      He made it for me. The introduction came with so many words. I am determined to get the hang of it though!

        believe it or not, reddit was a lot like this 12 years ago. I have found people are a lot kinder and warmer here than reddit had become. Welcome!

          Absolutely! I get a lot of Reddit 2010 vibes here and I’m loving it!

    Bahaha. I’m the wife and I am on Lemmy. Husband doesn’t really do social media much.

    Welcome! Feel free to ask any questions about it and I will try to explain.

    I convinced my husband to join Lemmy just by saying the word Lemmy. He said he likes how the word sounds, lol.

      There are thousands of independent reddits in the Lemmy sphere. These are called “instances”. If two instances federate with each other (what most of the big instances do already), content from one will show up in the “All” feed of the other and you can participate there using the account of your “home instance”. You can comment as well as post and vote there. Creating a community is the only thing you can’t do on foreign instance.

      There’s only one caveat: You need to use the correct URL in order to be able to participate. If you’re from lemmy.world and want to participate on a community on sh.itjust.works, you need to use the URL “lemmy.world/c/[email protected]” instead of “sh.itjust.works/c/Community”, which is a little confusing at first.

    I wish my fiance agreed to at least try Lemmy. I tried to explain her why picking right server is important after which she said it’s too complicated…
