Proudly burdening sh.itjust.works instead of lemmy.ml!

I just hope it lasts, worst thing would be if people just went back to reddit

That looks like a missed opportunity to me not using fedd.it :-)

I find it is nice to just join a server you enjoy at its core and then simply use the "all" sort of thing. I can see from other servers what is popular and can comment and upvote and downvote. It's all very seamless even if I am not in that home server

I don't think I spent more than 10 minutes total in /r/all in my 12 years of Reddit, so it's quite nice to browse all here and not be bombarded with rubbish.

It's at the top of the list on join-lemmy.org's popular server list, next to lemmy.world and beehaw.org, of course new users will sign up on the more popular ones. Plus, a few posts on reddit called out these three which set everything in motion.

Once folks start to understand how it works, they might start to sign up on other ones, for a "cooler handle @ address" for their user, or register a domain and start their own instance like I did.

Anyway, welcome aboard, right?

Well, hello from feddit.de! Since I'm a german user I thought it'd be only logical to register on a german instance. While new registrations are semi-locked, the criteria for being let in are quite easy to pass and they are mostly in place to filter out spam. Got my account approved right on the next day

Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.

New user, signed up on an alternative. It isn't intuitive to add a community from another server. Got there eventually though!

I tried to start a kbin instance today and I literally ended up corrupting or deleting debian off the VPS.

So look I'm tryin' but uh...give me a little time.

Join us over in beehaw, it's super chill and welcoming

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I'm so sorry, I haven't seen the pinned post before registering. Maybe add notice to registration page?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I think they should make a video guide to lemmy and link it on the join page.

I'm here from lemmy.one c: DECENTRALIZE.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I've had a lemmy.ml account for a little bit but I'm trying out a lemmy.world account as I was put off by some of the things I heard about the original server.
