Hi. I created a lemm.ee account and hope for a Reddit alt. I came to Reddit from StumbleUpon and Digg so I’m open to migrating to the next good thing.

I paid for Apollo and loved it. And I’ve found Voyager to be pretty close. So that’s cool.

I was able to migrate my list of subscriptions and find many similar communities and I continue to explore and subscribe to active communities on Lemmy.

But a few questions I can’t find answers to:

  1. Can I create a multireddit in Lemmy/Voyager? Like I want to keep NSFW out of my home feed in case my kids look over my shoulder while I’m casually scrolling, but would like to save some favorite nsfw subs in one place for “future convenience.”

  2. Lots of posts say, “Failed to Load Media.” Is that a common Lemmy thing? Or Voyager? Or my device?

  3. Do I need to subscribe to communities on multiple instances? Like I see there are a lot of Technology communities across various servers. Do those aggregate to one place? Or do I need multiple subscriptions until I find the instance that serves up the best content.

Thanks for your help!

    Re: 2 I get that a lot. And if you go to the host and look at the website it’s the same there. It’s either one of the hosts people use, or a file format, or maybe the content gets evicted for some reason like space. It doesn’t seem to be a federation or client issue.

    I did catch one where I saw the content on my PC and then it failed to load on my phone a short while later. I’m not sure what’s going on but there’s seems to be plenty of content even with those posts missing.
