First I created account there and then landed on my current instance, because lemmy.ml's admin views looks sketchy for me. Been living in ex-ussr for all my life I just cant accept all that communists and marxists and the fact that lemmy.ml has /c/Communism on it.

I know that's silly but that's why I'm not there anymore.

Profit motive ruined Reddit so you’ve come to a place created by communist then get upset that the people who made and operate it are communists. Yeah that’s more than a little silly.

There's a difference between being a communist and blindly supporting authoritarian dictatorships wearing communist masks.

I tried to start a kbin instance today and I literally ended up corrupting or deleting debian off the VPS.

So look I'm tryin' but uh...give me a little time.

Proudly burdening sh.itjust.works instead of lemmy.ml!

New user, signed up on an alternative. It isn't intuitive to add a community from another server. Got there eventually though!

When I first looked into Lemmy I thought picking an instance confined you to that instance. I think a lot of new people don't realize that isn't the case.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

It's definitely a new concept for people. I've been on Mastodon for a while so I'm already used to the idea of multiple instances

I think over time more people will figure it out and it won't be so confusing. Like how people intuitively understand that if you have a Gmail account you can still send emails to people on Outlook

I'm so sorry, I haven't seen the pinned post before registering. Maybe add notice to registration page?

When looking through the list of other servers, one thing I noticed is that a lot where in languages I don't know.

How easy is it to migrate yourself from one to another?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

You can’t

As someone who intentionally joined a different instance, the biggest issue is the “federation” doesn’t allow cross-authentication. Clicking a link to another instance moves me to that instance where I’m not logged in. Authentication should really be cross-instance.

My work blocks lemmy.ml but not many other instances. Unfortunately all the heaviest memes are on lemmy.ml ! I just want to look at fun memes instead of my lame ass patients what’s wrong with that

I setup Anarch.is today. Feel free to create an account. Still need to write-up guidelines, enable community creation, etc. but it’s ready if you want to post/comment on other instances.

If we run into server load problems i’ll upgrade it. 😎

feddit.de but we’ve had some heavy load an hour ago.

Coincidentally just when r/ich_iel went private.

Gotta see a lot of „Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn“ here in the near future.
