I rather like how total karma isn't tracked. I wonder how other people feel though?

Yeah I'm right there with you. I probably made about 5 accounts not understanding why I couldn't interact whenever I clicked certain links.
So now I'm trying to help others figure it out when I see a fellow lost redditor!
How federalization works can be a bit confusing. For me the biggest hurdle to get over was how the different instances - lemmy.ml and lemmy.world - are separate websites. They can connect and interact with each other because they're federalized, but your account is only on lemmy.world.
Now for some magic!
Relative links for communities (subreddits) can work across instances:
- eg: [/c/[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
- becomes: /c/[email protected]
As long as your instance knows the community exists the links should work.
Welcome!
I think just that is the confusing bit! Instances translate into separate reddits - as in completely different websites. Instance admins have as much power as reddit admins within the instance.
Communities are like subreddits, the main subdivision of an instance.
Where it gets confusing is you can subscribe to "subreddits" (read: communities) on other "reddit websites" (read: instances). It's pretty cool but can take a second to wrap your head around!
The next layer of confusion comes from how everything also interacts with things like Mastodon, Kbin, Peertube, and any other ActivityPub project.
Hey it's that guy who got 20 upvotes!
People know what they're doing?
back in my day there was only one thread with hundreds of comments. Kids these days have it easy.
