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

Think of it like email providers. You can go with Gmail, Outlook, Proton(mail), or even host your own server, but you can email anyone no matter which provider they're on, because they all follow the same standard.

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

I created my account at sh.itjust.works but I don't fully understand Lemmy yet. Finding communities seems confusing.

You have basic serach here: https://browse.feddit.de/ they index all communities on known instances.

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

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?

proudly hailing from NOT lemmy.ml 🤗

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

[–] top@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Gormadt@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] PlasmaK@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] pinkpatrol@anarch.is 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I setup Anarch.is today. Feel free to create an account. Still need to write-up guidelines, enable community creation, etc. but it’s ready if you want to post/comment on other instances.

If we run into server load problems i’ll upgrade it. 😎

I just don't get why every other reasonably big alternative bans lemmygrad.
