Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Still trying to figure this out. Need a decent Apollo style app to fully move in. I’m so done with Reddit. I already nuked the content they let me and deleted a few accounts. Definitely phasing out.
Click Communities. Subscribe to a bunch. Click on your name and go to settings. Set Type to Subscribed, this defaults your home screen to show only posts from subscribed communities. Also make sure the Theme is litely or litely-red.
How do I connect this account to stuff outside lemmy.world? Do I need multiple accounts? Thanks btw.
You don't need multiple accounts*. Lemmy.world is a federated instance of Lemmy. That means you can see not just the *local *content that fellow Lemmy.world users post here, but content posted by any other Lemmy federated instance. If you signed up for Lemmy on the instance sh.itjust.works rather than Lemmy.world, because sh.itjust.works is federated as well, any posts you make are visible to me because both of our instances are in the Fediverse. That's to say, they agree to mirror content for the sake of building a large shared network of information.
*The only reason you'd want another Lemmy account is if you were joining an instance that wasn't federated. That's to say, someone or some group decided they were going to make their own Reddit-style site using the Lemmy software and keep all of its content private. You'd create an account with that site, sign in and the only content you'd ever see is local.
Ok. I was trying to join stuff on kbin but it was asking for me to log in. I’ll dig in more on a PC later. Looks like I need to change the url to subscribe. Not easy on mobile.
Edit: I created an account for kbin and subscribed to some communities (called magazines there). There are communities of the same name unique to Lemmy and kbin. However, you can subscribe to the communities unique to kbin from Lemmy provided the instance you joined is federated. For example, I like the Gaming community/magazine at kbin. I searched for it while signed into Lemmy.world and subscribed to it. Now I don't need to kbin to see that content.
Oh, I see what you mean. I'm not familiar with kbin, I've seen it mentioned but just now bothered to google for it. Man that looks much nicer than Lemmy. ಠ_ಠ
Yes the url formatting can be a little wonky if you are getting it from a link somebody drops in a comment.
A consistent way is to go up to “communities”, then type in your search parameter in the search field and make sure the search is for “all” (as opposed to subscribed or local).
It will show you kbin (among others) communities related to your search term and you can click on them and subscribe.
thank you for the explanation. i'm learning this platform as well!
