I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.
Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.
It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha
What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know
That’s not how it works.
You can subscribe to remote instances from your own instance. You shouldn’t be using multiple accounts.
For example, you are on lemmy.world, and the group you replied to is on lemmy.ml. I’m replying to the conversation from lemmy.blahaj.zone. The instances communicate with each other.
What you need to do is search for the instance you want to join. So if you see a cool group called
CoolGroupon a server calledsome.instance, you would go to the search box and search for!CoolGroup@some.instance. That will let you find it.Yes, that could and should be easier, but lemmy is not a finished product, and it was not prepared for the reddit influx, so it will take time to iron out usability stuff.
Just tried it from my lemmy.fmhl.ml account, the account I initially made, and wasn’t able to locate [email protected]
It might just be an issue with Jerboa.
Okay, I’ll give it a shot. I’m not sure if it’s works in Jerboa, but I’ll find out in a minute.
