Pretty good, can someone explain how federation works with Lemmy? Are communities linked?
I'm commenting here from another instance (feddit.de) where I'm logged in and this community is available at https://feddit.de/c/[email protected]
Similarly, you can just access communities from other instances here, e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
but like if there are two Gaming communities on different instances, do they merge? or are they separate?
They are separate. Think of community names like email addresses: [email protected] is different from [email protected]
Similarly, [email protected] is different from [email protected]
This is the best explanation.
They don't merge, they're like different subreddits, you can see both and comment/subscribe on both, not sure there's something like multi-reddit, haven't see it yet but I'm pretty new myself.
Yeah, definitely confused about this + mobile access, since I haven't tried to use lemmy.world on a phone yet...
The mobile experience is not great yet. the last 6 months with mastodon clients though gives me confidence this will not be a problem soon. I already pinged Christian Selig about pulling an Ivory :D
Fingers and toes crossed. Typing on a laptop feels too old-school for me lmao
On Android I use "Jerboa for Lemmy" and it works great. I only couldn't find how to create communities in the app.
