I just upvoted you and commented from another instance, how do you like them apples?!
I have seen a lot of people complaining that it’s difficult to join lemmy. Just a quick look through join lemmy and testing out a few accounts. It all does it easily.
Part of it seems to stem from people’s excitement to infodump about how federated social media works.
That’s relevant and interesting to learn about, but the average person just needs to hear “make and account here and start browsing memes” first.
Yeah, I’ve spoken to a few people on Reddit who have got themselves bogged down doing background reading where they just need to make the jump and learn as they go. Which is what most of us did.
The hard part if picking the instance I think… It is a friction point but thats the entire point of fedi…
Pick your own home… It isn’t rocket science
When I started, I had accounts on world, ml, and beehaw.
World seemed fine and a more general instance so stuck with it.
@[email protected] when I joined Pixelfed, I was able to use my fosstodon.org account. Do any of the MBin instance allow that type of cross service authentication yet?
Apprently, yes. Haven’t tested it (yet). Btw you are on a kbin instance. Fyi, Mbin is a community fork that superseded kbin with new features (more info on the link’s homepage…)
@[email protected] are you referring to kbin.melroy.org? Don’t let the DNS fool you. Like most Kbin instances, kbin.melroy.org is now running Mbin. In fact, kbin.melroy.org is run be the developer leading the Mbin project. My understanding from following a bitnofnthe Kbin/Mbin drama was that Melroy tried contributing to Kbin, but found Earnest unwilling to collaborate or delegate. If you look at https://fedidb.org/software/mbin, you’ll see many of the large instances that launched with kbin in the URL are actually running Mbin now.
