so. um. my question is, in mastadon even though you have an account with one instance you can still see/follow/whatever people from different ones (unless the admins made it private) is this the case with lemmy or am i stuck here and would need to go make some other places? thanks
edit: NOW i see the tab switching from 'local' to 'all'. Derp

Just signed up, but so far, so good. Easy to sign up and have already found a few communities that will hopefully flourish.

[โ€“] Kekin 5 points 2 years ago

Quite intuitive. I like it. And I was easily able to find quite a few of the communities I like to follow. Cool stuff all around :)

[โ€“] Mithre 5 points 2 years ago

I'm looking forward to contributing! I still need to go through the list of communities to try and find what I care about, but that should be fun!

[โ€“] Melkor 5 points 2 years ago

First post, liking what I'm seeing so far! Appreciate that signup here was quick/easy, had some issues on other instances.

[โ€“] lynny 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How do we get as many people to switch as possible?

First comment on the lemmyverse ๐Ÿซก looking good so far!

[โ€“] o_O 5 points 2 years ago

Thanks, just logged in. I'm so exited to use the lemmy. I really hope others from reddit come here so that we have even more engagement and much refined app.

[โ€“] Roland19Gilead19 5 points 2 years ago

Interesting. I can see promise. I think this will be my stop if they kill relay for reddit.

Thanks to all who are working to make this site work

[โ€“] thisisdee 5 points 2 years ago

Feels a bit similar to moving to Mastodon from Twitter. easier to browse here than finding people to follow on Mastodon though

Thanks for having me, lemmy.world!

These instances feel quite cosy. Homely, even. I think they're called instances? I don't know. Anyway, I'm here.

If anyone has any super-noob friendly tips for being a good Lemmy citizen then I'm all ears - I'm an iPhone user so any app recommendations would be greatly appreciated too!

On Reddit you have your home page or start page that shows combined content from all of your subscribed subreddits and nothing else... how do I get to something like that here, or isn't there anything like that here?

Hey, website works pretty great. I joined recently and was able to subscribe to a couple cool communities here locally and on other instances. Everything seems pretty awesome. Thanks for having me!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just subscribed to Lemmy.world via Beehaw, which already has a good community. Looking forward to being part of the discussions in these new integrated frontiers :)

This is my first visit so I'm still trying to figure things out. I'm on the mobile website right now because I haven't been able to figure out how to log in on the Jerboa app. Can anyone tell me what "instance" means on Jerboa when you're logging in? I tried a couple different ones from the dropdown menu but they all said " incorrect login."

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

Instance is basically a server. All of the servers talk to each other, so you can post and comment on any one of them. But your physical account resides on only one server. Currently, you can't migrate your account from one server to another, but it's planned as a feature in future releases of Lemmy.

Your instance (server) is lemmy.world, so you need to type that in the instance field. Thus, your username on Lemmy (and in the fediverse) is [email protected].

I am hoping this takes off. Still poking around trying to figure everything out!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'm still mainly using Reddit atm as there is just so much more content to see and a few small Subreddits that I haven't found here. I also have not seen any porn here yet.

The blackout will hopefully bring more people (like me) here, as for those 2 days, I'll DNS block Reddit in my network to not accidentally use it during that time. Hoping to get more used to this here during that time.
