Reddit sucks, but back in the long long ago started by being a link repost website.

lemmit.online is an instance where a bot reposts Reddit content.

How can I set up my Jerboa to show me this in my feed?

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

you can find that bot and follow it. or just create an account on lemmy.online and you'll see tons of it by default.

I feel a bit thick but I can't seem to find @[email protected], !@[email protected], or lemmy.online for that matter. Basically I've no idea how to follow a user. I can find communities fine, but yep, struggling here.

Find the specific community you want in browser, copy url, paste in your lemme.ee search a few times and it should take a little to start recognizing it. Subscribe.

finding users and communities across instances can be tricky, as those lists (users, communities) have to sync between instances, and that can take time. i can't find it, either.

lemmy is still a bit wonky, and not everything works like it should right now. an APi update is coming an about a week

it didn't actually. i was there in the beginning. sure, lots of stuff was reposted from digg during the exodus, but it was always just a link aggregator. and, like lemmy today during the flood of new Reddit users, lots of reddit stuff is getting reposted here, but lemmy is still just a link aggregator.
