With spez ascending the last few remaining levels of becoming an absolute wanker, it’s about time I got more active and I have been wondering how should I be using Lemmy efficiently? Like many I migrated from Reddit and I was primarly using Apollo to browse through my subscribed subreddits.
Over here on Lemmy.one, I have subscribed to communities and I scroll through my feed by sorting “All > Top Day” because sorting “All > Hot” means I end up seeing the same threads.
Then earlier today I discovered https://beehaw.org/communities where I found many communities I would love to subscribe to but then I got confused because I am also subscribed to more or less similar communities on lemmy.one.
I think I am sort of struggling to wrap my head around how lemmy really works and where I should be hanging out. It was easier on reddit in the sense that if I wanted to go LOTRmemes, there was only subreddit but here on Lemmy, there seem to be multiple instances of the same community :D
To top it off, it is proving hard to login to beehaw [probably the server is under stress] with the same details I use to login into Lemmy.one.
Not to forget there’s also Kbin which I haven’t even begun exploring. Phew.
ps - my apologies if I am sounding slightly incoherent as this is all new to me. If there is anyone out there who has this all figured out, I’d appreciate any help here.
Beehaw defederated from my instace lemmy.world, so they may have defederated from your instance too (idk anything about lemmy.one). this means that beehaw users won’t see your posts and I think you won’t see new posts from beehaw, only old stuff that lemmy.one saw before the defederation
you can think of Lemmy kind of like a Minecraft server. maybe the lemmy.one Minecraft server has all your friends on it while the beehaw Minecraft server has lots of new people. maybe some of your friends are on both servers.
maybe lemmy.one has banned some blocks like tnt to prevent griefing, so if you visit that server you won’t be able to blow stuff up, but in lemmy.one tnt isn’t blocked so you can explode things to your hearts content. either way, whichever server you play on, you’re still playing Minecraft.
I hope that made sense lol
Lemmy.one is still in their good graces, OP is/was still just a little confused about the nature of servers and communities.
What happened between lemmy.world and beehaw?
as far as I can tell, beehaw had a small amount of users from Lemmy world trolling beehaw users (like bad taste stuff I think, not just silly pranksters) and decided to block lemmy.world until it gets better moderation
