it now. Thanks for the explanation

Easiest thing to do, click Communities up at the top, then click "All" right below "List of communities"

This will show you all of the communities from all of the federated lemmys (sorted by number of users), and allow you to subscribe to them and easily interact with them from your lemmy.world account. Once you subscribe to the ones you want, you can go back to the main lemmy.world home screen and click Subscribed, which will give you a list of posts from your subscribed communities, much like the Reddit home screen.

looking good, already feels better

I just spent a little time today creating my Lemmy.world account and trying to find equivalents of my favorite subs from Reddit. I really question whether Reddit will survive the uprising that has spawned. I think the IPO is going to go very poorly, then Reddit will turn into some commercial mess. This is my first Lemmy post, BTW!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

So far it’s been good. There is a bit of a learning curve, setting up on mobile devices was a little challenging. Seems to be working well now. This thread has been really helpful for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Looks promising, curious how it will turn out after the 2 days blackout

How is the federation supposed to work regarding logins? I made my initial account on lemmy.world but I'm unable to login and subscribe to communities on other federated servers. I presumed the primary server I setup on would allow me to subscribe and comment on communities on other servers?

I'm only a few minutes old, but I'm looking forward to exploring. It's pretty cool so far!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hello! Looks nice, I realize it will probably take some time to get used to, but I hope the community will grow. I mod a sub on Reddit and we are thinking about a blackout in protest, in any case it would be cool to set up shop here in the fediverse :)

The Jerboa app though could use with some improvements to navigate the different communities.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really good.I'm always had an interest in federation and the potential that brings going forwards, so seeing the site grow is an amazing prospect. I got a bunch sub's setup over on Lemmy.ml but I dunno if I should mirror em here or if it won't be necessary.

I don't understand lemmy. I can't login on any of the apps like lemmur. I'd like an app more than a web version that I can only see using Mull. Vivaldi and Soul don't log me in. Needs work.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

My understanding is Jerboa is really the only app that sort of works, but it still has issues.

Echoing what everyone else is saying. The fact that there's servers that can access each other is kinda breaking my brain right now, but I'm also excited for the reddit -> lemmy migration and looking forward to seeing this place grow.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I barely can figure out how this works here. I use the Jerboa app and I often get the error message "Language not allowed" when trying to reply. Can anyone help me with this?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

So...I guess this is a chance for a fresh start then.

Not really sure what kind of things I'll get up to on this site, but as they say, the sky's the limit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Just joined after looking around. Already a daily Mastodon user so I have some idea of how things work and look. Looking forward to starting the Lemmy journey.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not sure if I Digg this place yet, but will give it a try for sure.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quite like it... haven found a good mobile client yet though. But I've only tried Jerboa, and that just kept loading forever

I'm enjoying it so far. Still getting my feet wet and trying to get more comfortable with posting regularly. Reddit made it kinda hard to do so in some subs so this is new to me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Well, at least this place looks a little simpler than mastodon. But could someone explain what's that Matrix User thing on my settings?

How does it work if I come across an abandoned community (with a great name)? Can the owners/mods be modified, like on Reddit?

It's pretty confusing to find a community on another website, then search for it on here a specific way, then you can subscribe and post once it comes up. It's not too bad once I got used to it though. New users basically will need to be given the name of this website and how to find existing communities on other websites and post there. That's 2 things that need to be simple to have this grow.
