I’m not sure if I can post here. Lemmy seems kind of complicated. For instance, I tried to post something and it said I can’t because I’m on a local instance. So how do I find out what instance a community is on and how do I make it so I can post?
An example: I went to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and searched for nostupidqestions and nothing was found.
That link takes you to a page where you can search for instances, not communities. That’s where you find a server on which to create an account, but not what communities exist.
You clearly have an account, so you should be able to just find a community, and then post to it. I’ve no idea what kind of error would tell you off for being “on a local instance”. That’s not even a combination of words that makes sense. Instances cannot be “local”.
.world has a bot that sends private messages to their users when mod actions are taken against their account.
In this case, OP posted something, it got removed, they got the message.
It’s not that they can’t post, it’s that they posted stuff that got manually removed.
Evidently they can post, because we’re all commenting under one such post.
Ok thanks. I’m out.
It can feel overwhelming at first, but you’ll catch on quickly. You’re making posts, there’s not too much else to it :)
It looks like a few of your past posts were removed by the mods of those communities, but you’ll find a lot of users here are happy to help clarify things.
If you have more questions, feel free to post here: [email protected]. Like Blaze mentioned, it’s intended for this purpose.
For example your question about Voyager:
SidebarRules aren’t in any special place, it’s just what the mods write in the sidebar of a community. Since each app behaves a little different, when in doubt just open the community in the web browser and look for things there
Thank you very much
