MODERATORS
Gonna go against the grain, and recommend browsing the instance list and browse whichever instances look interesting to you locally, and then make that your "home" instance. Lemmy's connectedness is equal in importance to its disconnectedness, niche instances thrive and create interesting experiences, while federation allows crossover and further engagement.
Using Lemmy for its "all" sort is more of a replication of Reddit, while leaning into the strengths of federation can create a more unique experience IMO and usually a more pleasant one.
And finally, welcome!
Thanks!
Noted. Don’t fully grasp how this all works yet but I think I’m starting to get the idea. Seems like an evolution of Reddit.
No problem, people tend to love to help!
Especially when it means that Reddit gets one less user. At least for me
Yep!
