Man, it's difficult trying to jump-start a community. Here I am, sitting over at !adopted in case it ever takes off several months or years from now. Maybe !adoption would've been a better bet haha.
Please don't attack me personally like this
/s
It's just a PR notice.
you created the account on, in this case, lemmy.world.
Oh hey! I didn't know you could manually enter the instance - I thought you had to choose It let me log in! Thanks so much for the tip! :)
The first local instance I signed up before I fully understood/realized what I was doing was focused on getting together a Chinese or Chinese American instance.
Sort of unrelated to the general "Hey - I can't seem to log onto the app" enquiry, but I would be interested in helping out to evolve a Chinese instance. I'm not American, but am interested in trying to be a part of the Pan-Asian community.
Yes I did...
It's all a bit confusing, and ironically I wish there was a sub like r/NoStupidQuestions where I could ask for help. A few people have replied to me to tell me how the instances work, but I need an ELI3 or something, haha! Thank you for letting me know that it's likely just a bug. Will see how this smooths over in the months ahead. :)
Did you manage to figure it out?
On Lemmy.world? Or Lemmy.ml?
... I'm really confused about these different sites/instances/defederation.
I don’t see a win here…
That a jerkwad has taken over Reddit and will, in all likelihood, force it to become a ~~paid~~ cesspool.
There's nowhere near the amount of activity on Lemmy as there is (er, was?) on Reddit. But of course Lemmy is still in its infancy (comparative to Reddit, which has a collaborative seventeen year history behind all the threads/subs).
It's a very good sign to see that perhaps we collectively just need to be patient, give it some time, and Lemmy could thrive.
Can I get an ELI3? Haha.
