You don't need to be savvy to use Lemmy. I don't understand how this perception came to be. It's just that the crowd here is somewhat savvy
It didn't use to be like that after the first wave, with comms such as sewing, there were some gardening subs as well... the only one that kinda took off was the woodworking sub, that's it.
I opened a few subs myself, related to tech, but not really computer related, none of them took off, only a few posts at the beginning and that was basically it, no new posts whatsoever.
To be fair IMO you at least need some mindset that like okay this isn't working, how can I tackle that? Rage isn't sufficient in the long term and Lemmy itself isn't exactly user friendly just yet.
It's a bizarre new medium after all. I love it, maybe partly because of it.
I would argue that now, it's as user friendly as Reddit is. But, alas, now is too late π. There was a wave of instances dissappearing over night (vlemmy, fmhy, etc.), mods abusing power and... well, that crowd just felt safer with commercial media. At least their data and shared images won't drown into oblivion if an instance owner decided to just close shop π€·.
Weell, I mean it's not far far away but tell me how to make a correct link on Lemmy (and I will not ask for the meaning of 20047 or the Englishy greenish color π):
Seems to work for someone:
https://lemm.ee/post/!art[@dnzm@lemmy.ml
Works in a browser:
https://lemmy.ml/c/watercolor
Should work but if I paste it in the search bar of say Jerboa, it doesn't find anything:
!watercolor@lemmy.ml
It will all fall together in the end IMO but there are still a couple things to iron out.
Must say I like the smaller world here where everything (almost nothing?) isn't driven by some dopamine kick selling pointπ
For disappearing communities, it's a shame but I hope it's just communities thinking they could be new Reddit subs, which IMO is (excepted small established niche subs) very different from at least what I think a Lemmy community 'should' be.
We'll see :-)
It's NO in ASCII and I'm not a native English speaker... and this thing doesn't have auto correct, underline or suggestions π (Jerboa).
The correct way to share a community on Lemmy (so that apps recognize it as a Lemmy community) is with an exclamation mark, as in your last example. The search in Jerboa (as is with other apps) is broken, doesn't work like it should. Use the web UI search on your instance, you'll find the community.
Thanks, and it works today, guess my instance had some hiccup yesterday...
Ah yes of course! I was thinking of the leet codes put in stack memory or something π (like IIRC Nintendos DS compiler put 0xDEAD all over it some other was 0xC0FFEE.. etc, it was to catch stack overflows).
Hmm... didn't know that... but that makes sense π... the overflows I mean... good tip, thanks π.
I don't understand what problem you're trying to describe. The first link is incomplete, and the second one takes me to the watercolour community on Lemmy.ml.
Yeah IDK, it didn't work yesterday, now they do...
Define "bizzare". You don't need to understand too much of federation to be able to use Lemmy.
Depending on what works and what doesn't, that mindset may or may not be required to use Lemmy.
I like Lemmy enough that I will likely spin up my own instance at some point
The keyword here is "don't need to understand too much " which is more than for TikTok or Reddit.
It's not (yet) very streamlined either, it's a little bit of work to make your stream of information coming etc.
Like how a server doesn't show you all the communities, "only" those users on that server have already subscribed to (+the locals).
Not that hard but harder than TikTok :-)
