Hi, do you think lemmy would be as popular as Reddit ? I mean, many subreddits have much more posts compared to communities on lemmy… sometimes I scroll through Reddit sub top of month and see no end. At lemmy mostly I see 10 posts monthly… I do like concept of moving to lemmy, but it might make no sense if people’s are no active here and tbh I see the trend of disappearing activity

This post is on lemmy.ml, so if I opened it on the computer while I'm logged in to dbzer0, I wouldn't be able to type this reply.

That's very incorrect. I'm on midwest.social and I can reply.

That's odd, I can reply now. The link from my replies is https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5239822 though, rather than the original lemmy.ml link.

I've got https://programming.dev/c/learn_programming open in another tab, a link that I emailed myself to read on the computer, and that's asking me to log in.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Not odd at all. You're logged in on dbzer, you're not on programming.dev, because they're different servers. Your server fetches posts from other servers before you can comment on them.
