Proud to be a sh.itjust.works user
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?
We could use alternatives, but Lemmy is the best!
Whaaat there are alternatives?
It's at the top of the list on join-lemmy.org's popular server list, next to lemmy.world and beehaw.org, of course new users will sign up on the more popular ones. Plus, a few posts on reddit called out these three which set everything in motion.
Once folks start to understand how it works, they might start to sign up on other ones, for a "cooler handle @ address" for their user, or register a domain and start their own instance like I did.
Anyway, welcome aboard, right?
Hello from tchncs.de!!
Hello, kumpel.
Totally didn't see the .de at the end lol. I don't even speak German! >.<
I created my account at sh.itjust.works but I don't fully understand Lemmy yet. Finding communities seems confusing.
+1 for sh.itjust.works no wait for approval and a bit active. I tried to start a community but it didn't work, but then I searched for the communit (audiobooks) and there was one already on lemmy.ml so all good in the end!
I just don't get why every other reasonably big alternative bans lemmygrad.
Redditors and their eternal addiction to echo chambers.

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.

Sopuli.xyz has been a reliable instance :)
