Lemmy.ca's Main Community

Hello, I'm a long time lurker from Reddit. Thought I would give this a try, I'm interested. I live in Ontario and work in healthcare IT. I'm still figuring out how Lemmy works. I used to browse Reddit by /r/all and filtered out the communities I didn't want to see.. looks like I can sort of do that by setting the filter at the top to All.

I'm very curious how June 12th is going to shake out. Will Reddit back down? Is this price anchoring? Are they going to lower the cost? There's no way I'm paying a subscription to use reddit, even if it was $1 a month lol

As someone who used to use FIDONet in the 90s, I have to say that I feel right at home in the Fediverse :)

I'm still not fully grasping this. Am I supposed to make accounts for multiple instances?

One thing I find confusing is the notification bell icon. I notice that even if I check it, it still registers the same number of notifications that it had done previously. This number never seems to go down. What's with that?

So I joined the .ml instance because .can wasn't listed...but is there a reason why it's so difficult to find the communities from Lemmy.ca when I search?

Would it be easier to just make a .ca account ?

Hello everyone,

Still trying to get used to the new setup over on Lemmy, however trying to make some new communities work. Want to get /c/ontario and /c/waterloo running with some active discussions and people. Hopefully we can make a difference. :)

Edit: I'd also love to know the hardware that you're running this on!

Hello! I have a question. In the settings, there’s this thing called the Matrix User. What is it for/What does it do, and would it be useful to make a Matrix account?
