I'm not going to stop using Lemmy because of this. I agree it's part of the fun, but I want to join more communities if I can, so it feels more and more like the large garden of subreddits I used to have (and will feel less and less compelled to still open Reddit once in a while) ๐Ÿ˜„

I tried doing that. On Connect it does nothing, on Jerboa it keeps switching between "subscribe" and "pending"

Ah, OK. Thanks!!!

This is good to know on many levels. I don't know of many instances (mainly learned their names when migrating from Reddit), so I just signed up for these two.

How do I find out if an instance is on an older version of Lemmy (like 0.17)?

So it doesn't appear in my feed, but I can send messages to such communities?

I always thought the only way to deal with earthquakes was to use gigantic mecha that only have 5 mins of unplugged charge!

Reddit has a lot of international subreddits which don't really exist here on Lemmy (they have like 10 users and they almost never post).

Reddit has huge lively communities. I'm having a ball here on Lemmy, but I too must check Reddit once a day to know if important stuff happened.

Sure, someone could say I should work on jumpstarting these Lemmy communities, but I've only been able to to what I can so far (that is, replying to posts and joining the conversation)

They found me out, got to run away now! ๐Ÿ˜

Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...

Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames

Thanks! I've implement your suggestions and am trying them out. It looks nice! I still am not completely sold, but am liking it

I tried Sync yesterday, but didn't have a lot of time to fiddle with it. What makes it so great everyone's excited? I checked it out and couldn't immediately see it having a clear edge over Jerboa and Connect (but it looked nice)

I was further thrown off by the fact that if I wanted to buy it, I'd need to pay for a yearly subscription (and in that case it didn't look cheap)

Honest question for who can answer
