Idk, Electrodynamix is a good choice, I also really like Geometrical Dominator

Well... there's me. And I had no idea lemmy was two whole years old wtf lmao

It works now, thanks! I'm not sure why it didn't before but well

Does that federation include all communities from that instance? If so, I should've had no problem, since lemmy.world is the 2nd biggest instance and was most likely already federated. I do seem to be able to see other communities from there I think, but idk. Searching for that only turns up the comments on this post lmao

But then what's the point of separating them into instances in the first place?

What no lmao. I think he had an accident or something and had to have his foot amputated, so he basically asked for them to give it to him and... he made tacos with it, and ate them with his friends.

 

From what I understand, in order for you to be able to see a community from another instance, it has to have been looked at by someone else from your instance, or something like that? But I'm not sure how it works.

For example, I've been trying to get to lemmy.world/c/geometrydash from here, but it doesn't show up in search (I'm using jerboa), and going to the url beehaw.org/c/geometrydash@lemmy.world doesn't seem to work. So, how does it work?

At this point it seems that being in a more popular instance is generally better because most of those connections will already be there.

Edit: well it worked magically now (with that you said below) soo 🤷

I finished The Wise Man's Fear and was looking for a new series to read. Stormlight kept popping up, although it didn't spark my interest immediately. But I still ended up buying TWoK, and the rest is history. I'll start Mistborn era 2 soon.

I might, but not exclusively. Definetly going back to Reddit

[–] Shlomito 1 points 1 year ago

Eh that sounds too big, more like an instance

Which, yk, would also work

[–] Shlomito 1 points 1 year ago

I did too lol. I tried almost all of the 3rd party ones but they each had some deal-breaker feature that made me return to stock. And honestly, I think it has the best UI. But... the bugs, the bugs are pretty bad, and they somehow kept getting worse. And amid this whole thing I retried Infinity, and unfortunately liked it. Used it for like a week before the blackout and hopefully will keep using it after it all ends, assuming they yield somewhat.

Thanks!

Right now I have an account in beehaw, lemm.ee and vlemmy.net. I know it's overkill, but it was mostly because I still don't understand how things like NSFW and no downvotes work when you're in communities from other instances. I'll probably end up with just one when I figure it out tho

Well, not really, I am very new to this. But that's another issue, I see no good way to find communities. You can go to that site and search for them, or hope they come up on your instance's search, but I see no way to find new communities you don't already know of. That also makes it so you don't know if the one you found is necessarily the one, although that could be fixed when more people come here and things develop more

I'm very new to Lemmy, I'm trying to see how it all works and what happens here. But honestly I feel like it might be a little too decentralized? Like, I know it's the point but I feel like this doesn't make for the best experience. Communities can be on any particular instance, and you can have repeats of communities for the same things. This feels overcomplicated, but I understand why it's that way.

Also, how many people are actually doing a full switch from Reddit? I personally don't intend on leaving Reddit, I'm just leaving temporarily, but not for any specific amount of time. I think that's what most people will do, or I guess I hope so, because Lemmy still has a long way to go before it gets good enough to make a competition, especially considering the drawbacks I said before, and I don't want us to lose all those communities that went black indefinetly, even if I supported the decision.

The point of the blackout was to protest, expecting an end to it all, although many are already wishing for an end for Reddit altogether from what I can see.

Idk, I still hope Reddit doesn't die tbh, I hope they listen to reason and backtrack a bit, or we find a way to bypass the restrictions somehow, I think I saw a revanced patch to many Sync work iirc, so maybe there's hope still.
