Damn, that really sucks
Yes, the subscribing part wasn't related to the problem in this post (my bad), it was just another example of how unfriendly lemmy can be to users.
But you do need to subscribe if you want to have some instanceβs posts to the one you are currently on.
This was what I was referring to with the subscribing part. It'd be a chore to cultivate your homepage to show content you're interested in.
That...... is ridiculous. Already, subbing to another instance's communities is unintuitive.
- copy url
- go to your own instance
- search url
- click to go to community
- sub
- repeat for every single community
This will never become a reddit alternative if it's so finnicky!
I have done this, but it's pretty buggy.
If I search the post URL, I get 0 comments. https://imgur.com/a/Ec3GxO0 (Image from the search result so you can see I'm searching the lemmy.world URL as when clicking, it redirects to the lemm.ee URL)
If I search one specific comment's URL, I get one comment. https://imgur.com/a/gxIuUIu
So by this logic I would have to specifically search all comments to get the full content on one post? Doesn't seem reasonable.
Yeah hence why I said idk the cost of living and β¬4k might be enough. I also live in the north of England, on (28k but just went up to) 34k before tax but since I live in the city center of a big city, it's not a huge amount.. and I have a housemate
Edit and we're not talking close to 6 figs here, another user pointed out that β¬4k/month before tax is not even β¬50k a year so if they're living in a city that costs more than the relatively-lower cost north of England, they're not in good shape.
lemm.ee is about a day old I think (based on posts). the post I'm trying to interact with is 3h old, and I just subbed to the community about 20 mins ago. so does that mean I just have to wait and eventually the content will come through or it'll never come through?
Hmm ok, I'm not that aware of how much tax and what general cost of living is in the countries the 7 people are living in, so I guess β¬4000 (before tax)/month could be enough...
I think I'm misunderstanding, β¬28k for 7 full time workers is more than enough?
That's what I said in the body of the post 'you can click on the little link icon but it's less intuitive imo' π
