I am happy whenever there is a fresh start. Brings out the flaws of my old ways.

Pretty cool to see. I'm excited to see it grow. I'm pretty adamant about Mastodon being a great platform and seeing other decentralized platforms grow is awesome. I wanted to know how I can see a list of instances, or if anyone has any recommendations? I know myself and a lot of others likely joined the largest instances first, but I don't want to add onto an already stressed server.

so this is where we flee pala, hi!

How do instances decide to defederate other instances popping up in the future? E.g. an NSFW instance is created but I don't want to see any of it when I browse "All".

So far it is okay a little confusing to get started but not too bad, and it seems to be getting busier every day

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I like it! Thanks for having us

There are some features I miss. I always loved finding subs that allowed one to set a custom user flair, and I don't think we have that yet. And, of course, there aren't as many people, so some communities are just empty. Trying to figure out if a community is already out there or if I should try and make one myself, it's a little overwhelming to just start out. But... It's exciting. I don't know if this place will be a forever home, but it's promising.

Looks clean and slick as well as familiar, many will find the transition smooth - excellent work!

Glad to be here. So far, so good. I like what I am seeing, even if I feel somewhat lost after about a decade on Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for having me, lemmy.world!

These instances feel quite cosy. Homely, even. I think they're called instances? I don't know. Anyway, I'm here.

If anyone has any super-noob friendly tips for being a good Lemmy citizen then I'm all ears - I'm an iPhone user so any app recommendations would be greatly appreciated too!

Thanks, just logged in. I'm so exited to use the lemmy. I really hope others from reddit come here so that we have even more engagement and much refined app.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I haven't used Lemmy much yet, but I'm honestly impressed by how well it seems to work so far.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

First post, liking what I'm seeing so far! Appreciate that signup here was quick/easy, had some issues on other instances.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Quite intuitive. I like it. And I was easily able to find quite a few of the communities I like to follow. Cool stuff all around :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is my first visit so I'm still trying to figure things out. I'm on the mobile website right now because I haven't been able to figure out how to log in on the Jerboa app. Can anyone tell me what "instance" means on Jerboa when you're logging in? I tried a couple different ones from the dropdown menu but they all said " incorrect login."

Instance is basically a server. All of the servers talk to each other, so you can post and comment on any one of them. But your physical account resides on only one server. Currently, you can't migrate your account from one server to another, but it's planned as a feature in future releases of Lemmy.

Your instance (server) is lemmy.world, so you need to type that in the instance field. Thus, your username on Lemmy (and in the fediverse) is [email protected].

On Reddit you have your home page or start page that shows combined content from all of your subscribed subreddits and nothing else... how do I get to something like that here, or isn't there anything like that here?

Feels a bit similar to moving to Mastodon from Twitter. easier to browse here than finding people to follow on Mastodon though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do we get as many people to switch as possible?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Well, for sure many redditors have never even heard of lemmy, so name dropping it in threads would help, but besides that, we can’t and shouldn’t spam it too much. Also quality >>> quantity I like the community here so far

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Interesting. I can see promise. I think this will be my stop if they kill relay for reddit.

Thanks to all who are working to make this site work
