Not in this day and age where me and my grandma have our own.

There are so many, you can't keep up to date with your hobbies unless you are willing to follow 50 platforms with 60 different UIs and community rules.

I prefer the aggregation of data like fediverse where we can follow topics and not platforms.

We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing.

There's been a lot of posts both here and on reddit saying that mentions of kbin and/or lemmy get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam.

Regardless of the outcome of the strike, Reddit already has died. The users that matter won't go back. The users that stay will be media and a large pool of lurkers with no value to the community.

Reddit as we knew it, already died.

Additionally to guides, there 100% needs to be an FAQ section somewhere.

The amount of times I can't find [insert other instance's community here] when searching for it has been asked is both insane and expected.

Fediverse is new(for most people) and people are confused. An FAQ page would help massively as a first stepping stone when encountering issues.

Regardless of the outcome, I hope Reddit's recent decisions turn in /r/leopardsatemyface.

mainstream media will discover Lemmy exists.

Mainstream media will 100% catch up more by the reveal of Meta's Twitter alternative that implements the ActivityPub protocol.

Yeah it's something that needs fixing since even right now in this thread I might be having a conversation with you but someone else seems completely different comments and not ours, nor are we seeing theirs.

It's unintentional fragmentation further than the one already existing due to federalization.

The ecosystem needs to be more consistent.

It's not uncommon apparently.

It's happened to me twice so far.. I supposed, the more strain on the server the more it shits the bed on this, but it is a security issue and needs to be resolved.

When it happened, I decoded the JWT and it wasn't different than my regular one. It still had my own subid as I usually have but for some reason, it shows me someone else's username.

This has been my experience with every community so far.

Even when I open the same post from 2 different instances nothing is the same and additionally, sometimes even the comments will load up for half a second and then everything disappears and it says 0 comments.

Finally, this is the same even for entire communities. Same community, 24 subscribers in one instance, show 2 from the other.

This has probably something to do with the fact that content is pulled only after users subscribe from another instance, etc. I'm not exactly sure how it works for now but it could even be a bug.

Yes.

I managed to get in because apparently now it's invitation only but I still MUCH prefer lemmy.

Mostly because everyone is moving towards ActivityPub and Tildes isn't.

Oh wow, already? I made an account a few days ago without restrictions.

My girlfriend has ~800 hours in Lost Ark and ~500 hours in Guild Wars 2.

She always nags me about not finding her new games. I am glad we are compatible in more than one thing.

Hey neighbour(Greek here)!

The way federation works, is that although federation is enabled the actual communities are not automatically broadcasted to other instances. If you want your newly created community to be visible to other instances you have to manually add it there by following these steps:

1. Copy the link of you own community. (i.e. https://lemmy.ml/c/greece for mine)
2. Find the instance you it to be visible in (i.e. beehaw.org for you)
3. Go to /communities in that instance
4. Paste your link in the search bar and press Enter. There will be no results but don't worry, it worked.
5. Delete the link from search bar and now type the name of the community (i.e. Turkey for you) and press enter.

You should now be able to see the community there.

Unfortunately each community has to be manually indexes in every instance but I think lemmy.directory is trying to index everything so people can find stuff easier, in there.
