Lemmy.fmhy.ml FAQ (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Q: What is Lemmy?

A: Lemmy is a self-hosted FOSS Reddit alternative that is a part of the "Fediverse". Lemmy gives us the freedom & full control over our community, unlike Reddit.


Q: What is the Fediverse?

A: Think of email - no matter which email provider you use, you are still able to seamlessly communicate with others who don't share the same provider. The Fediverse (or โ€œFediโ€) is basically the same concept, but for social media. The Fediverse is a collection of thousands of independent social media servers that communicate with each other seamlessly. This means that the millions of users on these servers can interact with each other as if they were on a single social network.


Q: What is the point of this Lemmy instance?

A: This Lemmy instance was created to provide a home for those migrating from Reddit, it's a general lemmy instance that welcomes (almost) everything including piracy and NSFW.


Q: How do I join?

A:

  1. Register an account on https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/signup
  2. Login, and then join communities!

You may create an account on any of the instances we federate with, and interact with our instance and communities. The list of the servers we currently federate with: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/instances


Q: I'm new to this and I'm still very confused about all this where can I learn more?

A: You can find a collection of beginner's guides here.


Q: How do I make a community on FMHY's instance?

A: Just click create communiity and follow the basic setup.


Q: Why is my feed empty? How do I see other communities from other instances?

A: Communities will only show in โ€˜Allโ€™ of you instance if someone in that instance has searched and subscribed to it. Try to visit other instances and search their interesting communities on your own instance so there is a better federation among all instances.

Subscribing to as many communities as you can would help grow your instance much better.


If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and weโ€™ll do our best to answer as soon as possible.

I can't seem to login from other android browsers, currently I've logged in when I first signed up. When I enter my credentials it (the login button) just spins indefinitely.

I'm having trouble uploading images to my posts thru webpage and various apps. I'm getting errors that I'm also having a hard time capturing the full description (something about a JSON). It was days before I could get the image for my first post in !zettairyouiki to stick. What's up with this?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sorry this is something happening on our instance for a while. Restarting the server fixed it for a while, so we do that 5 times a day, but obviously that's not the ideal solution. We are trying to find a permanent fix for this, sorry for the inconvenience.

hello FMHY, here is my first message to lemmy

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I cannot see the vote counts, both in the official website, as well as the jerboa app. Is this normal? How to fix it/when will it be fixed?

Infinite loading icon when trying to create community. Server just getting bogged down?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Try clearing your browser cache. I couldnโ€™t create an account here for the last 2 days until I did. It kept spinning otherwise.

Is there a problem with syncing between instances? I find that this instance is not pulling in all comments from communities on other instances. In some cases, it shows zero comments on a post when the originating instance shows dozens.

Here's an example, from [email protected] :

I tried posting from here to see what would happen, and my comment shows up on both instances, but it's the only one viewable on the FMHY instance.

Another example from [email protected] :
