Yeah this is a good point.
It took me months to actually start using Lemmy and Mastodon. I would consider myself a tech savvy person and it still took a while getting used too. I think there need to be better tutorials linked on the sign-up pages that help people understand the basic concepts. That would help drive true user acquisition.
I'm also a "tech savvy" and still trying to understand how all this works...
Still can't figure out how to join other instances or if I can join two at the same time
If two instances are federated you can access communities on both from either instance.
Beehaw must not be then
Correct https://www.hexbear.net/post/272797
Do you need to for some reason? You can subscribe, comment, and post to any community that's federated with your home instance.
If you're on Lemmy.ml and the comm you want to sub to us on Lemmy.world, you should be able to find and subscribe in the "communities" section. As long as it's filtered for all communities and not just your "local" instance.
Huh interesting. Sometimes I try and it days "subscribe pending" which I didn't understand what was going on
I just started with mastodon. Lemmy I'm pretty understanding at but do you have any people/ hashtags you reccomend following on mastodon to not make the whole place feel so small and repetitive? I'm interested in pretty much anything.
