Yup, it'll be a great thing for new folks trying out Lemmy when this gets sorted out.

Yup, I agree wholeheartedly! It's just not my thing.
Agreed! Definitely not my thing.
I was a wee bit surprised (but not really, I guess) when just before the Reddit blackout everyone on Reddit was spamming their relevant Discord links for the relevant subreddit.
I could only think, "That's no better!!"
We'll see if that changes.
To add to that, Discord is an entirely different kind of interaction. Fine if that's what you want, but not fine if you want something a bit more....static.
Yeah, that's because the direct link takes you to a different server.
Instead, copy the link, and in your instance click on the search icon up top, and do a search for it there. That'll give you a link relative to your server/instance. Click that and you're good.
Yup, definitely seems some polishing is needed. I know the devs are hard at work, and with the huge influx of users more OS devs are likely to jump on board to help out. I suspect the biggest complaints will get ironed out fairly quickly. At least I hope so!
The auto-refreshing front page is very frustrating to use.
Sounds like that's being fixed soon.
Not a bad article. A bit light on details and the effects and consequences of Reddit's changes. However, many articles I've seen from other mainstream news organizations were slanted towards the corporate bias and made it sound like the concerns were no big deal.
Yup.
Everything is interconnected. You can browse, post, etc, on any community on any interconnected instance.
For a full list of all communities on all instances, look here:
If you want to get to that community from your instance, click on the 'copy' symbol and then in your instance do a search for it.
aggregation feeds from multiple instances are a feature being looked at for the future.
I'm glad to hear this! I'm assuming it'll be something similar to multi-reddits?
I hate the way the threads are constantly being re-arranged as new ones appear. It makes it much harder to read through them when they keep moving around. There should be a setting to turn that off.
I've read that's actually a known bug that is being actively worked on. It sounds like this should be fixed fairly quickly, with any luck.
Yeah, for certain kinds of live conversations while involved in a group activity, it works fine. But only for that, in my opinion.
