MODERATORS
'Communities' are akin to subreddits. 'Instances' are akin to reddit allowing other people to spin up their own version of reddit with their own ruleset, but still under the reddit umbrella; with other reddit-users being able to access other reddits. But, those 'other reddits' might decide hey we don't like clowns so we are blocking clown reddit; clown reddit can no longer access the other reddits, without directly registering on them.
If you want to expand your lemmy experience, when you fire up lemmy.world, there is a setting at the top which defaults to subscribed (iirc), change this to 'All' and it will show posts from all other instances that aren't defederated.
Thanks probably the best explanation I've ever gotten. Thanks for that.
Also, you can see what instances lemmy.world blocks/federates by going to lemmy.world/instances . You can check if an instance blocks/federates lemmy.world by going to thatinstance.ml/instances
There are a few instances that try to avoid defederating except as a last resort. vlemmy.net was one but that went offline unceremoniously last week.
No problemo
I use lemmy.world and wefwef on mobile, none of these problems
Android or Apple?
iOS
The language thing is annoying as hell on mobile. Connect doesn't allow me to select a language - or at least I can't find the button. I'd say approx 20% of posts get denied because "wrong language". I guess it's autodetecting and fails at that?
I use wefwef which is now voyager never had this issue.
Never actually chosen a language.
Many of the subs are empty because they were either created by squatters wanting to be uber mods of many subs or by the current reddit mods in case they wish to migrate in the future.
Website I can't speak to as I use the app which I've had no issues with and is updated daily.
I'm also kinda lost on instance but I'm in lemmy.world and I seem to have all the important subs/whatever I want.
Admittedly the language thing is the most confusing thing for new users. Just leave it at undetermined.
But there is no place to change it. And when you are trying to post, you're not sure what to do. If you cancel, you lose what you wrote (obviously can save to clipboard), but even then in the app, I haven't seen a place to change the language even if I wanted to. It's one of those quirks that can turn lots of people off and want to go back to Reddit.
It's in your settings. If you're using an app that may be the problem. For sure, the first day or two I was confused by it. I have mine set to undetermined & English. The list is kind of odd how to select them. It's been set it and forget it. Definitely a barrier to entry because it doesn't really have an obvious purpose when onboarding.
