My man! Now if only I had the know-how to start our MonHun subs...

Don't forget to shit on the devs that made your desktop and mobile experiences better than the official ones you put out

For less tech-savvy newbies (like me), in case there is some confusion affecting your urge to engage/donate... My friend gave me a great explanation:

  • Lemmy the platform is planet Earth

  • “Instances” like lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc. are like the different countries on Earth

  • When someone signs up, the user picks one instance to be a part of, like how an Earthling becomes a citizen of a country

  • If you register at lemmy.world, that means your home instance/ “home country” is lemmy.world, but you can “travel” to lemmy.ml, another instance / “country”, to check out and subscribe to their community

  • When you subscribe to a different instance that’s not your home instance, you can still participate in their content, and other people will be able to see which instance / “country” you’re from

  • Each instance can have its own version of the same “subreddit”, so you can have a c/Memes in your home instance that is different from a c/Memes in another instance. But you can subscribe to both separately

  • c/[community name] is the naming convention used here I think like r/[subreddit name] on Reddit. If talking about a community in a different instance, it's c/[community name]@[instance name] so like c/[email protected]

  • Donations will help with the cost of running lemmy.world only and not lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc.

Someone please correct any of this if any of it is wrong, I’ll happily edit

Doesn't look like a grape situation to be in

Sip happens I guess

Sorry medyong baluktot pa Tagalog ko. My friend explained it like this for less techy users:

  • Lemmy the platform is planet Earth
  • "instances" like lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org, etc. are like the different countries on Earth
  • When someone signs up, the user picks one instance to be a part of, like how an Earthling becomes a citizen of a country
  • If you register at lemmy.ml, that means your *home instance */ "home country" is lemmy.ml, but you can "travel" to lemmy.world, another instance / "country", to check out and subscribe to their community
  • When you subscribe to a different instance that's not your home instance, you can still participate in their content, and other people will be able to see which instance / "country" you're from
  • Each instance can have its own version of the same "subreddit", so you can have a c/Philippines in your home instance that is different from a c/Philippines in another instance. But you can subscribe to both separately (sidenote: c/ is the naming convention used here I think)

Someone please correct any of this if any of it is wrong, I'll happily edit

I'm still rooting very hard for Mercedes. If Canada works out very well again, I think it will set a very different tone for the rest of the season
