I have no idea what I'm doing, but I made it here. I hope to understand instances and whether I need to create other accounts soon.
If you make an account on one instance, you can read and write on the others!
You'll get it in no time. The best way I've seen it described is email. You can have outlook. I can have Juno. Our pal can have aol. But we can all still talk to each other and see the same emails just as tho we all had the same email provider. Same thing here with instances. They're each like an individual Reddit but we can all see them (for the most part, some have been blocked by others, etc.) And comment in then from our own instances.
From what I can tell, it most closely resembles usenet.
Neat, thanks! How can I see which instances are blocked by this one?
The creator of sync for reddit is creating a similar app for lemmy, you can sign up for any updates on the sync community here. I plan on downloading that when it comes out.
Edit: I just downloaded connected for lemmy on the Google play store, working great so far!
I'm on the Connect train right now as well and so far it's not bad. I'm having fun finding new spaces to go, feels like Reddit thirteen years ago when I first joined. More discussion based, frontpage of the lemmy version of r/all isn't plagued by TikTok videos.
