Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

        Hi! :) new user here after 10 years on r*ddit

        What does being a new user have to do with seeing new feeds? Also is there a new user guide anywhere?

        Edit: Also lol can you view my saved posts or is that only something I can view?

        I have the option on the app to view other people’s saved stuff but it’s blank

          What app? I doubt you see saved posts unless there’s an option to share somewhere otherwise that goes against 100% of the idea of privacy.

          People probably use different accounts to filter content. Instead of flipping around settings and shit you just have one account for reading all the mindmelting horrible shit and another where you don’t subscribe to any of that. Who knows though

            Ohhhhh that makes a lot of sense.

            Thanks! It says “view saved posts” on each user but it’s always blank, so I was just making sure.

            App is memmy on iOS. Do you recommend anything?

              On desktop it does look like you’re viewing other people’s saved posts, but it’s actually always just showing your own. The app you’re on maybe has the same weirdness.

              I’ve been using liftoff on android. Not sure If there is an IOS version but I really like it. I see your user name is Buffalo, GO BILLS, if your also a buffalo bills fan like me.

              I see that too on Memmy but it shows blank on everyone but myself.

              I have a feeling that Memmy just reuses the profile page view for everyone.

      I created my Lemmy.world account when Beehaw defederated, and it’s now my main.

          They claimed it would be temporary and was to ensure “safety” of their community as other instances have open signups, and apparently the beehaw admin thought there’d be an influx of bots, or excessive posts requiring moderation. It doesn’t seem like that has happened though, and it also doesn’t seem like they’ve re-federated.

          They defederated (at least at some point) from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Probably more, but I’m too lazy this morning to go digging through their instances list or posts. Also ironically their ‘safe space’ doesn’t give me a very welcoming or safe feeling, so I prefer to steer clear of it.

      That’s me. Jumped a couple of instances as I started to understand federation and defederation.

        My main has the same name as my ancient Reddit account that is fairly well known in certain circles. This alt feels like a totally new, fediverse only experience and I kind of like it.

          Yeah I created accounts with the same name as my Reddit username, but then thought, why would I want to create a trail from Reddit to Lemmy? The point is to be able to be anonymous. Just started fresh with a new name

            I’ve had to make so many different reddit accounts over the years just cause I would change a device and I can’t be bothered to remember the passwords. It’s just whatever at this point.

      I did. Was having issues with lemmy.world. so signed up for another one and was using that. Today that instance is down, so I just jumped onto lemmy.world. I guess we will see what happens long term.

      I ended up deleting my main on .world to make my alt on a smaller instance. I hope we can all learn and spread out or at least join instances relevant to our hobbies or geographic position more than defaulting to the general instances.

      .world has been my main account, but now that I figured out how to transfer my subscription list to another instance, I’m starting to use a small instance to reduce .world loading.
