People need to realize you can use alternatives
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 like lemmy.world, because anyone can create their own community.
Beehaw seems pretty dope
They actually defederated with lemmy.world due to spam, kindof sucks, as users will miss out on communities on lemmy.world, lots of which were not spam.
I use lemmy.world. they have an associated mastodon as well.
Same here, except I have no interest in Mastodon.
Hello from tchncs.de!!
Hello, kumpel.
Totally didn't see the .de at the end lol. I don't even speak German! >.<
We could use alternatives, but Lemmy is the best!
I just don't get why every other reasonably big alternative bans lemmygrad.
Redditors and their eternal addiction to echo chambers.
Also Hexbear >
I've had a lemmy.ml account for a little bit but I'm trying out a lemmy.world account as I was put off by some of the things I heard about the original server.
Such as... ?
Something about lemmy.ml admin having odd views posted on their reddit account. Something I read but didn't really look into so take what I said with a grain of salt.
Where can we read about this to help understand this better? Where did you see this?
lmfao cope and seethe
Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.
I tried subscribing to a specific feddit.de community using Jerboa and I haven't been able to yet. Not sure whether I'm misunderstanding something or whether that's not possible.
Jerboa doesn't let you create an account. Just do that step on the web first.
I joined lemmy.world and it took 2 minutes.
I have an account and I'm logged in. I'm posting this from Jerboa. But it's not a feddit.de account. Maybe I'm missing something.
Jerboa search only finds communities that at least 1 person on your instance subscribed to, to find new communities from other instances easily I like to use https://browse.feddit.de/
Then when you find a community, go to the web version of your instance (don't worry it's (mostly) mobile friendly) and type !name@instan.ce (don't forget the !) Then you can subscribe there. Close and reopen Jerboa and your new community will show up in the list. The Jerboa devs are working on fixing this.
Whaaat there are alternatives?
I created my account at sh.itjust.works but I don't fully understand Lemmy yet. Finding communities seems confusing.
Sopuli.xyz has been a reliable instance :)
