Hello everyone,
I’ve seen your community created yesterday, welcome to Lemmy!
As I’ve seen a few people asking about mobile apps, here is a list with filters: https://www.lemmyapps.com/
At some point, apps might as your for your “instance”. You can fill that field with “lemmy.ca”, then use your username and password to login. This should work, if not, feel free to comment below.
If you don’t like the default lemmy.ca interface, there is also
- https://photon.lemmy.ca/
- https://voyager.lemmy.ca/
- https://alex.lemmy.ca/
- https://old.lemmy.ca/ (similar to old reddit)
All of those interfaces allow you to access the same content as the default interface, it’s all about preference!
There are a few guides available at [email protected]
If you have any question, feel free!
You must log in or register to comment.
Nice to see new communities over here. One thing that I do is in addition to reading up on the communities I’m subscribed to I like to go through /all because its nice to see stuff outside my usual channels. Also some of the Star Trek memes are funny despite not seeing the show
Hi! Sorry to ping an older thread, but (with your help) I just got around to finally downloading an app for Lemmy on my phone. So this is partially a test to see how it works (check check), but also I had a question I felt would be more likely to be answered here than out in the larger Fediverse (did I use that right? lol)
… soo on the lemmy.ca website, I was able to see both the upvotes and downvotes for each post/comment. On the app client I selected (Sync), it just shows the total. (For example: if a comment has 8 upvotes and 2 downvotes, it only shows the “score” of 6) but honestly I found it really interesting to see both numbers. Is there any way I can do that with the app? It doesn’t really change anything functionally, but I dunno, I guess I’m just nosey 😅
Anyway, thanks for this post! It was a big help 😊
Hey @[email protected]! I also use Sync and looked around my settings and couldn’t find it, so let me know if you figured it out. If not, you can also ask on the Sync community on Lemmy if you haven’t. Looks like there’s two, with the first being more popular, but you can ask on either or both.
Thank you for this!
And thank you for being so welcoming to this new community! It’s awesome seeing someone letting redditors in and showing them around Lemmy.
We always say that Lemmy is more welcoming, it was time to walk the talk!
Also very interesting to see newcomers use the platform
Hi, I just joined and I’m wondering how do we reply to comments. Thanks
Hello! Are you on the website or an app? On the website, there is a curved arrow that would open the reply text box:
I was on the website when I commented but I switched to an app and it’s much easier. Thanks for replying.!
How do I add a photo in a comment? I cannot figure it out. Idk if it matters (I’m thinking no) mom using the Avelon app
I tried downloading an app for it but can’t log in with my account? It keeps asking for an instance. Wtf does that mean? I feel so stupid trying to navigate this damn site.
Hey! Welcome to Lemmy. So, gonna try and explain instances for you and everyone else who reads this:
To use an analogy it’s kinda like different email servers. If you have a Gmail account, you can send emails to other Gmail users, yahoo users, or any other email server.
You’re on lemmy.ca. That means you go there to log in, your account is stored there, everything Lemmy related relies on that server for you.
I’m on sh.itjust.works. I’m on a different server, run by different people with different rules. If, hypothetically, the sh.itjust.works admin goes mad and starts doing crazy things (cough cough spez cough), I can take my account and go sign up somewhere else and still have access to all the same communities.
Lemmy is federated, which means no single person or organisation owns it all. Anyone can run their own instance and hook up to all the other instances.
I hope that helps!
Your instance is “lemmy.ca”, you can use that to fill that field that then your nickname and password, you should be able to log in.
Let us know how it went.
I got it logged in and set up using the Thunder app. Thank you so much for the help!
Glad to hear!
