We're really building something here!
I am a reddit refugee here. Would love to be part of this community. Even got a user name I love than the ridiculous one I have at reddit. And this web app that you guys have built is Fucking awesome on iPhone and feels like I am using Apollo.
I'm looking at the Lemmy instances webpage https://the-federation.info/platform/73
Why are so many instances closed for sign-ups? Doesn't seem like a good thing for the potential July 1st deluge of new users.
Getting used to things here. Signed up with a random instance. Trying to figure out if there is any benefit to signing up with a particular instance, and if it's worth exploring for a better/closer instance to sign up with.
The benefit of having an account on lemmy.world is the amount of content already available on the site. But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account.
I’m on lemmy.world partly because it’s run a team of experienced admins, so uptime has been great (once we’re past this reddit influx).
"But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account."
I'm obviously still figuring this out, but this doesn't appear to be completely true, depending on the community. I subscribed to a community on another instance and the content isn't the same when I visit it from this instance.
I made a post on that thread https://lemmy.world/comment/690842
Yeah beehaw.org is the big exception to that statement. They're probably the strictest instance out there, and the result is that beehaw content does not sync properly.
I'm doing my part
First Post on here.
RIP RIF.
So incredibly sad, but hoping lemmy can be something special in its own right.
Using Connect for Lemmy and like what I've seen so far.
Former RiF user here. Connect for Lemmy is my favorite so far. I hope to see a LiF in the future.
Honestly, I expected more
Im active now!
Keen to see what those numbers will look like in July.
To hijack a brain dead crypto bro phrase:
tO tHe MoOn!!!
