Title says it all!? I'm a reddit refuge and picked this instance because it's A) Canadian (I'm in MN, so consider myself an honorary Canadian), and B) The clean energy thing.

Applied to Beehaw but never heard back. Dittos on Lemmy.ML!

So hoping this is going to be a great "home" away from Reddit for the foreseeable future.

Cheers, and well done on the instance, admins!

"this instance" :) I see you're on sh.itjust.works. I'm currently posting from fedia.io. Theoretically all the "fediverse" instances should interact with one another.

Well, this is the sh.itjust.works Main Community so it's kinda natural to expect people following it to have their account here.

The more the merrier though, by all means come around whenever. How's the server over at fedia.io holding up?

FYI to my fellow sh.itters I needed to select the language as English in order to reply to this comment.

I chose this one because it had open registrations. lemmy.world and .ml were my first choices simply due to size.

The description said english AND french so I hoped to discuss some french shit but as far as I can tell there is no french discussion, for now.

Edit : J'ai créé ça pour ceux que ça intéresse : https://sh.itjust.works/c/francophone. On verra si ça décolle mais mon but ne sera pas de le modder à terme.

Same. Maybe we should create some French-speaking communities?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Creating means modding I guess, and I wouldn't be sufficiently available to do that, as I am also trying kbin/social and squabbles to see what sticks.

bah on peut parler français si tu veux mais il faut parler français pour avoir des conversations en français pour que l'on vois le français quelque part, mais si on ne le parle pas on ne le voit pas et il n'y aura jamais des discussions en français

(┬┬﹏┬┬)

Bien sur. C’est trop facile d’utilizer l’anglais souvent.

Moi, j’apprends le français et j’ai choisi cette instance pour apprendre plus.

peut-être, mais je suis certain qu'il y a les gens qui parle français ici! Je parle in petit peu haha

There's a few more francophones in this thread

I suspect we need to create a community (although there may already be one we should join, I dunno, I've been here 30seconds)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

the server's been alive for less than a week, just make your own communities if you don't find them in the search bar :D you can find existing communities on https://sh.itjust.works/communities

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That doesn't show all of them. Better to check on the community browser.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I personally use this one: https://lemmy.directory/communities

more compact

I was just able to sign up. No loading button or waiting list.

Same as you beehaw was going to be my first choice but I couldn't get an account even after I read their docs and wrote what I thought was an essay. I like the tongue in cheek name and that they have open registration. I am also hopeful this will be my reddit replacement but I think it's too early to say for sure. Seems to be a chill community so far.

Lemmy.ml and other popular instances wouldn't let me sign up. The button kept spinning and spinning. I tried for hours to get in those instances, got frustrated and was about to give up on this whole lemmy thing. Then i tried with this instance within a second of hitting sign up button i was in. No weird indefinite spinning animation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Similar experience tbh. Tried lemmy.world, slow + approval process required. Tried here. Immediately in and lightning fast. Best server.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's because too many people are going to those instances and overloading them.
