Whaaaaaat. See this is the shit I'm talking about. Stupid I have to watch out for these kinds of pitfalls that I only know about because somebody happens to tell me.

I agree on that point, I have built a site to check for that https://defed.xyz but you still have to query each instance manually. It's just the way Lemmy works, some research is required when creating your account. I could write you a whole spielt on what criteria you should look at but the short answer is that if you want something big that "just works" lemm.ee might be the place for you.

Appreciate the feedback, I definitely want it to "just work".

a decentralized system NECESSARILY has these challenges. it's a feature not a bug. if you want it to be easy then go back to Reddit where it doesn't work for different reasons. this will never be that so either you accept this and learn or put up with spez type bullshit.
